AP1695-20C
Application Information Based on Buck Structure
The AP1695-20C uses constant on time control method within one AC cycle to achieve the high power factor. When the dimmer is connected to
the driver, although a part of input voltage is cut off by the dimmer, the system still operates as constant on time mode, in this way good dimmer
compatibility can be realized.
