This Low-cost LED dimer project includes two main parts, an LM3578 chip, and a MOSFET. The LM3578 generates a PWM signal, and Q1 MOSFET helps to drive a high current LED. The project also includes current limit feature. Over current trigger point is set to 1.1A. LED intensity can be set using a board trimmer potentiometer. The compact and low-profile circuit occupies a very small area. PCB has the option to mount DIP8 IC or SOIC8 IC.

Note: Read the datasheet of LM3578 to alter the PWM Duty Cycle, Current Limit, Operating PWM Frequency etc.

Connections

  • CN1: Pin 1 + Pin 2 = VCC and Pin 3 + Pin 4 = GND
  • CN2: Pin 1 + Pin 2 = VCC and Pin 3 + Pin 4 = -Load
  • PR1: Trimmer Potentiometer to adjust the LED Light Intensity

Features

  • Supply 12V DC
  • Load Up to 1Amp (1 to 10W – 12V LED)
  • Over Current Limit 1.1A
  • PWM Duty Cycle 0 to 80%
  • PWM Frequency 10Khz
  • On Board Power LED
  • PCB Dimensions 47.94 x 15.56mm
