Vac=220 25.2
Vac=230 24.9
Vac=240 25.0
Vac=250 25.2
Vac=260 25.5
200Vac 260Vac output current deviations 4.8%
200Vac 240Vac output current deviations 3.6%
As shown in Table 2, after increasing clamp circuit, the LED linear constant-current drive circuit of the present invention may insure input voltage When in the range of 200Vac-260Vac, line regulation is less than 5%, and line regulation is less than in the range of the 200Vac-240Vac 4%, so as to drastically increase the line regulation of LED linear constant-current drive circuit, meet the demand of side circuit.

If removing clamp circuit, when carrying out line voltage compensation only with line voltage compensation module, Vref1=(Vbg-Ic1* R2) * R3/ (R3+R2)=Vcs1=Iled*Rcs.The electric current Ic1 of wherein input line voltage compensating module causes first with reference to electricity Pressure Vref1 reduces, also so that output current Iled reduces.
