Schaffner has added the ED100/ED101 EMC filter series for LED driver circuits. The new filter’s common-mode inductance is matched by a substantial differential-mode inductance. With only one component required on the PCB both types of noise can be mitigated, saving cost and space while increasing reliability. LEDs are very sensitive to overcurrent and “driver circuits” keep the ...
