LM3401 MR16 Reference Designs for Non-Dimming and Dimming LED Applications

LM3401-MR16DEMO/NOPB, design was developed to minimize the current spikes coming out of an electronic transformer to less than 5A, which is a typical transformer rating, when driving an LED MR16 circuit. The off the shelf LED MR16 solutions exhibit spikes that significantly exceed a transformer's maximum rated output current which will degrade the reliability of the transformer and reduce its operating lifetime
