6. INDUCTOR CONSTRUCTION
The CDB1610A-8W includes a critical conduction mode (CRM) boost converter that provides power factor correction
and dimmer compatibility with a constant output current, quasi-resonant flyback stage. The following sections de-
scribe the boost and flyback inductors installed on the CDB1610A-8W.
6.1 Boost Inductor
The CS1610A uses an adaptive dimmer compatibility algorithm to control the boost inductor stage, which guaran-
tees dimmer compatibility operation plus enables flicker-free operation with leading-edge, trailing-edge, and digital
dimmers. The boost auxiliary winding is used for zero-current detection (ZCD) and supplies power to the CS1610A.
