What is the difference between AC-DC converters and LED drivers?

While both AC-DC converters and LED drivers convert AC input to DC output, they serve different purposes: AC-DC converters are general-purpose power supplies that provide regulated DC voltage for various electronic devices. They focus on efficiency, size, and cost optimization. LED drivers are specifically designed for LED lighting applications, with features like constant current regulation, dimming control (analog and PWM), high power factor correction, and protection against LED fault conditions. LED drivers also need to meet specific safety and performance standards for lighting applications.

Choose AC-DC converters for general power supply applications, and LED drivers specifically for LED lighting designs requiring dimming and current regulation.
