ABSTRACTWith general lighting applications being responsible for over 20% of the energy consumption in the United States, advances in solid-state lighting have the potential for considerable energy and cost savings. The United States Department of Energy predicts that the increased use of solid state lighting will result in a 46% lighting consumption energy savings by the year 2030. Smart lighting systems have the potential for reducing energy costs while also providing a means for short distance data transmission via free space optics. The group III-nitride (III-N) family of materials, including aluminum nitride (AlN), gallium nitride (GaN), indium nitride (InN), their binary and ternary alloys, are uniquely situated to provide light emitting diodes (LEDs) across the full visible spectrum, photodetectors (PDs) and high power, high speed transistors. In this work, aluminum gallium nitride (AlGaN) / GaN high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) and indium gallium nitride (InGaN) photodiodes (PDs) are fabricated and characterized. HEMTs and LEDs (or PDs) are grown on the same substrate for the purpose of creating electronic and optoelectronic integrated circuits.

The main contribution of this paper is to show a new AC/DC converter based on the rearrangement of the flyback converter. The proposed circuit only manages part of the energy and the rest is delivered directly from the source to the load. Therefore, with the new topology, the efficiency is increased, and the stress of the components is reduced. The rearrangement consist of the secondary of the flyback is placed in parallel with the load, and this arrangement is connected in series with the primary side and the rectified voltage source. The re-arranged flyback is only a reductive topology and with no magnetic isolation. It was studied as a power supply for LEDs. A low frequency averaged analysis (LFAA) was used to determine the behavior of the proposed circuit and an equivalent circuit much easier to analyze was obtained. To validate the theoretical analysis, a design methodology was developed for the re-arranged flyback converter. The designed circuit was implemented in a 10 W prototype. Experimental results showed that the converter has a THDi = 21.7% and a PF = 0.9686.
