4 FUNCTIONAL DIAGRAM 5 VIN SW R R FB Q R Q + - X DISABLE POWER SET TRANSISTOR 50ns ONE-SHOT DRIVER CLEAR X + R - 5.5mV 0.5 GND Shutdown Logic THEORY OF OPERATION General Overview: Operation can be best understood by referring to the functional diagram above and the typical application circuit on the front page. Q and Q along with R and R form a band gap reference. The input to this circuit completes a feedback path from the high voltage output through a voltage divider, and is used as the regulation control input. When the voltage at the FB pin is slightly above.v, comparator X disables most of the internal circuitry. Current is then provided by capacitor C, which slowly discharges until the voltage at the FB pin drops below the lower hysteresis point of X, about 6mV. X then enables the internal circuitry, turns on chip power, and the current in the inductor begins to ramp up. When the current through the driver transistor reaches about 50mA, comparator X clears the latch, which turns off the driver transistor for a preset 50nS. At the instant of shutoff, inductor current is diverted to the output through diode D. During this 50nS time limit, inductor current decreases while its energy charges C. At the end of the 50ns time period, driver transistor is again allowed to turn on which ramps the current back up to the 50mA level. Comparator X clears the latch, it s output turns off the driver transistor, and this allows delivery of L s stored kinetic energy to C. This switching action continues until the output capacitor voltage is charged to the point where FB is at band gap (.V). When this condition is reached, X turns off the internal circuitry and the cycle repeats. The contains circuitry to provide protection during start-up and while in short-circuit conditions. When FB pin voltage is less than approximately 00mV, the switch off time is increased to about.us and the current limit is reduced to about 70% of its normal value. While in this mode, the average inductor current is reduced and helps minimize power dissipation in the, the external inductor and diode.

9 APPLICATION INFORMATION Inductor Selection For, the internal switch will be turned off only after the inductor current reaches the typical dc current limit (I LIM =50mA). However, there is typically propagation delay of 00nS between the time when the current limit is reached and when the switch is actually turned off. During this 00nS delay, the peak inductor current will increase, exceeding the current limit by a small amount. The peak inductor current can be estimated by: I PK = I LIM + (MAX) 00nS L The larger the input voltage and the lower the inductor value, the greater the peak current. In selecting an inductor, the saturation current specified for the inductor needs to be greater than the peak current to avoid saturating the inductor, which would result in a loss in efficiency and could damage the inductor. Choosing an inductor with low DCR decreases power losses and increase efficiency. Refer to Table for some suggested low ESR inductors. Table. Suggested Low ESR inductor MANUF. PART NUMBER DCR Current (Ω) Rating (ma) MURATA LQHCN00K (0µH) TDK NLC5T-00K (0µH) Diode Selection A schottky diode with a low forward drop and fast switching speed is ideally used here to achieve high efficiency. In selecting a Schottky diode, the current rating of the schottky diode should be larger than the peak inductor current. Moreover, the reverse breakdown voltage of the schottky diode should be larger than the output voltage. Capacitor Selection Ceramic capacitors are recommended for their inherently low ESR, which will help produce low peak to peak output ripple, and reduce high frequency spikes. For the typical application,.7µf input capacitor and.µf output capacitor are sufficient. The input and output ripple could be further reduced by increasing the value of the input and output capacitors. Place all the capacitors as close to the as possible for layout. For use as a voltage source, to reduce the output ripple, a small feedforward (7pF) across the top feedback resistor can be used to provide sufficient overdrive for the error comparator, thus reduce the output ripple. Refer to Table for some suggested low ESR capacitors. Table. Suggested Low ESR Capacitor MANUF.

The bias resistor R b, as shown in the typical application circuit is used to set the operating current of the white LED using the equation: R b = V FB I F where V FB is the feedback pin voltage (.V), I F is the operating current of the White LEDs. In order to achieve accurate LED current, % 9

10 APPLICATION INFORMATION precision resistors are recommended. Table below shows the R b selection for different white LED currents. For example, to set the operating current to be 0mA, R b is selected as 60. Ω, as shown in the schematic. Table. Bias Resistor Selection I F (ma) R b (Ω) Output Voltage Program The can be programmed as either a voltage source or a current source. To program the as voltage source, the requires feedback resistors R & R to control the output voltage. As shown in Figure. VIN C 5 L U G ND SW.V Figure.

Divider Resistor Selection V OUT (V) R (Ω) R (Ω) M K 5 M 88.7K 8 M 7.K M 6.9K 0 M.K Brightness Control Dimming control can be achieved by applying a PWM control signal to the pin. The brightness of the white LEDs is controlled by increasing and decreasing the duty cycle of The PWM signal. A 0% duty cycle corresponds to zero LED current and a 00% duty cycle corresponds to full load current. While the operating frequency range of the PWM control is from 60Hz to 700Hz, the recommended maximum brightness frequency range of the PWM signal is from 60Hz to 00Hz. A repetition rate of at least 60Hz is required to prevent flicker. The magnitude of the PWM signal should be higher than the minimum voltage high. Open Circuit Protection When any white LED inside the white LED module fails or the LED module is disconnected from the circuit, the output and the feedback control will be open, thus resulting in a high output voltage, which may cause the SW pin voltage to exceed it maximum rating. In this case, a zener diode can be used at the output to limit the voltage on the SW pin and protect the part. The zener voltage should be larger than the maximum forward voltage of the White LED module. R =( V OUT - ) R. 0

11 APPLICATION INFORMATION Layout Consideration Both the input capacitor and the output capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the IC. This can reduce the copper trace resistance which directly effects the input and output ripples. The feedback resistor network should be kept close to the FB pin to minimize copper trace connections that can inject noise into the system. The ground connection for the feedback resistor network should connect directly to the GND pin or to an analog ground plane that is tied directly to the GND pin. The inductor and the schottky diode should be placed as close as possible to the switch pin to minimize the noise coupling to the other circuits, especially the feedback network. Power Efficiency For the typical application circuit, the output efficiency of the circuit is expressed by η = V OUT I OUT I IN Where, I IN, V OUT, I OUT are the input and output voltage and current respectively. While the white LED efficiency is expressed by η = (V OUT -.) I OUT I IN This equation indicates that the white LED efficiency will be much smaller than the output efficiency of the circuit when V OUT is not very large, compared to the feedback voltage (.V). The other power is consumed by the bias resistor. To reduce this power loss, two circuits can be used, as shown in Figure and Figure. In Figure, a general-purpose diode (for example, N8) is used to bring the voltage across the bias resistor to be around 0.7V. R is used to create a loop that provides around 00µA operating current for the diode. % efficiency improvement can be achieved by using this VIN.7-.V C.7uF method. Figure. Improve Efficiency with Diode in Feedback Loop To further improve the efficiency and reduce the effects of the ambient temperature on the diode D used in method, an op amp circuit can be used as shown in Figure.
