AL9910AEV2 User Guide High Current and High Voltage LED Driver General Description This demonstration board utilizes the AL9910A high voltage PWM LED Buck controller providing a cost effective solution for offline high brightness LED applications. This user‐friendly evaluation board provides users with quick connection to their different types LEDs string. The demonstration board can be modified to adjust the LED output current (2.5A) and the number of series connected LEDs that are driven. Key Features High output current, 2.5A ~ 90% efficiency DC input voltage range up to 80V Low BOM cost PWM Dimmable Applications Signage and decorative LED lighting High current DC‐DC LED driver High intensity lamps Street lamps AL9910AEV2 Rev1 August 2014 www.diodes.com AL9910A EV2 Specifications Parameter Value Input Voltage Output Power LED Current LED Voltage Efficiency Number of LEDs 40 to 80VDC 50 – 60W 2.5A (Adjustable) 25V ~90% (2) sets of 8 LEDs in parallel (Under Tested) 3.00 ” x 3.25” Yes XY Dimension ROHS Compliance Evaluation Board DC- LED+ DC+ LEDFigure 1: Top View Connection Instructions Input Voltage: 40 to 80VDC (DC+, DC‐) LED Outputs: LED+ (Red), LED‐ (Black) Page 1 of 6 AL9910AEV2 User Guide High Current and High Voltage LED Driver Evaluation Board Schematic Figure 2: Evaluation Board Schematic Evaluation Board Layout Figure 3: PCB Board Layout Top View Figure 4: PCB Board Layout Bottom View AL9910AEV2 Rev1 August 2014 www.diodes.com Page 2 of 6 AL9910AEV2 User Guide High Current Non-Dimmable Quick Start Guide 1. By default, the evaluation board is preset at 2.5A LED Current by R25, and R26. Non‐ Dimmable by R22, remove R22 to allow PWM Dimming input. 2. Ensure that the DC source is switched OFF or disconnected. 3. Connect the DC line wires of power supply to “Vin and GND” on the left side of the board. 4. Connect the anode wire of external LED string to LEDA output test point. 5. Connect the cathode wire of external LED string to LEDK output test point. 6. Turn on the main switch. LED string should light up.
