DESCRIPTION
The UTC L5107 is a high powered PWM boost converter
optimized for constant current applications such as driving one or
more strings of high power LEDs. The powerful drive circuitry can
deliver up to 70W to the LED system.
The output current can be set by an external resistor
connected the IADJ pin and GND. This average current can be
reduced by applying a PWM signal to the PWMD pin. The UTC
L5107 offers a dither feature to reduce EMI.
The UTC L5107 has a large input voltage range from 6V to
45V and the switching frequency can be set by an external
resistor between 100kHz and 1MHz for diffident LED systems. To
protect the device over voltage protection circuit and under
voltage lock-out circuit have been incorporated as well as thermal
shutdown circuit.

LINEAR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTIOM
The UTC L5107 DC-DC converter is based on a peak current mode PWM architecture which regulates the
feedback voltage at 0.25V under normal operating conditions. The constant output current converter is the preferred
method for driving LEDs. Figure 2 shows the typical application schematic.
The UTC L5107 configured as a boost controller can allow for the design of multiple LEDs in series to help
maintain color and brightness.
The input voltage range of the UTC L5107 is very wide, from 6V to 45V. In addition, the LED current and the
switching frequency can be programmed to a wide range of values through the external resistors for diffident LED
systems. The UTC L5107 can also control the brightness of the LEDs through its PWMD pin.

POWER TOPOLOGY
Constant Output Current Controller
The UTC L5107 as a peak current mode boost controller has been designed to provide a constant output current.
In the boost configuration, the output can be set from VIN up to 100V.
This LED driver features a built-in soft-start circuitry in order to prevent start-up surges. Other protection features
include:
* Current Limit (ILIMIT)-Current sensing for over current and overload protection
* Over Voltage Protection (OVP)-Output over voltage protection to prevent operation above a safe upper limit
* Under Voltage Lockout (UVLO)-UVLO designed to prevent operation at very low input voltages
Setting the LED Current
The current through the LED string is set by the resistor, RADJ. This value can be calculated using Equation 1:
ILED 
Eq. (1)
0.25V
RADJ
VDD
VDD is an internal linear regulator power supply for the internal circuitry of the UTC L5107. A 10μF ceramic bypass
capacitor is required at the VDD pin. This pin is for filtering only and should not connect an external load to this pin.
Soft Start
A soft start build in the boost switching converter is used to limit the inrush current from the line supply. The soft
start delay can be set using the compensation capacitor (CCOMP in Figure 2).
A 10nF ceramic capacitor will be OK at all operating conditions.
Oscillator and Switching Frequency Selection
In the UTC L5107, the switching frequency can be set by choosing the appropriate value for the resistor, RFS
according to Equation 2:
1.035
 7530 

RFSKΩ  
 FSW kHz  
Eq. (2)
Dithering
The UTC L5107 has a feature which dithers the switching frequency by ±10%. The purpose of this dithering is to
help achieve a spread spectrum of the conducted EMI noise. This can allow for an overall reduction in noise
emission by approximately 10dB.
LED Dimming
The UTC L5107 of LED drivers can dim the brightness of the LED string. A PWM input signal of up to 500Hz can
be applied to the PWMD pin (see Figure 2) to pulse the LED string ON and OFF. It is recommended to use PWM
dimming signals above 120Hz to avoid any recognizable flicker by the human eye. PWM dimming is the preferred
way to dim a LED in order to prevent color/wavelength shifting, as occurs with analog dimming. The output current
level remains constant during each PWMD pulse.

POWER TOPOLOGY(Cont.)
Output Over Voltage Protection (OVP)
The UTC L5107 provides an OVP circuitry with a reference value of 1.25V in order to protect the system from an
over voltage fault condition. This OVP point can be programmed through the use of external resistors (R1 and R2 in
Figure 2). This OVP voltage can be calculated using Equation 3:
VOVP 
Eq. (3)
1.25  (R1  R2 )
R2
Current Limit
The UTC L5107 features a current limit protection feature to prevent any current runaway conditions. The current
limit circuitry monitors current on a pulse by pulse basis. It limits the current through the inductor by sensing the
voltage across RCS. When 0.45V is present at the IS pin, the pulse is truncated. The next pulse continues as
normally until the IS pin reaches 0.45V and it is truncated once again. This will continue until the output load is
decreased.
Select RCS using Equation 4:

Slope Compensation
The UTC L5107 requires slope compensation for the peak current mode controller. The UTC L5107 uses an
external resistor, RSLC for slope compensation. The ability to set the proper slope compensation through the use of a
single external component results in design flexibility. Select RSLC using Equation 5:
