CAT4026
6-Channel LED Controller
with Fault Diagnostics for
Large Panel LED
Backlighting
http://onsemi.com
Description
The CAT4026 is a high performance, large panel LED controller
designed to control six constant current high voltage LED strings.
Added control circuitry monitors the lowest cathode voltage and
generates a feedback control signal to an external Switch Mode Power
Supply (SMPS) to provide a low cost and efficient solution for large
panel high voltage LED backlighting.
Each LED channel current is accurately matched and controlled by
sensing an external resistor in series with a low cost bipolar power
transistor. This allows current and heat dissipation concerns to be
mitigated from the CAT4026 device package.
For added system reliability, both Open−Cathode−Anode (OCA)
and Shorted−Cathode−Anode (SCA) fault detection circuitry has been
included along with independent Fault flag logic outputs for
diagnostic purposes.
LED current dimming in all six channels can be precisely controlled
by either a Pulse Width Modulation signal via the PWM input pin or
by an analog dimming voltage applied at the ANLG pin. In addition
the ANLG pin provides a convenient method for limiting the overall
maximum power dissipation in the event of excessive LED shorting
within any LED string.
The device will automatically enter low current shutdown mode by
taking the PWM pin low for an extended length of time.

CAT4026
Pin Functions
VDD
The VDD input is the positive supply to the devices. VDD
should be nominally 5 V.
Each RSET pin contains internal compensating circuitry
to eliminate the operating base current, thereby maintaining
extremely accurate LED matching on all channels.
PWM
FLT−OCA
The PWM control input provides multiple functions.
When the first rising edge is applied to PWM input, the
CAT4026 will immediately power−up and remain powered
up until the PWM input has been held low for at least
typically 25 ms, at which point the device will enter full
shutdown mode and draw zero current.
When PWM is active (high level), all LED channels are
enabled. When PWM is inactive (low level), all LED
channels are disabled. For PWM dimming frequencies in the
300 Hz range, duty cycles as low as 0.1% are supported.
An internal pull−down resistor (120 kW typical) exists on
the PWM input. PWM logic high and low detection levels
are typically set at 1.2 V and 1.0 V respectively.
The FLT−OCA flag output is active low (open−drain) and
is latched whenever an Open Cathode−Anode fault
condition has been detected on any LED string. An external
pull−up resistor (10 kW) should be connected to FLT−OCA.
For systems requiring complete shutdown upon detection
of any open−LED channel, the FLT−OCA output can be
used to drive the shutdown control of the LED power supply.
For systems which must continue operation under
open−LED channels, the FLT−OCA should only be used for
diagnostic purposes (not for system shutdown).
The FLT−OCA is cleared upon power−down of the
CAT4026 device.
FLT−SCA
ANLG
The FLT−SCA flag output is active low (open−drain) and
becomes active whenever any LED cathode terminal
exceeds a user programmed voltage level (at the SCA pin,
set by an external zener diode). An external pull−up resistor
(10 kW) should be connected to the FLT−SCA pin.
For systems requiring complete shutdown upon detection
of any faulty LED channel, the FLT−SCA output can be used
to drive the shutdown control of the LED power supply.
For systems which must continue operation under faulty
LED channels, the FLT−SCA should only be used for
diagnostic purposes (not for system shutdown). In this case,
the FLT−SCA flag can be used to trigger an external power
derating circuit reducing the applied voltage at the ANLG
control input, thereby reducing the power dissipated in the
external bipolar channel transistors.
Note: If an Open−LED channel is present, the FLT−SCA
flag may become temporary active (depending on the user
threshold levels) while the system is diagnosing the
Open−channel fault. When the system has eventually
cleared (disabled) the open−channel, the fault FLT−SCA
will automatically clear itself once the system has stabilized
and returned back to normal operating conditions.
The ANLG controlled input allows the full scale
brightness level of all channels to be globally reduced. When
the ANLG control is taken below 3 V, the maximum LED
brightness will be equal to 1/3 of the ANLG pin voltage. If
the ANLG pin is taken above 3 V, it will have no further
effect and the brightness will remain at the full scale (100%)
setting.
An internal resistive network to ground (150 kW typical)
exists on the ANLG pin. The external source resistance
driving this input should be taken into consideration when
controlling the ANLG input.
A simple power derating external circuit can be applied to
the ANLG pin whenever excessive voltage is present on any
LED cathode.
If the ANLG control function is not required, the pin
should be pulled high (above 3 V) to ensure full scale
brightness is maintained.
BASE[1:6]
The BASE output pin drives the base of the external NPNs
to regulate the LED current in the associated string to the
preset value. External high−voltage bipolar junction
transistors, such as MJD340, are recommended.
Operating base currents up to 5 mA can be powered from
each of the BASE pins in normal operating conditions. In the
event of any BASE pin being shorted directly to GND,
internal protection circuitry will limit the drive current to
15 mA (typically).
IFB
The IFB pin is a pull−down current sink with a drive level
determined by the lowest LED cathode voltage as shown
below.
RSET[1:6]
The RSET input pins sense the voltage of the external
LED current bias resistors. Each RSET pin is accurately
regulated to a voltage of 1.0 V under the full scale brightness
condition (ANLG > 3.0 V).

CAT4026
External adjustment of LED Anode supply voltage is
controlled by the IFB current sink in conjunction with an
external feedback circuit. The external circuit should be
configured so that 1 mA drive signal will achieve the desired
necessary dynamic adjustment range for expected worst
case maximum LED string operating voltage range
A linear transconductance relationship exists for the drive
current (1 mA/V) for Cathode operation between 2.5 V and
3.5 V.
If the open−LED function is not used, the OCA pin should
be tied to GND.
VCS
The VCS pin is connected to each LED cathode via a
diode array. This pin detects the lowest LED cathode voltage
and sets the feedback signaling to allow the SMPS to adjust
the LED Anode voltage to the appropriate levels for
optimum efficiency (3 V operating point for the minimum
cathode voltage on any string). An external high voltage
diode array such as BAS21LT is recommended.
C1
Connect a capacitor of 1 nF and a 10 kW resistor from the
C1 pin to the LED Anode voltage. Capacitor voltage rating
must be greater than the highest LED anode voltage.
VA
The VA output pin is optional and allows the user to power
an external feedback control circuit for setting the common
LED Anode operating voltage level.
This output is a buffered voltage signal, which tracks 50%
of the internal reference being used to control and set the
nominal operating level of the lowest LED Cathode string
voltage. An internal source impedance of 250 W is present
on this output and the nominal voltage is set to 1.8 V
(thermal compensation exists to cancel out the external
sensing diode temperature coefficient present on the VCS
pin).
C3
Connect pin to GND.
SCA
The SCA pin is used to detect a severe mismatch in LED
string voltage, such as the occurrence of an Anode−Cathode
short. The SCA pin is connected to each LED cathode via a
diode array and a voltage level translator. The threshold
voltage of the detector can be adjusted by using an external
Zener diode.
A conduction level of 1.5 mA into the SCA pin will trigger
a FAULT condition. The FAULT condition will be cleared
upon the conduction current level falling below 0.5 mA and
normal operation will resume.
VC
The VC pin is a buffered voltage signal, which tracks 50%
of the voltage level present at the VCS input pin (i.e. the VC
voltage is determined by the lowest operating Cathode
voltage present on any LED string).
This signal provides a convenient feedback control
method for systems which use standalone converters to
generate the LED Anode supply voltage (as opposed to a
current feedback option). An external suitable resistive
divider, at the VC pin, can be used to directly control the
feedback input of the standalone converter.
During shutdown mode, the VC pin is forced into high
impedance mode, while during normal operation an output
source impedance of 360 W is present on the VC pin.
OCA
The OCA input is used to detect and protect against
abnormally high LED Anode condition. An external
resistive divider connected to the OCA pin, from the LED
Anode voltage, will trigger a FLT−OCA condition once the
OCA input level exceeds 1.0 V. Any open−LED channel will
automatically be disabled and removed from the feedback
loop when OCA is triggered. This method provides an
auto−recovery feature for the system to resume normal
operation ensuring only the ‘good’ LED channels are
included in the feedback loop.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Shorted LED
In some cases, the LED string voltage may be different
between different strings (channel voltage mismatch). This
can be due to LED forward voltage variation or some LEDs
becoming shorted in one of the string. One of the string
would have a total LED forward voltage lower than other
channels. In operation, the cathode voltage of the “shorted”
channel will be higher than the other channels causing more
power to be dissipated in the external transistor of that
channel. Therefore, it is useful to detect this condition and,
if needed, derate the LED channel current. The highest
cathode voltage is sensed at the SCA pin through a
diode−OR network. A zener in series with the diodes, shown
in Figure 21, allows to adjust the cathode threshold voltage.
Once the SCA pin sinks more than about 1.3 mA, the
FLT−SCA fault is triggered and the pin is pulled low.
Figure 20 shows a power−up waveform for a threshold
voltage at about 45 V. In this example, when the fault is
triggered, the LED current decreases from 100 mA to 20 mA.
Operation with Open and Shorted LED
The CAT4026 can detect both open and shorted LED
strings through two diode−OR circuits connected
respectively to the VCS and SCA pins, as shown in the
application circuit in Figure 1.
Open LED
When one of the channel becomes open or disconnected,
its cathode voltage drops to zero pulled down by the current
sensing resistor (R1−R6). The lowest cathode voltage is
sensed through a diode at the VCS pin (VCS pin is around
0.6 V above the lowest cathode voltage). This causes the
CAT4026 current feedback pin (IFB) current to increase to
1 mA and the power supply to increase the anode voltage
VOUT until the OCA pin exceeds 1 V threshold and latches
on the FLT−OCA fault (the pin is pulled low). At that time,
the CAT4026 disables the open channel (corresponding
BASE pin voltage goes to GND) and will ignore that channel
until the driver is shutdown. The FLT−OCA pin remains low
until the CAT4026 goes to shutdown mode or is powered
down. The output voltage VOUT now returns to normal
operation level where the lowest cathode voltage is around
3.2 V (VCS pin around 3.6 V). The anode voltage is sensed
at the OCA pin through a resistor divider (Ra, Rb) as shown
in Figure 21.

Figure 21 shows a partial application schematic relative to
the OCA and SCA fault detection.

Unused LED Channels
For applications that require less than 6 LED channels, the
unused channel BASE and RSET pins should be left
floating. All the other used channels will operate normally.
