The ‘ADJ’ pin and the ‘TADG’ pin are disabled. Boost-only mode is selected by changing PL1 In boost mode, the total LED output voltage is <=47V. The supply voltage for the ZXLD1370EV2 is >=6V, <= (total LED voltage). In buck-boost operation, the input voltage range is limited by the overvoltage threshold voltage and the LED voltage. >=6V, <=(47V – VLED). For other reference designs or further applications information, please refer to the ZXLD1370 datasheet. Q2 and Z1 protect the circuit from open-circuit LEDs. The overvoltage threshold of the evaluation board is 47V. (Set by the 47V Zener diode Z1) The overvoltage threshold can be increased by using a Zener diode with a higher voltage (56V) Do not use a Zener diode of higher voltage than the MosFet or ZXLD1370. Boost and Buck-boost modes, average ILED= average IINDUCTOR x R10/(R9+R10) The nominal current, ILED for the evaluation board is set to 350mA. OPERATION In Boost and Buck-boost mode the LED current is sensed by the series resistor (R1 // R2). An output from the control loop drives the input of a comparator. The comparator drives the gate of the external NMOS switch transistor via ‘GATE’ pin. When the NMOS switch is on, current flows from VIN, via (R1 // R2), inductor and switch to ground and increases until a high value is reached. Then, GATE goes low, the switch turns off and the current flows through (R1 // R2), the inductor, D1 and the LED, to ‘VIN’ (Buck-boost mode), or ‘GND’ (Boost mode). When the inductor current has gone low, ‘GATE’ goes high, and the cycle of events repeats. The circuit oscillates. The average current in the LEDs is equal to the average of the maximum and minimum threshold currents. The ripple current (hysteresis) is equal to the difference between the thresholds. The average current in the LED is always less than the average current in the inductor and the ratio between these currents is set by the values of resistors R9 and R10. The peak current in the LED is equal to the peak current in the inductor. The control loop keeps the average LED current at the level set by the voltage on the ‘ADJ’ pin. Loop compensation is achieved by C1. Bootstrap Circuit The ZXLD1370 works normally between 8-60V. For input voltages between 6-8V and high switch currents that require a fully enhanced MOSFET, it is recommended to use the bootstrap network D2R13 and remove R11.

The ADJ pin can also be driven with an external DC voltage >=125mV and <= 2.5V to adjust the LED current to >= 10% and <=200% of the nominal value. To do this, remove R3, fit R5 and apply an external DC voltage between ‘ADJIN’ and ‘GND’ The voltage VADJ can be derived from a resistor-divider connected between ‘REF’ and ‘GND’. ‘ADJ’ has high impedance within its normal operating voltage range. An internal 2.6V clamp protects the device against excessive input voltage and limits the maximum output current to approximately 4% above the maximum current set by ‘VADJ‘ if the maximum input voltage is exceeded. PWM Terminal (PWM output current control/dimming) The LED current can be adjusted digitally, by applying a low frequency PWM logic signal to the ‘PWM’ pin to turn the controller on and off. This will produce an average output current proportional to the duty cycle of the control signal. During PWM operation, the device remains powered up and only the output switch is switched by the control signal. The device can be shut down by taking the PWM pin to < 0.4V with a short to 0V or suitable open collector NPN, or open drain NMOS transistor, for >15ms. In the shutdown state, most of the circuitry inside the device is off and the quiescent current will be typically 90µA. TADJ Terminal (Thermal control of LED current) The ‘Thermal control’ circuit monitors the voltage on the ‘TADJ’ pin and reduces the output current linearly if the voltage on ‘TADJ’ < 625mV. An NTC thermistor and resistor can be connected to set the voltage on the ‘TADJ’ pin = 625mV at the required threshold temperature. This will give 100% LED current below the threshold temperature and <100% above it as shown in the graph. The temperature threshold can be changed by adjusting the value of Rth and/or the thermistor to suit the LED used. On the ZXLD1370EV2, Rth is 1K3 (R4). In order to use thermal control, remove R8, fit R6, and fit a 10K NTC Negative Temperature Coefficient) type thermistor between ‘TADJ’ and ‘GND’. This will set the threshold temperature to ~ 90ºC. Thermal control by LED current reduction Fig. 4 Thermal control The Thermal Control feature can be disabled by connecting TADJ to REF through the jumper resistor R8.
