DESCRIPTION
The STLC1, a device realized with the well
established BCD technology, is a fixed frequency
fully monolithic SMPS, with three independent
smart low side driver, primarily intended for
automotive rear led lamps driving.
The output voltage is set using a simple resistor
divider. Thermal shutdown with hysteresis, input
over-voltage and overcurrent protections give
robust design solutions.

Note 1: The device is powered. If only one of the three inputs is enabled (the remaining inputs are shorted to ground), tSMPS-ON is the time
required for the OUT voltage to reach the10% of its own steady state value
Note 2: The device is powered. If only one of the three inputs is brought high (the remaining inputs are shorted to ground), TLSD-ON is the
time required for the current to flow in the enabled LSD
Note 3: The device is powered and at least one input is enabled. If this input is disabled, T LSD-OFF is the time required for the current to become zero in the previously enabled LSD.
Note 4: Guaranteed by design, not tested in production.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
SMPS
The N-channel Power MOSFET is source
grounded, thus it is possible to use any converter
configuration with the power switch connected to
ground. A SEPIC topology (Single Ended Primary
Inductor Current) is shown in the typical
application schematic.
INPUTS PINS
The IC’s inputs are TURN, STOP and TAIL. If all
inputs are disabled, SMPS and most of the
6/16
internal control and diagnostic circuitry are not
active. This is done in order to maintain the
stand-by quiescent current at very low values.
When only one of these inputs is put high (e.g
connected to VB+), a device start-up phase
begins. First the CREF capacitor is charged and,
once the voltage on it has reached about 95% of
its steady state value (VREF), the SMPS is
enabled. In order to allow the output to reach the
regulated voltage value faster, the LSD
corresponding to the input enabled will conduct
STLC1
only when the OUT voltage is about 95% of its
final value. Such a start-up phase takes place
when only one input is enabled.
LOW SIDE DRIVER:
The purpose of the low side drivers is to connect
the LED cluster to ground, creating a path for the
current. Using external resistors, current flowing
into the LED cluster is set according to the
following formula:
V OUT – V ARRAY
I ARRAY = ---------------------------------------------R T + R L + R ( on )
where (see typical application schematic):
RL = R LT, RLS, or RLR
RT = R TT, RTS, or RTR
R(on) = Static drain to source LSD on resistance
VOUT = Output Voltage
VARRAY = Expected LED array voltage drop.
LSD over-current protection and under-current
diagnostic (see LAMP OUTAGE DETECTION
section) is performed by sensing the voltage on
resistors, when the corresponding LSD are
enabled.
If the voltage on
exceeds VH-SHORT, the
over-current protection acts by reducing the LSD
average current by switching ON and OFF the
LSD itself.
LAMP OUTAGE DETECTION
Resistors are used to sense the LED array
current. In case one or more LEDs fail (open
circuit) the current on the corresponding resistor
will drop due to the increased LED array
resistance. As soon as the voltage drop on is
lower than VLOUT, a LED lamp fault condition is
detected and the LMP-OUT pin becomes active
(low). The LAMP-OUTAGE functionality is
AND-ed with each input, that is a fault condition
can be detected only when the LED arrays are
enabled.
DIMMING
The dimming of the LED lamps can be obtained by
using the internal PULSE WIDTH controller (it
drives the LSD TAIL and STOP gates). The duty
cycle of this internal oscillator (whose frequency is
380Hz typical) can be set, forcing the voltage of
the CNTL pin to be a fraction of VREF, by using a
simple resistor divider (as shown in the typical
application scheme).
In this case the duty cycle percentage can be
calculated with the following approximated
formula:
DC% ≅
R C1
0.2
 3.8 if ---------------------------- ≤ -------------- 
R C1 + R C2 V REF 



R C1
 ---------------------------• 100 Elsewhere
R

C1 + R C2
The TS-PWM pin voltage, according to the
TABLE1 determines which LSD is PULSE WIDTH
CONTROLLER driven. Internal dimming can only
be performed on the TAIL and STOP arrays. The
TURN array can be externally dimmed (as well as
TAIL and STOP) by driving the corresponding
input witha a square pulse signal whose maximum
frequency must be 200Hz.
