2.1 Overview
The PA5711 is a high efficiency, low cost, off-line LED driver with multiple inputs for controlling the LED under various
environmental conditions. The PA5711 driver utilizes a high voltage process for a broad input voltage range. This flexibility allows
for wide range of operation from 11V to 480V DC. This enables the PA5711 to drive the applications such as decorative lighting,
signage and RGB back lighting.
The PA5711 in the buck topology (as shown above in Fig.2) is a common choice to use the controller in non isolated LED lighting.
The PA5711 can drive multiple LED’s in a string or in parallel. This set up provides a good efficiency and constant current drive
with minimal external components.
The LED’s can be dimmed using voltage 0-250mV on the LD pin or by a low frequency on the PWM.
To save energy by turning the LED’s off, the LED’s can also be controlled via external signals to MD, LS, and EN pins. The sense
resistor at CS controls the peak current thru the LED string.

2.2 LED DRIVER - THEORY OF OPERATION
2.2.2 Current Sense Resistor
The gates of PWM, EN, MD, and LD are enabled when they
are connected to the VDD pin. The LS must be connected
to GND. In such a configuration the LED current is solely
controlled by the CS resistor. Each positive edge of the
oscillator turns the Gate driver output high, turning on the
external MOSFET. This ramps the Inductor current and
increases the voltage drop across the CS resistor. When
this drop exceeds VCS, the gate driver output is low. This
turns off the MOSFET decaying the inductor current until the
next positive edge of the clock cycle.
The current threshold limit is set by comparing the voltage
developed across RCS to VCS, which is 280mV for the
PA5711.This default threshold level can be reduced
applying a voltage lower than VCS at the LD pin. The lower
of these two thresholds limits the peak current in the
inductor.
The peak LED current is set by the external sense resistor
connected from the CS pin to ground. The value of this
resistor is determined by the average LED current, the
inductor ripple current and the internal threshold voltage.
The inductor is selected to keep the inductor ripple current
less than 30% of the average LED current.The dissipation
across this resistor is given by the formula :
P = RCS* ILED
2
It is a safe practice to select the resistor with atleast twice
the power rating that is calculated.
Gate Driver Output
2.2.1 Voltage Regulator
The PA5711 has an internal voltage regulator that can
regulate 11V to 480V input voltage, with an appropriate
current limiting resistor at REXT, down to 5V. The VDD pin
needs to have a holding cap of 22µF to provide filtering
against bounces and a 0.1µF to by pass any high frequency
switching noise. The PA5711 VDD pin can supply 1mA for
external circuitry.
Voltage across RCS
The internal voltage regulator can be bypassed by providing
a voltage higher than internal VDD. This feature reduces the
power dissipation and can be implemented in an application
where an auxiliary supply can power to the PA5711.
2.2.3 Current Sense Blanking
The total input current from the VIN supply is a sum of the
quiescent current of the PA5711, which is about 1.87mA
and the gate driver current. The gate driver current is
dependent on the gate charge of the external MOSFET and
switching frequency.
The PA5711 has no internal current sense blanking circuit.
This allows the user to choose and introduce the right time
delay that fits the application. The user can add a RC delay
network on the CS path i.e. between the RCS and the CS
pin. A time delay approximation can be made using :
This input current approximation can be done by using the
following equation:
Figure 3. PA5711 Waveforms
 = 5*R*C
Where R and C are the delay elements
IIN ≈ 1.87mA + (QGATE * fs)
Where QGATE is the total gate charge of the External
MOSFET.

2.2.4 Enable / Disable
The Enable pin (EN) of the PA5711 is active high. If this pin
is grounded then the Driver is disabled and chip will
consume minimal current. The Gate driver is disabled and
the LED’s cannot be driven during this period. For normal
operation the Enable pin must be connected high.

2.2.5 Linear Dimming
input is driven low the LED’s are turned off.
The PA5711 comes with a linear dimming function which is
one of the four different ways the LED can be controlled.
While VCS is the maximum threshold against which the
current sense resistor voltage drop is compared against, the
LD pin can be used to reduce this threshold. An external
resistive divider setup will allow the user to adjust the LED
light intensity.
2.2.7 Light sense
The PA5711 has a Light sense input to accept signal from
an external light sensor. The LED’s are turned on/off
dependent on the signal from the Light sensors. This pin
must be connected to ground if not used.
2.2.8 Motion Detection
The RCS voltage drop is compared against the lower of
these two voltages. Hence decreasing the voltage provided
at LD below 250mV would reduce the intensity of the LED
light. This allows the user to choose from available resistors
rather than calculating the resistor value in accordance with
the internal threshold.
The PA5711 has a motion detection input. An external
motion detector can drive this pin to turn the LED’s on/off.
This pin needs to be connected to VDD when not used.
Since a voltage lower than the internal threshold can enable
linear dimming it is advisable to connect LD to V DD when
linear dimming is not required.
The PA5711 can drive external MOSFETs with a gate
capacitance of up to 600pF.
A soft start function can be implemented on the PA5711 by
using RC network to slowly ramp the voltage applied to the
LD pin from GND potential to over 300mV, at which the VCS
overrides the Linear Dimming Function.

2.2.9 Gate Driver
2.2.10 Oscillator
The PA5711 operates at a constant frequency. The external
resistor Rosc determines the oscillator frequency. The
inductor size, total chip power dissipation and filter
capacitors are the basis on which the switching frequency is
decided.
The internal oscillator has a 20% frequency accuracy. In a
non-isolated mode the driver switching frequency is
between 30 kHz and 200kHz. This large operating range
gives the designer a reasonable compromise between
switching frequency and inductor size.
Figure 4. Soft-Start RC arrangement
The LD pin can also be used as a feed back to the chip,
especially in an isolated driver application, a feedback from
the isolated portion can be applied to the LD pin to achieve
greater control over the calculate current drive.
2.2.6 PWM dimming
Pulse Width Modulation dimming or PWM dimming can be
implemented on the PA5711 by using a low frequency
Square wave signal to drive the PWM pin. The square wave
frequency can be in the range of a few hundred hertz. In this
setup the PWM wave will be directly driving the output of the
Gate driver.
PWM signals can be generated using a Microcontroller or
Pulse generators. The duty cycle of the input PWM is
directly proportional to the intensity of LED light. If the PWM

2.2.11 Inductor design
The LED ripple current along with factors such as Maximum TON, Minimum input voltage and total forward voltage drop across
the LED’s (VF) at the desired average LED current decide the value of the inductor. The minimum voltage is dependent on the
specific application and the Maximum TON is determined by the duty cycle and the switching frequency.
The maximum duty cycle - Dmax is given by :
