The output voltage of the step-up converter can be set from Vin to 30V with external sense resistor. The device suits to drive series-connected LEDs and provides even illumination by sourcing the same output current through each LED. KB4317 also consists of a logic shutdown , cycle-by-cycle current-limited , soft-start functions. Logic control input or PWM duty cycle control allows easy adjustment of LEDs brightness and on/off control. The average LED current is proportionable the duty-cycle of the PWM signal. Typical PWM frequency should be between 100Hz and 1kHz. The boost converter operates in current-mode PWM and a constant frequency of 1.2 MHz. Depending on duty cycle of each switching cycle can regulate output voltage. On the rising edge of the internal clock , the control and driver logic block sets internal flip-flop when the output voltage is too low, which turns on the N-MOS. The external inductor current ramps up linearly, storing energy in a magnetic filed. Once peak current of inductor over trans-conductance output level , the N-MOS turns off, the flip-flop resets, and external schottky diode turns on. This forces the current through the inductor to ramp back down, transferring the energy stored in the magnetic field to the output capacitor and LEDs. To reduce external component amount , the device will be built-in internal loop compensation. ʳ Enable Control Digital logic of EN provides an electrical ON/OFF control of the power supply. Connecting this pin to ground or to any voltage less than 0.4V and sustain the level over 4ms will completely turn off the regulator. In this state, current drain from the input supply is less than 1uA, the internal reference, error amplifier, comparators, and biasing circuitry turn off . If holding time of low level is less than 3ms on this pin, then the device only shutdown driver logic block. ʳ Dimming Control Digital logic of EN also provides LEDs brightness control by applying a PWM signal on EN pin. With this way, the LEDs operate with either zero or full current . The average LED current is proportional to the duty-cycle of the PWM signal. Typical PWM frequency should be between 100Hz and 1kHz. Output current is given by: I LED 250mV u TON PWM ʳ RSENSE u TS PWM Where: TON-PWM : On time of PWM signal TS-PWM : A cycle time of PWM signal If dimming control is not required , EN works as a simple on/off control. Drive EN high to enable the device , or drive EN low for shutdown. ʳ REV: 1.0 6 KB4317 Kingbor Technology Co.,Ltd TEL:(86)0755-26508846 FAX:(86)0755-26509052 High Efficiency, Constant Current 2 Watt Boost White-LED Driver Soft-Start Soft-start allows a gradual increase of the internal current-limit level for the step-up converter during power-up to reduce input surge currents. As the internal current source charges the internal soft-start capacitor, the peak N-MOS current is limited by the voltage on the capacitor. In another story, when toggle or a logic-level transition on EN pin from low to high, soft-start function must work to enable constant current charging internal capacitor. When soft-start process has finished or appeared falling edge of PWM signal on EN pin , soft-start capacitor must be discharged to ground level. Cycle-by-Cycle Over-Current Protection The KB4317 provides cycle-by-cycle over-current protection. Current limit is accomplished using a separate dedicated comparator. The cycle-by-cycle current limit abbreviates the on-time of the N-MOS in event that the current of flowing N-MOS is greater than the current limit value. The current-limit feature protection against a hard short or over-current fault at the output. Over-Voltage Protection If VOUT is above 22V or LEDs are disconnected from the circuit, the FB pin is similar to pull down to ground with a sense resistor. This will cause N-MOS to switch with a maximum duty cycle and come out output over-voltage. This may cause the LX pin voltage to exceed its maximum voltage rating to damage built-in N-MOS. In the state, the OVLO protection circuitry stops the internal N-MOS . When VOUT falls below 22V, IC will automatically recover normal operation. Power dissipation consideration The KB4317 maximum power dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of the IC package and circuit board, the temperature difference between the die junction and ambient air, and the rate of any airflow. The power dissipation in the device depends on the operating conditions of the regulator. The step-up converter dissipates power across the internal N-MOS as the controller ramps up the inductor current. In continuous condition, the power dissipated internally can be approximated by : Pboost [( I O u VO 2 1 Vin u D 2 ) ] u RDS (ON ) u D ) ( Vin 12 f OSC u L where IO : It is the load current. fOSC : It is a switching frequency.

It need to follow regulation by the output voltage and the maximum load current, as well as maximum and minimum input voltages. Begin by selecting an inductor value. Once L is know, choose the diode and capacitors. Boost inductor Inductor selection depends on input voltage, output voltage, maximum current , switching frequency and availability of inductor values. The following boost circuit equations are useful in choosing the inductor values based on the application. They allow the trading of peak current and inductor value while allowing for consideration of component availability and cost. The peak inductor current is given by: I Lpeak I LAVG I LAVG IO 1 D 'I L 2 where: ϦIL is the inductor peak-to-peak current ripple and is decided by: 'I L Vin D u L f OSC D is the MOSFET turn on ratio and is decided by: D VO V in VO fOSC is the switching frequency. The inductor should be chosen to be able to handle this current and inductor saturation current rating should be greater than IPEAK. Diode selection The output diode has average current of IO, and peak current the same as the inductor’s peak current and a voltage rating at least 1.5 times the output voltage. Schottky diode is recommended and it should be able to handle those current. Output Capacitor The KB4317 is specially compensated to be stable with capacitors which have a worst- case minimum value of 1uF at the particular VOUT being set. Output ripple voltage requirements also determine the minimum value and type of capacitors. Output ripple voltage consists of two components the voltage drop caused by the switching current through the ESR of the output capacitor and the charging and discharging of the output capacitor: V RIPPLE I LPEAK u ESR VO Vin IO u VO C OUT u f OSC For low ESR ceramic capacitors, the output ripple is dominated by the charging or discharging of the output capacitor.
