ACT6359
MOSFET. The over-voltage protection circuit detects this condition and switching ceases if the voltage at the OV pin reaches 1.21V.
Control Scheme
The ACT6359 uses a minimum off-time, currentmode control scheme to achieve excellent performance under high duty-cycle operating conditions.
This control scheme initiates a switching cycle only
when needed to maintain output voltage regulation,
resulting in very high efficiency operation.
To set the maximum output voltage, connect a resistor divider from the output node to G, with center
tap at OV, and select the two resistors with the following equation:
⎡⎛ V
⎞ ⎤
ROV 2 = ROV1 × ⎢⎜ OV ⎟ − 1⎥
⎣⎝ 1.21V ⎠ ⎦
During each switching cycle, the N-channel power
MOSFET turns on, increasing the inductor current.
The switching cycle terminates when either the inductor current reaches the current limit (500mA) or
when the cycle lasts longer than the maximum ontime of 4µs. Once the MOSFET turns off, it remains
off for at least the minimum off-time of 320ns, then
another switching begins when the error comparator detects that the output is falling out of regulation
again.
where VOV is the over voltage detection threshold,
ROV1 is the resistor between OV and G, and ROV2 is
the resistor from the output to the OV pin. As a first
estimate, the OV threshold can often be set to 4V
times the number of LEDs in the string.
Setting the LED Current
The LED current is programmed by appropriate
selection of the feedback resistor RFB connected
between FB and G. To set the LED current, choose
the resistor according to the equation:
Over Voltage Protection
The ACT6359 includes internal over-voltage protection circuitry that monitors the OV pin voltage.
Over-voltage protection is critical when one of the
LEDs in the LED string fails as an open circuit.
When this happens the feedback voltage drops to
zero, and the control switches at maximum on time
causing the output voltage to keep rising until it exceeds the maximum voltage rating of the power

where VFB is the FB feedback voltage (typically

Capacitor Selection
The ACT6359 requires only a tiny 0.47µF output
capacitor for most applications. For circuits driving 6
or fewer LEDs, a 4.7µF input capacitor is generally
suitable. For circuits driving more than 6 LEDs, a
10µF input capacitor may be required.
When choosing a larger inductor which results in
CCM operation, stability and ripple can be improved
by adding a small feed forward capacitor from OUT
to FB. About 3000pF is a good starting point for
most applications, although a larger value can be
used to achieve best results in applications with 6
or fewer LEDs.
Ceramic capacitors are recommended for most applications. For best performance, use X5R and X7R
type ceramic capacitors, which possess less degradation in capacitance over voltage and temperature.
Diode Selection
The ACT6359 requires a Schottky diode as the rectifier. Select a low forward voltage drop Schottky
diode with forward current (IF) rating that exceeds
the peak current limit (500mA) and a peak repetitive
reverse voltage (VRRM) rating that exceeds the maximum output voltage, typically set by the OV threshold.
Shutdown
The ACT6359 features a low-current shutdown
mode. In shutdown mode, the control circuitry is
disabled and the quiescent supply current drops to
less than 1µA. To disable the IC, simply drive EN to
a logic low. To enable the ICs, drive EN to a logic
high or connect it to the input supply.
Low Input Voltage Applications
In applications that have low input voltage range,
such as those powered from 2-3 AA cells, the
ACT6359 may still be used if there is a suitable system supply (such as 3.3V) available to power the
controller. In such an application, the inductor may
be connected directly to the battery, while the IC
power is supplied by the system supply.
