NCV7680
Linear Current Regulator
and Controller for
Automotive LED Rear
Combination Lamps
The NCV7680 consists of eight linear programmable constant
current sources. The part is designed for use in the regulation and
control of LED based Rear Combination Lamps for automotive
applications. System design with the NCV7680 allows for two
brightness levels, one for stop and one for tail illumination, or optional
PWM control can also be implemented.
Discrete LED brightness levels are easily programmed (stop current
value, tail duty cycle value) optional external ballast FET allows for
power distribution on designs requiring high currents. Set back power
limit reduces the drive current during overvoltage conditions. This is
most useful for low current applications when no external FET is used.

NCV7680
DETAILED OPERATING DESCRIPTION
General
Setback Current Limit is employed during high voltage.
During a Setback Current Limit event, the drive current is
reduced resulting in lower power dissipation on the IC. This
occurs during high battery voltage (VP > 16 V). In this way
the NCV7680 can operate in extreme conditions and still
provide a controlled level of light output
The Overvoltage condition is reported on the DIAG Pin.
Reference Figures 19 and 20 for Power Limiting Behavior.
The NCV7680 consists of eight linear programmable
constant current sources. The part is designed for use in the
regulation and control of LED based Rear Combination
Lamps for automotive applications. System design with the
NCV7680 allows for two brightness levels; one for stop, and
one for tail illumination.
Brightness levels are easily programmed (stop current
absolute value, tail current duty cycle value) with two
external resistors.
The use of an external FET allows for power distribution
on designs requiring high currents. Additionally, set back
power limit reduces the drive current during overvoltage
conditions. Set back power limit is most useful for low
current applications when no external FET is used.
The NCV7680 offers all of the built in protection normal
to regulator systems, such as current limit, thermal limit, and
provides an open load diagnostic that coincides with the
STOP input signal.

Open String Reporting (DIAG)
Open string detection is reported on the DIAG pin as a
high with STOP Input high, or a combination of STOP Input
high and TAIL Input high. Reference Table 1 on page 5 for
more details. Open circuit is sensed on each of the 8 outputs.
The typical threshold voltage for detection is 0.4 V. Care
must be taken not to breach this voltage level under normal
operation , or a false open will be reported. Make sure worst
case system design focuses on the voltage level on top of the
LED string (top anode) (VSTRING) and includes the worst
case LED voltage drop while considering temperature
effects.

Quiescent Current Power
Further reduction in power to the NCV7680 can be
achieved by moving the VP pin connection to the drain of the
external FET. The contribution of power at the NCV7680
caused by the quiescent current into VP is lowered due to the
lower operating voltage of VP with the new connection.
Note also the addition of an external resistor Rsd in Figure
21. This will be required to insure startup of the system. A
value for Rsd should be chosen low enough to provide
current into VP and the current in the ILEDs & feedback string
under all required input voltage input conditions.
Input Voltage and Set Back Current
Automotive battery systems have wide variations in line
supply voltage. Low dropout is a key attribute for providing
consistent LED light output at low line voltage. Unlike
adjustable regulator based constant current source schemes
where the set point resistor resides in the load path, the
NCV7680’s set point resistor lies outside the LED load path,
and aids in the low dropout capability.

and RTAIL values. RSTOP should always be chosen first as the
stop current is only dependent on this value.
Alternatively, the equations below can be used to calculate
a typical value and used for worst case analysis.
Strings of LEDs are a common configuration for RCL
applications. The NCV7680 provides eight matched outputs
allowing individual string drive with current set by a single
resistor. Individual string drive is a benefit to ensure equal
current distribution amongst all of the strings. Output
currents are mirrored and matched within ±5% at hot
temperature.
A high STOP condition sets the output current using
equation 1 below.
A low STOP condition, modulates the output currents at
a duty cycle (DC) programmed using equation 2 below.
Note, current limiting on RSTOP limits the current which
can be referenced from the RSTOP Pin. Exceeding the
RSTOP Current Limit will reduce the output current and the
DIAG Pin will go high (reference Figure 18). This helps
limit output current (brightness and power) for this type of
fault.
The average ISTOP Duty Cycle current provides the
dimmed tail illumination function and assures a fixed
brightness level for tail. The PWM generator’s fixed
frequency (1 kHz typ.) oscillator allows flicker−free
illumination. PWM control is the preferred method for
dimming LEDs.
The diagnostic function allows the detection of an open in
any one of the output circuits. The active−low diagnostic
output (DIAG) is coincident with the STOP input. DIAG
remains high (pulled up) if an open load is detected in any
LED string when STOP is high.

(ground RTAIL when using external modulation)
Output Current is directly tested per the electrical
parameter table to be ±10% (with RSTOP = 3.09 kW) or
31.5 mA (min), 35 mA (typ), 38.5 mA (max) at room and hot
temperature.
Duty Cycle will vary according to the changes in RTAIL
Voltage and RTAIL Bias Current (generated form the current
through RSTOP).
Voltage errors encompass generator errors (0.4 V to 4.4 V)
and comparator errors and are included in testing as the Duty
Cycle. Typical duty cycle measurements are 5% with RTAIL
= 0.59 V and 70% with RTAIL = 3.29 V.
RTAIL Bias Current errors are measured as RTAIL Bias
Current and vary as 300 mA (min), 350 mA (typ), and 450 mA
(max) with RSTOP = 3.09 kW.
The error duality and choice of duty cycle levels make it
difficult to specify duty cycle minimum and maximum
limits, but worst case conditions can be calculated when
considering the variation in the voltage threshold and
current source. Duty Cycle variation must include the direct

Reduced Channel Operation
The previously shown applications (Figures 4 and 5)
show system operation using all 8 available channels of the
NCV7680. When less than 8 channels are used, the unused
OUTx pins can be grounded eliminating the unused OUTx
drive current. This is accomplished by voltage threshold
detection on OUTx (100 mV typ). A voltage less than
100 mV on OUTx turns the driver off, reducing quiescent
current to the IC. This also helps reduce system power by
eliminating the need for an external pullup resistor (from
OUTx to VP) while maintaining open circuit detection.
External pullup resistors may be used as an alternative.
Figure 22. Duty Cycle Generator Circuitry
Alternative Setup of Duty Cycle
Alternatively, the duty cycle can be controlled by
providing a voltage to the RTAIL pin as per Figure 13 (Duty
Cycle vs. V(RTAIL). Note the pull-up current source (Irstop)
is still present on the RTAIL pin due to current setting resistor
connected to RSTOP. For proper operation the system
designer needs to insure there is sufficient loading on the
RTAIL pin such that Irstop does not pull the referenced voltage
higher than its regulated state.
Adding LED’s to the String
Setting VSTRING
The NCV7680 can function as a standalone device or in
conjunction with additional support circuitry for more
complex systems. Figure 23 shows the NCV7680 operating
with a boost controller. This setup allows additional LEDs
in a string to be increased. Eight are shown in the diagram.
Consideration of the 45 V maximum limit on the OUTx Pin
is the limitation of this configuration. The DC on voltage
level on OUTx must also be considered for thermal reasons.
VSTRING should be set to a level to allow proper operation
of the IC without detecting an open circuit (0.5 V max on
OUTx) and to keep power to the IC at reduced levels below
the 150°C max die temperature thermal limit (die
temperature will depend on printed circuit board
composition, PCB size, thermal via number and placement,
module component placement, and air flow).
Example:
VSTRING is set using resistors R6 and R7 (reference
Figure 4).

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI)
One of the key contributors to electromagnetic
interference is the rise and fall times of the electrical signals.
This is a concern with both the initial startup of a device, and
the repeated turn on/off cycles of a device.
The NCV7680 employs current slew rate control. Each
output is rated at 6.0 mA/ms (typ). Slew rate control reduces
overshoot and allows for a predictable electrical signal. Slew
rate control is used in the stop mode for soft−start and in the
tail mode for low EMI operation.

Cross-Coupled LEDs
VSTRING
The setup in Figure 24 shows the LEDs set up in a
cross-coupled configuration connected to all the outputs of
the NCV7680 in parallel. This allows the user to maintain
illumination of all the remaining LEDs when one fails due
to an open circuit (the most common form of LED failure).
Comparatively, the standard setup shown in Figure 4 will
result in a full string turning off when one LED is open. Be
aware as LEDs fail as open circuits in the cross-coupled
arrangement will cause the row of LEDs to run at a higher
current level affected by the smaller number of LEDs in that
row.

Figure 27. PWM Operation (suggested LCD backlighting applications)
External PWM Operation
Tail Frequency Stabilization Time requires 2 pulses from
the internal oscillator. This is typically 2 ms (from the 1 kHz
oscillator.
Circuit limitations dictate the maximum output current
(IOUTX) to be 60 mA when operated at VP = 5 V. Part
capability increases up to the part maximum capability as VP
is increased.
Using the NCV7680 in a PWM setup requires RTAIL to be
grounded. Grounding RTAIL disables the internal PWM
circuitry. With RTAIL grounded, the STOP input pin can then
be modulated externally with a microprocessor using the
STOP logic input level thresholds.

Latch−Off on Open String Detection
the DIAG pin coupled with external discrete transistors
provides the feedback needed to the FB pin to turn off the
ballast transistor drive removing the LED anode string from
any power source. This condition is held until the input
signal is toggled.
Some LED lighting systems require the complete lighting
system to shut down when the output intensity has
diminished. This eliminates a slow degradation of output
illumination. Figure 28 provides one solution for this
requirement. The open circuit fault information provided on
