18V/1A High Brightness Constant Current LED Driver
Description
The chip is a constant current output floating buck switching converter designed to provide constant
current to high power LEDs with high efficiency. The device is ideal for architectural, industrial and ambient
lighting applications.
The chip delivers constant current within ±5% accuracy to a wide variety and number of series connected
LEDs. Output current is adjusted with an external current sensing resistor to drive high power LEDs in excess
of 1A. For improved accuracy and efficiency, the chip features dual-side hysteresis, and short propagation
delay. Additional features a dimming input to enable LED brightness control by Pulse Width Modulation
(PWM).
Additional features include a +5V regulated output with 10mA output current ability.

Applications Information
Output Current Setting
The LED average current is programmed using a resistor between VIN and CS, show as RSEN in the
typical application schematic. Use the following equation to calculate the value of this resistor:
RSEN =
VSEN
I LED
Where VSEN is 500mV typically, and ILED is the DC average LED current.
Switching Frequency
Although hysteretic control is a simple control method, the switching frequency depends on application
conditions and components. Use the following equation to determine the operating frequency:
f SW =
(VIN − n ⋅VLED ) ⋅ n ⋅ VLED ⋅ RSEN
VIN ⋅ ∆V ⋅ L
Where n is the number of LEDs, VLED is the forward voltage drop of 1 LED, and ∆V is 50mV.
Inductor Selection
The inductor value can be calculated from a known frequency by re-arranging the same equation:
L=
(VIN − n ⋅ VLED ) ⋅ n ⋅VLED ⋅ RSEN
VIN ⋅ ∆V ⋅ f SW
Diode Selection
The forward voltage of the diode should be as low as possible for better efficiency. A Schottky diode is a
good choice as long as the breakdown voltage is high enough to withstand the maximum operating voltage.
The forward current rating of the diode must be at least equal to the maximum LED current.
