ZXLD1366 Document number: DS31992 Rev. 8 - 2 4 of 30 www.diodes.com October 2013 © Diodes Incorporated A Product Line of Diodes Incorporated ZXLD1366 Device Description The device, in conjunction with the coil (L1) and current sense resistor (RS), forms a self-oscillating continuous-mode buck converter. Device Operation (refer to Figure 1 - Block diagram and Figure 2 Operating waveforms). VIN LX voltage 0V Toff Ton VIN 230mV 170mV 200mV SENSE voltage VSENSEVSENSE+ IOUTnom +15% IOUTnom Coil current IOUTnom -15% 0V Comparator input voltage 0.15VADJ VADJ 0.15VADJ Comparator output 5V 0V Figure 2 Theoretical Operating Waveforms Operation can be best understood by assuming that the ADJ pin of the device is unconnected and the voltage on this pin (VADJ) appears directly at the (+) input of the comparator. When input voltage VIN is first applied, the initial current in L1 and RS is zero and there is no output from the current sense circuit. Under this condition, the (-) input to the comparator is at ground and its output is high. This turns MN on and switches the LX pin low, causing current to flow from VIN to ground, via RS, L1 and the LED(s). The current rises at a rate determined by VIN and L1 to produce a voltage ramp (VSENSE) across RS. The supply referred voltage VSENSE is forced across internal resistor R1 by the current sense circuit and produces a proportional current in internal resistors R2 and R3. This produces a ground referred rising voltage at the (-) input of the comparator. When this reaches the threshold voltage (VADJ), the comparator output switches low and MN turns off. The comparator output also drives another NMOS switch, which bypasses internal resistor R3 to provide a controlled amount of hysteresis. The hysteresis is set by R3 to be nominally 15% of VADJ. When MN is off, the current in L1 continues to flow via D1 and the LED(s) back to VIN. The current decays at a rate determined by the LED(s) and diode forward voltages to produce a falling voltage at the input of the comparator. When this voltage returns to VADJ, the comparator output switches high again. This cycle of events repeats, with the comparator input ramping between limits of VADJ ± 15%. Switching Thresholds With VADJ = VREF, the ratios of R1, R2 and R3 define an average VSENSE switching threshold of 200mV (measured on the ISENSE pin with respect to VIN). The average output current IOUTnom is then defined by this voltage and RS according to: IOUTnom = 200mV/RS Nominal ripple current is ±30mV/RS ZXLD1366 Document number: DS31992 Rev. 8 - 2 5 of 30 www.diodes.com October 2013 © Diodes Incorporated A Product Line of Diodes Incorporated ZXLD1366 Device Description (cont.) Actual operating waveforms VIN = 15V, RS = 0.2Ω, L = 68µH Normal operation. Output Current (Ch 3) and LX voltage (Ch 2) VIN = 30V, RS = 0.2Ω, L = 68µH Normal operation. Output Current (Ch 3) and LX voltage (Ch 2) VIN = 60V, RS = 0.2Ω, L = 68µH Normal operation. Output Current (Ch 3) and LX voltage (Ch 2) Adjusting Output Current The device contains a low pass filter between the ADJ pin and the threshold comparator and an internal current limiting resistor (50kΩ nom) between ADJ and the internal reference voltage. This allows the ADJ pin to be overdriven with either DC or pulse signals to change the VSENSE switching threshold and adjust the output current. Details of the different modes of adjusting output current are given in the applications section. Output Shutdown The output of the low pass filter drives the shutdown circuit. When the input voltage to this circuit falls below the threshold (0.2V nom.), the internal regulator and the output switch are turned off. The voltage reference remains powered during shutdown to provide the bias current for the shutdown circuit. Quiescent supply current during shutdown is nominally 60μA and switch leakage is below 5μA.

Note that RS = 0.2Ω is the minimum allowed value of sense resistor under these conditions to maintain switch current below the specified maximum value. It is possible to use different values of RS if the ADJ pin is driven from an external voltage. (See next section). Output Current Adjustment by External DC Control Voltage The ADJ pin can be driven by an external dc voltage (VADJ), as shown, to adjust the output current to a value above or below the nominal average value defined by RS. ZXLD1366 ADJ + GND DC GND The nominal average output current in this case is given by: IOUTdc = (VADJ /1.25) x (0.2/RS) for 0.3< VADJ <2.5V Note that 100% brightness setting corresponds to VADJ = VREF. When driving the ADJ pin above 1.25V, RS must be increased in proportion to prevent IOUTdc exceeding 1A maximum. The input impedance of the ADJ pin is 50kΩ ±25% for voltages below VREF and 14.2kΩ ±25% for voltages above VREF +100mV. Output Current Adjustment by PWM Control Directly Driving ADJ Input A Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) signal with duty cycle DPWM can be applied to the ADJ pin, as shown below, to adjust the output current to a value above or below the nominal average value set by resistor RS: PWM VADJ ADJ 0V ZXLD1366 GND GND ZXLD1366 Document number: DS31992 Rev. 8 - 2 17 of 30 www.diodes.com October 2013 © Diodes Incorporated A Product Line of Diodes Incorporated ZXLD1366 Application Information (cont.) Driving the ADJ Input via Open Collector Transistor The recommended method of driving the ADJ pin and controlling the amplitude of the PWM waveform is to use a small NPN switching transistor as shown below: ADJ PWM ZXLD1366 GND GND This scheme uses the 50k resistor between the ADJ pin and the internal voltage reference as a pull-up resistor for the external transistor. Driving the ADJ Input from a Microcontroller Another possibility is to drive the device from the open drain output of a microcontroller. The diagram below shows one method of doing this: MCU 3.3k ADJ ZXLD1366 GND If the NMOS transistor within the microcontroller has high Gate / Drain capacitance, this arrangement can inject a negative spike into ADJ input of the ZXLD1366 and cause erratic operation but the addition of a Schottky clamp diode (eg Diodes Inc. SD103CWS) to ground and inclusion of a series resistor (3.3k) will prevent this. See the section on PWM dimming for more details of the various modes of control using high frequency and low frequency PWM signals. Shutdown Mode Taking the ADJ pin to a voltage below 0.2V for more than approximately 100μs will turn off the output and supply current to a low standby level of 65μA nominal. Note that the ADJ pin is not a logic input. Taking the ADJ pin to a voltage above VREF will increase output current above the 100% nominal average value. (See page 18 graphs for details).

Soft-Start An external capacitor from the ADJ pin to ground will provide a soft-start delay, by increasing the time taken for the voltage on this pin to rise to the turn-on threshold and by slowing down the rate of rise of the control voltage at the input of the comparator. Adding capacitance increases this delay by approximately 0.2ms/nF.

VIN Capacitor Selection A low ESR capacitor should be used for input decoupling, as the ESR of this capacitor appears in series with the supply source impedance and lowers overall efficiency. This capacitor has to supply the relatively high peak current to the coil and smooth the current ripple on the input supply. To avoid transients into the IC, the size of the input capacitor will depend on the VIN voltage: VIN = 6 to 40V CIN = 2.2μF VIN = 40 to 50V CIN = 4.7μF VIN = 50 to 60V CIN = 10μF When the input voltage is close to the output voltage the input current increases which puts more demand on the input capacitor. The minimum value of 2.2μF may need to be increased to 4.7μF; higher values will improve performance at lower input voltages, especially when the source impedance is high. The input capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the IC. For maximum stability over temperature and voltage, capacitors with X7R, X5R, or better dielectric is recommended. Capacitors with Y5V dielectric are not suitable for decoupling in this application and should NOT be used. When higher voltages are used with the CIN = 10μF, an electrolytic capacitor can be used provided that a suitable 1µF ceramic capacitor is also used and positioned as close to the VIN pin as possible. A suitable capacitor would be NACEW100M1006.3x8TR13F (NIC Components). The following web sites are useful when finding alternatives: www.murata.com www.niccomp.com www.kemet.com Inductor Selection Recommended inductor values for the ZXLD1366 are in the range 68μH to 220μH. Higher values of inductance are recommended at higher supply voltages in order to minimize errors due to switching delays, which result in increased ripple and lower efficiency. Higher values of inductance also result in a smaller change in output current over the supply voltage range. (see graphs pages 10-17). The inductor should be mounted as close to the device as possible with low resistance connections to the LX and VIN pins. The chosen coil should have a saturation current higher than the peak output current and a continuous current rating above the required mean output current. Suitable coils for use with the ZXLD1366 may be selected from the MSS range manufactured by Coilcraft, or the NPIS range manufactured by NIC components. The following websites may be useful in finding suitable components. www.coilcraft.com www.niccomp.com www.wuerth-elektronik.de The inductor value should be chosen to maintain operating duty cycle and switch 'on'/'off' times within the specified limits over the supply voltage and load current range. The graph Figure 3 below can be used to select a recommended inductor based on maintaining the ZXLD1366 case temperature below +60°C.

They also provide better efficiency than silicon diodes, due to a combination of lower forward voltage and reduced recovery time. It is important to select parts with a peak current rating above the peak coil current and a continuous current rating higher than the maximum output load current. It is very important to consider the reverse leakage of the diode when operating above +85°C. Excess leakage will increase the power dissipation in the device and if close to the load may create a thermal runaway condition. The higher forward voltage and overshoot due to reverse recovery time in silicon diodes will increase the peak voltage on the LX output. If a silicon diode is used, care should be taken to ensure that the total voltage appearing on the LX pin including supply ripple, does not exceed the specified maximum value. *A suitable Schottky diode would be B3100 (Diodes Inc).

Reducing Output Ripple Peak to peak ripple current in the LED(s) can be reduced, if required, by shunting a capacitor Cled across the LED(s) as shown below: D1 VIN Rs LED Cled L1 VIN ISENSE LX ZXLD1366 Figure 6 Reduced Output Ripple A value of 1µF will reduce the supply ripple current by a factor three (approx.). Proportionally lower ripple can be achieved with higher capacitor values. Note that the capacitor will not affect operating frequency or efficiency, but it will increase start-up delay, by reducing the rate of rise of LED voltage. By adding this capacitor the current waveform through the LED(s) changes from a triangular ramp to a more sinusoidal version without altering the mean current value. Operation at Low Supply Voltage Below the under-voltage lockout threshold (VSD) the drive to the output transistor is turned off to prevent device operation with excessive onresistance of the output transistor. The output transistor is not full enhanced until the supply voltage exceeds approximately 17V. At supply voltages between VSD and 17V care must be taken to avoid excessive power dissipation due to the on-resistance. Note that when driving loads of two or more LEDs, the forward drop will normally be sufficient to prevent the device from switching below approximately 6V. This will minimize the risk of damage to the device.

Thermal Considerations When operating the device at high ambient temperatures, or when driving maximum load current, care must be taken to avoid exceeding the 2 package power dissipation limits. The graph below gives details for power derating. This assumes the device to be mounted on a 25mm PCB with 1oz copper standing in still air. POWER DISSIPATION (W) 2.5 2.0 SO-8EP U-DFN3030-6 1.5 1.0 TSOT25 0.5 0 -40 -25 -10 5 20 35 50 65 80 -5 110 125 AMBIENT TEMPERATURE (°C) Maximum Power Dissipation Note that the device power dissipation will most often be a maximum at minimum supply voltage. It will also increase if the efficiency of the circuit is low. This may result from the use of unsuitable coils, or excessive parasitic output capacitance on the switch output. In order to maximize the thermal capabilities of the DFN3030-6 and the SO-8EP packages thermal vias should be incorporated into the PCB. See figures 7 and 8 for examples used in the ZXLD1366 evaluation boards. Figure 7 Suggested Layout for U-DFN3030-6 Package ZXLD1366 Document number: DS31992 Rev. 8 - 2 24 of 30 www.diodes.com October 2013 © Diodes Incorporated A Product Line of Diodes Incorporated ZXLD1366 Application Information (cont.) Figure 8 Suggested Layout for SO-8EP Package Vias ensure an effective path to the ground plane for the heat flow therefore reducing the thermal impedance between junction and ambient temperature. Diodes came to the conclusion that the compromise is reached by using more than 10 vias with 1mm of diameter and 0.5 hole size. Finally the same scheme in Figure 7 (without the exposed paddle) can be usde for the TSOT25 package guaranteeing an effective thermal path. Thermal Compensation of Output Current High luminance LEDs often need to be supplied with a temperature compensated current in order to maintain stable and reliable operation at all drive levels. The LEDs are usually mounted remotely from the device so, for this reason, the temperature coefficients of the internal circuits for the ZXLD1366 have been optimized to minimize the change in output current when no compensation is employed. If output current compensation is required, it is possible to use an external temperature sensing network normally using Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) thermistors and/or diodes, mounted very close to the LED(s). The output of the sensing network can be used to drive the ADJ pin in order to reduce output current with increasing temperature. Layout Considerations LX Pin The LX pin of the device is a fast switching node, so PCB tracks should be kept as short as possible. To minimize ground 'bounce', the ground pin of the device should be soldered directly to the ground plane. Coil and Decoupling Capacitors and Current Sense Resistor It is particularly important to mount the coil and the input decoupling capacitor as close to the device pins as possible to minimize parasitic resistance and inductance, which will degrade efficiency. It is also important to minimize any track resistance in series with current sense resistor RS. Its best to connect VIN directly to one end of RS and ISENSE directly to the opposite end of RS with no other currents flowing in these tracks. It is important that the cathode current of the Schottky diode does not flow in a track between RS and VIN as this may give an apparent higher measure of current than is actual because of track resistance. ADJ Pin The ADJ pin is a high impedance input for voltages up to 1.35V so, when left floating, PCB tracks to this pin should be as short as possible to reduce noise pickup. A 100nF capacitor from the ADJ pin to ground will reduce frequency modulation of the output under these conditions. An additional series 3.3kΩ resistor can also be used when driving the ADJ pin from an external circuit (see next page). This resistor will provide filtering for low frequency noise and provide protection against high voltage transients.

The ADJ pin is soft-clamped for voltages above 1.35V to desensitize it to leakage that might raise the ADJ pin voltage and cause excessive output current. However, a ground ring placed around the ADJ pin is recommended to minimize changes in output current under these conditions. Evaluation PCB ZXLD1366 evaluation boards are available on request. Terminals allow users to interface the boards to their preferred LED products. Dimming Output Current Using PWM Low Frequency PWM Mode When the ADJ pin is driven with a low frequency PWM signal (eg 100Hz), with a high level voltage VADJ and a low level of zero, the output of the internal low pass filter will swing between 0V and VADJ, causing the input to the shutdown circuit to fall below its turn-off threshold (200mV nom) when the ADJ pin is low. This will cause the output current to be switched on and off at the PWM frequency, resulting in an average output current IOUTavg proportional to the PWM duty cycle. (See Figure 9 - Low frequency PWM operating waveforms). The average value of output current in this mode is given by: IOUTavg 0.2DPWM/RS [for DPWM >0.001] This mode is preferable if optimum LED 'whiteness' is required. It will also provide the widest possible dimming range (approx. 1000:1) and higher efficiency at the expense of greater output ripple.
