Opposite to the microcircuits with the peak current control the given microcircuit does not have errors, caused by the difference «peak current – average current». This substantially enhances accuracy and efficiency of trimming the LED current during alteration of the supply voltage or load without necessity to apply the compensation circuits. Supply of driver IL9961 may be provided from the DC voltage mains of 8 ~ 450 V or the AC mains rectifier of 85 ~ 265 V. Average value of output current may be programmed by selecting the various value of the current metering resistor by the internal (stabilized with the accuracy of ±3 %) reference voltage, equal to (272 ± 8) mV. It is possible to adjust the mean value of output current, presetting at the light power linear trimming input the voltage within the range of 0 ~ 1.5 V. The LED dimming adjustment is ensured by alteration of the off-duty signal at the input of the PWM-regulator. Information on Application Trimming by the peak current of the step-up converter (as in IL9910B) is the most economic and simple means of adjusting the output current. However, during such adjustment the problems emerge with the accuracy and stabilization of current due to occurrence of the errors, generated by the difference «peak current – mean current», which shows up as a result of the current pulsation in the output inductor and the signal propagation delay in the current reading comparator. It is also impossible to measure up the continuous signal of the inductor current relative to the ground in the volt-boosting converter as the power transistor is open only during the small time periods. Although it is sufficient to simply detect the peak current at the circuit transistor, trimming by means of the inductor mean current is usually tied to the current signals relative to voltage VIN. In IL9961 the appropriate control circuit is used, ensuring the rapid and a very fine trimming by the average current in the inductor by means of reading the transistor current only. No compensation current trimming circuit is required. Current pulsations in the inductor circuit do not have any significant influence on this control circuit, and therefore the LED current does not depend on variation of the inductance values, switch-over frequency and output voltage. Functioning in the mode of the fixed duration of the current off-state in the inductance coil is used for stabilization and efficiency enhancement of the of LED current trimming in the wide range of input voltages (opposite of IL9910, the microcircuits IL9961 does not support the operational mode at the constant frequency). The type output parameters of the LED driver IL9961 are indicated in Figure 5. For comparison reasons the corresponding parameters of IL9910 are also indicated. 8 2013 December, Ver. 00 IL9961 Figure 6 – LED Driver IL9961 typical output parameters Driver’s Operation Description ICs IL9961 make it possible to control all main types of the key volt-boosting converters, both with the insulated output and the non-insulated one. When the permitting signal arrives at the gate of the external MOSFET-transistor, the LED-driver starts to build up the internal energy on the inductance coil or the transformer’s primary winding, then the given energy, by various ways, depending on the type of the volt-boosting converter, arrives directly to LEDs. The energy, accumulated in the magnetic element, arrives in the output circuit within the time period of switching off the power MOSFET-transistor, presetting the current in the circuit of LEDs. With the input supply voltage applied, when the voltage at the pin VDD reaches the threshold value of the internal supply voltage of the low voltage part of the circuit UVLO, the voltage at the pin GATE rises, and the external MOSFET-transistor switches over to the open state. The value of output current is controlled by means of limiting by the external MOSFET-transistor the mean current of the inductance coil. The voltage, falling at the reading resistor, in a serial connection with the source of the external MOSFET-transistor, arrives at the input CS IC IL9961. When the given voltage reaches the threshold value of the comparator actuation, the voltage at the pin GATE remains unchanged during the time, equal to the enable time of GATE prior to actuation of the comparator. Thus the trimming is ensured by the current mean value. Then the external MOSFETtransistor switches over to the closed state. The threshold value of the comparator actuation is preset inside the circuit and constitutes 272 mV or can alter outside by means of applying voltage at the input LD. 2013 December, Ver. 00 IL9961 Input voltage control Supply for driver IL9961 may be realized directly from mains of voltage of direct current 8.0~450 V through pin VIN. When this voltage supplied on pin VIN integrated circuit forms direct voltage 7.5 V on pin VDD. To pin VDD there should be connected capacitor with small equivalent series resistance (ESR), in order to provide low resistance of bus for pulses of large current through GATE pin during integrated circuit operation. IC IL9961 also can be supplied directly through VDD pin with voltage larger than internally-regulated 7.5 V, but less than 12 V. Direct voltage supplied on VIN pin, is limited by dissipated power in the package. For example, in eight pin SO package at consumption in operating mode of current IIN = 2.5 mA through VIN pin, maximum direct voltage on VIN pin is calculated by formula (1) U IN T j Ta R . ja I IN 347 V , (1) where Tj = 150 – maximum operating temperature of chip, OC; Ta = 25 - ambient temperature, 0C; Rθ, ja = 148 - thermal resistance of chip - ambient, OC / Watt. In cases when integrated circuit should operate at higher voltage, sequentially to VIN pin can be connect resistor or Zener diode for removal of dissipated power from IC. In mentioned example, use of 100 V Zener diode allows the scheme to operate up to 447 V. Input current, consumed by integrated circuit through VIN pin is calculated by formula (2) I IN 1,0 мА QG f s , (2) where QG - capacity of gate of exterior transistor (from producer specification), pF; fs - switching frequency, Hz. LEDs Dimming Control The LEDs dimming control may be performed by two means, separately or in combination, depending on the application circuit. The LEDs dimming may be controlled either by means of the linear alteration of the current value via LEDs, or by switching on / off this current at its constant value. The second adjustment method (the so called MWM-attenuation) is based on LEDs dimming by means of altering the fill-up ratio of the output current pulses. The linear adjustment of LEDs dimming (linear attenuation) is performed by means of applying the voltage with the value from 0 to 1.5 V at the input LD. In this case the actuation threshold of the comparator, controlling the voltage at the pin CS, is preset equal to the value: VLD·0.18. It is in this way, that adjustment of the output current value takes place. The value of the controlled voltage at the pin CS can be altered by means of the variable resistor, included into the lower shoulder of the resistive voltage divider of the low voltage part of the circuit VDD and connected to the pin LD. Application of the voltage over 1.5 V at the input LD does not result in increase of the preset mean value of the output current. In order to obtain the current of the greater value it is necessary to select the reading resistor with the smaller nominal resistance. 10 2013 December, Ver. 00 IL9961 Input DC Voltage C1 22uF 450V D2 LEDs L1 U1 IL9961 1 6 VIN GATE VDD CS PWM RT 4 Q1 2 C2 2.2uF 5 8 R3 200kΩ 7 R4 50kΩ LD GND 3 R1 R2 C3 1uF IL9961 Linear Dimming Control Schematic PWM-attenuation is performed by means of application of the external PWM-signal at the pin PWMD. PWM-signal may be generated by the microcontroller or the pulse generator with the pulse fill-up ratio, proportionate to the LEDs dimming rate. This signal permits or denies the LEDs current modulation depending on the pulse shape. In this mode the current value through LEDs may be in one of two positions: zero or the current nominal value, preset by means of the reading resistor, connected to the source of the external MOSFET-transistor. Using the given method, it is impossible to attain the LEDs’ brightness over the value, which is limited by the internally preset threshold of the comparator actuation. When using the PWM-attenuation in operation of IC IL9961, LEDs’ brightness is adjusted from 0 to 100 %. Accuracy of the PWM-attenuation method is limited only by the minimum pulse duration, arriving at the gate of the external MOSFETtransistor, which constitutes fractions of percent from the fill-up ratio of the PWM-signal pulses. 2013 December, Ver. 00 IL9961 Package Dimensions N SUFFIX PLASTIC DIP (MS – 001BA) A Dimension, mm 5 8 B 1 4 F Symbol MIN MAX A 8.51 10.16 B 6.1 7.11 C L C 5.33 D 0.36 0.56 F 1.14 1.78 -T- SEATING PLANE N G M K 0.25 (0.010) M J H D T NOTES: 1.
