SN3157 High Efficiency 1X/1

IS31LT3948 MR16 DEMO Board Guide
Description
IS31LT3948 is a PFM step-up DC-DC converter
designed for driving the white LED arrays for large size
LCD panel backlighting applications. With internal OVP
circuit, the chip and the system can be safe even if the
load is not connected. The device features external
PWM dimming or DC dimming, which allows the
flexible control of the backlighting luminance.
IS31LT3948 incorporates a unique FB scheme which
automatically adjusts the integrated DC/DC converter
to the optimum output voltage for the system,
maximizing the efficiency.
IS31LT3948 general DEMO board is used in general
lamp.
Features





Wide input voltage range: 5V-100V
Constant Current Output limited only by external
component selection (Note)
No loop compensation required
Internal over-voltage protection
Internal over-temperature protection
Note: The maximum output current is determined by Vout/Vin
ratio as well as the external components. If output current and
Vout/Vin ratio is high, high current components of inductor
and NMOS are needed.


Input: 10-17VDC
Output: 7LEDs in series/333mA
Note: The input voltage must be lower than the output
voltage(total Vf).
Absolute Maximum Ratings


Input voltage ≤ 35VDC
Output voltage≤ 28VDC
Caution: Do not exceed the conditions listed above, otherwise
the board will be damaged or the output current will be
limited.

Detailed Description
Component Selection
The component selection is very important. They have
a significant effect on the operating state of the demo
board. The output capacitor must be a low ESR
capacitor so as to minimize it’s affect on the line
regulation and load regulation.
Please read the datasheet carefully to get more
information about the component selection.
PCB layout consideration
As for all switching power supplies, especially those
providing high current and using high switching
frequencies, layout is an important design step. If layout
is not carefully done, the regulator could show
instability as well as EMI problems.
• Wide traces should be used for connection of the
high current loop to minimize the EMI and
unnecessary loss.
• The external components ground should be
connected to IS31LT3948 ground as short as
possible. Especially theRcs and Rfb ground to

R1.0, 18/12/2012
IS31LT3948 ground connection should be as short
and wide as possible to have an accurate LED
current.
• The capacitor C1, C2, C3 should be placed as close
as possible to IS31LT3948 for good filtering.
Especially the output capacitor C3 connection should
be as short and wide as possible.
• NMOS drain is a fast switching node. The inductor
and Schottky diode should be placed as close as
possible to the drain and the connection should be
kept as short and wide as possible. Avoid other
traces crossing and routing too long in parallel with
this node to minimize the noise coupling into these
traces. The feedback pin (e.g. CS, FB, OVP) should
be as short as possible and routed away from the
inductor, the schottky diode and NMOS. The
feedback pin and feedback network should be
shielded with a ground plane or trace to minimize
noise coupling into this circuit.
The thermal pad on the back of NMOS package must
be soldered to the large ground plane for ideal power
dissipation.
