A 10mH/22mH inductor should be a good choice for most HT7939 applications. However, a more exact inductance value can be calculated. A good rule for choosing an inductor value is to allow the peak-to-peak ripple current to be approximately 30~50% of the maximum input current. Calculate the required inductance value using the following equation: VIN Under-Voltage Lockout - UVLO The device contains an Input Under Voltage Lockout (UVLO) circuit. The purpose of the UVLO circuit is to ensure that the input voltage is high enough for reliable operation. When the input voltage falls below the under voltage threshold, the internal FET switch is turned off. If the input voltage rises by the under voltage lockout hysteresis, the device will restart. The UVLO threshold is set below the minimum input voltage of 2.6V to avoid any transient VIN drops under the UVLO threshold and causing the converter to turn off. L = V Current Limit Protection I The device has a cycle-by-cycle current limit to protect the internal power MOSFET. If the inductor current reaches the current limit threshold, the MOSFET will be turned off. It is import to note that this current limit will not protect the output from excessive current during an output short circuit. If an output short circuit has occurred, excessive current can damage both the inductor and diode.

Over-Voltage Protection - OVP The device provides an over-voltage protection function. If the FB pin is shorted to ground or an LED is disconnected from the circuit, the FB pin voltage will fall to zero and the internal power MOSFET will switch with its full duty cycle. This may cause the output voltage to exceed its maximum voltage rating, possibly damaging the IC and external components. Internal over-voltage protection circuitry turns off the power MOSFET and shuts down the IC as soon as the output voltage exceeds the VOVP threshold. As a result, the output voltage falls to the level of the input supply voltage. The device remains in shutdown mode until the power is recycled. · Output Capacitor Selection The output capacitor determines the steady state output voltage ripple. The voltage ripple is related to the capacitor¢s capacitance and its ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance). A ceramic capacitor with a low ESR value will provide the lowest voltage ripple and are therefore recommended. Due to its low ESR, the capacitance value can be calculated by the equation: C Over-Temperature protection - OTP o u t = V (V O O U T - V ´ F IN S W ) ´ IO ´ V U T r ip p le In the equation above, Vripple =peak to peak output ripple, FSW is the switching frequency. A 1mF~10mF ceramic capacitor is suitable for most application. A thermal shutdown is implemented to prevent damages due to excessive heat and power dissipation. Typically the thermal shutdown threshold is 150°C. When the thermal shutdown is triggered the device stops switching until the temperature falls below typically 125°C. Then the device starts switching again. · Input Capacitor Selection An input capacitor is required to supply the ripple current to the inductor, while limiting noise at the input source. A low ESR ceramic capacitors is required to keep the noise at the IC to a minimum. A 4.7mF~10mF ceramic capacitor is suitable for most application. This capacitor must be connected very close to the VIN pin and inductor, with short traces for good noise performance. Application Information · Inductor Selection The selection of the inductor affects steady state operation as well as transient behavior and loop stability. There are three important electrical parameters which need to be considered when choosing an inductor: the value of inductor, DCR (copper wire resistance) and the saturation current. Rev 1.50 IN (M A X ) V 4 November 6, 2013 HT7939 Layout Considerations · Schottky Diode Selection The output rectifier diode conducts during the internal MOSFET is turn off. The average and peak current rating must be greater than the maximum output current and peak inductor current. The reverse breakdown voltage must be greater than the maximum output voltage. It is recommended to use a schottky diode with low forward voltage to minimize the power dissipation and therefore to maximize the efficiency of the converter. A 1N5819 type diode is recommended for HT7939 applications. Circuit board layout is a very important consideration for switching regulators if they are to function properly. Poor circuit layout may result in related noise problems. In order to minimize EMI and switching noise, please follow the guidelines below: · All tracks should be as wide as possible. · The input and output capacitors, C1 and C2, should be placed close to the VIN, VO and GND pins. · The Schottky diode, D1, and inductor, L, must be placed close to the SW pin. · LED Current Selection · Feedback resistor, Rfb, must be placed close to the The LED current is controlled by the current sense feedback resistor Rfb, The current sense feedback reference voltage is 200mV. In order to have accurate LED currents, precision resistors are the preferred type with a 1% tolerance. The LED current can be calculated from the following formula. I L E D = V R F B fb = FB and GND pins. · A full ground plane is always helpful for better EMI performance. A recommended PCB layout with component locations is shown below. 2 0 0 m V R fb Where ILED is the total output LED current, VFB=feedback voltage, Rfb=current sense resistor. · Digital and Analog Dimming Control The LED illumination level can be controlled using both digital and analog methods. The digital method uses a PWM signal applied to the EN pin. This is shown in figure 13. The average LED current increases proportionally with the PWM signal duty cycle. A 0% duty cycle corresponds to zero LED current. A 100% duty cycle corresponds to full LED current. The PWM signal frequency should be set below 1kHz due to the delay time of device startup. There are two methods of analog LED brightness control. The first method uses a DC voltage to control the feedback voltage. If the DC voltage range is from 0V to 3.3V, the selection of resistors control the LED current from 20mA to 0mA as shown in figure14. The other way is to use a filtered PWM signal, as shown in figure15. The filtered PWM signal application acts in the same way as the DC voltage dimming control.
