But there is an offset in error amplifier which will cause the VA variation. In low PWM duty signal situation, the filtered reference voltage is low and the offset can cause bigger variation of the output current. So the LP3390 is not recommend to be dimming by the EN pin. For the LP3390, the Dimming Control a. Using a PWM Signal to EN Pin For the brightness dimming control of the LP3390, minimum duty vs frequency is listed in following table: the IC provides typically 200mV feedback voltage when the EN pin is pulled constantly high. However, EN pin allows a PWM signal to reduce this regulation voltage by changing the PWM duty cycle to achieve LED brightness dimming control. The relationship between the duty cycle and FB voltage can be calculated as following equation: VFB = Duty x 200mV b. Using a DC Voltage Using a variable DC voltage to adjust the brightness is a popular method in some applications. The Where dimming control using a DC voltage circuit. The Duty = duty cycle of the PWM signal 200mV = internal reference voltage output voltage can be calculated by the following The duty cycle of the PWM signal is used to cut the Equations. internal 200mV reference voltage. An internal low pass filter is used to filter the pulse signal. And then the reference voltage can be made by connecting the output of the filter to the error amplifier for the FB pin c. Using a Filtered PWM signal voltage regulation. However, the internal low pass filter 3db frequency is 500Hz. When the dimming frequency is lower then 500Hz, VA is also a PWM signal and the LED current is controlled directly by this signal. When the frequency is higher than 500Hz, PWM is filtered by the internal low pass filter and the VA approach a DC signal. And the LED current is a DC current which elimate the audio noise. Two figures of PWM LP3390 Version 1.0 Datasheet NOV.-2013 Another common application is using a filtered PWM signal as an adjustable DC voltage for LED dimming control. A filtered PWM signal acts as the DC voltage to regulate the output current. In this circuit, the output ripple depends on the frequency of PWM signal. For smaller output voltage ripple (<100mV), the recommended frequency of 2.8V PWM signal should be above 2kHz. To fix the frequency of PWM signal and change the duty cycle of PWM signal can www.lowpowersemi.com Page 5 of 8 Preliminary LP3390 Datasheet get different output current. The LED current can be switching and the power N-MOSFET will be turned calculated by the following equation. off. Then, the VOUT will be clamped to be near VOVP. As the output voltage is higher than a specified value or input voltage is lower than a specified value, the chip will enter protection mode to prevent abnormal function. As the die temperature is higher then 160°C, the chip also will enter protection mode. The power MOSFET will be turned off during protection mode to prevent abnormal operation. Constant Output Voltage Control Thermal Considerations The output voltage of the LP3390 can be adjusted by For continuous operation, do not exceed absolute the divider circuit on the FB pin. The output voltage maximum can be calculated by the following Equations. maximum power dissipation depends on the thermal operation junction temperature. The resistance of IC package, PCB layout, the rate of surroundings airflow and temperature difference Power Sequence between junction to ambient. The maximum power In order to assure the normal soft start function for dissipation can be calculated by following formula : suppressing the inrush current the input voltage should be ready before EN pulls high. Where TJ(MAX) is the maximum operation junction Soft-Start The function of soft-start is made for suppressing the inrush current to an acceptable value at the beginning of power on. The LP3390 provides a built-in soft-start function by clamping the output voltage of error amplifier so that the duty cycle of the PWM will be increased gradually in the soft-start temperature, TA is the ambient temperature and the qJA is the junction to ambient thermal resistance. For the recommended operating specification of LP3390, the maximum junction temperature of the die is 125°C. The junction to ambient thermal resistance Qja is layout dependent. period. Current Limiting The current flow through inductor as charging period is detected by a current sensing circuit. As the value comes across the current limiting threshold, the N-MOSFET will be turned off so that the inductor will be forced to leave charging stage and enter discharging stage. Therefore, the inductor current will not increase over the current limiting threshold. OVP/UVLO/OTP The Over Voltage Protection is detected by a junction breakdown detecting circuit. Once VOUT goes over the detecting voltage, LX pin stops LP3390 Version 1.0 Datasheet NOV.-2013 conditions www.lowpowersemi.com Page 6 of 8 Preliminary Datasheet LP3390 Layout Consideration and wide.
