Note 2: The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of maximum function temperature, T J(max), the junction to ambient thermal resistance, RθJA, and the ambient temperature. The maximum allowable, power dissipation at any ambient temperature is calculated using: PD(MAX)=[TJ(max)-TA]/RθJA . Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipation will cause excessive die temperature. All limits at temperature extremes are guaranteed via correlation using standard statistical methods. 2/8 Version: H14 TS19371 Boost (Step-up) WLED Driver with OVP Functional Block Pin Description Pin Function Description Switching Pin.

Operation can be best understood by referring to the block diagram. At the start of each oscillator cycle, the RS latch is set, which turns on the power switch Q1. A voltage proportional to the switch current is added to a stabilizing ramp and the resulting sum is fed into the positive terminal of the PWM comparator A2. When this voltage exceeds the level at the negative input of A2, the RS latch is reset turning off the power switch. The level at the negative input of A2 is set by the error amplifier A1, and is simply an amplified version of the difference between the feedback voltage and the reference voltage of 95mV. In this manner, the error amplifier sets the correct peak current level to keep the output in regulation. If the error amplifier’s output increases, more current is delivered to the output; if it decreases, less current is delivered. Soft Start and Current Limit The internal soft start circuit minimizes the inrush current during turning on TS19371. The Typical switch current is limited to about 650mA by the chip. Over Voltage Protection The TS19371 has design an internal latched off open-circuit protection circuit, the additional sense pin to detect the voltage when the LEDs are disconnected from the circuit or fail open, the TS19371 will shutdown until input condition changes to bring it out of the shutdown mode. Inductor Selection A 10uH inductor is recommended for most TS19371 applications. Although small size and high efficiency are major concerns, the inductor should have low core losses at 1.2MHz and low DCR (copper wire resistance). Diode Selection Schottky diodes, with their low forward voltage drop and fast reverse recovery, are the ideal choices for TS19371 applications. The forward voltage drop of a Schottky diode represents the conduction losses in the diode while the diode capacitance (CT or CD) represents the switching losses. For diode selection, both forward voltage drop and diode capacitance need to be considered. Schottky diodes with higher current ratings usually have lower forward voltage drop and larger diode capacitance, which can cause significant switching losses at the 1.2MHz switching frequency of the TS19371. A Schottky diode rated at 1000mA is sufficient for most TS19371 applications. Capacitor Selection The small size of ceramic capacitors makes them ideal for TS19371 applications. X5R and X7R types are recommended because they retain their capacitance over wider voltage and temperature ranges than other types such as Y5V or Z5U. A 4.7µF input capacitor and a 4.7µF output capacitor are sufficient for most TS19371 applications. LED Current Control The LED current is controlled by the feedback resistor (R1). The feedback reference is 95mV. The LED current is 95mV/R1. The formula and table 3 for R1 selection are shown below.

Using a PWM Signal to SHDN Pin With the PWM signal applied to the SHDN pin, the TS19371 is turned on or off by the PWM signal. The LEDs operate at either zero or full current. The average LED current increases proportionally with the duty cycle of the PWM signal. A 0% duty cycle will turn off the TS19371 and corresponds to zero LED current. A 100% duty cycle corresponds to full current. The typical frequency range of the PWM signal is 1kHz to 10kHz. The magnitude of the PWM signal should be higher than the minimum SHDN voltage high. For some applications, the preferred method of brightness control is a variable DC voltage to adjust the LED current. The dimming control using a DC voltage is shown in below figure. As the DC voltage increases, the voltage drop on R2 increases and the voltage drop on R1 decreases. Thus, the LED current decreases. The selection of R2 and R3 will make the current from the variable DC source much smaller than the LED current and much larger than the FB pin bias current. For VDC range from 0V to 2V, the selection of resistors in Figure 4 gives dimming control of LED current from 0mA to 20mA.
