The LC5200 series is a power IC, for non-isolated LED driver
with commercial power supply applications, which includes
both a main controller integrated circuit (MIC) and a power
MOSFET. Its high voltage capability allows direct connection
to a wide range of supply voltages ranging from 25 to 400 V
(recommended). The LC5200 uses constant current mode to
drive LEDs. The LC5200D series package is a fully molded
DIP8 with pin 7 removed for greater isolation, and the LC5200S

Internal Circuit Descriptions
This section describes the functions displayed in the Functional
Block diagram.
Regulator
This regulator steps-down from the supply voltage, VBB , to 12 V,
and provides power to internal circuits and external devices. A
ceramic capacitor of 0.1 μF should be connected close to the
REG pin to stabilize operation because some pulse currents flow
through the gate capacitor when charging the internal power
MOSFET.
Current Control
The output current is controlled constant in internal PWM mode,
by comparing the REF pin voltage with the SEN pin voltage.
Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
This continually monitors whether the output voltage from the
Regulator function is normal, and prevents abnormal operation
resulting from low input voltage. When the VBB pin voltage is
lower than the UVLO threshold (Turn-off), VUVLO(OFF) , the IC
reverts to the state before startup. In addition, this function is
available during power-on reset, for releasing latched shutdowns
resulting from operation of protection functions.
Thermal Shutdown (TSD)
This continually monitors the chip temperature of the Control
Part. When the temperature increases to TTSD or higher, the
output of the OUT pin turns off to prevent damage from abnormally high temperature. After TSD operation, when the temperature decreases to TTSD minus TTSD(HYS) or lower, or after cycling
power to the IC (that is, the VBB pin voltage falling down to
VUVLO(OFF) and then rising to VUVLO(ON) ), the IC returns to normal operation.
LC5200-DS, Rev. 6.0
Because this circuit is in the Control Part, there is a delay
before temperature increases in the internal power MOSFET are
conducted to the Control Part. If the temperature of the power
MOSFET increases rapidly, the power MOSFET may be damaged before TSD is activated. Therefore, it is necessary design
the application well to protect against this.
Overcurrent Protection (OCP)
The drain current is detected by the current detection resistor,
RS . When the SEN pin voltage, VSEN , reaches the OCP detection
voltage, VOCP , or more, the OCP function is activated, and thus
the output of the OUT pin turns off, in latch mode. To release
latch mode, cycling power to the IC (that is, the VBB pin voltage falling down to VUVLO(OFF) and then rising to VUVLO(ON)) is
required.
Note: The OCP function is activated only when the SEN pin
voltage, VSEN , reaches VOCP by excessive output current flowing
to RS . Therefore if the output current is restricted to less than its
target value, for example by current limitations of the inductor,
even though the LEDs are shorted, OCP would not be activated.
Logic
This controls the enabling and disabling of the output of the OUT
pin according to signals from the current control circuit and/or
the various protection circuits. The output is enabled only when
the operation is normal and the current control circuit outputs the
on-signal for the OUT pin.
Gate Driver Operation
Gate driver for internal power MOSFET.
Internal Power MOSFET
An internal power MOSFET for LED driving is incorporated in
the IC series, according to the individual product ratings for current and voltage.

Functional Description
PMW Current Control (Buck Converter)
• The polarity value for current specifies a sink as "+ ," and a
source as “−,” referencing the IC.
• All of the parameter values used in these descriptions are typical
values, unless they are specified as minimum or maximum.
PWM On-Time Period
At startup, or during normal operation before the output current through the LED string reaches the target current level, the
internal power MOSFET turns on and the output current flows
through the ION path shown in figure 2.
Turning-Off Period
The output current through the LED string is equivalent to the
current through the detection resistor, RS, and thus the LED current is detected at the SEN pin as a voltage. When the SEN pin
voltage, VSEN, is equal to the REF pin voltage, VREF, the internal
power MOSFET turns off.
PWM Off-Time Period
When the internal power MOSFET turns off, the current recirculation diode, D1, is forward biased by the back electromotive
force (BEMF) in the inductor, L1, and D1 turns on. Then the
energy stored in L1 during PWM on-time flows through the recirculation path shown as IOFF in figure 2.
Internal PWM Control Circuit
Figure 3 shows the internal PWM control circuit, and figure
4 shows the timing diagram of that circuit. When the power
MOSFET turns on, both the load current and VSEN across the current detection resistor RS increase.

Off-Line LED Driver ICs
Comp2 compares VSEN and VREF , and when VREF < VSEN ,
Comp2 inverts its output (see point A in figure 4). This resets the
output Q of the RS flip-flop. After a turn-off signal is transmitted
from the AND gate to the logic, to the gate driver, and finally to
the internal power MOSFET, the power MOSFET turns off. At
the same time, an internal MOS switch, connected to the PWM
pin, turns on, and CPWM is discharged.
After a certain period, when the PWM pin voltage, VPWM ,
decreases to less than 2 V, the comparator for the off-time,
Comp1, inverts and the Q output of the RS flip-flop is set. Then
the MOS switch for discharging CPWM turns off, and CPWM
is charged by the REF pin voltage through RPWM (connected
between the REF and PWM pins).
When VPWM increases to more than 3 V, the fixed off-time
expires and the power MOSFET turns on. After that, the operation reverts to the initial state, shown as point B in figure 4.
VSEN is detected in the on-time period, except during the PWM
blanking time, tBLK , in order to prevent malfunction.
The fixed off-time is determined by RPWM and CPWM. Figure 5
shows PWM off-time curves based on various values of RPWM
and CPWM . The recommended value for RPWM is 560 kΩ, and that
for CPWM is 220 pF. In addition, the proper values for RPWM and
CPWM are changeable according the load conditions of the LEDs
used, and the value of RPWM also affects the losses in the internal
regulator directly. It is necessary to pay attention to these factors.
Current Value Setting for Dimming Control
The LC5200 series allows constant current control using the
internal PWM control, an external PWM signal, or a combination
of both of them.
Using Internal PWM Dimming
The LC5200 series has a built-in PWM constant current control
circuit, and thus can achieve a constant current drive system for
the LED string, while requiring few external components. The
peak output current, IPEAK , for driving the LED string is calculated as follows:
IPEAK =
VREF
VREG × R2
=
RS
RS × ( R1 + R2 )
(1)
The LC5200 series allows external adjustment of the current
flowing through the LED string, using either of the following
methods:
• Adjusting the analog voltage on the REF pin (figure 6A)
• Inputting the analog voltage integrated PWM signal through a
low pass filter, LPF, to the REF pin (figure 6B)
However, the dimming control by adjusting the REF pin voltage
can not set the output current to zero. When controlling to zero
current, an external signal and external circuit are needed to set
the PWM pin voltage to low.

Using External PWM Dimming
Using an external PWM signal allows applying the LC5200
series as a high voltage power switch. In this configuration, the
output of the OUT pin turns on and off according to a logic signal
input to the PWM pin. Because this control is not activated by the
internal PWM current control circuit, an external current control
circuit is needed. The frequency of the input PWM signal is recommended to be in the range 20 to 200 kHz.
As shown in figure 7, CPWM and RPWM are removed, and then the
PWM signal is directly input to the PWM pin. The REF pin must
be pulled up to the REG pin.
On the internal circuit of the PWM pin, there is a comparator
with hysteresis. When the input signal on the PWM pin is 3 V, the
comparator turns on the OUT pin, and when the input signal is
2 V, the comparator turns off the OUT pin. Because the internal
circuit of the PWM pin has a built-in Zener diode of 6.3 V (typ)
for protection, the PWM pin voltage is compatible with 5 V
CMOS logic level.
When the SEN pin voltage, VSEN, reaches the OCP detection
voltage, VOCP, or more, the OCP function is activated.
Using Both Internal and External PWM Dimming
This configuration combines the two configurations described
above: the internal PWM control circuit determines the limitation
of the peak output current flowing through the LED string, and
the external PWM circuit controls the average current. This configuration is effective for a low frequency external PWM range,
200 to 500 Hz. The application circuit is shown in figure 8.
The narrower the duty cycle of the external PWM signal is, the
higher the average LED output current is. At a 100% duty cycle,
the LED output current is 0 A. The timing diagram is shown in
figure 9.
As shown in figure 8, the circuit has an added external MOS
switch, and when the PWM pin signal goes low, the internal
PWM current control is activated.

Application Information
Typical Application Components
The typical application circuit for a buck configuration, shown
in figure 1, is an example for a basic peripheral circuit. Table 1
provides reference specifications for the typical application
circuit in figure 1, listing parts as examples for the sole purpose
of reference for the initial use of the IC. The specifications are
for typical values, and do not take into consideration application
usage conditions such as PCB layout, LED types, or circuit noise.
It is necessary to take account of such factors fully while designing the application, and component selection should be validated
by operation in the actual application.
External Component Selection
The following recommendations should be observed when selecting components for use with the LC5200 series.
LEDs
The relationship between the LED ratings and the output current ratings of the IC should be considered. In a buck configuration, the total forward voltage drop, VLED , of the LEDs in series
should be less than the VBB pin voltage, VBB , because the LEDs
would be turned off if VLED were more than VBB . Normally, a
VLED of 9 to 60 V is assumed.
L1
This is an inductor for smoothing output current. When the
inductance value of L1 is relatively higher, the LED ripple current
is lower, and thus current stability is improved. Normally, an L1
value of 0.5 to 10 mH is assumed.
In actual operation, L1 should be rated such that it is not saturated
by the peak of the ripple current. If the inductor becomes saturated by an unexpectedly high surge current flow, the LEDs and
the IC could be damaged.
D1
This is a free-wheeling diode for recirculation of the output
current. The energy stored during the PWM on-time period is
provided to the LEDs through this diode during the off-time
period. The withstand voltage and the recovery time, tRR , should
be considered.

If a diode with a long tRR is selected, surge current may flow into
the OUT pin when the internal power MOSFET turns on. If this
were to occur, it would cause increased noise, potentially resulting in malfunction due to the noise, and decreased efficiency.
CIN
This is an input smoothing capacitor. When the capacitance value
of CIN is relatively higher, the input and output ripple voltages
are lower. However, given a certain capacitance level, the greater
the output power is, the greater the ripple voltages are. Thus it is
necessary to select the value according to the output power.
The IC is capable of operation, with VIN full-wave rectification,
with an input capacitor rated as low as approximately 1000 pF,
instead of with an electrolytic capacitor. By allowing configuration without an electrolytic capacitor, the IC enhances power supply system operational life, and reduces system size and cost.
Note: If the lower peak of the ripple voltage of VIN is allowed to
fall below the UVLO Threshold (Turn off), VUVLO(OFF) , or if the
output voltage is less than VLED , the LEDs are turned off. Thus it
is necessary to take account of the value of CIN .
C1
This is a capacitor for stabilizing the internal regulator. It is
required to provide the charge current for charging the gate of
the internal power MOSFET, and to maintain a stable voltage.
Normally, a ceramic capacitor of 0.1 μF is used. A too-low value
causes decreased switching speed and malfunctions. A too-high
value causes a longer startup time because a long charging time
for this capacitor delays startup for the power supply. These factors should be carefully evaluated.
The capacitor should be placed as close to the IC as possible.
LC5200-DS, Rev. 6.0
R1, R2, and RS
These resistors determine the peak output current, IPEAK , flowing
to the LEDs. The peak current value can be calculated as follows:
IPEAK =
VREF
VREG × R2
=
RS
RS × ( R1 + R2 )
For example, to set IPEAK to 0.35 A, assuming a REG pin voltage,
VREG , of 12 V, and resistances for R1 of 680 kΩ, R2 of 20 kΩ,
and RS of 1 Ω:
IPEAK =
12 (V) × 20 (kΩ)
1 (Ω) × ( 680 (kΩ) × 20 (kΩ) )
= 0.343 A
In actual operation, the current value is higher than that calculated by the above equation because there is some propagation
delay in internal circuit. Especially when the input voltage is
high and the inductance value is low, the di/dt slope of the current is high, and the actual current value is much higher than the
calculated current value. The current flowing to R1 and R2 affects
the losses in the internal regulator directly. Therefore it is recommended to select R1 and R2 such that 500 kΩ < R1 + R2 , in order
to restrict current as much as possible.
It is recommended that the detection resistor, RS , have an allowable power dissipation that is twice to three times as much as
the loss in RS as margin, because the output current flows to it
when the internal power MOSFET turns on, and the loss may be
comparatively large.

Because reliability can be affected adversely by improper
storage environments and handling methods, please observe
the following cautions.
Cautions for Storage
• Ensure that storage conditions comply with the standard
temperature (5°C to 35°C) and the standard relative
humidity (around 40% to 75%); avoid storage locations
that experience extreme changes in temperature or
humidity.
• Avoid locations where dust or harmful gases are present
and avoid direct sunlight.
• Reinspect for rust on leads and solderability of the
products that have been stored for a long time.
Cautions for Testing and Handling
When tests are carried out during inspection testing and
other standard test periods, protect the products from
power surges from the testing device, shorts between
the product pins, and wrong connections. Ensure all test
parameters are within the ratings specified by Sanken for
the products.
Soldering
• When soldering the products, please be sure to minimize
the working time, within the following limits:
▫ DIP8
Flow soldering:
260±5°C
10±1 s (2 times)
Soldering iron:
380±10°C 3.5±0.5 s (1 time)
Soldering should be at a distance of at least 1.5 mm
from the body of the products.
▫ SOP8
Reflow soldering:
180°C
90±30 s for preheating
250°C
10±1 s (260°C peak, 2 times) for
solder heating
Soldering iron:
380±10°C 3.5±0.5 s (1 time)
Note: Flow soldering must not be used.
LC5200-DS, Rev. 6.0
Electrostatic Discharge
• When handling the products, the operator must be
grounded. Grounded wrist straps worn should have at
least 1 MΩ of resistance from the operator to ground to
prevent shock hazard, and it should be placed near the
operator.
• Workbenches where the products are handled should be
grounded and be provided with conductive table and floor
mats.
• When using measuring equipment such as a curve tracer,
the equipment should be grounded.
• When soldering the products, the head of soldering irons
or the solder bath must be grounded in order to prevent
leak voltages generated by them from being applied to the
products.
• The products should always be stored and transported in
Sanken shipping containers or conductive containers, or
be wrapped in aluminum foil.

• Although Sanken undertakes to enhance the quality and reliability of its products, the occurrence of failure and defect of semiconductor products at a certain rate is inevitable. Users of Sanken products are requested to take, at their own risk, preventative measures
including safety design of the equipment or systems against any possible injury, death, fires or damages to the society due to device
failure or malfunction.
• Sanken products listed in this document are designed and intended for the use as components in general purpose electronic equipment or apparatus (home appliances, office equipment, telecommunication equipment, measuring equipment, etc.).
When considering the use of Sanken products in the applications where higher reliability is required (transportation equipment and
its control systems, traffic signal control systems or equipment, fire/crime alarm systems, various safety devices, etc.), and whenever
long life expectancy is required even in general purpose electronic equipment or apparatus, please contact your nearest Sanken sales
representative to discuss, prior to the use of the products herein.

• In the case that you use Sanken products or design your products by using Sanken products, the reliability largely depends on the
degree of derating to be made to the rated values. Derating may be interpreted as a case that an operation range is set by derating the
load from each rated value or surge voltage or noise is considered for derating in order to assure or improve the reliability. In general,
derating factors include electric stresses such as electric voltage, electric current, electric power etc., environmental stresses such
as ambient temperature, humidity etc. and thermal stress caused due to self-heating of semiconductor products. For these stresses,
instantaneous values, maximum values and minimum values must be taken into consideration.
In addition, it should be noted that since power devices or IC's including power devices have large self-heating value, the degree of
derating of junction temperature affects the reliability significantly.
• When using the products specified herein by either (i) combining other products or materials therewith or (ii) physically, chemically
or otherwise processing or treating the products, please duly consider all possible risks that may result from all such uses in advance
