Data Sheet Rev. 1.1 / August 2010 ZLED7010 40V LED Driver with Temperature Compensation ZLED7010 40V LED Driver with Temperature Compensation Brief Description Features Capable of 95% efficiency* Operates in continuous mode with a wide input range from 6 VDC to 40 VDC Integrated 40V power switch One-pin on/off or brightness control via DC voltage or PWM control signal Switching frequency: ≤ 1MHz Dimming rate: 1200:1 (typical) Output current accuracy: 5% (typical) Built-in temperature compensation and open-circuit protection for LEDs Thermal shutdown protection for the ZLED7010 Very few external components needed for operation Broad range of applications: outputs up to ≤750mA SOP-8 package The ZLED7010, one of our ZLED Family of LED control ICs, is an inductive step-down converter that is optimal for driving a single LED or multiple LEDs (connected in series) from a voltage source greater than the voltage rating of the LED. The ZLED7010 operates in continuous mode. Capable of operating efficiently with voltage supplies ranging from 6 VDC to 40 VDC, it is ideal for low-voltage lighting applications. The ZLED7010 minimizes current consumption by remaining in a low-current standby mode (output is off) until a voltage of ≥0.3V is applied to the ADJI pin. In operating mode, the ZLED7010 can source LEDs with an output current of ≤ 750mA (≤ 30 watts of output power*) that is externally adjustable. The ZLED7010’s integrated output switch and high-side current sensing circuit use an external resistor to adjust the average output current. LED control is achieved via an external control signal at the ZLED7010’s ADJI pin, implemented as a pulse-width modulation (PWM) waveform for a gated output current or a DC voltage for continuous current. The ZLED7010 provides a temperature compensation function for maintaining stable and reliable LED operation. LED over-temperature conditions are detected via a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor mounted close to the LEDs. If an over-temperature condition occurs, the NTC value reaches the value of a threshold resistor and the IC reduces LED current automatically. After the circuit recovers to a safe temperature, current returns to the set value. ADJO outputs and ADJI inputs of consecutive ICs can be interconnected as a driver chain deploying the temperature compensation information of the predecessor. This reduces the part count because only the first stage of the series requires an NTC. 6 to 40 VDC Application Examples Illuminated LED signs and other displays LED traffic and street lighting (low-voltage) Architectural LED lighting, including low-voltage applications for buildings Halogen replacement LEDs (low-voltage) LED flood-lighting LED backlighting General purpose exterior and interior LED lighting, including applications requiring low-voltage General purpose low-voltage industrial applications ZLED7010 Application Circuit RS VS D1 1 C1 4 1μF 3 C2 100nF R2 50kΩ 6 n LED 2 ISENSE VIN RNTC RTH ZLED7010 ADJI GND R3 NTC L1 LX ADJO 8 47μH 5 7 * See section 2.3 for details © 2010 Zentrum Mikroelektronik Dresden AG — Rev. 1.1 All rights reserved.

It operates in continuous mode, enabling proper LED current control. The ZLED7010 supports linear or PWM control of the LED current. It provides temperature compensation to maintain stable and reliable operation of the LEDs. Only a few external components are needed for typical applications. 2.1. Voltage Supply The ZLED7010 has an internal regulator that disables the LX output until the voltage supply rises above a start-up threshold voltage set internally as needed to ensure that the power MOSFET on-resistance is low enough for proper operation. When the supply voltage exceeds the threshold, the ZLED7010 begins normal operation. Important: The ZLED7010 must be operated within the operating voltage range specified in section 1.2 to avoid conditions that could result in thermal damage to the ZLED7010. Operating with the supply voltage below the minimum can result in a high switch duty cycle and excessive ZLED7010 power dissipation, risking over-temperature conditions (also see section 4.1 regarding thermal restrictions) which could result in activation of the ZLED7010’s thermal shut-down circuitry (see section 4.2). With multiple LEDs, the forward drop is typically adequate to prevent the chip from switching below the minimum voltage supply specification (6V), so there is less risk of thermal shut-down. 2.2. ZLED7010 Standby Mode Whenever the ADJI pin voltage falls below 0.2V, the ZLED7010 turns the output off and the supply current drops to approximately 60μA. This standby mode minimizes current consumption. 2.3. Output Current Control The LED control current output on the LX pin is determined by the value of external components and the control voltage input at the ADJI pin. Selection of the external component RS is discussed below, and other external components are discussed in section 3. The subsequent sections describe the two options for control voltage input at the ADJI pin: a pulse width modulation (PWM) control signal or a DC control voltage. The ADJI pin has an input impedance † of 500kΩ ±25%. 2.3.1. Output Current and RS The current sense threshold voltage and the value of the external current sense resistor (RS) between VIN and ISENSE set the output current through the LEDs (IOUT). Equation (1) shows this basic relationship. Unless the ADJ pin is driven from an external voltage (see section 2.3.3), the minimum value for RS is 0.13Ω to prevent exceeding the maximum switch current (see section 1.3). I OUT 95mV RS (1) Where IOUT = Nominal average output current through the LED(s) RS ≥0.13Ω † At room temperature.

PWM Control The output current on LX can be set to a value below the nominal average value determined by resistor RS by using an external PWM signal as the control signal applied to the ADJI pin. This control signal must be capable of driving the ZLED7010’s internal 500kΩ pull-up resistor. See Figure 2.1 for an illustration. The minimum signal voltage range is 0V to 1.8V; the maximum voltage range is 0V to 5V. See section 1.3 for the specifications for the signal’s duty cycle DPWM. Any negative spikes on the control signal could interfere with current control or proper operation of the ZLED7010. Figure 2.1 Directly Driving ADJI Input with a PWM Control Signal ZLED 7010 1.8V to 5V 0V PWM 2.3.3. ADJI GND ADJO External DC Voltage Control of Output Current The output current on LX can be set to a value below the nominal average value determined by resistor RS by using an external DC voltage VADJ (0.3 V ≤ VADJ ≤ 1.2V) to drive the voltage at the ADJI pin. This allows adjusting the output current from 25% to 100% of IOUTnom. See Figure 2.2 for an illustration. The output current can be calculated using equation (2). If VADJ matches or exceeds VREF (1.2V), the brightness setting is clamped at its maximum (100%).

Microcontroller LED Control The open-drain output of a microcontroller can control current to the LEDs by outputting a PWM control signal to the ADJI input. See Figure 2.3 for an example circuit.

Application Circuit Design External Component – Inductor L1 Select the inductor value for L1 as needed to ensure that switch on/off times are optimized across the load current and supply voltage ranges. Select a coil that has a continuous current rating above the required average output current to the LEDs and a saturation current exceeding the peak output current. Recommendation: Use inductors in the range of 15μH to 220μH with saturation current greater than 1A for 700mA output current or saturation current greater than 500mA for 350mA output current. For higher supply voltages with low output current, select higher values of inductance, which result in a smaller change in output current across the supply voltage range (refer to the graphs in section 1.4). See section 8.8 for layout restrictions. Equations (3) and (4) illustrate calculating the timing for LX switching for the example application circuit shown on page 2. As given in section 1.3, the minimum period for TON is 200ns; the minimum period for TOFF is also 200ns.

The inductance value has an equivalent effect on Ton and Toff and therefore affects the switching frequency. For the same reason the inductance has no influence on the duty cycle for which the relation of the summed LED forward voltages n VF to the input voltage VIN is a reasonable approximation. Because the input voltage is a factor in the ON time, variations in the input voltage affect the switching frequency and duty cycle.

External Component – Capacitor C1 To improve system efficiency, use a low-equivalent-series-resistance (ESR) capacitor for input decoupling because this capacitor must pass the input current AC component. The capacitor value is defined by the target maximum ripple of the supply voltage; the value is given by equation (7). C MIN I F TON VMAX (7) Where IF ΔVMAX TON Value of output current Maximum ripple of power supply Maximum ON time of MOSFET In the case of an AC supply with a rectifier, the capacitor value must be chosen high enough to make sure that the DC voltage does not drop below the maximum forward voltage of the LED string plus some margin for the voltage drops across the coil resistance, shunt resistor, and ON resistance of the switching transistor. Recommendation: Use capacitors with X5R, X7R, or better dielectric for maximum stability over temperature and voltage. Do not use Y5V capacitors for decoupling in this application. For higher capacitance values, aluminum electrolytic caps with high switching capability should be used. In this case improved performance can be reached by an additional X7R/X5R bypass capacitor of at least 100nF. 3.3. External Component – Diode D1 For the rectifier D1, select a high-speed low-capacitance Schottky diode with low reverse leakage at the maximum operating voltage and temperature to ensure maximum efficiency and performance. Important: Choose diodes with a continuous current rating higher than the maximum output load current and a peak current rating above the peak coil current. When operating above 85°C, the reverse leakage of the diode must be addressed because it can cause excessive power dissipation in the ZLED7010. Note: Silicon diodes have a greater forward voltage and overshoot caused by reverse recovery time, which can increase the peak voltage on the LX output. Ensure that the total voltage appearing on the LX pin, including supply ripple, is within the specified range (see section 1.3).

Output Ripple Shunt a capacitor CLED across the LED(s) as shown in Figure 3.1 to minimize the peak-to-peak ripple current in the LED if necessary. Figure 3.1 Output Ripple Reduction Low-ESR capacitors should be used because the efficiency of CLED largely depends on its ESR and the dynamic resistance of the LED(s). For an increased number of LEDs, using the same capacitor will be more effective. Lower ripple can be achieved with higher capacitor values, but it will increase start-up delay by reducing the slope of the LED voltage. The capacitor will not affect operating frequency or efficiency. For a simulation or bench optimization, CLED values of a few μF are an applicable start point for the given configuration.

Operating Conditions Thermal Conditions Refer to section 1.1 for maximum package power dissipation specifications for the ZLED7010’s SOP-8 package. Exceeding these specifications due to operating the chip at high ambient temperatures (see section 1.2 for maximum operating temperature range) or driving over the maximum load current (see section 1.3) can damage the ZLED7010. The ZLED7010 can be used for LED current applications up to750mA when properly mounted to a high wattage land pattern. Conditions such as operating below the minimum supply voltage or inefficiency of the circuit due to improper coil selection or excessive parasitic capacitance on the output can cause excessive chip power dissipation. 4.2. Thermal Shut-Down Protection The ZLED7010 includes an on-board temperature sensing circuit that stops the output if the junction exceeds approximately 160°C. 4.3. Open-Circuit Protection The ZLED7010 is inherently protected if there is an open-circuit in the connection to the LEDs because in this case, the coil is isolated from the LX pin. This prevents any back EMF from damaging the internal switch due to forcing the drain above its breakdown voltage. 4.4. External Temperature Compensation of Output Current The ZLED7010’s temperature compensation feature is useful in applications that require a temperature compensated LED control current to ensure stability and reliability over temperature, such as high luminance LEDs. When output current compensation is needed, use an external temperature sensing network, typically with negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistors/diodes, located close to the LED(s) and connected to the RNTC and Rth inputs. With this circuit configuration, the internal circuitry of the ZLED7010 reduces the output current if the temperature sensing input indicates a rising temperature. Figure 4.1 Temperature Compensation RNTC ZLED7010 R4 R3 NTC RTH ADJI R2 ADJO GND As shown in Figure 4.1, the temperature compensation curve is determined by R2, R3 (NTC) and R4. When the LED temperature increases, the resistance of R3 decreases. As R3 reaches the point that R3 plus R4 equal R2, the temperature compensation function starts to work by reducing IOUT.

If R4 is just 0Ω, the slope is solely driven by the NTC component’s characteristic β-constant. Larger values of R4 will decrease the slope. When dimensioning R2, consider that larger values will make the RTH pin more noise sensitive and lower values will increase power consumption therefore values from 1k to 100k are recommended. For a selected temperature compensation threshold, larger R3 and R4 require larger R2 to match and vice versa. Also see section 5 regarding driver chains and temperature compensation. Figure 4.2 shows some examples of current-temperature curves resulting from different dimensioning of the three resistors.

Note that only one temperature sensing network is needed. When R3+R4 > R2, VADJO = VADJI. When R3+R4 < R2, the ADJO pin outputs the ADJI input voltage with temperature compensation information.

Using more than three stages to maintain current coherence is not recommended. Up to thirteen ZLED7010 can be connected in one system.

Layout Requirements Layout Considerations for ADJI (Pin 6) For applications in which the ADJI pin is unconnected, minimize the length of circuit board traces connected to ADJI to reduce noise coupling through this high impedance input. 8.2. Layout Considerations for LX (Pin 8) Minimize the length of circuit board traces connected to the LX pin because it is a fast switching output. 8.3. Layout Considerations for VIN (Pin 1) and the External Decoupling Capacitor (C1) The C1 input decoupling capacitor must be placed as close as possible to the VIN pin to minimize power supply noise, which can reduce efficiency. See section 3.2 regarding capacitor selection. 8.4. Layout Considerations for GND (Pin 7) The ZLED7010 GND (ground) pin must be soldered directly to the circuit board’s ground plane to minimize ground bounce due to fast switching of the LX pin. 8.5. Layout Considerations for ADJO (Pin 5) When the application requires a driver chain of multiple ZLED7010s, noise might be coupled in if there are longer PCB traces from the driving ADJO pin to next stage ADJI pin. In this case, a 200pF (maximum) capacitor must be connected between the line and ground to filter out the noise. The best practice is to connect one capacitor each close to the ADJO output pin and the next stage ADJI input pins. The total capacitance in addition to the parasitic capacitance from the ADJO pin to ground must not exceed 200pF. See Figure 5.1. 8.6. Layout Considerations for RTH and RNTC (Pins 3 and 4) The PCB trace from R2 to the RTH pin should be as short as possible to minimize noise coupling. Because the NTC thermistor R3 is mounted close to the LEDs and remote from the ZLED7010, the PCB trace from R3 to RNTC pin is longer and more susceptible to noise. A 100nF capacitor from the RNTC pin to ground and close to the RNTC pin is recommended to filter the noise and provide protection against high voltage transients. 8.7. Layout Considerations for High Voltage Traces Avoid laying out any high voltage traces near the ADJ pin to minimize the risk of leakage in cases of board contamination, which could raise the ADJ pin voltage resulting in unintentional output current. Leakage current can be minimized by laying out a ground ring around the ADJ pin. 8.8. Layout Considerations for the External Coil (L1) The L1 coil must be placed as close as possible to the chip to minimize parasitic resistance and inductance, which can reduce efficiency. The connection between the coil and the LX pin must be low resistance. 8.9. Layout Considerations for the External Current Sense Resistor (RS) Any trace resistance in series with RS must be taken into consideration when selecting the value for RS.
