In the case of a ground short the current Iset is limited to 660uA and the LED-current to 330mA. Te ch ni ca Iset has a lower limit of 6uA with a 1uA hysteresis.This sets the lower limit of the LED-current to 3mA with Rset=200kΩ. If Rset is large than 200kΩ, the LED-current is set to 0mA.

VDDH_HC resistor am lc s on A te G nt st il V in – 5V R VDDH_HC = ------------------50mA lv Pin VDDH_HC is connected to an internal 3.3V voltage regulator. In order to keep the power dissipation of this regulator low, it is recommended to connect pin VDDH_HC to the power supply Vin with a resistor. The resistor should guarantee sufficient voltage drop so that the remaining voltage at pin VDDH_HC is approximately 5V. The power dissipation of the RVDDH_HC hat to be considered. 2 P R VDDH_HC = ( 50mA ) × R VDDH_HC (EQ 2) (EQ 3) Typical values for RVVDH2 are: VIN = 13V: RVDDH_HC= 150Ω / 0.5W VIN = 24V: RVDDH_HC= 380Ω / 1.5W 8.3 Safety features 8.3.1 Undervoltage lockout ca In order to avoid startup of the Boost controller at low supply voltage an undervoltage lockout function is implemented. The boost controller only turns on when the voltage at pin UVLO exceeds VUVLO. Once the boost controller is turned on a current source IUVLO_Hyst is activated which increases the UVLO voltage and so shifts the turn off voltage level. Te ch ni Figure 11. Undervoltage lockout www.austriamicrosystems.com/AS3834 Revision 1.6 11 - 20 AS3834 Datasheet - D e t a i l e d D e s c r i p t i o n Following equations can be derived for adjusting the threshold voltages: Undervoltage lockout LOW level: 8.3.2 RUVLO1 V DDH_UVH = V UVLO × 1 + ------------------- RUVLO2 (EQ 4) R UVLO1 VDDH_UVL = VUVLO × 1 + ------------------- – I UVLO × R UVLO1 R UVLO2 (EQ 5) al id Undervoltage lockout HIGH level: Overtemperature Shutdown If the device temperature reaches TOFF the boost controller and all current outputs are turned off.

Short Led protection A built in short protection comparator is monitoring the junction temperature TJ of the external bipolar transistors by measuring the base-emitter voltage VBE. V BE = 1,2V – 0.002 × T J Tj....junction temperature in K (EQ 6) Te ch ni ca When the measured VBE gets lower than the voltage applied at pin Vth an overtemperature an hence an short LED condition is detected. Subsequently the fault output is activated (xFAULT = 0) and the corresponding output is deactivated.

Open Led detection A broken LED-string is detected during PWM=1. If a LED-string is broken the power supply feedback will increment the IDAC to increase the power supply output voltage. After the IDAC has reached its maximum value, a debounce counter is started. In order to run the debounce counter, the corresponding PWM-signal has to be high for more than 150us. After the debounce counter has counted up for 32ms, the fault output is activated (xFAULT = 0) and the corresponding output is disconnected from the power supply feedback loop. 8.4 Boost controller Te ch ni ca Figure 14.
