NCV7691 D

NCV7691
Current Controller for
Automotive LED Lamps
The NCV7691 is a device which uses an external NPN bipolar
device combined with feedback resistor(s) to regulate a current for use
in driving LEDs. The target application for this device is automotive
rear combination lamps. A single driver gives the user flexibility to
add single channels to multichannel systems. A dedicated dimming
feature is included via the PWM input pin. The individual driver is
turned off when an open load or short circuit is detected.
LED brightness levels are easily programmed using an external
resistor in series with the bipolar transistor. The use of the resistor
gives the user the flexibility to use the device over a wide range of
currents.
Multiple strings of LEDs can be operated with a single NCV7691
device.
Set back power limit reduces the drive current during overvoltage
conditions.
The device is available in a SOIC−8 package.

Detailed Operating Description
Output Drive
The NCV7691 device provides low−side current drive via
an external bipolar transistor. The low voltage (152 mV)
current sense threshold allows for maximum dropout
voltage in the system. Dimming is performed using the
dedicated PWM pin on the IC. Average output current is
directly related to the intensity of the LED (or LED string).
Figure 7 shows the typical output drive configuration. A
feedback loop regulates the current through the external
LED. U1 monitors the voltage across the external sense
resistor (R1). When the voltage exceeds the 152 mV
reference, the output of U1 goes from high to low sending
a signal the buffer (U2) decreasing the base drive to the
external transistor (BCP56). For loads above 150 mA, a
PZT651device (replacing the BCP56) is recommended for
stable operation.

FLTS Reporting
Latched off conditions can be reinitiated by a toggle of the
PWM pin or a power down of the supply (VS).

which force the output off.

Open Load Detection
Faulted output strings due to open load conditions
sometimes require the complete shutdown of illumination
within an automotive rear lighting system. The NCV7691
provides that feature option. When an open load is detected,
the output turns off, and can be turned back on again by a
toggle of the PWM pin or a power down of the supply (VS).
If the open load feature is not used, FLTS should be tied to
GND. Grounding FLTS disables open load detection. Short
circuit detection and thermal shutdown functions remain
active but are not reported externally. The BASE pin is
actively held low in this case.

System Voltage and Overvoltage Fold−back
Low voltage system operation is typically limited by head
room in the LED string. Because of this limitation, detection
of open loads is inactive below VS = typ 8.5 V (Open Load
Disable voltage). There is also an upper limitation. The
current roll off feature of the part resets the loop at a lower
reference voltage and consequential lower current for VS
above the Overvoltage Fold−back threshold on VS, (typ
19.5 V). The open load Detection circuitry is inactive for VS
above this Overvoltage Fold−back threshold voltage.

The timing for open load detection is programmed using
the FLTS pin. The NCV7691 device regulates a 152 mV
reference point (Figure 8 on the feedback pin (FB)). When
the voltage decreases (half of the FB Regulation Voltage) or
the base current reaches the internal 25 mA (typ) limit for
42 ms the timer associated with the FLTS pin starts by
charging the capacitor with a 2 mA current source. When the
voltage on FLTS exceeds the output Deactivation Threshold
(1.15 V (typ)), the BASE pin is pulled low and is held low
by an internal pulldown resistor.
A 42 msec blanking time during power up ensures there is
enough time for power−up to eliminate false open−load
detections. The slow FLTS discharge (600 kW [typ]) load
(and resultant long time to restart LED drive) eliminates
flickering effects.

back to the microprocessor regardless of which channel it

allows any channel to charge the FLTS capacitor due to its
definition at a charge current value much higher than the
discharge value (2 mA versus 600 kW [typ]). Additional

Temperature Compensation
temperature coefficients of the devices have a wide variation
with the low voltage zeners having a high negative
temperature coefficient and the high voltage zeners having
a positive temperature coefficient. The regulation loop
voltage on NTC should be sufficiently higher than the
220 mV reference voltage to avoid interactions. A typical
regulation voltage of 1.6 V is suggested.
The overall tolerance specification for the NTC
functionality is broken down into two components.
1. Absolute error. A ±2% tolerance is attributed to
the expected value as a result of internal circuitry
(most predominantly the 1/10 resistor divider).
2. Reference error. A ± 7mV offset mismatch in the
circuitry referenced to FB.
This provides a part capability of (V(NTC)/10) x 0.98
−7mV < V(FB) < (V(NTC)/10) x 1.02 + 7mV.
The NCV7691 device typically operates with a zero TC
output current source. The NTC (Negative Temperature
Coefficient) pin provides an alternative for an output current
which degrades with temperature as defined by the
designer’s external components.
Zero TC operation is provided when the NTC pin is
connected to GND. When a negative temperature
coefficient output current is desired to compensate for
effects of external LED illumination, the setup shown in
Figure 11 will provide the function. On the NTC pin, a
comparator detects when the voltage is higher than typ
220 mV, and this voltage is used to provide the feedback
reference voltage for the current feedback regulation loop.
The zener provides a reference voltage for the negative
temperature coefficient NTC device through an external
divider. Be careful of your choice of the zener diode as the

Short Circuit Detection
(S1). The comparator connected between VS and SC is
referenced to a voltage 2.0 V down from VS. A detection
voltage less than 2.0 V will toggle a signal from the
comparator to the output drive buffer turning off output
drive (BASE) to the external bipolar transistor. An initial
blanking time of 23 msec is used during turn−on of the device
to ignore false detections. This is beneficial during normal
operation and when the device is used without a
microprocessor input (PWM) interface as in Figure 12.
Switching off the Base−driver in case of SC, will also
make the FLTS charge active, indicating the error to the
microprocessor.
When having multiple channels an isolation might be
needed to provide the appropriate voltage back to the SC pin
during short circuit. Figure 13 shows how external diodes
can provide this feature.
The short circuit (SC) pin of the device is used as an input
to detect a fault when the collector of the external bipolar
transistor is shorted to the battery voltage. The threshold
voltage detection is referenced 2.0 volts down from the VS
pin. A voltage of less than 2.0 volts between VS and SC will
latch the device off. The PWM pin must be toggled or UVLO
event must occur to reinitiate a turn−on. The detection time
for this event is swift to protect the external transistor. To
maintain operation during transient events down to 4.5 V,
the short circuit detection circuitry is inactive below
VS = typ 8.5 V. (the same Open Load Disable voltage as
used to disable Open load detection). Otherwise false short
circuit events could be falsely triggered due to
non−conduction of the external LEDs during transients.

Short Circuit Detection with 4 or more Channels
Figure 14 shows an implementation which will work
provided the drop across the loads is < 3.4 V. This limitation
is due to the SC minimum specification of VS − 1.7 V. This
setup saves the user 2 diodes.
Interfacing the short circuit detection for multiple
channels with one NCV7691 driver system is done easily
using diodes or a diode resistor combination depending on
your system requirements.
Figure 13 shows the implementation using 4 individual
diodes which will work for all applications.

Thermal ShutDown
Stoplight / Tail Light Application
The thermal shut down circuit checks the internal junction
temperature of the device. When the internal temperature
rises above the Thermal shutdown threshold for greater than
the thermal shutdown filter time (25 msec [typ]) the device
is switched off. The filter is implemented to achieve a clean
detection.
Switching off the Base−driver in case of TSD, will also
make the FLTS charge active, indicating the error to the
microprocessor.
Automotive applications have a need to drive the RCL
(Rear Combination Light). Combining the NCV7691 with
the NCV1455B device accomplishes that task. Figure 16
shows the interface of the two ICs using an additional diode
(D2). The STOP input signal provides a signal to the
NCV7691 which will provide a 100% duty cycle output to
the LED strings whenever STOP is high. When only TAIL
is high, a modulated duty cycle input is provided to the PWM
input and also provides power to the NCV7691 and the LED
string. The NCV1455B can provide up to 200 mA (albeit
with a 2.5 V drop at 200 mA) of output drive current.
If your application exceeds the current capability of the
NCV1455B (200mA) two extra diodes will be required as
shown in Figure 17. In this case, the current flow through the
LEDs will come from STOP and/or TAIL eliminating the
high current from the NCV1455B.
Applications
Direct Drive without direct battery connection:
Some applications may not allow for a direct connection
of VS to the battery voltage. These applications require a
connection with a smart−FET. Figure 15 highlights this
setup.

NCV7691
R1 is used to limit current in the event of an open circuit on
one of the strings.
Figure 20: Open Circuit.
It shows the change in BASE drive which occurs with an
open circuit in one of the strings. The drive current out of
BASE changes from (Ib(Q1)+ Ib(Q2)) to (Ib(Q1)+Ic(Q2))
as regulation will try to maintain in the loop to get 152 mV
on FB. Figure 21 shows the equivalent circuit when an open
load occurs.
Figure 18: Application Diagram with no microprocessor.
A resistor pull−up from PWM to VS illustrates how the
device can be used as a standalone LED driver without using
a microprocessor to drive the PWM input.
Figure 19 along with Figure 20 and Figure 21 highlight the
use of the NCV7691 device with multiple strings connected
to a common drive BASE pin and using external resistors to
tie additional strings to a common feedback point (FB). The
FB pin will maintain regulation with the FB pin at 152 mV.
