Supertex inc. HV9921DB1 Universal Off-line LED Driver Demoboard Introduction The Supertex HV9921DB1 demoboard is a complete LED power driver to supply a string of LEDs using the HV9921, an integrated 3-pin high input voltage constant-current buck regulator IC. The HV9921 integrates a 500V switching MOSFET and can operate directly from the rectified universal AC line voltage range of 80 to 265VAC. The current in the LED string is internally programmed to 20mA ±15%. The HV9921DB1 is ideally suited for driving strings of LEDs having forward voltage from 20 to 50V at high efficiency (typically 80% at 120VAC). Specifications Parameter Input voltage range Load current Value 80 to 265VAC 20mA ± 15% LED string voltage 20 ~ 50V Conducted EMI CISPR15 Efficiency 80% typ. The HV9921DB1 is a peak current-controlled buck converter operating with fixed off-time of 10.5us. Its fixed off-time control scheme provides good stability and tight regulation of the LED current throughout the input AC line voltage range. As its switching frequency varies over the AC line cycle, the HV9921 inherently introduces frequency dither and simplifies the compliance with EMI regulations.

The average current reading may be smaller than 20mA. This is due to the interruptions in the LED current when the input AC line voltage falls below the forward voltage of the LED string. The average current will also vary over the AC line voltage range. Additional hold-up capacitance can be included across CIN, if these interruptions are not desirable. Connect the LED string to the output terminals. Check the polarity of the LED connection, anode end of the string should be connected to the positive output, cathode should be connected to the negative output. Connect the AC input to the input terminals. Apply the AC voltage at the input terminals and the LED string should start to glow. The HV9921DB1 will regulate constant 20mA current in the LED.
