660mA Buck for one to three LEDs in series (ZXLD1360EV11)

ZXLD1360EV13 EVALUATION BOARD USER GUIDE
DESCRIPTION
ZXLD1360EV13 is an evaluation board showing the application of the Diodes Incorporated ZXLD1360 LED driver
device on a board suitable for use in an MR16 lamp.
The board has four main connections: two power inputs P1 and P2, and two LED connections Anode (A) and
Cathode (K). The evaluation board is preset to drive 680mA into a single LED.
The operating voltage is nominally 12VAC or DC. The 33uH inductor used in the circuit is based on
this nominal supply, which should be connected across the P1 and P2 pins.
Note: The input bridge rectifier provides the board with reverse battery protection.
The nominal current, 680mA, is set with the 0R15 sense resistor, R1.
The ADJ pin is not used in this application.
Warning: At 12V nominal operation with 680mA output, the LED will be hot and very bright

ZXLD1360EV13 EVALUATION BOARD REFERENCE DESIGN
The ZXLD1360EV13 is configured to the reference design in Figure 3.
The operating voltage is a nominal 12V AC or DC. The nominal current is set at 680mA with a 0R15
sense resistor, R1 and the circuit operates in continuous mode at approximately 300kHz (with Dc
voltage), with a 33uH inductor and a single LED.
An accurate way of determining the current is to measure the voltage on the sense resistor. A 10K
resistor and a 1uF capacitor can be used to form a low pass filter, the voltage across the capacitor
representing a more stable DC reading of current. 100mV represents 1 Amp when using a 0R1 sense
resistor.
For other reference designs or further applications information, please refer to the ZXLD1360
datasheet.

ZXLD1360EV13 Circuit description
P1 and P2 are the power input pads, feeding into the bridge rectifier, comprising of D2, D3, D4 and D5.
C5 offers EMI filtering at the input pads.
C1 and C2 form the bulk reservoir capacitance, used to sustain operation of the device during the low part of the
AC wave. In the case of a system driving a single LED, only one capacitor of 150uF is needed.
C4 decouples the LED connections to minimise EMI, as well as smoothing the current.
Components positions L2 and C6 are provided to form a filter to further reduce conducted EMI if necessary.
In many cases they may not be required, in which case, L2 pads are shorted out and C6 is not fitted.
The board is supplied in this configuration.
C3 provides local decoupling for the ZXLD1360 device U1. It is important that this is as close as possible to U1,
as reflected in the layout.
R1 sets the LED current, in this case to 680mA.
L1 smoothes the switching at LX into a DC current for the LED string.
D1 operates as the freewheeling diode, preventing large voltage spikes at LX.

ZXLD1360 Operation
In normal operation, when voltage is applied at +Vin, the ZXLD1360 internal NDMOS switch is turned
on. Current starts to flow through sense resistor R1, inductor L1, and the LED. The current ramps up
linearly, and the ramp rate is determined by the input voltage +Vin and the inductor L1. This rising
current produces a voltage ramp across R1. The internal circuit of the ZXLD1360 senses the voltage
across R1 and applies a proportional voltage to the input of the internal comparator. When this
voltage reaches an internally set upper threshold, the NDMOS switch is turned off. The inductor
current continues to flow through R1, L1, the LED and the schottky diode D1, and back to the supply
rail, but it decays, with the rate of decay determined by the forward voltage drop of the LEDs and the
schottky diode. This decaying current produces a falling voltage at R1, which is sensed by the
ZXLD1360. A voltage proportional to the sense voltage across R1 is applied at the input of the internal
comparator. When this voltage falls to the internally set lower threshold, the NDMOS switch is turned
on again. This switch-on-and-off cycle continues to provide the average LED current set by the sense
resistor R1. Please refer to the datasheets for the threshold limits, ZXLD1360 internal circuits,
electrical characteristics and parameters.

ZXLD1360EV13
ZXLD1360EV13 Basic operation at full voltage
1. Connect P1 and P2 to the power supply
2. Set the PSU to 12VAC or 12VDC
3. Turn on the PSU and the LED will illuminate and the current should be approximately 680mA.
Warning: Do not stare at the LED directly.
Changing the LED current
1. Remove R1.
2. Calculate and fit a new sense resistor, R1, the value of which is based on the required LED
current without dimming. R1 can be calculated using following equation :
R1 = 0.1V/IOUT
where IOUT = the LED current.
R1 = the sense resistor value in ohms.
0.1V is the nominal sense voltage with ‘CTRL’ open circuit or set to 2.5V.
An on-line Calculator is available to speed up the design process at:
http://www.diodes.com/destools/calculators.html
PERFORMANCE
The system efficiency depends on the sense resistor, supply voltage, switching inductor and the
number of LEDs.
With a 12VDC supply, the switching frequency is typically 300kHz, and the efficiency level is >80% .
