Application Information
AL8806 Operation
In normal operation, when voltage is applied at VIN, the AL8806 internal switch is turned on. Current starts to flow through sense resistor RSET,
inductor L1, and the LEDs. The current ramps up linearly, and the ramp rate is determined by the input voltage VIN and the inductor L1.

Figure 1 Typical Application Circuit
This rising current produces a voltage ramp across RSET. The internal circuit of the AL8806 senses the voltage across RSET and applies a
proportional voltage to the input of the internal comparator.
When this voltage reaches an internally set upper threshold, the internal switch is turned off. The inductor current continues to flow through RSET,
L1, the LEDs 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 AL8806. A voltage proportional to the sense voltage across RSET is
applied at the input of the internal comparator. When this voltage falls to the internally set lower threshold, the internal switch is turned on again.
This switch-on-and-off cycle continues to provide the average LED current set by the sense resistor RSET.
LED Current Control
The LED current is controlled by the resistor RSET in Figure 1.
Connected between VIN and SET the nominal average output current in the LED(s) is defined as:
ILED 
VTHD
RSET
If the CTRL pin is driven by an external voltage (higher than 0.4V and lower than 2.5V), the average LED current is:
ILED 
VCTRL VTHD
VREF R SET
For example for a desired LED current of 1.33A and a default voltage VCTRL=2.5V the resulting resistor is:
R SET 
VTHD VCTRL
0 . 1 2 .5

 75m
ILED VREF
1.33 2.5
DC Dimming
The CTRL pin can be driven by an external DC voltage (VCTRL), to adjust the output current to a value below the nominal average value defined by
RSET. The LED current decreases linearly with the CTRL voltage when 0.5V ≤ VCTRL ≤ 2.5V, as shown on page 4 for 4 different current levels.
Note that 100% brightness setting corresponds to VCTRL = VREF, nominally 2.5V. For any voltage applied on the CTRL pin that is higher than VREF,
the device will not overdrive the LED current and will still set the current according to the equation VCTRL = VREF.
When the CTRL voltage falls below the threshold, 0.4V, the output switch is turned off which allows PWM dimming.

Application Information (cont.)
PWM Dimming
LED current can be adjusted digitally, by applying a low frequency Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) logic signal to the CTRL pin to turn the device on
and off. This will produce an average output current proportional to the duty cycle of the control signal. In particular, a PWM signal with a max
resolution of 10bit can be applied to the CTRL pin to change the output current to a value below the nominal average value set by resistor RSET. To
achieve this resolution the PWM frequency has to be lower than 500Hz, however higher dimming frequencies can be used - at the expense of
dimming dynamic range and accuracy.
Typically, for a PWM frequency of 500Hz the accuracy is better than 1% for PWM ranging from 1% to 100%.

Application Information (cont.)
Soft Start
The AL8806 does not have in-built soft-start action – this provides very fast turn off of the output the stage improving PWM dimming accuracy;
nonetheless, adding an external capacitor from the CTRL pin to ground will provide a soft-start delay. This is achieved by increasing the time taken
for the CTRL voltage to rise to the turn-on threshold and by slowing down the rate of rise of the control voltage at the input of the comparator.
Adding a capacitor increases the time taken for the output to reach 90% of its final value, this delay is 0.1ms/nF, but will impact on the PWM
dimming accuracy depending on the delay introduced.
Figure 4 Soft Start with 22nF Capacitor on CTRL Pin (VIN = 36V, ILED = 667mA, 1 LED)
Reducing Output Ripple
Peak to peak ripple current in the LED(s) can be reduced, if required, by shunting a capacitor C2 across the LED(s) as shown already in the circuit
schematic.
A value of 1μF will reduce the supply ripple current by a factor three (approx.). Proportionally lower ripple can be achieved with higher capacitor
values. Note that the capacitor will not affect operating frequency or efficiency, but it will increase
start-up delay, by reducing the rate of rise of
LED voltage. By adding this capacitor the current waveform through the LED(s) changes from a triangular ramp to a more sinusoidal version
without altering the mean current value.

Application Information (cont.)
Capacitor Selection
The small size of ceramic capacitors makes them ideal for AL8806 applications. X5R and X7R types are recommended because they retain their
capacitance over wider voltage and temperature ranges than other types such as Z5U.
A 2.2μF input capacitor is sufficient for most intended applications of AL8806; however a 4.7μF input capacitor is suggested for input voltages
approaching 30V.
Diode Selection
For maximum efficiency and performance, the rectifier (D1) should be a fast low capacitance Schottky diode with low reverse leakage at the
maximum operating voltage and temperature. The Schottky diode also provides better efficiency than silicon PN diodes, due to a combination of
lower forward voltage and reduced recovery time.
It is important to select parts with a peak current rating above the peak coil current and a continuous current rating higher than the maximum output
load current. In particular, it is recommended to have a diode voltage rating at least 15% higher than the operating voltage to ensure safe operation
during the switching and a current rating at least 10% higher than the average diode current. The power rating is verified by calculating the power
loss through the diode.
Schottky diodes, e.g. B240 or B140, with their low forward voltage drop and fast reverse recovery, are the ideal choice for AL8806 applications.
Thermal and Layout Considerations
For continuous conduction mode of operation, the absolute maximum junction temperature must not be exceeded. The maximum power dissipation
depends on several factors: the thermal resistance of the IC package JA, PCB layout, airflow surrounding the IC, and difference between junction
and ambient temperature.
The maximum power dissipation can be calculated using the following formula:
where
TJ(MAX) is the maximum operating junction temperature,
TA is the ambient temperature, and
JA is the junction to ambient thermal resistance.
The recommended maximum operating junction temperature, TJ, is 125°C and so maximum ambient temperature is determined by the AL8806’s
junction to ambient thermal resistance, JA. To support high LED drive at higher ambient temperatures the AL8806 has been packaged in thermally
enhanced MSOP-8EP package.
JA, is layout dependent and the AL8806’s JA in MSOP-8EP on a
1600
approximately 69°C/W.
Therefore the maximum power dissipation at TA = +25°C is:
PD(MAX ) 

As the ambient temperature increases and/or the PCB area reduces
the maximum allowable power dissipated by the AL8806 will
decrease.

PCB Layout
When laying out the PCB for the AL8806 the following should be observed:
1.
The decoupling capacitor C1 has to be placed as close as possible to VIN
2.
The sense resistor, RSET, has to be placed as close as possible to VIN and SET
3.
The anode of the freewheel diode (D1), the SW pin and the inductor have to be placed as close as possible to each other to avoid ringing.

The AL8806 has two evaluation boards available on request (AL8806EV4 and AL8806EV6). Information can be found on the Diodes website and
from a Diodes’ sales representative.
Application Example
A typical application example for the AL8806 is the MR16 lamp; which normally operate from 12VDC or 12VAC supplies, using conventional
electromagnetic transformers or electronic transformers.
As a replacement for MR16 halogen lamps, LED lamps offer a more energy efficient solution - radiating no heat and no Ultra Violet light. The low
thermal impedance of the AL8806 and its 1.5A switch capability allows it drive some of the latest multi-die LEDs; which increases the lamp’s
luminance.
This application example is intended to fit into the base connector space of an MR16 style LED lamp. The design has been optimized for part count
and thermal performance for a multi-die LED in the Lens section as well as EMI conformance.

Application Information (cont.)
Application Example (cont.)
The output of the 12V transformer is fed into the bridge rectifier, comprising of D2, D3, D4 and D5. C10 offers an optional EMI filtering at the input.
(see figure 9)
Capacitor, CBULK, (capacitors C1 and C2 on the PCB and BOM are multiple components to reduce size) forms the bulk reservoir capacitance used to sustain operation of the device during the low part of the rectified AC wave. In the case of a system driving two LEDs at 1.1A, one 470µF
plus 47µF capacitors are required.
Capacitors C3 and C9 provide local decoupling for the AL8806 and for the schottky freewheeling diode, D1. It is important that C3 is as close as
possible to the AL8806’s VIN pin and that C9 is as close to the VIN and shottky diode as possible, as reflected in the layout shown below in figure 8.
The LED current is determined by the total resistance between the VIN and SET pins (R1 and R2 in figures 7 (schematic) and 8 (top PCB) and
BOM).
C4 decouples the LED connections, again to minimize EMI, as well as smoothing the current.
D1 operates as the freewheeling diode, providing a current path for the LED current when the power switch at SW pin is off.
Capacitors C5 to C9, 1.5nF have been added to improve the overall EMI performance. C5 is connected across the Supply pins to reduce radiation
via the wiring. C6 and C7 also assist the reduction of EMI via the wiring. C8 snubs high frequency radiation from the harmonics in the switching
regulator.
A large number of vias have been used to improve the grounding effect throughout the PCB to improve the evaluation board’s EMI performance.
