NCV7691GEVB NCV7691 Current Controller with Automotive LED Lamps in Sequencing Application Evaluation Board User'sManual http://onsemi.com EVAL BOARD USER’S MANUAL Description Automotive turn signals are sometimes designed to display an indicator in a fashion such that lights are activated in a sequencing manner to show directional intent. This evaluation note highlights the use of standard logic integrated circuits with the NCV7691 devices to provide a solution for a sequencing design. The system consists of the LED current controllers (NCV7691 x 3), a voltage regulator (NCV8664), a timer IC (NCV1455B), a shift register (MC74HC164A), and a NAND gate (MC74HC20A). The evaluation board has an on−board LED array to highlight a sequencing solution for automotive indicators. An additional 10−pin edge connector allows for connection to external LEDs (often at higher current by modifying the current programming resistors). Features In addition to the NCV7691 part features, this evaluation board highlights the following: • Sequencing Functionality • Open Circuit Reporting ♦ Indicator On−board ♦ Connection for Off−board Communication • External LED Load Connectivity • Bright / Dim Switch for Easy Viewing • 5 V Regulator Output Figure 1.

Board Bottom 1 Publication Order Number: EVBUM2211/D NCV7691GEVB Basic Demonstration Open Circuit Detection Figure 3 provides a representation of the display feature of this evaluation board. 1. When the board is powered, 3 sets of LED strings are initialized in the off state. 2. The 1st string of LEDs turns on. 3. After a delay period, the 2nd string of LEDs turns on while the 1st string remains illuminated. 4. After a similar delay period, the 3rd string of LEDs turns on while the 1st and 2nd string remain illuminated. 5. All 3 strings remain illuminated for an extended period of time. 6. The progression is repeated as all 3 sets of LED strings transition to the off state. The NCV7691 utilizes the voltage feedback network to the FB pin for detection of open circuit conditions to be reported at the FLTS pin. An open circuit condition using this board can be simulated by removing Jumpers J1, J2, and J3. The open circuit is indicated at the on−board LED bar, but J5 may be removed to route the signal off the board if desired. Detection of open circuit conditions require jumpers J8, J9, and J10 to be connected when using the on−board LED array LED loads. The low current setup with the LED array using supplied board resistor values for R3, R7, and R8 of 8.2 W will illuminate each segment of the LED array at 18 mA. The drive capability of the NCV7691 to the base of the external transistor has a value per the datasheet between 14 mA and 30 mA. An open circuit condition might fail to be detected if all of the drive current is directed to the base of the BCP56 device to the emitter of the BCP56 device through to the sense resistors on the FB pins (R3, R7, R8). e.g. If the drive capability of the NCV7691 is 18 mA, and 18 mA is provided to the base, the voltage at the FB pin will be at the regulation voltage (150 mV) with or without an open circuit event. The voltage generated on the FB pin will be high enough for the system to think the device is regulating and no open circuit exists. This is why three jumpers are provided on the demo board (J8, J9, J10). Connecting these jumpers provides a load directly to the base drive node to eliminate some of the base drive so that an open circuit condition will be detected. Figure 3.

Evaluation Board Schematic EVALUATION BOARD SCHEMATIC http://onsemi.com 3 NCV7691GEVB THEORY OF OPERATION The sequencing system design is comprised of all the blocks shown in the diagram below. The Linear regulator provides a 5 V regulated line to the logic ICs (Timer, Shift Register, and NAND gate). The timer provides the clock for the shift register, and the NAND gate provides the required state to the NCV7691 pre−driver devices.

The following figure displays the timing of these outputs relative to the clock input. The NCV1455B timer output is connected to the clock input of the MC74HC164A shift register. At every rising edge of clock, the shift register outputs QA, QB, and QC change. In four clock pulses, the output QAQBQC cycles Figure 6. Shift Register Clock Input and Parallel Data Outputs This is also highlighted in the scope capture of Figure 7. Figure 7. Shift Register (MC74HC164A) Outputs, Pin 3 (yellow), Pin 4 (pink), Pin 5 (blue) The evaluation board includes three NCV7691 current controller ICs that drive one LED string each. Shift register outputs QA, QB, and QC are connected directly to the NCV7691 PWM inputs. When the PWM signal goes high, the driver output goes high and the LEDs turns on. Therefore, when the shift register outputs a signal of 100, LED1 is on. A shift register output of 110 corresponds to LED1 and LED2 turning on, and a signal of 111 will turn all three LEDs on. When QA, QB, and QC are all 0, all three LEDs are off. The MC74HC20A (NAND) device provides the logic necessary to extend the timer when the 111 condition is present in the shift register. The MC74HC20A interfaces to the BSS84L PFET during this condition adding extra capacitance (C7) in the timer circuit (NCV1455B). Automotive turn signal applications frequently use this to indicate a direction, and then hold the signal present for a duration of time longer than the shifted signal. http://onsemi.com 5 NCV7691GEVB ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS The operation of the NCV7691 sequencer evaluation board works as a standalone presentation for the customer highlighting the sequencing function often used in automotive turn signals. The on−board LED array is used for situations where simplicity is needed. An additional edge−connector can be used for alternative LEDs. Jumpers J1, J2, and J3 provide the interface switch for the edge−connector. Higher currents are assumed to be used with the edge−connector, so extra care must be taken not to reposition the jumpers for high currents through the on−board LED array. Table 1.

Evaluation Board Highlights OPERATIONAL GUIDELINES Using the Evaluation Board with external LEDs The material necessary to successfully use the evaluation boards is listed below: • NCV7691 Evaluation Board • 14 V Power Supply Capable of driving 1 A. 1. Calculate the programming resistor value you need by referring to the NCV7691/D datasheet. a.) At nominal operating voltages the equation for programming current is 0.15 V/Rx where Rx is the equivalent resistance from the NCV7691 FB pin to ground. b.) On the board, using switch SW1 disengaged (DIM), the resistors are R3 (for LED1), R7 (for LED2), and R8 (for LED3). When the switch is engaged (BRIGHT) a resistor is put in parallel with the DIM resistor value. These are R14 (for LED1), R15 (for LED2), and R16 (for LED3). Connect a 14 V power supply to the power supply connections. The board should start working immediately. Evaluation Board Options 1. Open Circuit Jumper and Post. Allows disconnection from the drain of the open circuit indicator from the LED array to an external connection. 2. External LED edge connector. Connection for use with external LEDs. Note, the On−board / Off−board jumpers should be moved to the right for off−board connection. Reference the NCV7691/D datasheet for details on choosing a resistor value. 3. Bright / Dim Control. Controls a parallel connection for a programming current resistor for viewing ease. 4. External LED current programming resistors – Current setting resistors for high current switched in with the Bright / Dim dipswitch. 5. On−board / Off−board Jumpers. For setting the board for use with the LED array or an external LED via the edge connector. 6. External LED post connection. Optional connection for external LEDs as an alternative to the edge connector. 7. Vout (5 V). Connection to the 5 V regulator used to power the on−board logic. 2. Once the resistors are mounted on the board, move the jumpers from on−board to off−board (J1, J2, and J3). 3. Connect your external LEDs cathode either through the edge connector or the posts (TP2 [LED1], TP4 [LED2], and TP5[LED3]). The LED anode (string) should be tied to a high voltage (VBB suggested). 4. Connect a 14 V power supply to the power supply connections. The board should start working immediately. http://onsemi.com 7 NCV7691GEVB Table 4.
