The SEPIC topology has the advantage over a flyback converter in that it clamps the switching waveforms on the power semiconductor, allowing the use of lower voltage and hence more efficient parts. This provides an estimated 2% improvement in efficiency in this application. Additionally, there is less ringing in the SEPIC, making EMI filtering easier. The LED-lighting circuit uses the UCC28810 transition-mode boost controller to shape the input-current waveform. The circuit starts by charging C6 off the line. Once the controller is running, its power is provided by an auxiliary winding on the SEPIC inductor. A relatively large output capacitor limits LED ripple current to 20% of the DC current. As a side note, the AC flux and currents in the transition-mode SEPIC are quite high, so Litz wire and low-loss Key Features • Non-isolated single LED string driver • 92% efficient solution • SEPIC control boosts for high voltage • Natural single stage with >0.9 PFC • Low-cost solution with few external parts • Meets European harmonic requirements core material are required to reduce inductor losses. The following material presents lab results from a prototype that was built to match the schematic. Efficiency is quite high over the European line range, peaking at 92%. This good efficiency was achieved by limiting the ringing on the power semiconductors. Also, as can be seen from the current waveform, the power factor is quite good at over 96%. Interestingly, the waveform is not purely sinusoidal but shows some steepness on the rising and falling edges. This is because the circuit measures switch current but not input current. However, the waveform is good enough to pass the European requirements for harmonic currents.

The default white-LED (WLED) current is set with the external sensor resistor RSET, and the feedback voltage is regulated to 200 mV. In either digital or PWM dimming, the output ripple of TPS61165 at the output capacitor is small and does not generate audible noises associated with common on/off control dimming. For protection during open-LED conditions, the TPS61165 disables switching to prevent the output from exceeding the absolute maximum ratings. incorporates the necessary thermal and overcurrent protections and has loaddisconnect feature. used for driving three 1-W LEDs or multiple 50-mA LEDs whos total power input does not exceed 3 W. Key considerations for this design are high efficiency and good LED-current regulation. The TPS61165 operates in a constant-current mode to regulate the LED current. The CTRL pin is used for the control input for both digital and PWM dimming. The dimming mode for the TPS61165 is selected each time the device is enabled. Analog dimming has been implemented by varying the feedback reference. A 20-kΩ variable resistor can be used to vary the LED current to achieve dimming. The converter boosts 6 to 10.5 V at 350 mA and has minimum conversion efficiency of 85%.

Description High-brightness LEDs are becoming more and more prevalent in all facets of life. Linear drivers are great for simple applications that do not require very high efficiency and for applications that must have little or no electromagnetic interference (EMI). Pulse-width modulation (PWM) is used for dimming in some of these applications but can also introduce EMI. This reference design uses a simple linear LED driver for high-brightness applications and demonstrates one of several methods of controlling dimming without the introduction of EMI. Figure 2 demonstrates the TL4242 used with the TS3A4742 to produce an LED dimming circuit capable of switching between 200, 250, 300 and Figure 1.

If RREF is set to 2 W, then the corresponding IOUT will be 88.5 mA. Q TPS7A4533 GND The TL4242 is a linear constant-current single-channel LED driver capable of sourcing up to 500 mA. The TL4242 is capable of running from a supply of up to 42 V so that a large LED string can be driven through a single device. Figure 1 shows a simple example of the TL4242 used to drive four LEDs (typical VF = 3.5 V). In this design, the PWM pin is used only to enable and disable the TL4242. The current is set through a very simple relationship between the sense resistor (RREF) and the voltage at the REF pin (VREF): 350 mA. Changing RREFP, RREFS1 and RREFS2 provides a wide variety of dimming levels. RREFS1 and RREFS2 must be chosen with the RON of the switch in mind. Note that each leg has the same current when it is on, regardless of the other legs’ current. and normally closed operation. Care must be taken to keep the channel current under 100 mA.

The TL4242 also monitors the LED string for an open condition and sets the status (ST) pin if an open is detected. To enable dimming without PWM, RREF must be changed and is easily manipulated with a simple analog switch. The TS3A4742 is chosen (see Figure 2) because of its low (typically 0.7-W) RON, high-current (100-mA) capability, dual-switch configuration Switched Reference Resistors Primary Reference Resitor (RREFP) (RREFS1) (RREFS2) Equivalent Resistance (RREF) Nominal Output Current (IOUT) 0.885 W 1.77 W 3.54 W 0.506 W 350 mA 0.885 W 1.77 W Open 0.590 W 300 mA 0.885 W Open 3.54 W 0.708 W 250 mA 0.885 W Open Open 0.885 W 200 mA Note: RREFS1 and RREFS2 include RON of the TS3A4742.

This also permits dual brightness; but the current through the TS3A4742 is limited to 100 mA per channel, so the brightness will be lower than when the channels are in parallel. 2). This is a simple automotive taillight solution for on/off and braking. The tail light is on when PWM is high (push-button 1 is not depressed). The brightness of the tail light is normal when push-button 2 is not depressed and brighter when it is depressed. Choosing a dual switch with a low RON allows the user to connect both channels in parallel, thereby reducing the effective RON. This parallel approach can reduce the TS3A4742’s typical RON to 0.35 W. Figure 3 shows an example using this parallel approach to generate a dualbrightness design. This application uses a 0.65-W resistor (RREFS1) in series with both switches, creating an effective RREF of 1-W. This leg will sink 177 mA (88.5 mA through each switch) when on. Care must be taken to keep the current through the analog switch below the maximum allowed. Additionally, the power dissipation in the switch package must be considered. In the case of the TS3A4742, the maximum continuous current is 100 mA per channel. Figure 3 also removes the controller and replaces it with simple pushbutton switches. This design allows a single button (or other manual control) to enable the LEDs (simple push-button 1) and another to set the brightness level (simple push-button Web Links Another option is to hook up the switches in a serial manner (see Figure 4), thereby doubling the Datasheets, user’s guides, samples: www.ti.com/sc/device/TL4242 Figure 4.

Description The TLC5917 is an 8-channel, constant-current LED driver capable of up to 120 mA per channel. This is a great fit when an application requires a constant LED current that is independent of input voltage, temperature and differences in LED forward-voltage drops resulting from uncontrolled manufacturing processes. The outputs can also be tied in parallel when needed to drive high-brightness LEDs. Communication is accomplished through a basic serial port. Many applications do not have the capability for generating even simple serial commands. This reference design allows a user to overcome this issue with a simple 555 timer. The TLC5917 drives eight independent constant-current sinks. Normally, a microprocessor drives the /OE (output enable), SDI (serial data input), CLK (clock) and LE (latch) pins with four separate GPIO pins, which allows the current sink to be independently turned on and off. If independent LED control is not needed, the TLC5917 can be turned on with a single clock signal or a 555 timer. • /OE (output enable)—This pin enables and disables all outputs. • SDI (serial data input)—The data clocked into this pin programs each output to be on or off. • CLK (clock)—The rising edge of the clock shifts SDI data into internal shift registers. • LE (latch)—The falling edge of LE latches data from the internal shift registers into the internal on/off latches. Close examination of the TLC5917 timing diagram reveals that a single PWM signal can replace the CLK and LE inputs because the rising edge of CLK shifts data into the IC and the falling edge of LE latches the data. Figure 1 shows how to configure the TLC5917 to operate from a single clock signal. /OE must be connected to ground to enable the IC. The SDI pin can be connected to VCC to shift 1’s into the IC to turn all outputs on, and can be connected to ground to shift all 0’s into the IC to turn all outputs off. The CLK and LE pins can be connected to any type of PWM signal. Turn-on and turn-off times with this circuit depend on the clock frequency. At power up, the TLC5917’s internal on/off latches that turn each output on or off default to “0”, so these latches must be set to “1” before the outputs turn on. Each rising and falling edge of the clock signal sequentially turns on each output, starting with OUT0. Therefore, it takes eight clock cycles to turn all LEDs on. Pulling SDI low turns all LEDs off after eight clock cycles. Figure 2 shows how the TLC5917 responds to turn-on and turn-off when it is configured as shown in Figure 1. Note that Figure 1 shows all the TLC5917 outputs connected in parallel to drive a single high-brightness LED. The TLC5917 outputs can either drive eight independent LEDs or be connected in parallel to drive higherpower LEDs. In Figure 1, R3 = 178W, which sets each output current at 105.3 mA. Connecting all outputs in parallel yields 105.3 mA x 8 = 842.4 mA of LED current. This same approach can be used for any of the 8- and 16-channel TLC59xx families, including the TLC5916/25/26/27 and TLC59025.

This reference design demonstrates how to remotely manage the color output of an LED lamp with a low-power wireless controller. The color is generated by three LEDs (red, green and blue). An MSP430™ ultralow-power microcontroller controls the brightness of each LED with constant current generated by three TPS62260 buck converters, one for each LED. The color look-up table takes the form of an array stored in the MSP430. Whenever the rotary encoder is turned, new red, green and blue values are read from the array and used to generate the three PWM output signals. Currently 252 values are stored, which can be changed if desired. A decimal value of 100 switches the LED off, and a value of 65535 produces a mark-space ratio of 100%. When the 5-V supply is applied, MSP-FET430UIF tools can be found respectively at: the design goes into a demonstration mode where the values stored in the array are read and output in sequence in an infinite loop. As soon as the rotary encoder is turned, the sequence stops and a particular fixed color value can be selected. http://focus.ti.com/docs/toolsw/ folders/print/ez430-rf2500.html and http://focus.ti.com/docs/toolsw/ folders/print/msp-fet430uif.html There is a pin header that can be used to plug in the RF board from the MSP430 Wireless Development Tool (the eZ430-RF2500), which is separately available.

During operation, the VBAT drops below the Vf of the LED, and the TPS63000 automatically switches from buck mode to boost mode to create the constant current needed for the LED. The TPS63000 can boost from voltages as low as 1.2 V. A switch that brings R4 into or out of the feedback loop provides a dimming mechanism for the flashlight to toggle between 300 and 600 mA. The TPS63000 provides a powersupply solution for products that use a two- or three-cell alkaline, NiCd or NiMH battery, or a one-cell Li-Ion or Li-Polymer battery. The buck-boost converter is based on a fixed-frequency PWM controller that uses synchronous rectification to obtain maximum efficiency. The maximum average current in the switches is limited to a typical value of 1800 mA, and the converter can be disabled to minimize battery drain. During shutdown, the load is disconnected from the battery. The device is packaged in a 10-pin QFN PowerPAD™ (DRC) package measuring 3 x 3-mm.

The device provides a constant current for up to four unmatched LEDs organized in two banks of two LEDs each in a commoncathode topology. Without an external resistor, the current source defaults to the factory-programmable, preset current level with ±0.5% accuracy (typical). An optional external resistor can be used to set initial brightness to user-programmable values with higher accuracy. Brightness can be varied from off to full brightness by inputting a PWM signal on each enable pin. Each bank has independent enable and brightness control, but the currents of all four channels are matched concurrently. The inputsupply range is ideally suited for single-cell Li-Ion battery supplies, and the TPS7510x can provide up to 25 mA per LED. No internal switching signals are used, eliminating troublesome electromagnetic interference (EMI). The TPS7510x is offered in an ultra-small, 9-ball, 0.4-mm ball-pitch wafer chipscale package (WCSP) and a 2.5 x 2.5-mm, 10-pin SON package, yielding a very compact total solution size ideal for mobile handsets and portable backlighting applications. Figure 2 shows the TPS75105 efficiency data for several different WLED forward voltages over the Li-Ion battery’s range. The LED efficiency for the TPS75105 is comparable to or better than that of other WLEDdriver solutions. At first glance, using a linear LDO circuit to drive LEDs may seem impractical, given the linear regulator’s reputation for low efficiency. However, the efficiency of LDOs is often misunderstood. LDO efficiency is entirely based on the input/outputvoltage ratio; therefore, the efficiency of driving white LEDs (WLEDs) can be quite high. For example, driving a 3-V WLED from a 3.6-V Li-Ion-battery input translates into an LED efficiency of 83%. Figure 3 demonstrates the LED efficiency of the TPS7510x over the Li-Ion battery’s discharge curve. The average efficiency for the entire discharge range is over 80% for all three curves, and up to 90% when VLED = 3.3 V. Figure 1 shows a typical application for the TPS75105. Note that this device requires no external components to drive the WLEDs. The total solution is extremely small and very cost effective.

The TPS61195 provides highly integrated solutions for large-LCD backlights. This device has a builtin, high-efficiency boost regulator with an integrated 2.5-A, 50-V power MOSFET. The eight current-sink regulators provide high-precision current regulation and matching. In total, the device can support up to 96 white LEDs (WLEDs). In addition, the boost output automatically adjusts its voltage to the WLED forward voltage to improve efficiency. The TPS61195 integrates overcurrent protection, short-circuit protection, soft start and overtemperature shutdown. The device also provides programmable output overvoltage protection, and the threshold is adjusted by an external resistor/divider combination. The TPS61195 supports multiple brightness-dimming methods. During direct PWM dimming, the WLED current is turned on/off at the duty cycle, and the frequency is determined by an integrated PWM signal. In PWMdimming mode, the frequency of this signal is resistor-programmable, while the duty cycle is controlled from an external PWM signal input from a PWM pin. In analog mixed dimming modes, the input PWM duty-cycle information is translated into an analog signal to control the WLED current signal linearly over a brightness area of 12.5 to 100%.

Description The TLC59116 is a 16-channel, constant-current LED driver capable of sinking up to 100 mA per channel. External current (IOUT) is programmed by an external resistor (REXT). The device has a serial I2C interface and multiple functions, some of which allow individual pin blinking and global brightness control. Internal brightness and blinking are accomplished by using the TLC59116’s internal oscillator to create digital dimming, commonly referred to as pulse-width-modulation (PWM) dimming. The TLC59116 also has an internal register that can be set to change the brightness “gain” from 99.2% (the default) to 8.3%. This reference design allows any of these options to be used but also has an added load switch for manipulating the REXT to change brightness. This method can also be used to produce blinking between different brightness levels, which cannot be achieved with the TLC59116 alone. LED brightness can be programmed to change depending on the time of day or the level of ambient light. LED dimming can be accomplished through analog or digital methods. In analog dimming, the current through the LED is reduced. In digital (PWM) dimming, the LED is turned on and off at a high frequency. The human eye integrates the on and off brightness in such a way that the LED appears to dim. Changing the frequency and duty cycle of the PWM signal will impact the brightness. For example, an LED application that requires 40 mA to be at full brightness will be at 50% brightness if the analog dimming is set for a drive current of 20 mA or if the PWM operates at a 50% duty cycle. Figure 1 shows the difference between analog and PWM dimming. For the TLC59116 LED driver, IOUT is set by the relationship between the external resistor and the REXT pin’s reference voltage (VREXT), as shown in equation 1. (1) IOUT = VREXT/REXT x 15 Equation 2 solves for REXT. (2) REXT = VREXT/IOUT x 15 The default VEXT value is 1.25 V. The actual value is dependent on the brightness “gain” set by the user via the TLC59116’s internal register. As a result, any manipulation of the current based on REXT is still dependent on the gain. which is higher than the 0.9 V required for operation. The TPS22901’s default is “on” and its resistor is used to compute IOUT, resulting in 80 mA. When the TPS22901 is off (the switch is open), the resulting current changes to 40 mA. The host MSP430 controller can easily control the frequency of the dim/ full-brightness timing. The TPS22900 (dual load switch) can provide up to four brightness levels. Web Links Datasheets, user’s guides, samples: www.ti.com/sc/device/TLC59116 Changing REXT changes the resulting current. For example, if IOUT was set to 80 mA, REXT would be (3) REXT = 1.25 V/80 mA x 15 = 234. Similarly, a 40-mA current would result in an REXT of 468 W. Figure 2 shows a basic configuration for an LED application that requires 40 mA per channel. The 5-V supply is stepped down to 3.3 V by a simple LDO to drive the MSP430™ controller and the TLC59116 LED driver. The 5-V supply powers the LEDs directly. Brightness control is enabled by adding a resistor in parallel with REXT. Adding another 468-W resistor allows IOUT to be doubled from 40 mA to 80 mA. Using an available GPIO line from the MSP430 to the load switch allows the designer to add or remove the extra resistor as desired. Figure 3 shows a simple implementation using a TPS22901 load switch. The TPS22901 load switch fits this dimming-control application because the RON is below 100 mW (negligible in series with 468 W) and VREXT is 1.25 V, For more reference designs, see: www.ti.com/powerreferencedesigns LED Reference Design Cookbook Texas Instruments 2Q 2010 16-Channel LED Driver with Load-Switch Dimming Control 63 TLC59116 ➔ Figure 1.
