To optimize the LED brightness control at high temperatures, the LEDs must have a sufficient thermal extraction path, if not the reduction in drive current will not be optimal. The thermal control threshold points are set by adjusting R2. Three values (33K, 22K, and 10K) were tested. These values were chosen to provide thermal break points of approximately 25ºC, 40ºC, and 60ºC. Note, that the LED drive current will not continually dim to zero – the thermal controls applying DC control to that VADJ pin has a dimming ratio from maximum current of approximately 5:1. Once the reduced DC level drops below the shutdown threshold of around 200mV, the LED drive current will fall to zero and the LEDs will be off. The slope of the current reduction is determined by the beta value of the thermistor. The larger the Beta value the sharper will be the resultant current control response. The slope of the current reduction is also affected by Q1’s base emitter voltage variation with temperature. www.aimtec.com F 051e R9 Tel: +1 514 620 2722 6 of 11 Toll free: + 1 888 9 AIMTEC (924 6832) North America only Series AMLDLW-Z Up to 1000mA | LED Driver Output Current Adjustment By External DC Control Voltage: +Vout 1N4148 6.2K VADJ 1.25V 1st LED AMLDLW-Z 1 10K 1 -Vout -Vin Last LED 1 GND +Vout 1N4148 6.2K VADJ 1.25V 1st LED AMLDLW-Z 1 1 -Vout 10K -Vin Last LED 1 GND +Vout 1N4148 1st LED AMLDLW-Z 1 -Vout 1 +5V ~ +Vin 6.2K VADJ 1.25V 10K -Vin Last LED 1 GND 4.7K +Vout 1N4148 TL431 OUT: 0 ~ 2.5V 1st LED AMLDLW-Z 1 -Vout 1 1 6.2K VADJ 1.25V 10K 10K -Vin Last LED 1 GND GND +Vout 1N4148 6.2K VADJ 1.25V 1st LED AMLDLW-Z 1 1 -Vout 10K -Vin Last LED 1 GND +Vout 1N4148 6.2K VADJ 1.25V 1st LED AMLDLW-Z 1 1 -Vout 10K -Vin Last LED 1 GND www.aimtec.com F 051e R9 Tel: +1 514 620 2722 7 of 11 Toll free: + 1 888 9 AIMTEC (924 6832) North America only Series AMLDLW-Z Up to 1000mA | LED Driver Typical Characteristics: AMLDLW-3035Z Operating Frequency vs Input Voltage (Forward Voltage = 3.5V per LED) Frequency (KHz) Efficiency vs Vin (Forward Voltage = 3.5V per LED) Efficiency (%) 7 LED 95.00 375 5 LED 350 6 LED 4 LED 325 90.00 3 LED 300 275 2 LED 85.00 250 225 80.00 200 175 150 75.00 125 1 LED 1 LED 100 75 50 25 1 LED 70.00 3 LED 2 LED 5 LED 6 LED 4 LED 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 7 LED Vin (V) 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 Vin (V) Output Current Vs VADJ ILED (mA) 375 350 325 300 275 250 225 200 175 150 125 100 75 50 25 0 0 0.25 0.35 0.45 0.55 0.65 0.75 0.85 0.95 1.05 1.15 1.25 1.3 1.35 VADJ (V) www.aimtec.com F 051e R9 Tel: +1 514 620 2722 8 of 11 Toll free: + 1 888 9 AIMTEC (924 6832) North America only Series AMLDLW-Z Up to 1000mA | LED Driver Typical Characteristics: AMLDLW-3050Z Frequency (KHz) Efficiency (%) Operating Frequency vs Input Voltage (Forward Voltage = 3.5V per LED) Efficiency vs Vin (Forward Voltage = 3.5V per LED) 100.00% 350 325 95.00% 300 3 LED 2 LED 4 LED 5 LED 6 LED 7 LED 275 250 90.00% 225 1LED 200 85.00% 175 150 80.00% 125 1 LED 100 75 1 LED 50 5 LED 3 LED 2 LED 6 LED 4 LED 7 LED 75.00% 25 70.00% 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 Vin (V) Vin (V) Output Current Vs VADJ ILED (mA) 600 500 400 300 200 100 0 0 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 0.8 0.9 1 1.1 1.2 1.3 VADJ (V) www.aimtec.com F 051e R9 Tel: +1 514 620 2722 9 of 11 Toll free: + 1 888 9 AIMTEC (924 6832) North America only Series AMLDLW-Z Up to 1000mA | LED Driver Typical Characteristics: AMLDLW-3070Z Operating Frequency vs Input Frequency (KHz) Efficiency (%) (Forward Voltage = 3.5V per LED)) Efficiency vs Vin (Forward Voltage = 3.5V per LED) 100% 350 325 300 275 95% 250 90% 225 3 LED 4 LED 5 LED 6 LED 7 LED 2 LED 1 LED 200 175 85% 150 80% 125 100 75 1 LED 50 2 LED 5 LED 3 LED 4 LED 25 75% 7 LED 6 LED 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 70% 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 Vin (V) Vin (V) Output Current Vs VADJ ILED (mA) 700 600 500 400 300 200 100 0 0.05 0.15 0.25 0.35 0.45 0.55 0.65 0.75 0.85 0.95 1.05 1.15 1.25 VADJ (V) www.aimtec.com F 051e R9 Tel: +1 514 620 2722 10 of 11 Toll free: + 1 888 9 AIMTEC (924 6832) North America only Series AMLDLW-Z Up to 1000mA | LED Driver Typical Characteristics: AMLDLW-30100Z Frequency (KHz) Operating Frequency vs Input Voltage (Forward Voltage = 3.5V per LED) Efficiency (%) Efficiency vs Vin (Forward Voltage = 3.5V per LED) 100% 300 275 95% 250 225 3 LED 4 LED 5 LED 6 LED 7 LED 2 LED 90% 200 175 85% 150 125 100 1 LED 80% 1 LED 75 75% 3 LED 50 2 LED 25 7 8 5 LED 4 LED 7 LED 6 LED 70% 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 Vin (V) Vin (V) ILED (mA) Output Current Vs VADJ 1100 1000 900 800 700 600 500 400 300 200 100 0 0 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 0.8 0.9 1 1.1 1.2 1.3 VADJ (V) NOTE: 1.
