When the gate capacitance charging of the MOSFET occurs, it generates a current surge, which results in ripple voltage. This could affect operation, therefore, connect a 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor at the REG pin to stabilize operation. Current Control Current control is done by a fixed off-time PWM topology. The output current level can be set by the input voltage on the REF pin, and voltage across the current sense resistor at the SENSE pin. In addition, the fixed off-time can be adjusted by the values selected for the external capacitor and resistor at the TOFF pin. perature increase. When the temperature drops by the hysteresis amount, TTSDhys , or if the supply voltage is recycled, the device returns to normal operation. Note: The primary source of heating is the MOSFET, and there is a delay while the heat spreads to the MIC and is sensed. Therefore, a rapid temperature increase of the MOSFET may damage the device. OCP (Overcurrent Protection) When the SENSE pin input voltage reaches the OCP threshold, VOCP , it shuts off the output and shifts into latch mode. In order to release from latch mode, cycle the device power supply. Note: OCP is for protecting the device from excess current. OCP may not work at an LED-short condition because the coil may suppress current increase. UVLO (Undervoltage Lock Out) Internal Switching Logic This prevents the device from malfunctioning by shutting down the output circuit when the internal supply voltage becomes lower than the ULVO threshold voltage, VUVLO . In addition, the UVLO circuit is used for the power-on reset function of overcurrent protection (OCP). The device turns the MOSFET gate driver circuit on or off based on the status of the current control sensing circuit and the protection circuits. TSD (Thermal Shutdown) This comprises the MOSFET gate driver circuit. When the main control chip (MIC) temperature exceeds the TSD threshold temperature, TTSD , the device shuts off the output (system logic continues to operate), in order to avoid abnormal tem- The two device versions in the LC5200 series are distinguished from each other by the MOSFET current rating. Select the current rating that best matches the application circuit.

The values of the external components are shown in the adjacent table. Component Value Setting LED LED current should not exceed the LC5200 device current Input Line Filter ratings. Set the total voltage drop across the LED string to be less than VBB; otherwise, the LED string turns off. As a general design rule, the PWM off-time should be longer if there is a small drop in voltage across the LED string, and it should be shorter if there is a high drop in voltage across the LED string. For the LC5205D, a 9 to 30 V drop across the LED string is recommended for proper operation. CO Di Reg ROff R1 Toff Ref COff R2 LED VBB LC5200 OUT GND L Sen RS C1 Figure 1.

The higher the inductance of this component, the less ripple amplitude the output current has. In general, 0.5 to 20 mH is recommended. Also ensure the coil does not saturate at the peak of the ripple current. Saturation causes high surge current and it could cause damage to the LEDs or the device. Di This diode provides a path for recirculation current. If a diode with slow recovery characteristics is used, it will cause surge current when the MOSFET turns on, as well as noise increase and device malfunction may result. In addition, it causes efficiency drop. Therefore, the Sanken RL3A ultrafast recovery diode, or a diode of better or equal recovery characteristics (50 ns), is recommended. CO This is the main supply voltage rectifying capacitor. The greater the capacitance, the less ripple voltage occurs. In addition, because higher output power causes an increase of the ripple voltage, choose a proper value of capacitance for the output power. Even if the capacitance is low (like 1000 pF) and the ripple voltage becomes high, the device works. It also makes possible a non-electrolytic capacitor design, which results in lengthening unit life and reducing unit size and cost. However, if the bottom of the ripple voltage falls below the LC5200 UVLO threshold, or below the voltage drop of the LED string, the LEDs are turned off during that period. C1 This capacitor is for stabilizing the internal regulator circuit operation. Connect a 0.1 μF capacitor as close to the device as possible in order to operate the MOSFET properly. Using a small capacitance value causes slow switching speed and malfunctioning, however, a large value of capacitance causes slow startup. R1, R2, RS These determine the LED peak current, according to the following formula: IPEAK = VREG × R2 / ( [ R1 + R2 ] × RS ) For example, if the target is an IPEAK of 0.35 A, the formula becomes: IPEAK ≈ 12 (V) × 20 (kΩ) / ([20 (kΩ) + 680 (kΩ) ] × 1 Ω) = 0.35 A Based on it, R1 = 20 kΩ, R2 = 680 kΩ, and RS = 1 Ω can be determined. Note that R1 and R2 cause power consumption by the internal regulator. Therefore, follow the formula below in order to minimize the power consumption: ( R1 + R2 ) > 500 kΩ In actual design, the current peak tends to be higher than the estimated value, due to internal circuit delays. This becomes obvious at high di/dt conditions, which can result from high VBB or from low coil inductance. With regard to the resistor RS, because output current runs through it, use a resistor rated for 2 to 3 times higher than the power dissipation. ROFF, COFF These decide PWM off-time, TPOFF. Figure 2 shows PWM off-time curves based on various values of Coff and Roff. PWM off-time is approximately 20 μs at the recommended values: Roff = 560 kΩ and Coff = 220 pF.

During MOSFET on-time, the current runs through the ION path (shown in red in figure 3, panel A). • MOSFET Turn Off. During on-time, the current increases as the red waveform in panel B, and when it reaches the VSENSE threshold voltage, the MOSFET turns off. • PWM Off Period. During MOSFET off-time, the back EMF occurs on the coil and the energy which is charged on the coil during the on-time is deenergized by the current IOFF running through the path in blue of panel A.

After the fixed off-time, which is set by the external capacitor and resistor at the Toff pin, the MOSFET turns on again, and repeats the above operations. Figure 4 shows the current control circuit and figure 5 shows the timing diagram of that circuit. When the MOSFET turns on, both the load current and VSen, across the sensing resistor RS, increase. Comp2 compares VSen and VRef and its output is inverted at VSen > VRef (see point A in figure 5). This resets the latter RS latch and it results in turning off the MOSFET after the signal goes through several logic circuits. At the same time, Coff at the Toff pin is discharged by the internal MOS switch, and when the Comp1 inverting input (linked to the Toff pin) voltage becomes lower than 2 V, Comp1 output is inverted and it sets the RS latch. This turns off the MOS switch and initiates the charging process of Coff by Roff. Coff voltage (Toff pin) increases by it and when its voltage reaches 3 V, Comp1 output becomes high and it turns on the MOSFET (point B in figure 5). The Blank Pulse circuit creates periods that mask surge or ringing noise, from turn off edge to just after the turn on edge, for securing proper PWM operation. 2V R Off Toff ON OFF B (B) Figure 5.

The LC5200 series provides fixed offtime PWM current control operation, allowing implementation of an LED constant-current control circuit with only a small quantity of external components. The output current is calculated by the formula below: IO = VREF / RS Based on this formula, there are two methods of LED current control available: ▫ Analog control, varying the REF pin voltage as shown in figure 6, panel A) ▫ PWM integrated control, inputting external PWM signal through a low pass filter (LPF) and connecting the output to the REF pin (figure 6, panel B) In either method, the TOFF pin voltage is used to turn the MOSFET on or off, therefore, the circuit in figure 6, panel C also works to adjust the output current by the external signal. In this application, when the external small signal MOSFET turns on, LC5200 stops an output pulse. • External PWM Control. In this method of control, the LC5200 allows direct on/off control of the MOSFET, for synchronizing PWM operation among LED arrays or for other reasons. With this method, a pull-up shunt is connected from the REF pin to the regulator output as shown figure 7. The capacitor and resistor are removed from the TOFF pin, and instead the PWM signal is input to the TOFF pin. Note that for this method, the internal peak current control is disabled; therefore, it requires an external current control circuit for constant current operation. However, overcurrent protection is still in active to protect the LC5200 and LEDs from excessive current. The TOFF pin threshold has hysteresis characteristics: from < 2 V to MOSFET off, and from > 3 V to MOSFET on. Therefore, use 5 V CMOS compatible input for the control.

LC5200 series does not respond to this type of dimmers because it does not have function to create the holding current during phase off period. Power Factor Improvement Making the LED current proportional to the AC input voltage improves the power factor, and it can be realized using LC5200 series REF pin function. Figure 8 shows the application circuit. There is no AC rectification capacitor, and R2 and R3 divide the AC voltage to create a proportional low voltage as the AC voltage vBB Optional clamp diode for the REF pin. This way, LED current follows the AC voltage shape and improves the power factor. In case the REF voltage fluctuates widely, place a clamp diode in parallel with R2 to protect the REF pin. In that case, the REF voltage becomes distorted (lower waveform in figure 8) and could cause the power factor to decrease. Figure 9 shows actual waveforms of the operation. Panel A shows operation with fixed REF pin voltage, and panel B shows operation with AC proportional REF pin voltage. For both operations, there is no AC rectification capacitor used. The yellow waveform is the AC input current, and the black waveform is a 2 kHz low pass filtered waveform. In panel B, the current forms a sine waveform, which means the power factor is improved.
