C ie Rev.D.01 7 AME AME5144 n Detailed Description The high efficiency and small size of the AME5144 make them ideally suited to driver up to ten series-connected LEDs. They operate as a boost DC-DC converter that controls output current rather than voltage. A low 300mV current-sense threshold minimized the losses. The AME5144 provide even illumination by sourcing the same output current through each LED, eliminating the need for expensive factory calibration. The fast 1MHz internal oscillator allows for small inductor and small input and output capacitors while minimizing input and output ripple. The single analog control input (CTRL) allows easy adjustment of LED brightness and on/off control. This allows simple logic-level on/off control, analog voltage control, or PWM duty-cycle control of both brightness and shutdown. In shutdown, supply current is reduced to a low 0.3µA (Typ.). A soft-start gradually illuminates the LEDs, eliminating the inrush current during startup. Shutdown The AME5144 enter shutdown when VCTRL is less than 100mV for more than 8.2ms. When shutdown, the supply current is reduced to 0.3µA (Typ.) approximately. The 0.3uA supply current is applied for the voltage-detection circuitry. CCOMP is discharge during shutdown, allowing the device to reinitiate soft-start when enabled. Although the internal n-channel MOSFET does not switch in shutdown, there is still a DC current path between the input and the LEDs through the inductor and Schottky diode. The minimum forward voltage of the LED array must exceed the maximum input voltage to ensure that the LEDs remain off in shutdown. However, with two or more LEDs, the forward voltage is enough to keep leakage current low, less than 1µA (Typ.). Soft-Start The AME5144 attain soft-start by charging CCOMP gradually with a current source. When V COMP rises above 1.25V, the internal MOSFET begins switching at a reduced duty cycle. When VCOMP rises above 2.25V, the duty cycle is at its maximum. See the Typical Operation Characteristics for an example of soft-start operation. 8 High Efficiency, 37V Step-Up Converter for 2 to 10 White LEDs Over Voltage Protection OVP is designed to prevent the output voltage from exceeding the maximum switch voltage rating of 38.5V (Typ.). The protection circuitry stops the internal MOSFET from switching. There is a 1.5V hysteresis associated with this circuitry which will cause the output to fluctuate between 38.5V and 37V. Adjusting LED Current Adjusting the output current of the AME5144 changes the brightness of the LEDs. An analog input (CTRL) and the sense-resistor values set the output current. Output current is given by: ILED =VCTRL/(5xRSENSE) The VCTRL voltage range for adjusting output current is 0.24V to 1.65V. To set maximum current, calculate RSENSE when VCTRL is at its maximum as follows: RSENSE=1.65V / (5 x ILED ) Power dissipation in RSENSE is typical less than 10mW, allowing the use of small surface-mount resistor. PWM Dimming Control A. Using DC Signal for CTRL Pin For CTRL, applying a DC signal in the range of 0.24V to 1.65V control the LED current. CTRL can be overdriven; however, applying a CTRL greater than 1.65V does not increased the LED current above the level at 1.65V. B. Using PWM signal forc CTRL pin The CTRL input is used as a digital input allowing LED brightness control with a logic-level PWM signal applied directly to CTRL. The frequency range is from 200Hz to 30KHz, while 0% duty cycle corresponds to minimum current, and 100% duty cycle corresponds to full current. The error amplifier and compensation capacitor form a low pass filter so PWM dimming results in DC current to the LEDs without the need for any additional RC filters. Rev. D.01 AME High Efficiency, 37V Step-Up Converter for 2 to 10 White LEDs AME5144 Capacitor Selection Schottky Diode Selection Ceramic capacitors with X5R, X7R, or better dielectric are recommended for stable operation over the entire operating temperature range. The exact values of input and output capacitors are not critical. The typical value for input capacitor is 2.2µF, and the typical value for output capacitor is 0.1µF. Higher values capacitors can be used to reduce input and output ripple, but at the expense of size and higher cost. CCOMP stabilizes the converter and control soft-start. Connect a 0.1µF capacitor from COMP to GND. Inductor values range from 10µH to 47µH. A 22µH inductor optimizes the efficiency for most applications while maintaining low 12mVp-p input ripple. Inductor with low DCR can be more efficiency. To prevent core saturation, ensure that the inductor-saturation current rating exceeds the peak inductor current for the application. Calculate the peak inductor current with the following formula: VOUT ( MAX ) × I LED( MAX ) 0.9 × VIN ( MIN ) I DIODE( RMS) = I OUT × I PEAK 200mA, 40V Schottky diode SOD-523 or Central Semiconductor CMOSH-4E are recommended for applications. Inductor Selection I PEAK = The high switching frequency of the AME5144 demands a high-speed rectification diode (D1) for optimum efficiency. A Schottky diode is recommended due to its fast recovery time and low forward-voltage drop. Ensure that the diode's average and peak current rating exceed the average output current and peak inductor current. In addition, the diode's reverse breakdown voltage must exceed V OUT. The RMS diode current can be approximated from: + VIN ( MIN ) × 0.9us 2× L Layout Consideration Due to fast switching waveforms and high-current paths, careful PC board layout is required. When laying out a board, minimum trace lengths between the IC and RSENSE, the inductor, the diode, the input capacitor and output capacitor. Keep trace short and wide. Keep noisy traces, such as the SW node trace, away from CS. 22µH, 250mA inductor Murata LQH32CN220K and The input bypass capacitor CIN should be placed as close C to the IC as possible. This will reduce copper trace resisSumida CDRH5D16NP- 220MB are recommended. tance, which effect the input voltage ripple of the IC. The output capacitor, COUT, should also be placed close to the i e IC and connected directly between the OUT and GND pins. PGND and GND should be connected directly to the exposed paddle underneath the IC. The ground connections of CIN and COUT should be as close together as possible. Any copper trace connections with the COUT capacitor can increase the series resistance which directly effects output ripple and efficiency. The current setting resistor, RSENSE, should be kept close to the CS pin to minimize copper trace connections that can inject noise in to the system. The traces from IN to the inductor and from Schottky diode to the LEDs can be longer. Rev.D.01 9 AME High Efficiency, 37V Step-Up Converter for 2 to 10 White LEDs AME5144 Duty Cycle The maximum duty cycle of the switching regulator determines the maximum boost ratio of output-to-input voltage that the converter can attain in mode of operation. The duty cycle for a given boost application is defined as: This applies for continuous mode operation. D= VOUT + VDIODE - V IN VOUT + VDIODE - VSW Calculating Load Current The load current is related to the average inductor current by the relation: ILOAD = IIND (AVG) x (1 - D) Where “ D” is the duty cycle of the application. The switch current can be found by: ISW = IIND (AVG) + 1 /2 (IRIPPLE) Inductor ripple current is dependent on inductance, duty cycle, input voltage and frequency: IRIPPLE = D x (V IN-V SW) / (f x L) Combining all terms, we can develop an expression which allows the maximum available load current to be calculated: ILOAD = ( 1-D ) x ( ISW (max) - 10 D ( VIN-VSW ) ) 2fL Rev.
