AT1314
Preliminary Product Information
High-Efficiency Step-Down
Current Regulator For LEDs
General Description
The AT1314 features a PWM step-down converter operating with a fixed switching
frequency of 600 KHz and uses internal power MOSFET to provide maximum
efficiency. The output voltage of the converter can be set as low as 0.4V with external
resistive divider. When trans-conductance signal is higher than saw-tooth wave, then
PWM comparator will produce ON-time signal to set internal flip-flop, which turns
on the switching power MOSFET. The external inductor current ramps up linearly,
storing energy in a magnetic field. Once peak current of flowing through switching
power MOSFET over current-limited threshold or trans-conductance signal level is
lower than saw-tooth wave, the switching power MOSFET will turns off, the flip-flop
resets, and external schottky diode turns on. This forces the current through the
inductor to ramp back down, transferring the energy stored in the magnetic field to the
output capacitor and load. To add higher flexibility to the selection of external
component values, the device uses external loop compensation.
Soft-Start
AT1314 is built-in soft-start function. When power up, after input voltage is above the
under-voltage lockout threshold, then soft-start allows a gradual increase of COMP voltage to
get to a steady state operating point. Therefore, reducing input surge currents. During this
time, the COMP voltage increases and the output duty cycle is allowed to increase from zero
to the value required for regulation. The maximum load current is available after the soft-start
cycle is completed. When EN pin is taken low, the soft-start capacitor is discharge to ground.
Cycle-by-Cycle Over-Current Protection
The AT1314 provides cycle-by-cycle over-current protection. Current limit is
accomplished using a separate dedicated comparator. If the current sense amplifier
output voltage is larger than current-limited threshold level, it will be immediately
turned off power MOS. The current-limit feature protects against a hard short or over
current fault at the output.
Thermal-Overload Protection
Thermal-overload protection limits total power dissipation in the AT1314. When the junction
temperature exceeds Tj=160 ℃, a thermal sensor activates the thermal protection, which shuts
down the IC, allowing the IC to cool. Once the device cools down by 15 ℃, IC will
automatically recover normal operation. For continuous operation , do not exceed the absolute
maximum junction-temperature rating of Tj=150 ℃.

Preliminary Product Information
High-Efficiency Step-Down
Current Regulator For LEDs
Applications Information
External components of step-down converter can be designed by performing simple
calculations. It must be to follow regulation by the output voltage and the maximum
load current, as well as maximum and minimum input voltages. Begin by selecting an
inductor value. Once L is know, choose the diode and capacitors.
PWM Dimming Control
EN is also used as a digital input, allowing LED brightness control with a
logic-level PWM signal applied directly to EN. The frequency range is from 100Hz
to 1kHz, while 0% duty cycle corresponds to zero current and 100% duty cycle
corresponds to full current. The error amplifier and compensation Capacitor form a
lowpass filter, so PWM dimming results in DC current to the LEDs without any
additional RC filters required
Inductor
Inductor selection depends on input voltage, output voltage, maximum current,
switching frequency and availability of inductor values. The following buck circuit
equations are useful in choosing the inductor values based on the application. Choose
an inductor that does not saturate under the maximum rating load conditions. The
magnitude of inductance is selected to maintain a peak to peak ripple current of 30%
of the maximum load current.
The peak inductor current is given by:
I Lpeak = I LAVG +
I LAVG =

D is the MOSFET turn on ratio

The inductor should be chosen to be able to handle this current and inductor saturation
current rating should be greater than IPEAK.

Preliminary Product Information
High-Efficiency Step-Down
Current Regulator For LEDs
Diode selection
When the power switch turns off, the current through the inductor continues to flow.
The path for this current is through the diode connected between the switch output
and ground. This forward biased diode must has a minimum voltage drop and
recovery times. Schottky diode is recommended and it should be able to handle those
current. As usual, the reverse voltage rating of the diode should be at least 1.3 times
greater than the maximum input voltage, and current rating is greater than the
maximum load current.
Setting the Maximum LED Current
Resistor REF sets the maximum current in the primary chains of LEDs:
I LEDMAX =
400mV
RFB
Where ILEDMAX is the maximum LED current.
Input capacitor
An input capacitor helps to provide additional current to the power supply as well as
smooth input voltage variations in high current switching regulators. When selecting
an input capacitor, a low ESR capacitor is required to keep the noise at the IC to a
minimum. Ceramic capacitors are preferred, but tantalum or low-ESR electrolytic
capacitors may also suffice. Choose an input capacitor who’s maximum voltage rating
is 1.3 times greater than the maximum input voltage, and who’s RMS current rating is
equal to one-half of the maximum dc load current. It may be necessary in some
designs to add a small valued ceramic type capacitor in parallel with the input
capacitor to prevent any ring.
Output Capacitor
The output capacitor acts to smooth the dc output voltage and also provides energy
storage. Selection of an output capacitor, with an associated equivalent series
resistance (ESR), impacts both the amount of output ripple voltage and stability of the
control loop. Low ESR capacitors are preferred to keep the output voltage ripple low.
The output voltage ripple is estimated to be:
(1 − D) × VO
∆Vripple =
2
8 × L × COUT × f OSC

Preliminary Product Information
High-Efficiency Step-Down
Current Regulator For LEDs
For low ESR ceramic capacitors, the output ripple is dominated by the charging or
discharging of the output capacitor.
In the case of low-ESR electrolytic capacitors, Output ripple voltage drop caused by
the switching current through the ESR of the output capacitor. The output ripple is
estimated as:
VRIPPLE ≅ ∆I L × R ESR
Impacting frequency stability of the overall control loop, the output capacitance, in
conjunction with the inductor, creates a double pole inside the feedback loop. In
addition the capacitance and the ESR value create a zero. These frequency response
effects together with the internal frequency compensation circuitry of AT1314 modify
the gain and phase shift of the closed loop system.
Compensation
The step-down loop can be compensated by adjusting the external components
connected to the COMP pin. The COMP pin is connected to the output of the internal
trans-conductance error amplifier. The compensation capacitor adjusts the low
frequency gain , and the series resistor value adjusts the high frequency gain. A series
capacitor-resistor combination sets a pole-zero combination to control the
characteristics of the control system. The system has 2 poles and one zero of
importance, 2 poles consist of compensation capacitor and output capacitor. One zero
is produced by the compensation capacitor and the compensation resistor.
If electrolytic capacitor with relatively high ESR is used, the zero due to the
capacitance and ESR of the output capacitor can be compensated by a third pole set
by the compensation resistor and another compensation capacitor connected form
COMP pin to ground.
PCB layout guidelines
Careful printed circuit layout is extremely important to avoid causing parasitical
capacitance and line inductance. The following layout guidelines are recommended to
achieve optimum performance.
‧ Please the buck converter diode and inductor close to the SW pin and no via.
‧ Please ceramic bypass capacitors near the input pin.
‧ Locate all feedback resistive dividers as close to their respective feedback pins as
possible.
‧ Use wide traces and trace length is short as possible.
