LED driver application notes The MLX10803 is optimised for the use of low cost coils and n-channel MOSFETs. For a standard application with 1 LED and an average current of 350mA, a coil of about 100µH…220µH and ≤ 1Ω DC resistance should be chosen. The sense resistor should have a value between 0.27Ω…0.47Ω / 250mW. As a general rule: the higher the load current, the lower the inductance of the coil as higher currents lengthen the charging time of the coil. Thus, switching frequencies may become lower than 20kHz which is often not desired. It is possible to set the peak current and the average current of the LED by variation of the RSENSE resistor, the coil value and the internal oscillator frequency (ROSC resistor). The flyback diode that carries the load current during the passive state (driver OFF) should be a fast switching and low intrinsic capacitance diode like ES1D or BYG80 in order to avoid parasitic spikes on RSENSE. The diode must be able to carry the LED current flowing during the OFF time of the driver. The n-channel MOSFET should have low intrinsic capacitances, a drain-source voltage suitable for the application and must be able to carry the current flowing through the LED(s) during the ON time. To decrease the time of transistor switching and to improve the thermal behaviour of the module, the lines between transistor and IC should me minimized. For applications that use an NTC resistor for temperature sensing, the NTC value has to be selected according to the application requirements. For most applications, a NTC value up to 470kΩ will be suitable. In case of longer lines between the IC and the coil (which should be avoided because of EMI), a capacitor might be placed in parallel to RSENSE to avoid crosstalk and parasitic switching. Well chosen parameters for external components can help to avoid such conditions. The goal should be to unload the coil as much as possible during the selected off time (see also chapter 7). 3901010803 Author: ALX, VAR Page 5/25 revised: TFR/VAR Rev 018 28/SEP/05 MLX10803 IC specification Automotive high power LED driver The schematic diagram under 1.1.1 is used in applications where the LED is controlled by external control electronics. A PWM with a frequency between 30Hz..5kHz can be applied to the VS/PWM pin in order to dim the light output. This frequency is limited by the time needed for recharging the coil and monoflop time selected by the resistor connected to ROSC as well as by the IC settling time after POR. This function can be used to achieve different light outputs or also be used in a temperature down regulation. It is recommended to have the PWM frequency at least 5-10 times lower than the selected driver switching frequency. The minimum schematic diagram under Figure 1: is sufficient for all applications with a constant light output. We also recommend to compare with our other circuits in the MLX108xx family and study these application notes for suitable solutions. 3901010803 Author: ALX, VAR Page 6/25 revised: TFR/VAR Rev 018 28/SEP/05 MLX10803 IC specification Automotive high power LED driver 2.

With 6V ≥ VS/PWM > vporh analogue parameters can not be guaranteed. Note: The correct operation of the MLX10803 as a switching mode power supply for voltages lower than the nominal supply voltage is dependent on the forward bias voltage of the used LED. The user must ensure that at low supply voltage the peak current threshold voltage on the RSENSE pin can be reached in order to keep the switching principle working. If several pins are charged with transients above VS/PWM and below GND, the sum of all substrate currents of the influenced pins should not exceed 10mA for correct operation of the device.

Automotive test pulses The following chapter is valid for a completely assembled module. That means that automotive test pulses are applied to the module and not to the single IC. In the recommended application according to chapter 1.1, the reverse polarity diode together with the capacitors on the supply and the load dump protected IC itself protect the module against the automotive test pulses listed below. The exact values of the capacitors for the application have to be figured out according to the automotive and EMI requirements. No damage occurs for any of the test pulses. A deviation of the IC’s characteristics is allowed during pulse 1, 2, 4; the module returns to normal operation after the pulse without any additional action. During test pulse 3a, 3b, 5 the module operates within characteristic limits.

LED driving principle 7.1. General The LED is driven by a switched mode power supply using an inductor as the energy storage element. This method has several advantages. The supply voltage has to be set down to the forward bias voltage of the LED. In ordinary applications this is achieved by a resistor with the following drawbacks: - A resistor dissipates power which is transformed to heat - Efficiency is reduced drastically - The light output of the LED is dependent on the supply and the temperature of the resistor The MLX10803 avoids these disadvantages as shown by the following calculation with L=220µH, RSENSE = 0.1R: Supposed: Vbat = 13.8V VfLED ≈ 3.4V example 1; 8V example2; IfLED ≈ 4A Vf1 ≈ 0.9V (reverse polarity diode) Vf2 ≈ 0.9V (free wheel diode) VRSENSE ≈ 0.4V (@IfLED, RSENSE=0.1 Ω) VRDS ON ≈ 0.04V (@IfLED) VCoil ≈ 0.2V (@IfLED) Efficiency using a simple resistor or load dump regulation: n= Efficiency n: V fLED VBAT ≈ 29% example1; ≈ 58% example2; Efficiency using the MLX10803: The following calculation is an approximation only, due to the fact the coil current is not constant. It is therefore calculated with average currents. 1) During OFF time, the coil acts as the storage element and delivers its energy to the flyback diode and the LED: n1 = V fLED V fLED + V f 2 + VCoil ≈ 75% example1; ≈ 88% example 2; 2) During ON time, current flows through the reverse polarity diode, LED, coil , FET driver and RSENSE, which causes the following voltage drops: n2 = V fLED V fLED + V f 1 + VCoil + VRDSon + VRSENSE ≈ 69% example1; ≈ 84% example 2; 3) ON and OFF times are in ratio of roughly 30:70 for example 1 and 65:35 for example 2: Efficiency n: n = n1 ⋅ 0.7 + n 2 ⋅ 0.3 ≈ 73.2% example1; ≈ 86.6% example2; 3901010803 Author: ALX, VAR Page 16/25 revised: TFR/VAR Rev 018 28/SEP/05 MLX10803 IC specification Automotive high power LED driver 7.2. The principle in detail After powering on the MLX10803 the switch becomes open and the current through the LED starts to rise. The rate of current rise is limited by the value of the coil. When the current through the LED reaches half of a maximum value, the ON timer is started, and if during 58.5 clocks of the internal oscillator the maximum current value through the LED is not reached, the driver switches off. This maximum current is adjusted by the resistors on the IREF2, IREF1 or voltage applied to VREF pins (voltage on these pins is divided by 5). The minimum of these voltages is taken as a reference. The driver is switched off for a monoflop time, which is 10.5 pulses of oscillator. The frequency of the oscillator can be set by the customer using the Rosc value. Both parameters, the peak current threshold voltage and the monoflop time, create an ON/OFF period to form an average current through the LED. By adjusting these parameters, an adjustment of the average load current is possible in a wide range. I Imax2 Iavg2 Imax1 Iavg1 t I Imax Iavg1 Iavg2 T1 t T2 Note: The current sense comparator has a typical debouncing time of 300ns as shown in the block diagram. This delay time prevents the driver from being switched off due to short term switching oscillations. When working with very short monoflop times, this time has to be taken into account for calculations. I Imax Iavg tmon_off t By applying a PWM signal on VS/PWM, the LED can be dimmed from 0% to 100%. VS/PWM = L VS/PWM = PWM VS/PWM = H 3901010803 Author: ALX, VAR LED permanent OFF LED dimmed with PWM between 0% to 100% LED permanent ON Page 17/25 revised: TFR/VAR Rev 018 28/SEP/05 MLX10803 IC specification Automotive high power LED driver Dimming is achieved by applying a PWM directly to the module supply or by changing the reference voltage on pin VREF or the resistor’s value on IREF2 pin. IC settling times must always to be considered in PWM mode. Please refer also to chapter 1.1.4 for additional PWM frequency considerations. Limitation of the ON time prevents from exceeding the allowed average current when the power supply voltage is not sufficient for the current to reach its peak value and restricts in this case duty cycle of switching to 68%. I Imax Iavg Imax/2 tmon_on tmon_off t A pseudo random generator is applied to the monoflop time. The pseudo random generator runs with the clock derived out of the monoflop time and adds a random distribution on these 3 LSBs. Therefore, the monoflop time gets a random variation from its value. The EMI behaviour of the complete module is improved due to the variation of the otherwise fixed switching frequency. The inductance L of a coil describes the amount of magnetic energy that can be stored in it. Consequently, high inductive coils will be discharged less than low inductive coils in a given time. Generally the coil can be driven in two different ways: 1) The coil is discharged partially only. That means the coil still carries a significant amount of energy when going from discharging to charging. In that moment the charging current rises immediately to the coil current that was flowing just before switching. This is connected with large dI/dt transients on the RSENSE pin that have a negative impact on EMI. 2) The coil discharged completely. Thus, at the end of a discharging cycle, the coil doesn’t carry energy anymore. With the next charging cycle, current increases steadily from around zero. This way, large dI/dt transients are completely avoided. Because of randomisation, the discharging time is not constant but varies within a certain range. It must be ensured that only the longest possible monoflop time completely discharges the coil. Otherwise the coil is discharged before the monoflop time ends which results in a loss of efficiency. 3901010803 Author: ALX, VAR Page 18/25 revised: TFR/VAR Rev 018 28/SEP/05 MLX10803 IC specification Automotive high power LED driver I Imax2 Imax1 Iavg Resistance 2 Resistance 1 Coil 1 Coil 2 Toff Coil 1 > Coil 2 Resistance 1 > Resistance 2 t Conclusion: In most cases the coil is driven in a combination of both ways. A trade off has to be made between EMI behaviour and maximum allowed LED current. By varying these parameters, an optimum can be found for every application. Below are some examples for typical parameter sets given for a 4A LED current and the following application data: • • • • RSENSE = 0.1R / 2 watt ROSC = 270K L = 47µH, 4A minimum, 0.05 Ω Normal nFET switch transistor, rds on < 0,01 Ω Remarks: • 4A and 0.05 Ω results in 0.8 watt power dissipation over the coil. • 4A and 0.1 Ω for the RSENSE resistor results in 1.6 watt, but only for 50% of the time in average. • The LED(s) with this current will dissipate 32 watt if they have 8V forward voltage. 3901010803 Author: ALX, VAR Page 19/25 revised: TFR/VAR Rev 018 28/SEP/05 MLX10803 IC specification Automotive high power LED driver 7.3. Switching frequency considerations and constant light output As already shown, the switching frequency depends on the peak current as well as on the monoflop time for a given coil. Furthermore it depends on the coil inductance itself. Due to the principle of switch mode power supplies, the current through the LED is kept constant for any supply changes. The parameter that changes in order to keep the current constant is the switching frequency itself. The lower the supply voltage, the lower the switching frequency. Furthermore, the supply current is affected by supply changes: with an increasing supply voltage the average supply current decreases. The graph below shows the normalized luminous flux versus the power supply for a standard application with one white Luxeon III LED driven at 750mA . The parameters are optimized for the 24V board net. The luminous flux at 24V has been set to 100%. The graph indicates that the light output is minimally dependent on supply changes over the whole range from 16 to 32V.

Temperature regulation In normal mode the peak current threshold voltage is defined by the lowest voltage on pins VREF, IREF2 and IREF1. Usually the resistor connected to IREF2 pin has a small thermal coefficient and the resistor on IREF1 pin has a big negative temperature coefficient (but they also can be connected vice versa). Both of these pins have an output current of 50uA. When the voltage on pin IREF1 falls below the voltage on pin IREF2 or VREF, the voltage reference for the actual maximum current is taken from pin IREF1. This makes the value of the peak current sensitive to temperature and prevents overheating of LED or IC. When the voltage on pin IREF1 becomes higher than voltage on IREF2 or VREF, the reference switches back to IREF2 or VREF pin. The thermal behaviour of the system should be characterised during the design-in of the product by the user. For a system that is designed for thermal conditions, temperature down regulation may not be needed. In this case, It is enough to leave the IREF1 or IREF2 pin unconnected and the internal current source will pull it up to the voltage Vdd – Vthr. 9.
