1.1.3. LED driver application notes
The MLX10801 is optimised for the use of low cost coils. For a standard application with 1 LED and an average
current of 350mA a coil of about 100µH…470µH having ≤ 1R omic resistance should be chosen. The sense resistor
should have a value between 0.47R…1R / 250mW.
As a general rule: the higher the load current, the lower the inductance of the coil should be, since higher currents
lengthen the charging time of the coil. Switching frequencies lower than 20kHz are often not desired.
It is possible (without manipulating the internal IC trimming data) to set the peak current and the average current of
the LED by a variation of sense resistor and coil value. The same can be achieved by programming a modified
parameter set to the EEPROM of the IC.
The free wheel diode that carries the load current during the passive state (driver OFF) should be a very fast
switching diode like ES1D or BYG80 with a recommended trr<30ns in order to avoid parasitic spikes on RSENSE.
The diode must be able to carry the current flowing in the LED.
For applications that use an external temperature sensor, virtually any low cost diode with a temperature coefficient
of -2mV/K can be used.
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.
A well chosen parameter set can help to avoid such a condition. The goal should be to unload the coil as much as
possible during the selected monoflop time (see as well chapter 8.3).
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..4kHz can be applied to the CONTROL pin in order to
dim the light output. This frequency is limited by the debouncing time for the sleep mode on the lower side
and the selected monoflop time on the upper side of that range.
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 1.1.2 is sufficient for all applications with a constant light output.
Nevertheless a dimming function could be achieved by a PWM driving directly on the module supply.
In this mode, the PWM frequency should be chosen between 0 and 1kHz. It is limited by the maximum
IC settling time.

1.1.3.1.LED driver application notes for MLX10801 in MLPD8 5x5
The MLX10801 assembled in a MLPD8 5x5 package allows to take out of the IC a higher average and a higher
peak current.
The pre calibration data of the MLX10801 in all types of packages is identical.
In order to take advantage of the bigger output current capability without changing the ICs pre trimmed parameter
set, the user can change the values of the coil and the sense resistor.
A typical LED average current of approx. 700mA can be achieved by using a coil of 220uH and a sense resistor of
0,3 Ohm.
In case of such typical high current applications, the user must provide a suitable heat sink possibility on the PCB.
Changing the pre calibrated data, which is stored in the internal EEPROM, allows to tune the IC also to other
coil and sense resistor values, the EMC performance can be influenced as well.
Please check as well out the MLX10801 application notes for different driving solutions,
which allow to drive more than one high power LED on a single MLX10801.

1.2.2. Coil driver application notes
The purpose of this application is to drive a coil in a power saving efficient way using a switched mode power
supply. Coils of 10mH…5H can be driven. Attention has to be drawn to the maximum allowed current which
must not be exceeded.
In case of high inductive coils and/or longer cables between the IC and the coil, CF and RF might be needed for
reducing electromagnetic emissions.
When the driver switches on, the coil still contains a certain amount of energy, which is connected to a high voltage
on node COIL. Via the RDSon of the driver this voltage together with switching oscillations is then coupled to
RSENSE. If these switching oscillations do not disappear within the debouncing time of the comparator (typically
1µs) the driver is switched off immediately, an effect known as “parasitic switching”. A solution to that could be:
• CF, RDSon+ RF form a filter
• CF only acts in case the driver switches ON (in the OFF state it is quickly discharged by RSENSE)
• RDSon + RF should be larger than RSENSE
• RSENSE and CF must be directly connected to pin RSENSE
• CF and RF must be figured out in the application. However, typical start values are RF=0 (not used)
and CF=1.5uF.

The idea is to decouple the node COIL from RSENSE so that the switch off voltage can not be reached.
Thus, parasitic switching is avoided.
Instead of using RF and CF, “parasitic switching” can also be avoided by a well chosen parameter set
(see also chapter 8.3) and a well designed PCB that avoids switching oscillations.
Note: Melexis designed in a debouncing time of 1µs to the internal comparator due to the fact that the
MLX10801 can be used with a wide range of inductances.

1.3.2. Electronic fuse application notes
The purpose of this application is the protection of an external load against overcurrent. In this mode, the switch
mode regulator is disabled. The driver is permanently ON as long as the current remains below a specified level.
Once this level is reached, the driver switches OFF and remains OFF until a POR is given.
A shutdown of the module due to overtemperature is also achievable if the internal or external temperature
sensor is used.

Electrical characteristics
Following characteristics are valid
- for the full temperature range of T = -40°C to +105°C,
- a supply range of 28V ≥ VS > 6V
- and the IC settling time after power on reset
unless other conditions noted.
With 6V ≥ VS > vporh analog parameters can not be guaranteed.
Note: The correct operation of the MLX10801 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 and below GND, the sum of all substrate currents of the
influenced pins should not exceed 10mA for correct operation of the device.
Normal operating supply voltage is supposed to be 13.8V.

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, the reverse polarity diode together with the capacitors
on the supply and the load dump protected IC itself protects 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 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
8.1.
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 MLX10801 avoids this disadvantages as the following calculation shows (all values according to
the Melexis demo board EVB10801,standard configuration with L=220µH, RSENSE =0.47R):
Supposed:
Vbat = 13.8V
VfLED ≈ 3.4V
IfLED ≈ 350mA
Vf1 ≈ 0.7V (reverse polarity diode)
Vf2 ≈ 0.7V (free wheel diode)
VRSENSE ≈ 0.4V (@IfLED, RSENSE=0.47R)
VRDS ON ≈ 0.3V (@IfLED)
VCoil ≈ 0.2V (@IfLED)
Efficiency using a simple resistor:
Efficiency n:
n = VfLED / Vbat ≈ 25%
Efficiency using the MLX10801:
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 puts its energy to the free wheel diode
and the LED:
n1 = VfLED / (VfLED+ Vf2+ VCoil) ≈ 79%
2) During ON time, current flows through the reverse polarity diode, LED, coil , FET driver and RSENSE,
which causes the following voltage drops:
n2= VfLED / (VfLED +Vf1 +VCoil +VRDS ON +VRSENSE ) ≈ 68%
3) ON and OFF times are in ratio of roughly 40:60
Efficiency n: n = (n1*0.4 + n2*0.6) = 72.4%
Measurements have given an efficiency of about 70% and confirm this estimation. Note, that the ratio of ON and
OFF time depends on many factors like supply voltage, coil inductance, forward bias voltage etc. and is therefore
an application specific value. For ordinary applications, efficiency ranges from about 65% - 75%.

The principle in detail
The driver is switched on until a maximum current through the LED is reached. This maximum current is
programmable by the customer. After reaching the maximum current, the driver is switched off for an
adjustable monoflop time that is formed by a counter compare unit. The monoflop time is also programmable
by the customer. 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 programming these parameters, an adjustment of the
average load current is possible in a wide range.
Note: The current sense comparator has a typical debouncing time of 1µs as shown in the block diagram.
This delay time prevents the driver from being switched off due to short term switching oscillations etc.
When working with very short monoflop times this time has to be taken into account for calculations.

Note: The circuit is active only in case CONTR=H.
By applying a PWM signal on CONTR, the LED can be dimmed from 0% to 100%.
CONTR=0
CONTR=PWM
CONTR=H

LED dimmed with PWM

Dimming can also be achieved by applying a PWM directly to the module supply.
IC settling times have always to be considered in PWM mode. Please refer also to chapter 1.1.3 for
additional PWM frequency considerations.
With a configuration bit, a pseudo random generator can be applied to the last 3 LSBs of the 6 setting bits for 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
trimmed value. This occurs in every monoflop period. It will influence the average current in the same
manner. By using this jitter mode feature, the EMI behaviour of the complete module is improved,
due to the variation of the otherwise fixed switching frequency.
Please refer to 14.2 for additional information.

Coil inductance, EMI and selected parameter set
The inductance L of a coil describes the amount of magnetical 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 will only be discharged partially. 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 will be 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.
Care has to be taken when working in jitter mode. In this case, monoflop time (=discharging time) is
not constant but varies in a certain range (see chapter 14.2 for details). It must be ensured that only
the longest possible monoflop time completely discharges the coil. Otherwise the coil is discharged
before the monflop time ends which results in a loss of efficiency.

Conclusion: In most cases the coil is driven in a combination of both ways. A tradeoff has to be made between
EMI behaviour and maximum allowed LED current. By varying these parameters, an optimum can be found for
virtually every application.

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.
Melexis delivers the MLX10801 with a pre-trimmed parameter set according to chapter 15, where an average
switching frequency for a supply voltage of 13.8V is given.
The graph below shows the relative luminous flux versus the power supply for a typical application.
The luminous flux at 14V has been set to 100%. The graph indicates that the light output is not as
dependent on supply changes.

Coil driving principle
9.1.
General
Coils like relays or micro valves consume a relatively large amount of energy. At the moment of switching on,
energy is needed in order to switch a relay or a micro valve to the ON position. Once this position is reached,
the energy can be reduced drastically, while still keeping the mechanics of the relay or micro valve activated.
9.2.
The principle in detail
After power on reset, a delay time tdelay can be enabled, which disables the peak current detection during that
time. This delay time can be selected as described in 14.
The maximum current Imax that can flow during tdelay, is just dependent on the omic resistance of the selected
coil. After tdelay, the trimmed configuration is valid and the current drops down to the trimmed current value Iavg.
Due to the fact that the inductance of relays and micro valves is quite high, the monoflop operation in the range
of microseconds does not have much of an impact on the average current. So, in this configuration the selected
peak current is nearly the same as the average current. The monoflop time should be selected according to the
inductance of the selected coil and for the best EMI behaviour.

Electronic fuse principle
The principle is very simple. The monoflop will not be used and stays deselected. This way, the driver is always
on and the current of a given load is sensed by RSENSE. If it exceeds the specified limit or the selected shutdown
temperature, the module will be switched off. It can only be switched on again by a power on reset to the
system or by reducing the module temperature.

Sleep mode
In case CONTR=0 for t>tdebsleep, the MLX10801 goes to sleep mode, which reduces the IC current
drastically. Only the internal regulator and the input comparator for CONTR are still working.
In case CONTR=1 again, the chip is waken up after t>twakeup.
The settling time for wake up, given in chapter 4, has to be considered.
12.
Temperature shutdown
The temperature shutdown feature can be enabled or disabled. In case it is enabled, an internal or external diode
can be used as temperature sensor.
The internal temperature sensor is used to protect the chip (FET driver) from overtemperature. If the adjustable
temperature shutdown voltage, which is in fact the forward bias voltage of the diode, is reached, the IC shuts
down. An external temperature sensor is usually used to protect the load (LED) from overtemperature. Therefore
it should be thermally connected to the load.
Between the temperature shutdown and release point, there is a hysteresis in order to avoid oscillations.
When this point is reached, the IC automatically returns to its normal mode.
The hysteresis is specified in chapter 4.
The thermal behaviour of the system should be characterised during the design-in of the product by the
customer. The chip can be programmed for a fixed temperature shutdown voltage thereafter during the
end of line programming.
For a system that is designed for thermal conditions, temperature shutdown may not be needed. In this case, the
temperature shutdown can be disabled completely.
13.
Load dump protection
The MLX10801 is protected against 40V load dump, in case the application proposals described under 1 are used.

14.1. The internal control register
The internal control register consists of the following bits.
Bits are shifted in from MSB to LSB, starting with Bit19 and ending with Bit0.

IC specification
Power LED driver for automotive applications
Power saving low side coil driver
Electronic fuse
In case the pseudo random generator is enabled, a random value is applied to the 3 LSBs of the trimmed monoflop
time. The table above shows the relation between programmed monoflop time and the minimum/maximum
jitter, which can be seen in the related diagrams. All values are typical values. Note, that this is not the
drivers switching frequency but only the discharging cycle of a full switching period.
14.3. The calibration interface
The calibration interface consists of two blocks: The calibration pin (threshold detection) and the serial interface.
The calibration pin is a multi level pin and handles the following functions:
-
sending clock and data to the serial interface
latching the data to the EE-Latches
programming the data to the EE-Latches
The pin itself is pulled down internally.
On pin CALIB, comparators are connected with the following threshold levels:
Threshold level
Scope
0
Normal application mode
3*VS/10
Detects a logic “L” and generates a clock pulse
5*VS/10
Detects a logic “H” and generates a clock pulse
7*VS/10
Latches the data from the serial interface to the EE-Latches and generates a clock pulse.
Data is not stored permanently but will be immediately used
9*VS/10
Programmes the data permanently to the EE-Latches and generates a clock pulse.
Attention:
• A write cycle has to take 4ms…6ms. The user has to insure this time in order to
guarantee the specified EE-Latch data retention.
• Note, that the interface is fully static, thus only the threshold level is important.
However, the maximum transmission rate is limited to 20kBaud, which allows
50µs/bit.
• Note, that the CALIB pin needs to be left open (internally pulled down) in normal
application mode. If the threshold for programming is reached mistakenly (e.g. by
applying VBAT to pin CALIB), random data of the internal registers of the serial interface
will be programmed to the EE-Latches! It is even better to pull down CALIB hard to GND
after programming to avoid fail programming
• It is not possible to write a single bit to the EEPROM. A programming cycle always
consists of ALL bits of the scan chain.

14.4. The calibration procedure
The simple end of line calibration algorithms described below give the possibility to use only
• VS,
• GND,
• CALIB
as communication interface. No other signals need to be driven.
However, depending on the application requests, other calibration algorithms which stimulate RSENSE
and/or DSENSE are also possible.
14.4.1.Calibration procedure for LED driver applications
An end of line calibration of LED modules is recommended due to the variation in brightness of high power
LEDs at a given current. Assembled modules need to have the CALIB pin available for programming by the
customer during the end of line programming. Optical feedback, such as a light meter, can be used during
the end of line calibration for the adjustment of the LED brightness.
