Pinning / Pad Coordinates Symbol Description Vin Supply voltage positive input. Apply a DC voltage of 7V to 30V here. The input is protected with a fuse and a diode to prevent damage from reserved power supply and safely disconnect the power in case of failure. GND Supply voltage negative input and ground reference for MOD input. LEDa Positive output for LED, connect the anode of the first LED of the string to this pin. LEDk Negative output for LED, connect the cathode of the last LED of the string to this pin. This pin is not identical to GND! MOD PWM input. Pulling this pin high shuts off the output. Feeding a PWM signal with up to 1kHz can be used to control the brightness of the connected LEDs. Pulling the pin high permanently puts LW05 in a standby mode. This can be left unconnected if no brightness control is required. AMG-LL75x Revision: A 28.

Thermal Precautions When operating at elevated ambient temperature, vertical mounting in an air volume sufficiently large enough to allow convection is recommended to reduce surface temperature of the regulator. Additional cooling measures can help to further reduce the regulator temperature and increase long term reliability. No part of the module surface may exceed 125°C during the operation at any time. 8.2. Failure Modes The most common failure mode occur when the regulator is destroyed due to over temperature, overvoltage, or an internal short circuit that causes the fuse to disconnect. The fuse has the ability to disconnect failure currents up to 50A and will start to trip at 1A. 8.3. Recommended Safety Measures Materials with low flash points must be kept away from the regulator. The surface temperature of parts on the regulator may reach up to 125°C surface temperature when used at elevated ambient temperatures and maximum power. AMG-LL75x Revision: A 28.

Application Notes a) Connecting the LEDs The maximum of LEDs that can be driven by the AMG-LL75x depends on the supply voltage and the combined forward voltage of the LEDs. Input voltage needs to be approximately 2.5V higher than the total forward voltage of the LED string for the proper operation. b) Reducing Output Ripple To reduce output ripple and possibly reducing EMC problems a capacitor maybe put parallel to the LEDs, preferably connected direct between LEDa and LEDk of the AMGLL75x. The 200mA low ripple version comes equipped with a capacitor installed on the module to optimize it for use with OLED. c) EMC The AMG-LL75x has been designed to produce a minimal level of EM emissions. As a component this product cannot be EMC approved. d) Brightness Control The MOD input allows PWM dimming of the LEDs. By applying a voltage >1V≤Vin the current to the LEDs is shut off. Frequencies up to about 1kHz can be applied to the MOD input, though for good regulator stability it is recommended not to exceed 500Hz. Dimming ranges of about 1% to 100% are possible. e) Regulator Efficiency The regulator efficiency depends on a number of parameters. Since there are a couple constant losses independent of the total power delivered by the regulator the basic rule is that the regulator is more efficient when used at high power (e.g. more LEDs connected). A lower difference between input and output voltage does also increase efficiency. AMG-LL75x Revision: A 28.

If a more precise output current is required it can be set by using the MOD input. AMG-LL75x Revision: A 28.

The color dot also serves to identify that the module has been tested and is in good standing. The color dot can be located on the input filter (the black square part next to the input connector) of the module. Color coding can be located in the “Ordering Information” table.

Crimping tools can be purchased separately. Wires with insulation diameter 0.7 to 1mm fit into the connectors. 11. Board-Revision 4 digit board revision code 12. Notes and Cautions 12.1. ESD Protection The Requirements for Handling Electrostatic Discharge Sensitive Devices are described in the JEDEC standard JESD625-A. Please note the following recommendations: AMG-LL75x Revision: A 28. Mar. 2012 © All rights reserved Page 11 of 12 AMG-LL75x High Efficiency Step Down LED Driver for High Brightness LED and OLED When handling the device, operators must be grounded by wearing a for the purpose designed grounded wrist strap with at least 1MΩ resistance and direct skin contact. Operators must at all times wear ESD protective shoes or the area should be surrounded by for ESD protection intended floor mats. Opening of the protective ESD package that the device is delivered in must only occur at a properly equipped ESD workbench. The tape with which the package is held together must be cut with a sharp cutting tool, never pulled or ripped off. Any unnecessary contact with the device or any unprotected conductive points should be avoided. Work only with qualified and grounded tools, measuring equipment, casing and workbenches. Outside properly protected ESD-areas the device or any electronic assembly that it may be part of should always be transported in EGB/ESD shielded packaging. 12.2. Storage conditions The AMG-LL75x corresponds to moisture sensitivity classification ML2, according to JEDEC standard J-STD-020, and should be handled and stored according to J-STD-033. 13.
