AMG-LL9910B
Universal High Voltage Single Channel LED Driver
1. Functional Description of the AMG-LL9910B
The AMG-LL9910B is a universal high voltage LED driver IC. Both buck and boost topologies
are possible. It has one current regulated channel.
The AMG-LL9910B controls an external MOSFET at fixed switching frequencies up to
300 kHz. The frequency can be programmed by using a single resistor. The LED string is
driven at a constant current rather than a constant voltage, thus providing constant light output
and enhanced reliability. The output current to a LED string can be programmed to any value
between 0 and 100% by applying an external control voltage at the linear dimming control
input. The IC provides a low-frequency PWM dimming input that can accept an external
control signal with a duty ratio between 0% and 100% and a frequency of up to a few
kilohertz.

9.2. Application Notes
a) Peak Current Regulation
The oscillator resistor sets the PWM frequency. After each oscillator period, the gate driver is
pulled high and the duty cycle begins.
When the current over sense resistor RCS reaches the current limit, the current sense
comparator will trip and after blanking time the gate driver output is pulled low and the duty
cycle ends.
Smaller inductors and lower PWM frequencies will provide for higher current ripple. In the
case that the highest light intensity is desired, the ripple should be maximized and the LED
driven to it's specified peak current limit.
In the case that the highest efficacy and longest LED lifetime is desired, the LED needs to be
driven to the optimum current value only. In this situation, the ripple should be kept as low as
possible. Bigger inductor values and higher PWM frequencies will help achieve this result.

b) LED Current
The maximum LED current is programmed with an external resistor RCS.
If peak current for highest light intensity is desired, the resistor value should be calculated as
follows:
RCS = 250mV/ILED peak
If an average current for highest efficacy and longest lifetime is desired, the resistor value
should be calculated as follows:
RCS = 250mV/[ILED avg + (0.5*ΔIL)]
ΔIL = Iripple
c) Inductor Value
The inductor value depends on the input voltage, output voltage, PWM frequency and the
desired current ripple.
First , we calculate the ratio between input and output voltage and the voltage over the
inductor. The input voltage is the average supply voltage for the IC while the output voltage is
the number of LEDs on the string times the LED forward voltage.
Vout = n * VF
VL = Vin - Vout
Please note: that the forward LED voltage is a function of the LED current. The LED data
sheet should provide the corresponding forward voltage for a given LED current.
D = Vout/Vin
For a buck design, D must be lower than 1.
Then, the ripple of the LED currents needs to be determined, which will then provide the
actual inductor value.
For the maximum peak current (highest intensity), a current ripple higher than 50% (0.5) is
desirable.
ΔIL = ripple * ILED peak
Inductor values should be rounded down in this case.
For a stable average current (highest efficacy), a current ripple lower than 20% (0.2) is
desirable.
ΔIL = ripple * ILED avg
Inductor values should be rounded up for this case.
L= (D/fosc) * (VL/ΔIL)

d) Linear Dimming
If the second comparator is provided with a threshold voltage lower than the internal threshold
voltage of the first comparator, the current over the LED can be manually adjusted. This can
be achieved with any analog voltage between 0 and the internal reference voltage (e.g. with a
potentiometer).
e) Digital Dimming
With an external PWM signal at the PWMD pin, the gate driver can be gated. This means, the
LED will light up during the duty cycle of the external PWM signal and vice versa, the LED will
be off during the off-time of the external PWM signal.
The external PWM frequency needs to be much smaller than the frequency of the
AMG-LL9910B. The external PWM frequency should be at least 10x smaller, otherwise
fluctuation effects may occur.
The PWMD pin may also be used to enable or disable the device. The IC is enabled, when
PWMD is pulled to Vcc. It is disabled, when PWMD is pulled to GND:
f) PWM Frequency
FPWM [kHz] = 25000/(Rosc [kΩ]+22)
g) PFC
The AMG-LL9910B does not have a PFC integrated stage. As such, a PFC is usually
necessary for off line LED drivers. This can be either a passive PFC or even an active one,
when the power increases relatively high.
