Pin Functions
Pin 1: VIN
PIN 6: AUTO
This is the input power for the controller IC. If the input of
the boost converter is less than 30 V, VIN can be
connected directly to the boost supply voltage. If the
boost supply voltage is higher than 30 V, a separate
supply rail between 8 V to 30 V is required for the
VIN pin. It is recommended that an RC filter is added
between VIN and the boost supply voltage if they are
connected directly.
This is the mode control for fault condition. The selection
of control when under fault condition is either auto restart
mode or latch-off mode. For latch-off mode, this pin
should be connected directly to ground. For auto restart
mode, this pin should connect a capacitor to ground. The
auto restart period will be determined by the following
equation:
Please note that when VIN is not directly connected to
the boost supply voltage, proper power up sequence will
be required. Boost supply voltage must be ready before
powering up VIN. There is no power down sequence
required.
Pin 2: VDD
This is the output of an internal 8 V regulator. It requires a
2.2 F decoupling capacitor to be connected to ground.
The internal regulator can be over-driven by an external
supply between 8 V to 16 V if higher gate drive is desired.
PIN3: GATE
This is the driver output for the gate of the boost NMOS
switch. The GATE = high voltage is equal to VDD
voltage. It is recommended to add a 1 resistor between
this pin and the NMOS gate. The resistor value can be
optimized depending on the switching frequency and
selection of the NMOS switch.
PIN 4: GND
This is the signal and power ground for the IC controller.
It is recommended that all the low current paths are
connected to this pin as close as possible to the IC
controller. It is not recommended to connect any output
or input filter capacitors and any current sense resistors
to this pin directly. The IC controller ground should be an
island around the IC connected to the PWR GND at a
single point in the layout.
PIN 5: CS
This is the input for peak current sense. This pin serves
the functions of current feedback, peak current limit
detection, and fault current detection. The pin current
limit is set by the voltage defined at PIN 9 ILIM. The
current limit is defined as voltage at ILIM divided by the
sense resistor connected from this pin to ground.
If the CS pin detect a fault current detection such as short
circuit condition, it will trigger a fault signal. The IC
controller sets to either latch-off mode or auto restart
mode depends on the setting at PIN 6 AUTO.
Rev. 2.1 May 2012
C  AUTO 
T AUTORESTART = --------------------------1.25uA
PIN 7: OSC
OSC is the pin to select the switching frequency for the
boost controller. A resistor should be connected between
this pin to ground. The switching frequency is determined
by the following equation:
1
F SW = ----------------------------------------R OSC   10pF
It is recommended that the switching frequency for
normal operation is between 50 kHz to 350 kHz.
Pin 8: SYNC
This is a bidirectional pin for oscillator clock
synchronization. Clock synchronization will choose either
the internal clock or the external clock through this pin,
whichever is faster. The faster external clock must be
ready before power is applied to this IC controller. If the
internal clock is faster, the SYNC pin will have the same
frequency as the internal clock. When multiple IC
controllers are used in the design, it is recommended to
connect all SYNC pins together. This will reduce the
interference of “beat” frequencies associated with
multiple switching frequencies.
PIN 9: ILIM
This is the current limit set point. The voltage at this pin
will determine the CS current limit threshold detected at
PIN 5: CS. The voltage can be derived from a resistor
divider from the 1.2 V reference voltage at PIN 10: VREF.
To minimize power consumption, it is recommended that
the total resistance for the divider is approximately 20 kΩ.
PIN 10: VREF
This is a 1.2 V voltage reference for all external bias.
This reference voltage can be used for PIN 15: ISET and
PIN 9: ILIM bias.

AOZ1977
PIN 11: DPWM
PIN 14: COMP
This is the driver output for the gate of the LED current
control NMOS switch. DPWM = low if PIN13: DBRT
signal is low or fault condition is triggered. DPWM = high
if PIN 13: DBRT signal is high under normal operation.
The high voltage is equal to VDD voltage. It is
recommended to add a 1 Ω resistor between this pin and
the NMOS gate. The resistor value can be optimized
depending on the switching frequency and selection of
the NMOS.
This is for feedback loop compensation. It is the output of
the error amplifier that controls PWM logic for the boost
controller. An RC network should be used to generate the
compensation for boost feedback loop.
PIN 12: OVP
This is the input for LED Over-Voltage Protection.
OVP monitors the LED output voltage through a resistor
divider. When the voltage at this pin is higher than 1 V,
the controller will stop switching immediately until the
voltage at this pin is below 0.8 V.
PIN 15: ISET
This is for full scale LED current setting. A reference
voltage between 0.5 V and 0.8 V should be applied to this
pin. The voltage can be derived from a resistor divider
from the 1.2 V reference voltage at PIN 10: VREF.
To minimize power consumption, it is recommended that
the total resistance for the divider is approximately 20 kΩ.
The FB voltage will regulate to this voltage level. The full
scale LED current is derived by the FB voltage divided by
the Sense resistor.
PIN 16: FB
PIN 13: DBRT
This is the input for digital brightness control. A PWM
logic signal is applied to this pin to vary the brightness of
the LED. The brightness of the LED is proportional to the
duty cycle of the PWM logic signal. The input signal will
control the output driver at DPWM pin. This input pin
cannot be left floating.
Rev. 2.1 May 2012
This is the feedback input for boost controller. This pin
should connect to a resistor that senses the LED current.
The FB voltage will be regulated to ISET voltage to
determine the desired LED current when LED current
control NMOS switch is on.

AOZ1977
Detailed Description
The AOZ1977 is a boost DC/DC controller designed to
power a series of LEDs by regulating the current into the
LED string. The LED current information is provided to
the system through the sense resistor RFB at the bottom
of the LED string, between FB pin and GND pin.
LED Short Protection
Protection Features
LED Open Protection
Over-Current Protection at Boost Switch
When all LEDs are open, the system will respond by
boosting the output voltage. Once the output voltage
reaches the OVP threshold, OVP protection will trigger.
The current limit is a function of RS resistor value at
CS pin and the voltage setting at ILIM pin. The voltage at
ILIM is directly compared to the sense voltage at CS pin.
When CS voltage reaches ILIM set voltage, current limit
protection triggers and the boost switch will be turned off
immediately until the next clock cycle. To make sure that
current limit protection does not affect the normal
operation, the current limit should be set at least 30 %
higher than the inductor peak current. However, the
voltage at ILIM must be less than 0.4 V. When CS voltage
is higher than 0.4V, fault detection is active and that may
affect normal operation. ILIM voltage is generated by
connecting a resistor divider (RL1 and RL2 in the Typical
Application diagram on page 1) from 1.2 V VREF pin to
ILIM and GND pins. To minimize power consumption, it is
recommended that the total resistance for the divider is
approximately 20 kΩ.
For example,
- If peak current is 0.55 A.
When FB voltage is higher than 1 V when LED current
control switch is ON, the system will consider some LEDs
are shorted instantaneously. Under this condition, the
controller will enter the fault state.
Latch Off or Auto Restart Mode
AOZ1977 can select either auto restart mode or latch-off
mode under fault condition. Typical fault conditions are
excessive current at boost switch, or LED short. For
latch-off mode, the AUTO pin can be connected directly
to ground. For auto restart mode, the AUTO pin should
connect a capacitor to ground. The auto restart period
will be determined by the following equation:
C  AUTO 
T AUTORESTART = --------------------------1.25uA
Thermal Protection
An internal temperature sensor monitors the junction
temperature. It shuts down the internal control circuit and
all drivers if the junction temperature exceeds 145 ºC.
- 30% higher is 0.72 A.
- CS voltage is 0.72 V x 0.55 Ω = 0.4 V.
Over-Voltage Protection at Output
Over-voltage protection is monitoring the LED output
voltage through a resistor divider (Rov1 and Rov2 on
page 1) from VOUT to OVP and GND pins. When the
voltage at this pin is higher than 1 V, the controller will
stop switching immediately until the voltage at this pin is
below 0.8 V.

Application Information
Inductor Selection
Inductor choice will be affected by many parameters,
including duty cycle based on input/output setting,
switching frequency, full scale LED current level, and
mode of operations. The boost controller can operate
under discontinuous mode, continuous mode, or critical
conduction mode. For high voltage boost LED driver
applications, it is recommended to use critical conduction
mode for good stability and best efficiency.
ILpeak
Inductor Current in Critical Conduction Mode
Diode Selection
It is recommended to use fast recovery diode for D1.
For most applications, Schottky diodes with correct
current and voltage ratings are suitable. The diode
current rating should be at least higher than the full scale
LED current. The diode voltage rating should be higher
than the OVP level of VOUT voltage.
Output Capacitors
The amount and type of capacitor used is mainly
determined by the design output ripple requirement, and
mainly by the output ripple current which is usually higher
for boost converters and equals:
In critical conduction mode:
ILpeak = di = 2  Iin
The duty cycle for the boost DC/DC system is defined as:
Vout – Vin
DutyCycle = D = ---------------------------V OUT
To determine the ON time for the boost switch:
D
ONtime = dt = ----------Fsw
For the application with VIN = 130 V, VOUT = 180 V,
LED current = 200mA:
180V  0.2A
lin = --------------------------------- = 0.277A
130V
Vout – Vin
Iripple = --------------------------------Vin
When selecting output capacitors, it is more important to
check the effective ESR of the capacitor than the actual
capacitance value. For example, a 10 F capacitor with
0.02 Ω ESR will handle higher ripple current but produce
less output ripple than a 33 F capacitor with 0.04 Ω
ESR. It is recommended to use low ESR MLCC ceramic
capacitors. For high voltage cost effective application,
multiple Electrolytic capacitors in parallel will reduce the
total effective ESR.
Input Capacitors
The input capacitors for boost converters do not require
low ESR due to the fact that the input current is
continuous. Also, they do not contain large peak current
as compared to the output capacitors.
di = 2  0.277A = 0.555A
180V – 130V
D = ---------------------------------- = 0.28
180V
The ripple current at the input capacitor is:
0.28
dt = --------------------- = 2.8us
100kHz
0.3  Vin   Vout – Vin 
Iin_ripple = --------------------------------------------------------------Fsw  L  Vout
where Fsw is the switching frequency, 100 kHz in this
example.
The inductor value is determined by:
2.8us  130V
dt  Vin
L = --------------------- = ------------------------------------ = 656uH
0.555A
di
After the inductor value is calculated, we need to
consider the DCR resistance and the Isat saturation
current of the inductor. Inductor DCR is inversely
Rev. 2.1 May 2012
proportional to the Isat. It is recommended to select an
inductor for which the Isat value should be at least 50 %
higher than the ILpeak value. To minimize the EMI effect,
it is always preferable to use shielded type inductors.
Electrolytic capacitors should work well with the
appropriate voltage and ripple current rating, it is not
recommended to use Tantalum capacitors because
Boost converters do exhibit high surge currents during
startup which can cause tantalum capacitors to fail.

Current Sense Resistors
There are two current sense resistors in this application,
an LED current sense resistor RFB and a Boost switch
current sense resistor RS.
RFB LED current sense resistor is set by:
ISET Voltage
0.5V
RFB = ------------------------------------ = ------------ = 2.5
LED Current
0.2A
LED current is a function of ISET voltage and RFB
resistance. ISET voltage is generated by connecting a
resistor divider (Rr1 and Rr2 on page 1) from 1.2 V
VREF pin to ISET and GND pins. To minimize power
consumption, it is recommended that the total resistance
for the divider is approximately 20 kΩ.

LEDInductor Peak Current
For typical application, it is recommend to set the voltage
at CS to approximately 0.3 V when inductor current
reaches the peak.
Boost Feedback Loop Compensation
The AOZ1977 employs peak current mode control for
easy use and fast transient response. Peak current mode
control eliminates the double pole effect of the output
L&C filter. It greatly simplifies the compensation loop
design.
With peak current mode control, the boost power stage
can be simplified to be a one-pole, one left plane zero
and one right half plane (RHP) system in frequency
domain. The pole is the dominant pole and can be
calculated by:
1
f P1 = ----------------------------------2  C O  R L
The zero is a ESR zero due to the output capacitor and
its ESR. It is can be calculated by:
1
f Z1 = -----------------------------------------------2  C O  ESR CO
The RHP zero has the effect of a zero in the gain causing
an imposed +20 dB/decade on the roll off, but has the
effect of a pole in the phase, subtracting 90o in the
phase. The RHP zero can be calculated by:
V IN2
-----------------------------------------f Z2 =
2  L  I O  V O
The RHP zero obviously can cause the instable issue if
the bandwidth is higher. It is recommended to design the
bandwidth to lower than the one half frequency of RHP
zero.
The compensation design is actually to shape the
converter close loop transfer function to get desired gain
and phase. Several different types of compensation
network can be used for AOZ1977. For most cases, a
series capacitor and resistor network connected to the
COMP pin sets the pole-zero and is adequate for a stable
high-bandwidth control loop.
In the AOZ1977, FB pin and COMP pin are the inverting
input and the output of internal transconductance error
amplifier. A series R and C compensation network
connected to COMP provides one pole and one zero.
The pole is:
G EA
f P2 = ------------------------------------------2  C C  G VEA
where;
GEA is the error amplifier transconductance, which is
200 x 10-6 A/V,
GVEA is the error amplifier voltage gain, which is 1000 V/V, and
CC is the compensation capacitor.
The zero given by the external compensation network,
capacitor CC and resistor RC is located at:
1
f Z2 = ----------------------------------2  C C  R C
Choosing the suitable CC and RC by trading-off stability
and bandwidth.
where;
CO is the output filter capacitor,
RL is load resistor value, and
ESRCO is the equivalent series resistance of output capacitor.

PCB Layout Consideration
Correct layout practices are essential for a working
design that will meet expectations. It is recommended to
use a two-layer board for the design. However, a single
layer board would be sufficient if basic layout rules are
followed. In any SMPS layout, external components
should be grouped into Power or IC control. From typical
application circuit, there are two GND symbols. The
striped one is for Power GND and the solid one is for
Signal/Control GND. Both symbols are connected to a
single point connection on the layout, All Power
connections should be as short and wide as possible in
order to reduce undesired parasitic inductance. The
output capacitors should be physically placed in the
current path between the SMPS and the load. Input
capacitors should be placed as close as possible to the
input side of the inductor. To prevent interference and
system noise, it is critical that the switch node connection
for boost switch, inductor, and output diode must be as
short and close as possible. A GND copper layer covers
the top layer to help shield the noise. For two-layer
board, it is essential that the GND plane under this
switching node should be filled and uninterrupted.
