The LX1992 has an additional feature for simple dynamic adjustment of the output current (i.e., up to 100% of the maximum programmed current). Designers can make this adjustment via an analog reference signal or a direct PWM generated signal applied to the ADJ pin and any PWM amplitude is easily accommodated with a single external resistor. The LX1992 is available in both the 8Pin MSOP, and the miniature 8-Pin MLP requiring minimal PCB area. WWW .

It operates in a pseudo-hysteretic mode with a fixed switch “off time” of 300ns. Converter switching is enabled as LED current decreases causing the voltage across RSET to decrease to a value less than the voltage at the VADJ pin. When the voltage across RSET (i.e., VFB) is less than VADJ, comparator A activates the control logic. The control logic activates the DRV output circuit that connects to the gate of the external FET. The DRV output is switched “on” (and remains “on”) until the inductor current ramps up to the peak current level. This current level is set via the external RCS resistor and monitored through the CS and SRC inputs by comparator B. The LED load is powered from energy stored in the output capacitor during the inductor charging cycle. Once the peak inductor current value is achieved, the NDRV output is turned off (off-time is typically 300ns) allowing a portion of the energy stored in the inductor to be delivered to the load (e.g., see Figure 5, channel 2). This causes the output voltage to continue to rise across RSET at the input to the feedback circuit. The LX1992 continues to switch until the voltage at the FB pin exceeds the control voltage at the ADJ pin. The value of RSET is established by dividing the maximum adjust voltage by the maximum series LED current. A minimum value of 15Ω is recommended for RSET. The voltage at the FB pin is the product of IOUT (i.e., the current through the LED chain) and RSET. R SET V = ADJmax ILEDmax Setting the level of peak inductor current to approximately 2X the expected maximum DC input current will minimize the inductor size, the input ripple current, and the output ripple voltage. The designer is encouraged to use inductors that will not saturate at the peak inductor current level. An inductor value of 47µH is recommended. Choosing a lower value emphasizes peak current overshoot while choosing a higher value emphasizes output ripple voltage. The peak switch current is defined using a resistor placed between the CS terminal and ground and the IPEAK equation is: I PEAK = I MIN + VIN L t + ICS R D R ICS CS The maximum IPEAK value is limited by the ISRC value (max. = 0.8ARMS). The minimum IPEAK value is defined when RCS is zero. The value range for parameters IMIN and ICS are provided in the ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS section of this data sheet. The parameter tD is related to internal operation of the device. A typical value at 25oC is 800ns. RICS is the internal current sense resistor connected to the SRC pin. A typical value at 25oC is 200mΩ. All of these parameters have an effect on the final IPEAK value. DESIGN EXAMPLE: Determine IPEAK where VIN equals 3.0V and RCS equals 4.02KΩ using nominal values for all other parameters. × 800ns+ 5.0µA × 4.02KΩ IPEAK = 73mA + 3.0V 47µH 200mΩ The result of this example yields a nominal IPEAK of approximately 225mA. OUTPUT RIPPLE AND CAPACITOR SELECTION Output voltage ripple is a function of the inductor value (L), the output capacitor value (COUT), the peak switch current setting (IPEAK), the load current (IOUT), the input voltage (VIN) and the output voltage (VOUT) for a this boost converter regulation scheme. When the switch is first turned on, the peak-to-peak voltage ripple is a function of the output droop (as the inductor current charges to IPEAK), the feedback transition error (i.e., typically 10mV), and the output overshoot (when the stored energy in the inductor is delivered to the load at the end of the charging cycle). Therefore the total ripple voltage is VRIPPLE = ∆VDROOP + ∆VOVERSHOOT + 10mV The initial droop can be estimated as follows where the 0.5 value in the denominator is an estimate of the voltage drop across the inductor and the FET’s RDS_ON: The Microsemi Linfinity Microelectronics Division 11861 Western Avenue, Garden Grove, CA. 92841, 714-898-8121, Fax: 714-893-2570 Page 5 APPLICATION The application of an external voltage source at the ADJ pin provides for output current adjustment over the entire dimming range and the designer can select one of two possible methods. The first option is to connect a PWM logic signal to the ADJ pin (e.g., see Figure 1). The LX1992 includes an internal 50pF capacitor to ground that works with an external resistor to create a low-pass filter (i.e., filter out the AC component of a pulse width modulated input of fPWM ≥ 100KHz). The second option is to adjust the reference voltage directly at the ADJ pin by applying a DC voltage from 0.0 to 0.3V (e.g., see Figure 2). The adjustment voltage level is selectable (with limited accuracy) by implementing the voltage divider created between the external series resistor and the internal 2.5MΩ resistor. Disabling the LX1992 is achieved by driving the SHDN pin with a low-level logic signal thus reducing the device power consumption to less than 0.5µA (typ).

An N-channel MOSFET with a relatively low threshold voltage, low gate charge and low RDS(ON) is required to optimize overall circuit performance. The LXE1992 Evaluation Board uses a Fairchild FDV303. This NMOS device was chosen because it demonstrates an RDS_ON of 0.33Ω and a total gate charge Qg of 1.64nC (typ.) The LXE1992 evaluation board is available from Microsemi for assessing overall circuit performance. The evaluation board, shown in Figure 3, is 3 by 3 inches (i.e., 7.6 by 7.6cm) square and programmed to drive 4 LEDs (provided). Designers can easily modify circuit parameters to suit their particular application by replacing RCS (as described in this section) RSET (i.e., R4) and diode load. Moreover, the inductor, FET, and switching diode are easily swapped out to promote design verification of a circuit that maximizes efficiency and minimizes cost for a specific application. The evaluation board input and output connections are described in Table 1. The DC input voltage is applied to VBAT (not VCC) however the LX1992 IC may be driven from a separate DC source via the VCC input. The output current (i.e., LED brightness) is controlled by adjusting the on-board potentiometer. The designer may elect to drive the brightness adjustment circuit from VBAT or via a separate voltage source by selecting the appropriate jumper position (see Table 2). Optional external adjustment of the output LED current is achieved by disengaging the potentiometer and applying either a DC voltage or a PWM-type signal to the VADJ input. The PWM signal frequency should be higher than 150KHz and contain a DC component les than 350mV. The LX1992 exhibits a low quiescent current (IQ < 0.5µA: typ) during shutdown mode. The SHDN pin is used to exercise the shutdown function on the evaluation board. This pin is pulled-up to VCC via a 10KΩ resistor. Grounding the SHDN pin shuts down the IC (not the circuit output). The output voltage (i.e., voltage across the LED string) is readily measured at the VOUT terminal and LED current is derived from measuring the voltage at the VFDBK pin and dividing this value by 15Ω (i.e., R4). The factory installed component list for this must-have design tool is provided in Table 3 and the schematic is shown in Figure 4 Microsemi Linfinity Microelectronics Division 11861 Western Avenue, Garden Grove, CA. 92841, 714-898-8121, Fax: 714-893-2570 Page 6 APPLICATION A Schottky diode is recommended for most applications (e.g. Microsemi UPS5817). The low forward voltage drop and fast recovery time associated with this device supports the switching demands associated with this circuit topology. The designer is encouraged to consider the diode’s average and peak current ratings with respect to the application’s output and peak inductor current requirements. Further, the diode’s reverse breakdown voltage characteristic must be capable of withstanding a negative voltage transition that is greater than VOUT. Copyright 2000 Rev. 1.1, 2002-11-21 The LX1992 produces high slew-rate voltage and current waveforms hence; the designer should take this into consideration when laying out the circuit. Minimizing trace lengths from the IC to the inductor, transistor, diode, input and output capacitors, and feedback connection (i.e., pin 6) are typical considerations. Moreover, the designer should maximize the DC input and output trace widths to accommodate peak current levels associated with this topology. WWW .

This circuit will have VBAT 1.25V across it and at the higher input voltages the 1KΩ resistor could have as much as 4mA through it.
