LDS8711 High Efficiency 10 LED Driver with No External Schottky either in PWM or in Smart OneWire™ Interface mode. The Smart OneWire™ Interface mode allows set LED current in the range from 0.125 to 32 mA in 256 steps of 0.125 mA each. In PWM mode, LDS8711 operates with either factory, or customer preset maximum LED current values. Series connection of the LEDs provides constant current and subsequently uniform brightness, eliminating the need for ballast resistors and factory calibration. Operation at 0.7 MHz allows use of small value inductor (10 – 33 µH) and external ceramic capacitor (1 – 2.2 µF). The use of integrated rectifier makes the efficiency dependent on only two external components parameters: inductor DCR and external capacitor ESR. The supply voltage down to 2.7 V for new Li-ion battery chemistries or two alkaline battery cells extends the battery life. Under-voltage protection disables the part when VIN voltage reaches 2.0 V 0 The LDS8711 has thermal shutdown set at 150 C. Above this value , the boost converter stops switching. The part resumes normal operations when 0 temperature drops below 130 C. The over-current protection provides cycle-by-cycle current limit. The internal output over-voltage protection prevents damage in the case of a faulty LED disconnect.

To place the device into shutdown mode, the EN/PWM pin must be held low for more than 10 ms. VIN is the supply pin for the driver. A small 1 μF ceramic bypass capacitor is required between the VIN pin and ground near the device. The operating input voltage range is from 2.7 V to 5.5 V. If the input supply voltage falls below the under-voltage threshold, switch is disabled, and the device enters shutdown mode. V OUT is the driver’ output that is connected to the LED anode. A ceramic bypass capacitor is required between the VOUT pin and ground near the device. GND is the ground reference for the analog circuits. The pin must be connected to the ground plane on the PCB. Avoid high currents flowing trough traces connecting this pin with EN/PWM signal source. HVB is the internal high voltage reference point. Connect a 4700 µF capacitor between this point and VOUT . PGND is the current return for high current circuits. The pin must be connected to the ground plane on the PCB. Connect GND and PGND as close to the driver as possible. EN/PWM is the Enable/Smart OneWire™ inteface and PWM control logic input. Guaranteed levels of logic high and logic low are set at 1.4 V and 0.4 V respectively. When EN/PWM is initially taken high, the device becomes enabled and wait for the first pulse that determines mode, at which device will operate. If first pulse is equal tSETUP1, LED current sets to factory programmed value and every next incoming pulse will be recognized as PWM signal. If first pulse is equal tSETUP2, device enters Smart OneWire™ interface mode and wait for command. Every next of 16 incoming pulses will be recognized as command. If device is not able to recognize command due error in transmition, it enters shutdown © 2010 IXYS Corp. Characteristics subject to change without notice LEDS is the Current Sense pin that provides internal regulated current sink for LED string. Connect LED string cathode to this pin. This pin enter highimpedance zero current state whenever the device is in shutdown mode. PAD is the exposed pad underneath the package. For best thermal performance, the pad should be soldered to the PCB and connected to the ground plane 6 Doc. No. 8711DS, Rev. N1.0 LDS8711 BLOCK DIAGRAM Figure 3. LDS8711 Functional Block Diagram BASIC OPERATION At power-up, EN/PWM pin should be logic LOW. The LDS8711 starts operating when EN/PWM pin is asserted logic high. The device becomes enabled and wait for the first pulse that determines mode, at which device will operate. If first pulse is equal t SETUP1, LED current sets to factory programmed value and every next incoming pulse will be rec ognized as PWM signal. If first pulse is equal tSETUP2, device enters Smart OneWire™ interface mode and wait for command. Every next of 16 incoming pulses will be recognized as command. After LDS8711 accepts command, the current sets in respect to programmed value, and device changes mode to PWM. If device is not able to recognize command due some error, it enters shutdown mode after 10 ms. The LDS8711 has soft start function that prevent high input current spike at device’ wake-up. The EN/PWM pin should be held low for more than 10 ms to completely turn device in low current shutdown mode. LED Current Setting The maximum current value in the LED string may be factory preset in the range from 10 to 30 mA in 0.125 mA steps, or set by Smart OneWire™ interface in the range from 0.125 to 32 mA. The average LED string current that determines LED brightness may be controlled applying PWM signal to the EN/PWM pin. The maximum PWM frequency is 30 kHz, while frequiencies below 100 Hz are not recommended to avoid visible LED flikering. Duty cycle that determines average LED string current may vary in the range from 5% to 100% at 1 k Hz or from 20% to 100% at 30 kHz with high linearity current regulation. If the input voltage is sufficient to regulate all LED currents, the device remains in operating mode. The low dropout Current regulator performs well at V OUT voltage up to 250 mV above summary LED forward voltage significantly increasing driver’s efficiency. It gives possibility regulate brightness either in DC mode with changing color temperature, or in PWM mode with stable color temperature. If the input voltage is insufficient or falls to a level where the regulated currents cannot be maintained, the Under-Voltage protection turns device off setting it in shutdown mode. © 2010 IXYS Corp. Characteristics subject to change without notice To start LDS8711 in PWM Mode, the first positive pulse applied to EN/PWM pin after power-up should be equal tSETUP1 and followed by EN/PWM pin LOW 7 Doc. No. 8711DS, Rev. N1.0 LDS8711 state equal tLO (see Figure 1). Every next incoming pulse will be recognized as PWM pulse, and maximum LED current will be set equal factory preset value. If PWM frequency is above 5 kHz and duty cycle is less than 50%, device will start in PWM mode automatically; however, at lower frequencies or 100% duty cycle, start procedure requires. LED Selection LEDs with forward voltages (VF ) ranging from 1.3 V to 5.0 V may be used. However, number of the LEDs in string is limited by maximum output voltage that cannot exceed over-voltage protection level. We recommend using not more than 10 LEDs with VF ≤ 3.6 V in string if VIN voltage is above 3.0 V and not more that eight LEDs if VIN may fall up to 2.7 V. To start LDS8711 in Smart OneWire™ Interface Mode, the first positive pulse applied to EN/PWM pin after power-up should be equal tSETUP2 and followed by 16 command pulses in respect to Smart OneWire™ interface command shown in the Table 1. External Components The LDS8711 requires four external components only. The recommended input capacitor value is between 1 and 10 µF, while the output capacitor selection is function of desired output ripple, loop stability, and inrush current. Every Smart OneWire™ interface command to program LED current may be represented in binary code as 0000 0100 XXXX XXXX (MSB to LSB), where X is a bit value in respect with desired current value. The inductor should have minimum Rdc resistance to increase driver’s efficiency. Recommended inductor values are from 10 to 33 µH. The inductor ripple current IR is a function of switching frequency, inductor value, and duty cycle and is determined by the following equation: Example: If desired LED current value is 22 mA, binary code is equal 22 mA/0.125 mA – 1 = 43 (Dec) = 1010 1111 (Bin) and Smart OneWire™ interface command to set this current is: 0000 0100 1010 1111 (MSB to LSB). 1 IR 1 1 Lf NV V V V V F d PM IN IN This command should be send (MSB first) through EN/PWM pin as sequence of 16 pulses, each of which represents bit zero or bit one depend on pulse length that should be equal tBO or tB1 respectively (see Smart OneWire™TIMING SPECIFICATION). , where V F - is a LED forward voltage, Vd - is a current regulator voltage drop, V PM - is a voltage drop across PMOSFET, V IN - is an input voltage, L is - inductance, and f - is a switching frequency, 700 kHz. th After 16 pulse, EN/PWM pin should be LOW for tLO1 time to confirm end of the command and transfer to PWM mode. Every next incoming pulse will be recognized as PWM pulse, and it will turn LEDs on (see Figure 2). Then, the switch cycle-by-cycle current limit is equal: If LDS8711 is not able recognize command due some error in programming or transmit, it will go in shutdown mode after 10 ms timeout I (NV F V d ) I R I LIM OUT , V IN 2 Once in PWM mode, LDS8711 is not able recognize Smart OneWire™ Interface commands and requires restart to reprogram LED current. where is expected efficiency. The selected inductor should allow around 20% higher peak current to avoid saturation. Protection Mode The output voltage VOUT is limited at about 38 V maximum. This is to prevent the output pin from exceeding its absolute maximum rating if LED string is disconnected or any LED.in string burns out creating open circuitry. The criterion for the output capacitor selection is: If the die temperature exceeds +150°C, the driver will enter a thermal protection shutdown mode. When the device temperature drops by about 20°C, the device will resume normal operation. For example: © 2010 IXYS Corp. Characteristics subject to change without notice ( NV F V d VIN )I OUT COUT ( NVF V d )V R f If V IN = 2.7 V, N = 10, VF = 3.6 V, Vd = 0.25 V, f = 0.7 MHz, IOUT = 30 mA, and ripple voltage VR = 0.05 V, C OUT = 0.77 µF so 1.0 µF is a good choice. 8 Doc. No. 8711DS, Rev. N1.0 LDS8711 We recommend C OUT in the range 1.0 – 2.2 µF to achieve better efficiency and driver’s stability. use of multiple via improves the package heat dissipation. Recommended Layout In active mode, the driver switches internally at a high frequency. We recommend minimize trace length to all external capacitors and inductor. The input and output ceramic capacitors (X5R or X7R type) should located as close to the device’ pins as possible to prevent from EMI distribution A ground plane should cover the area under the driver IC as well as the bypass capacitors. Short connection to ground on capacitors CIN and C OUT can be implemented with the use of multiple via. A copper area matching the TDFN exposed pad (PAD) must be connected to the ground plane underneath. The © 2010 IXYS Corp. Characteristics subject to change without notice Figure 4.
