Its switching frequency is programmed by an external resistor from 100kHz to 800kHz. The TPS61196 supports direct PWM brightness dimming. Each string has an independent PWM control input. During the PWM dimming, the LED current is turned on/off at the frequency and duty cycle which are determined by the external PWM signal. The PWM frequency ranges from 90Hz to 22kHz. The TPS61196 integrates over current protection, output short circuit protection, ISET short to ground protection, diode open and short protection, LED open and short protection, and over temperature shutdown circuit. In addition, the TPS61196 can detect the IFB pin short to ground to protect the LED string. The device also provides programmable input under-voltage lockout threshold and output overvoltage protection threshold. The TPS61196 has a built-in linear regulator which steps down the input voltage to the VDD voltage for powering the internal circuitry. An soft start circuit is implemented internally to work with an external capacitor to adjust the soft startup time to minimize the in-rush current during boost converter startup. The device is available in 28-pin HTSSOP package with powerPAD providing good thermal performance. SIMPLIFIED SCHEMATIC CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION L1 68mH VIN = 24V The TPS61196 provides a highly integrated solution for LCD TV backlight with an independent PWM dimming function for each string.

The VDD pin, output of the regulator, must be connected to a 1.0µF bypass capacitor. VDD only has a current sourcing capability of 15mA. VDD voltage is ready after the EN pin is pulled high. Boost Controller The TPS61196 regulates the output voltage with current mode PWM (pulse width modulation) control. The control circuitry turns on an external switch FET at the beginning of each switching cycle. The input voltage is applied across the inductor and stores the energy as the inductor current ramps up. During this portion of the switching cycle, the load current is provided by the output capacitor. When the inductor current rises to the threshold set by the Error Amplifier (EA) output, the switch FET is turned off and the external Schottky diode is forward biased. The inductor transfers stored energy to replenish the output capacitor and supply the load current. This operation repeats each switching cycle. The switching frequency is programmed by an external resistor. A ramp signal from the oscillator is added to the current ramp to provide slope compensation, shown in the Functional Block Diagram. The duty cycle of the converter is then determined by the PWM Logic block which compares the EA output and the slope compensated current ramp. The feedback loop regulates the OVP pin to a reference voltage generated by the minimum voltage across the IFB pins. The output of the EA is connected to the COMP pin. An external RC compensation network must be connected to the COMP pin to optimize the feedback loop for stability and transient response. The TPS61196 consistently adjusts the boost output voltage to account for any changes in LED forward voltages. In the event that the boost controller is not able to regulate the output voltage due to the minimum pulse width (ton(min), in the ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS table), the TPS61196 enters pulse skip mode. In this mode, the device keeps the power switch off for several switching cycles to prevent the output voltage from rising above the regulated voltage. This operation typically occurs in light load condition or when the input voltage is higher than the output voltage. Switching Frequency The switching frequency is programmed between 100kHz to 800kHz by an external resistor (R9 in the SIMPLIFIED SCHEMATIC CIRCUIT). To determine the resistance by a given frequency, use the curve in Figure 7 or calculate the resistance value by Equation 1. Table 2 shows the recommended resistance values for some switching frequencies. 40000 fSW = (kHz ) R9 (1) Table 2. Recommended Resistance Values for Switching Frequencies R9 fSW 400 k 100 kHz 200 k 200 kHz 100 k 400 kHz 80 k 500 kHz 48 k 800 kHz Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2012–2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links :TPS61196 11 TPS61196 SLVSBG1C – OCTOBER 2012 – REVISED FEBRUARY 2013 www.ti.com Enable and Under Voltage Lockout The TPS61196 is enabled with the soft startup when the EN pin voltage is higher than 1.8V. A voltage of less than 1.0V disables the TPS61196. An under voltage lockout protection feature is provided. When the voltage at the VIN pin is less than 6.5V, the TPS61196 is powered off. The TPS61196 resumes the operation once the voltage at the VIN pin recovers above the hysteresis (VVIN_HYS) more than the UVLO threshold of input falling voltage. If a higher under voltage lockout (UVLO) voltage is required, use the UVLO pin as shown in Figure 22 to adjust the input UVLO threshold by using an external resistor divider. Once the voltage at the UVLO pin exceeds the 1.229V threshold, the TPS61196 is powered on and a hysteresis current source of 3.9µA is added. When the voltage at the UVLO pin drops lower than 1.229V, the current source is removed. The resistors of R1, R2 and R5 can be calculated by Equation 2 from required VSTART and VSTOP. To avoid noise coupling, the resistor divider R1 and R2 must be close to the UVLO pin. Placing a filter capacitor of more than 10nF as shown in Figure 22 can eliminate the impact of the switching ripple and improve the noise immunity. If the UVLO function is not used, pull up the UVLO pin to the VDD pin. VIN R5 IHYS R1 C4 UVLO Enable R2 1.229V UVLO Comparator Figure 22. The Under Voltage Lockout Circuit R1 + R5 = VSTART - VSTOP IHYS R2 = (R1 + R5) ´ 1.229V VSTART - 1.229V (2) Where IHYS is 3.9uA sourcing current from the UVLO pin. When the UVLO condition happens, the FAULT pin outputs high impedance. As long as the UVLO condition removes, the FAULT pin outputs low impedance. Power Up Sequencing and Soft Startup The input voltage, UVLO pin voltage, EN input signal and the input dimming PWM signal control the power up of the TPS61196. After the input voltage is above the required minimal input voltage of 7.5V, the internal circuit is ready to be powered up. After the UVLO pin is above the threshold of 1.229V and the EN signal is high, the internal LDO and logic circuit are activated. The TPS61196 outputs a 20ms pulse to detect the unused channels and remove them from the control loop. When any PWM dimming signal is high, the soft startup begins. If the PWM dimming signals come before the EN signal is high, the soft startup begins immediately after the detection of unused channels. 12 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2012–2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links :TPS61196 TPS61196 www.ti.com SLVSBG1C – OCTOBER 2012 – REVISED FEBRUARY 2013 VIN Rising Threshold Falling Threshold UVLO EN 40μs VDD PWMx FAULT REF Voltage = OVP Voltage REF VOUT Switching Unused Channel Detection IFBx 200μs 20ms Figure 23. Power up Sequencing The TPS61196 has integrated the soft-start circuitry working with an external capacitor at the REF pin to avoid inrush current during startup. During the startup period, the capacitor at the REF pin is charged with a soft-start current source. When the REF pin voltage is higher than the output feedback voltage at the OVP pin, the boost controller starts switching and the output voltage starts to ramp up. At the same time, the LED current sink starts to drive the LED strings. At the beginning of the soft start, the charge current is 200µA. Once the voltage of the REF pin exceeds 2.0V, the charge current changes to 10µA and continues to charge the capacitor. When the current sinks are driving the LED strings, the IFB voltages are monitored. When the minimum IFB voltage is above 200mV less than the setting voltage at the IFBV pin, the charge current is stopped and the soft startup is finished. The TPS61196 enters normal operation to regulate the minimum IFB voltage to the required voltage set by the resistor at the IFBV pin. The total soft start time is determined by the external capacitance. The capacitance must be within 1.0µF to 4.7µF for different startup time and different output voltage.

Soft Start Waveforms Unused LED String If the application requires less than six LED strings, the TPS61196 simply requires connecting the unused IFB pin to ground through a resistor between 20kΩ and 36 kΩ. Once the TPS61196 is turned on, the TPS61196 uses a 60µA current source to detect the IFB pin voltage. If the IFB voltage is between 1.0V and 2.5V, the TPS61196 immediately disables this string during startup. Current Regulation The six channel current sink regulators can be configured to provide up to 400mA per string. The expected LED current is programmed by a resistor (R11 in the SIMPLIFIED SCHEMATIC CIRCUIT) at the ISET using Equation 3. V ILED = ISET ´ KISET (3) R11 Where VISET is the ISET pin voltage of 1.229V and KISET is the current multiple of 3992. To sink the set LED current, the current sink regulator requires a minimum headroom voltage at the IFB pins for working properly. For example, when the LED current is set to 130mA, the minimum voltage required at the IFB pin must be higher than 0.35V. For other LED currents, refer to Figure 8 for recommened minimum headroom voltage required. The TPS61196 regulates the minimum voltage of the IFB pins to the IFBV voltage. The IFBV voltage is adjustable with an external resistor (R10 in the SIMPLIFIED SCHEMATIC CIRCUIT) at the IFBV pin. After choosing the minimum IFB voltage, the IFBV voltage must be set to this value and the setting resistance can be calculated by Equation 4. R10 VIFBV = ´ 307.3 (mV ) (4) R11 If a large LED current is set, the headroom voltage is required higher. This leads to more heat on TPS61196. To maintain the total power dissipation in the range of the package limit, normally all strings can not sink large current in continuous mode but pulse mode. The backlight of an active shutter glass 3D TV may work with large LED current in pulse mode. 14 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2012–2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links :TPS61196 TPS61196 www.ti.com SLVSBG1C – OCTOBER 2012 – REVISED FEBRUARY 2013 PWM Dimming LED brightness dimming is set by applying an external PWM signal of 90Hz to 22kHz to the PWM pins. Each LED string has an independent PWM input. Varying the PWM duty cycle from 0% to 100% adjusts the LED from minimum to maximum brightness respectively. The recommended minimum on time of the LED string is 10µsec. Thus the TPS61196 has a minimum dimming duty cycle of 500:1 at 200Hz. When all PWM voltages are pulled low during dimming off, the TPS61196 turns off the LED strings and keeps the boost converter running at PFM mode. The output voltage is kept at the level which is a little bit lower than that when PWM is high. Thus, the TPS61196 limits the output ripple due to the load transient that occurs during PWM dimming. When all PWM voltages are pulled low for more than 20ms, to avoid the REF pin voltage dropping due to the leakage current, the voltage of the REF pin is held by an internal reference voltage which equals to the REF pin voltage in normal dimming operation. Thus the output voltage will be kept at the same level as the normal output voltage. Since the output voltage in long time dimming off status is almost the same as the normal voltage for turning the LED on, the TPS61196 turns on the LED very fast without any flicker when recovering from long time dimming off to small duty cycle dimming on. Protections The TPS61196 has full set of protections making the system safe to any abnormal conditions. Some protections will latch the TPS61196 in off state until its power supply is recycled or it is disabled and then enabled again. In latch off state, the REF pin voltage is discharged to 0V. 1. Switch current limit protection using the ISNS pin The TPS61196 monitors the inductor current through the voltage across a sense resistor (R7 in the SIMPLIFIED SCHEMATIC CIRCUIT) in order to provide current limit protection. During the switch FET on period, when the voltage at the ISNS pin rises above 400 mV (VISNS in the ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS table), the TPS61196 turns off the FET immediately and does not turn it back on until the next switch cycle. The switch current limit is equal to 400mV / R7. 2. LED open protection When one of the LED strings is open, the voltage at the IFB pin connecting to this LED string drops to zero during dimming-on time. The TPS61196 monitors the IFB voltage for 20ms. If the IFB voltage is still below the threshold of 0.2V, the current sink is disabled and an internal pull-up current is activated to detect the IFB voltage again. If the IFB voltage is pulled up to a high voltage, this LED string is recognized as LED open. As a result, the TPS61196 deactivates the open IFB pin and removes it from the voltage feedback loop. Afterwards, the output voltage returns to the voltage required for the connected LED strings. The IFB pin currents of the connected strings remain in regulation during this process. If all the LED strings are open, the TPS61196 is latched off. 3. LED short-cross protection using the FBP pin If one or several LEDs short in one string, the corresponding IFB pin voltage rises but continues to sink the LED current, causing increased IC power dissipation. To protect the IC, the TPS61196 provides a programmable LED short-across protection feature by properly sizing the resistor on the FBP pin (R12 in the SIMPLIFIED SCHEMATIC CIRCUIT) using Equation 5. R12 VLED _ SHORT = ´ 1.229V (5) R11 If any IFB pin voltage exceeds the threshold (VLED_SHORT), the IC turns off the corresponding current sink and removes this IFB pin from the output voltage regulation loop. Current regulation of the remaining IFB pins is not affected. 4. Schottky diode open protection When the TPS61196 is powered on, it checks the topology connection first. After the TPS61196 delays 400us, it checks the voltage at the OVP pin to see if the Schottky diode is not connected or the boost output is hard-shorted to ground. If the voltage at the OVP pin is lower than 70mV, the TPS61196 is locked in off state until the input power is recycled or it is enabled again. 5. Schottky diode short protection Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2012–2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links :TPS61196 15 TPS61196 SLVSBG1C – OCTOBER 2012 – REVISED FEBRUARY 2013 www.ti.com If the rectifier Schottky diode is shorted, the reverse current from output capacitor to ground is very large when the switcher MOSFET is turned on. Because the current mode control topology has a minimum edge blanking time to immunize against the spike current through the switcher, if the parasite inductance between the output capacitor through the switcher to ground is zero, the external MOSFET will be damaged in this short period due to the huge power dissipation in this case. But with a small parasite inductance, the power dissipation is limited. The boost converter works in minimum pulse width in this situation due to cycle by cycle over-current protection. The output voltage drops and the all-string-open protection is triggered because of the low voltage at all IFB pins. The TPS61196 is latched off. 6. IFB over-voltage protection during startup When any of IFB pins reaches the threshold (VOVP_IFB) of 38V during startup, the IC stops switching and stays in latch-off immediately to protect from damage. In latch-off state, the REF pin voltage is discharged. 7. Output over-voltage protection using the OVP pin Use a resistor divider to program the maximum output voltage of the boost converter. To ensure the LED string can be turned on with setting current, the maximum output voltage must be higher than the forward voltage drop of the LED string. The maximum required voltage can be calculated by multiplying the maximum LED forward voltage (VFWD(max)) and number (n) of series LEDs , and adding extra 1V to account for regulation and resistor tolerances and load transients. The recommended bottom feedback resistor of the resistor divider (R4 in the SIMPLIFIED SCHEMATIC CIRCUIT) is 10kΩ. Calculate the top resistor (R3, in the SIMPLIFIED SCHEMATIC CIRCUIT) using Equation 6, where VOVP is the maximum output voltage of the boost converter. æV ö R3 = ç OVP - 1÷ ´ R4 è 3.02 ø (6) When the TPS61196 detects that the voltage at the OVP pin exceeds over voltage protection threshold of 3.02V, indicating that the output voltage has exceeded the clamp threshold voltage, the TPS61196 clamps the output voltage to the set threshold. When the OVP pin voltage does not drop from the OVP threshold for more than 500ms, the TPS61196 is latched off until the input power or the EN pin voltage is re-cycled. 8. Output short to ground protection When the inductor peak current reaches twice the switch current limit in each switching cycle, the IC immediately disables the boost controller until the fault is cleared. This protects the TPS61196 and external components from damage if the output is shorted to ground. 9. IFB short to ground protection The IFB pin short to ground makes the LED current uncontrollable if there is no protection. If the device tries to increase the boost converter’s output voltage to lift the IFB voltage, it will make the situation worse and the LED string may be burned due to the high current. The TPS61196 implements a protection mechanism to protect the LED string in this failure mode. If the IFB is short to ground before the TPS61196 is turned on, the TPS61196 detects the IFB voltage by sourcing a 60µA current during startup. If the IFB voltage is less than 0.4V during startup, the startup stops and the TPS61196 outputs fault indication so as to protect the LED string during start up. When a LED feedback pin is shorted to ground during normal operation, the TPS61196 first turns off this LED string for a very short time and detects the IFB voltage again. If the IFB voltage is lower than 1.8V, it sources a 60µA current and detects the IFB voltage again in off state. If the IFB voltage is still less than 1.8V, this means the IFB pin is shorted to ground. The boost converter is turned off and the REF voltage is discharged to ground to protect the LED string. 10. ISET short to ground protection The TPS61196 monitors the ISET pin voltage when the device is enabled. When the sourcing current from the ISET pin is larger than a threshold of 150μA, the TPS61196 disables the current sink because the ISET pin may be short to ground or the current setting resistor is too small. Once the current sourcing from the ISET pin recovers to the normal value, the current sink resumes working. 11. Thermal Protection 16 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2012–2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links :TPS61196 TPS61196 www.ti.com SLVSBG1C – OCTOBER 2012 – REVISED FEBRUARY 2013 When the IC junction temperature is over 150°C, the thermal protection circuit is triggered and shuts down the device immediately.

When the TPS61196 is operating normally, the voltage at the FAULT pin is low. When any fault condition happens, it is in high impedance, which can be pulled to high level through an external resistor. The FAULT pin can indicate following conditions: • Over voltage condition at the OVP or the IFB pin • LED short and open • IFB short to ground • ISET short to ground • Diode open and short • Output short circuit • Over temperature Multi-Chip Operation in Parallel When more LED strings are required in the application, the TPS61196 can work in master/slave mode. The TPS61196 can be set as slave device when the voltage at the FSW pin is below 0.5V or above 3.5V. The master TPS61196 has booster controller and outputs the power rail for all LED strings. The slave TPS61196 only works as a LED driver and feedbacks the required headroom voltage to the master by connecting the slave's COMP pin to the master's REF pin. The ISNS pin of the slave TPS61196 must be connected to ground. The slave's OVP pin voltage must be 3% higher than the voltage at the master's OVP pin. The slave device can combine all fault conditions happening on both master and slave devices by connecting the master's FAULT output to the FSW pin of the slave device. The slave’s FAULT pin outputs the indication signal for all fault conditions.

The inductor value, dc resistance and saturation current are important specifications to be considered for better performance. Although the boost power stage can be designed to operate in discontinuous mode at maximum load, where the inductor current ramps down to zero during each switching cycle, most applications will be more efficient if the power stage operates in continuous conduction mode, where a DC current flows through the inductor. Therefore, the Equation 8 and Equation 9 below are for CCM operation only. The TPS61196 is designed to work with inductor values between 10 µH and 100 µH, depending on the switching frequency. Running the controller at higher switching frequencies allows the use of smaller and/or lower profile inductors in the 10µH range. Running the controller at slower switching frequencies requires the use of larger inductors, near 100µH, to maintain the same inductor current ripple but may improve overall efficiency due to smaller switching losses. Inductor values can have ±20% tolerance with no current bias. When the inductor current approaches saturation level, its inductance can decrease 20% to 35% from the 0A value depending on how the inductor vendor defines saturation. In a boost regulator, the inductor DC current can be calculated with Equation 7. V ´ IOUT IL(DC) = OUT VIN ´ η (7) Where: VOUT = boost output voltage IOUT = boost output current VIN = boost input voltage η = power conversion efficiency, use 95% for TPS61196 applications The inductor current peak-to-peak ripple can be calculated with Equation 8. VIN ´ (VOUT - VIN ) DIL(P -P) = L ´ fSW ´ VOUT (8) Where: ΔIL(P-P) = inductor ripple current L = inductor value fSW = switching frequency VOUT = boost output voltage VIN = boost input voltage Therefore, the inductor peak current is calculated with Equation 9. DIL(P -P) IL(P) = IL(DC) + 2 (9) Select an inductor, which saturation current is higher than calculated peak current. To calculate the worst case inductor peak current, use the minimum input voltage, maximum output voltage and maximum load current. Regulator efficiency is dependent on the resistance of its high current path and switching losses associated with the switch FET and power diode. Besides the external switch FET, the overall efficiency is also affected by the inductor DC resistance (DCR). Usually the lower dc resistance shows higher efficiency. However, there is a trade off between DCR and inductor footprint; furthermore, shielded inductors typically have higher DCR than unshielded ones. Schottky Diode The TPS61196 demands a high-speed rectification for optimum efficiency. Ensure that the diode's average and peak current rating exceed the output LED current and inductor peak current. In addition, the diode's reverse breakdown voltage must exceed the application output voltage. Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2012–2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links :TPS61196 19 TPS61196 SLVSBG1C – OCTOBER 2012 – REVISED FEBRUARY 2013 www.ti.com Switch MOSFET and Gate Driver Resistor The TPS61196 demands a power N-MOSFET (see Q1 in SIMPLIFIED SCHEMATIC CIRCUIT) as a switch. The voltage and current rating of the MOSFET must be higher than the application output voltage and the inductor peak current. The applications benefit from the addition of a resistor (See R19 in SIMPLIFIED SCHEMATIC CIRCUIT) connected between the GDRV pin and the gate of the switch MOSFET. With this resistor, the gate driving current is limited and the EMI performance is improved. A 3-Ω resistor value is recommended. The TPS61196 exhibits lower efficiency when the resistor value is above 3Ω due to the more switching loss of the external MOSFET. Current Sense and Current Sense Filtering R7 determines the correct over current limit protection. To choose the right value of R7, start with the total system power needed POUT, and calculate the input current IIN by Equation 7. Efficiency can be estimated between 90% to 95%. The second step is to calculate the inductor peak current based on the inductor value L using Equation 8 and Equation 9. The maximum R7 can now be calculated as R7(max) = VISNS / IL(P). It is recommended to add 20% or more margins to account for component variations. A small filter placed on the ISNS pin improves performance of the converter (See R6 and C5 in SIMPLIFIED SCHEMATIC CIRCUIT). The time constant of this filter should be approximately 100ns. The range of R6 should be from about 100Ω to 1kΩ for best results. The C5 should be located as close as possible to the ISNS pin to provide noise immunity. Output Capacitor The output capacitor is mainly selected to meet the requirements for output ripple and loop stability of the whole system. This ripple voltage is related to the capacitance of the capacitor and its equivalent series resistance (ESR). Assuming a capacitor with zero ESR, the minimum capacitance needed for a given ripple can be calculated by: I ´ DMAX VRIPPLE(C) = OUT fSW ´ COUT (10) Where VRIPPLE is the peak to peak output voltage ripple and DMAX is the duty cycle of the boost converter. DMAX is approximately equal to (VOUT(MAX) – VIN(MIN) / VOUT(MAX)) in applications. Care must be taken when evaluating a capacitor’s derating under DC bias. The DC bias can also significantly reduce capacitance. Ceramic capacitors can loss as much as 50% of its capacitance at its rated voltage. Therefore, leave the margin on the voltage rating to ensure adequate capacitance. The ESR impact on the output ripple must be considered as well if tantalum or aluminum electrolytic capacitors are used. Assuming there is enough capacitance such that the ripple due to the capacitance can be ignored, the ESR needed to limit the VRIPPLE is: VRIPPLE(ESR) = IL(P) ´ ESR (11) Ripple current flowing through a capacitor’s ESR causes power dissipation in the capacitor. This power dissipation causes a temperature increase internally to the capacitor. Excessive temperature can seriously shorten the expected life of a capacitor. Capacitors have ripple current ratings that are dependent on ambient temperature and should not be exceeded. Therefore, high ripple current type electrolytic capacitor with small ESR is used in typical application as shown in SIMPLIFIED SCHEMATIC CIRCUIT. In the typical application, the output requires a capacitor in the range of 22µF to 220µF. The output capacitor affects the small signal control loop stability of the boost converter. If the output capacitor is below the range, the boost regulator may potentially become unstable. Loop Consideration The COMP pin on the TPS61196 is used for external compensation, allowing the loop response to be optimized for each application. The COMP pin is the output of the internal trans-conductance amplifier. The external resistor R8, along with ceramic capacitors C6 and C8 (see in SIMPLIFIED SCHEMATIC CIRCUIT), are connected to the COMP pin to provide poles and zero. The poles and zero, along with the inherent pole and zero in a peak current mode control boost converter, determine the closed loop frequency response. This is important to converter stability and transient response. The first step is to calculate the pole and the right half plane zero of the peak current mode boost converter by Equation 12 and Equation 13. 20 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2012–2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links :TPS61196 TPS61196 www.ti.com fP = SLVSBG1C – OCTOBER 2012 – REVISED FEBRUARY 2013 2IOUT 2πVOUT ´ COUT (12) 2 fZRHP = VOUT ´ (1- D ) 2πL ´ IOUT (13) To make the loop stable, the loop must have sufficient phase margin at the crossover frequency where the loop gain is 1. To avoid the effect of the right half plane zero on the loop stability, choose the crossover frequency less than 1/5 of the fZRHP. Then calculate the compensation components by Equation 14 and Equation 15. R7 ´ 2 πfco ´ COUT V R8 = ´ OVP (1- D ) ´ GmEA VOVPTH (14) Where VOVPTH = 3.02V, which is the internal reference for the output over-voltage-protection setting voltage. VOVP is the output over-voltage-protection setting voltage. GmEA is the trans-conductance of the error amplifier. Its typical value is 120μS. fCO is the crossover frequency, which normally is less than 1/5 of the fZRHP. 1 C6 = 2πfP ´ R8 (15) Where fP is the pole’s frequency of the power stage calculated by Equation 12. If the output cap is the electrolytic capacitor which may have large ESR, a capacitor is required to cancel the zero of the output capacitor. Equation 16 calculates the value of this capacitor. ´ RESR C C8 = OUT R8 (16) Layout Consideration As for all switching power supplies, especially those providing high current and using high switching frequencies, layout is an important design step. If layout is not carefully done, the regulator could show instability as well as EMI problems. Therefore, use wide and short traces for high current paths. The VDD capacitor, C3 (see in SIMPLIFIED SCHEMATIC CIRCUIT) is the filter and noise decoupling capacitor for the internal linear regulator powering the internal digital circuits. It should be placed as close as possible between the VDD and PGND pins to prevent any noise insertion to digital circuits. The switch node at the drain of Q1 carries high current with fast rising and falling edges. Therefore, the connection between this node to the inductor and the schottky diode should be kept as short and wide as possible. It is also beneficial to have the ground of the capacitor C3 close to the ground of the current sense resistor R7 since there is large driving current flowing between them. The ground of output capacitor EC2 should be kept close to input power ground or through a large ground plane because of the large ripple current returning to the input ground. When laying out signal grounds, it is recommended to use short traces separate from power ground traces and connect them together at a single point, for example on the thermal pad in the PWP package. Resistors R3, R4, R9, R10, R11 and R12 (see in the SIMPLIFIED SCHEMATIC CIRCUIT) are setting resistors for switching frequency, LED current, protection threshold and feedback voltage programming. To avoid unexpected noise coupling into the pins and affecting the accuracy, these resistors need to be close to the pins with short and wide traces to GND. In PWP package, the thermal pad needs to be soldered to the large ground plane on the PCB for better thermal performance. Additional thermal via can significantly improve power dissipation of the IC.

TI and TI suppliers consider certain information to be proprietary, and thus CAS numbers and other limited information may not be available for release. In no event shall TI's liability arising out of such information exceed the total purchase price of the TI part(s) at issue in this document sold by TI to Customer on an annual basis.

Buyers should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and complete. All semiconductor products (also referred to herein as “components”) are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale supplied at the time of order acknowledgment. TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TI’s terms and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily performed. TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide adequate design and operating safeguards. TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI. Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions. Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice. TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use of any TI components in safety-critical applications. In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms. No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use. Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory requirements in connection with such use. TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
