XRP7613 1.2A 36V Step Down High Brightness LED Driver November 2012 Rev. 1.1.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION APPLICATIONS The XRP7613 is a non-synchronous step down converter with integrated FET optimized to drive high power LEDs at up to 1.2A of continuous current. A wide 7.0V to 36V input voltage range allows for single supply operations from industry standard 12V, 18V or 24V power rails. Based on a hysteretic PFM control scheme, the XRP7613 can operate at switching frequency of up to 1MHz and allows for small external components selection while providing very fast transient response and achieving excellent efficiency. The output current is programmable from 150mA to 1.2A through an external sense resistor. Output current dimming is supported through an analog signal or PWM logic signal at up to 40kHz. A dynamic LED current thermal control further enhances the reliability of the end application by linearly reducing the LED current as temperature raises. An open LED, LED short circuit, over temperature and under voltage lock out protection insures safe operations under abnormal operating conditions.

It uses 15% double-ended hysteresis to regulate the average LED current to the value programmed by RSET (refer to figure 1). Internal current through R1, R2, R3 is a scaled-down mirror of the LED and inductor current (refer to figure 2). Internal current is given by IINT=(VIN-VISEN)/R1. During the off time FETs N1 and N2 are off. Inductor current IL ramps down through the external Schottky diode. As IL decreases 15% below the average value, the decrease in mirror internal current triggers the comparator on. N1 and N2 turn on and on time commences. N2 shorts R3 and thereby increases the current required to trigger off the comparator. N1 grounds the inductor and IL ramps up. As IL increases 15% over its average value, the increase in mirror internal current triggers the comparator off and the cycle repeats. IL(avg) -15% LX Turn on delay = 280ns Fig. 19: Effect of Delay Time on Inductor Current Ripple SHUTDOWN CONTROL A shutdown control function is provided through the EN/DIM input pin. Connecting the EN/DIM input pin to ground or to a DC voltage lower than 200mV for longer than 20ms will completely shut down the XRP7613. In this state, the quiescent current is less than 35A and the internal reference, error amplifier, comparators, and biasing circuitry completely turned off. TURN ON AND TURN OFF DELAY As explained above when IL decreases 15% below the average current the comparator triggers on. However, it takes 280ns (nominal) before N1 turns on and LX transitions from high to low voltage (refer to figure 19). The turn on delay time results in inductor current ripple IL to exceed -15%. Because this delay imposes a lower bound on the N1 off time, it has been specified in the tabulated data as "Minimum Switch OFF Time". SETTING THE LED CURRENT The output current ILED of XRP7613 can be set by the external sense resistor RSET. The relationship between ILED and RSET is When IL increases 15% above the average current the comparator triggers off. There is a delay of 180ns before N1 turns off and LX transitions from low to high voltage. The turn off delay time pushes the IL above the +15% set by the hysteretic control. Because this delay imposes a lower bound on the N1 on time, it has been specified in the tabulated data as "Minimum Switch On Time". VSET can be determined from graphs in figures 6-8. As an example for the operating conditions ILED=350mA, VIN=24V, 3xLED; VSET=105mV from figure 6. OPERATING FREQUENCY The operating frequency of the XRP7613 can be calculated by the following equation Thus the switching frequency will be lower than expected because the turn on and turn off delay time increase IL to more than 30%. Graphs of typical switching frequency versus VIN for different operating conditions are shown in figures 16-18. (c) 2012 Exar Corporation Turn off delay = 180ns where fS is the operating frequency, TON is the switch on time and TOFF is the switch off time. 8/12 Rev. 1.1.0 XRP7613 1.2A 36V Step Down High Brightness LED Driver The switch on time can be calculated by the following equation the XRP7613 when DIM = H. The DIM signal needs to be greater than 1.3V minimum to turn-on and less than 200mV to fully turn-off the device. The maximum allowed PWM dimming frequency that can be applied is 40 KHz. The switch off time can be calculated by the following equation Analog Dimming The average current delivered to the LED, ie the LED brightness, can also be controlled by applying a variable DC voltage signal to the EN/DIM pin. where VIN is the input voltage A DC voltage greater than 1.25V will drive output LED current to 100% of the LED current as set by the external sense resistor RSET while a voltage lower than 200mV will shutdown the XRP7613. When analog dimming is required, the DC voltage range of EN/DIM should be between 0.4V to 1.25V in order modulating the average current delivered to the LED accordingly. VLED is the total LED forward voltage ILED is the LED average current RSET is current sense resistance RL is inductor resistance RDS(ON) is switch on resistance (0.5 typ.) L is the inductor value PROTECTIONS IL is the inductor peak to peak current VD is diode forward voltage at the LED average current. LED Open Circuit Protection Upon detection of an open-circuit on any LED connected to the XRP7613, the device will shut down. The recommended operating frequency should not exceed 1MHz. DIMMING CONTROL LED Short Circuit Protection The XRP7613 offers two ways of achieving LED dimming: standard PWM dimming and analog dimming. The EN/DIM input pin is used not only to control the XRP7613 shutdown but also the PWM and analog dimming functions. Upon detecting a short-circuit on any LED connected to the XRP7613, the device will maintain the LED current as set by the external sense resistor RSET. UVLO Protection If dimming and/or shutdown controls are not required, the EN/DIM pin can be left floating for automatic turn on upon application of proper VIN. The XRP7613 has an Under Voltage Lock-Out comparator to monitor the Input Voltage VIN. The VIN UVLO threshold is set internally: when VIN pin is greater than 6.0V the XRP7613 is permitted to start up pending the removal of all other faults. PWM Dimming A logic-level PWM signal applied to the EN/DIM pin can be used for PWM dimming control of the LEDs. This external signal turns the MOSFET gate drive on and off, thereby modulating the average current delivered to the LED proportional to the duty cycle of the PWM signal. The EN/DIM signal will shutdown the XRP7613 when EN/DIM = L and turn-on (c) 2012 Exar Corporation LED Thermal Protection The XRP7613 includes a LED thermal regulation circuit to prevent an over temperature situation on the LED. When the LED temperature rises above a predefined 9/12 Rev. 1.1.0 XRP7613 1.2A 36V Step Down High Brightness LED Driver threshold, the XRP7613 will reduce linearly the LED current from its nominal set value. capacitance, which can cause significant switching losses. A Schottky diode with a 2A current rating is adequate for most XRP7613 applications. INPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION Ceramic capacitors with their low ESR values and small size are ideal for the XRP7613 applications. When selecting an input capacitor, a low ESR capacitor is required to minimize the noise at the device input. It may be necessary to add an extra small value ceramic type capacitor in parallel with the input capacitor to prevent any possible ringing. Fig. 20: VTH Voltage The XRP7613 continuously monitors the LED temperature by measuring the voltage on its TH pin. The VTH voltage is created through a resistive network of a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor RTH and a fixed resistor RT between VREF pin and ground. INDUCTOR SELECTION Recommended inductor values for the XRP7613 are in the range of 22H to 68 H. The inductor selected should have low core losses and low DCR. By setting RT=10K and using a 103KT1608 thermistor, the voltage on the TH pin will reduce to 0.4V when the LED temperature reaches 70C. The LED average current will be decreased linearly when VTH is between 0.4V and 0.28V. If the LED temperature is over 90C, the voltage on the TH pin will reduce to 0.28V and the LED will be turned off in order to decrease the LED temperature. When the voltage on the TH pin rises to 0.3V, the LED will be turned on again. LAYOUT CONSIDERATION For proper operations of XRP7613, following guidelines should be followed. 1.The input capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the VIN pin in order to reduce the input voltage ripple and noise. 2.The inductor, internal power switch, Schottky diode, output capacitor and the LEDs should be kept as close as possible. If the LED thermal regulation function isn't required, the TH pin should be connected directly to VREF pin to disable this function. 3.PCB traces with large current should be kept short and wide. 5.Effect from noise can be reduced by placing the XRP7613 GND pin as close as possible to the ground pin of the input bypass capacitor. DIODE SELECTION Schottky diodes, with their low forward voltage drop and fast reverse recovery, are the ideal choices for any XRP7613 applications. The forward voltage drop of a Schottky diode represents the conduction losses in the diode, while the diode capacitance (CT or CD) represents the switching losses. For diode selection, both forward voltage drop and diode capacitance need to be considered. Schottky diodes with higher current ratings usually have lower forward voltage drop and larger diode (c) 2012 Exar Corporation the 6.The ISEN pin and VIN pin should be connected to the sense resistor directly. Traces should be routed away from any potential sources. 7.The VREF pin and TH pin should be connected to the LED thermal sense resistors directly. Traces should be routed away from any potential sources. 10/12 Rev. 1.1.0 XRP7613 1.2A 36V Step Down High Brightness LED Driver TYPICAL APPLICATION CIRCUITS Fig. 21: Typical Application Diagram PACKAGE SPECIFICATION 8-PIN EXPOSED PAD SOIC (c) 2012 Exar Corporation 11/12 Rev. 1.1.0 XRP7613 1.2A 36V Step Down High Brightness LED Driver REVISION HISTORY Revision Date Description 1.0.0 11/09/2012 Initial Release of Datasheet 1.1.0 11/26/2012 Corrected typographical error L=47H in Electrical Specification conditions.
