NCV7681
100 mA Linear Current
Regulator and Controller for
Automotive LED Lighting
The NCV7681 consists of eight linear programmable constant
current sources. The part is designed for use in the regulation and
control of LED based Rear Combination Lamps and blinking
functions for automotive applications. System design with the
NCV7681 allows for two programmed levels for stop (100% Duty
Cycle) and tail illumination (programmable Duty Cycle), or an
optional external PWM control can be implemented.
LED brightness levels are easily programmed (stop is programmed
to the absolute current value, tail is programmed to the duty cycle)
with two external resistors. The use of an optional external ballast FET
allows for power distribution on designs requiring high currents. Set
back power limit reduces the drive current during overvoltage
conditions. This is most useful for low power applications when no
external FET is used.
The device is available i n a S OIC−16 WB p ackage w ith e xposed p ad.

DETAILED OPERATING DESCRIPTION
General
The NCV7681 device is an eight channel LED driver
whose output currents up to 100 mA/channel are
programmed by an external resistor. The target application
for the device is in automotive Rear Combination Lighting
(RCL) systems.
The STOP logic input switches the two modes of the IC.
While i n the STOP mode (high), the duty cycle of the outputs
is at 100%. When ST OP is low, the duty cycle of the outputs
is programmed via an external resistor on the RTAIL pin.
A logic output (DIAG) communicates open circuit of the
LED driver outputs back to the microprocessor. DIAG
requires a pull−up resistor for proper operation.
An optional external control for a ballast transistor helps
distribute the system power.
Latch Off (NCV7681L)
The Latch Off feature applies only to the NCV7681L.
Automotive requirements sometime dictate all outputs
turn off if one of the outputs is an open circuit. This
eliminates driving with partial illuminated lights. The
module will either display all LED strings or no LED strings
at all. This function is designed into the NCV7681L.
Each output has its own sensing circuitry. An open string
detection on any output latches off all 8 outputs. There are
three means to reinitiate the IC drivers.
1. Forcing the DIAG pin below the Open Circuit
Reset Voltage (1.8 V typical).
2. Toggling the ENABLE input
3. A complete power down of the device below the
Under Voltage Lockout threshold including
hysteresis (3.9 V typical).
Open Load Detection
Open load detection has an under voltage lockout feature
to remove the possibility of turning off the device while it is
powering up. The Open Load Disable Threshold is 7.7 V
(typ). Open load detection becomes active above this
threshold. Current is monitored internal to the NCV7681
device and an open load is flagged when the current is 1/2
of the targeted output current.

DIAG
The logic DIAG pin’s main function is to alert the
controlling microprocessor an open string has occurred on
one of the outputs (DIAG high = open string). Reference
Table 1 for details on logic performance.
Open circuit conditions are reported when the outputs are
actively driven. When operating in STOP mode the DIAG
signal is a DC signal. When operating in TAIL the DIAG
signal is a PWM signal reporting open circuit when the
output drive is active.
Ballast Drive
The use of an external FET device (NVD2955) helps
distribute the system power. A DC voltage regulation system
is used which regulates the voltage at the top (anode) of the
LED strings (Vstring). This has the effect of limiting the
power in the NCV7681 by setting the voltage on the IOUTx
pins specific to each customer application. The Ballast Drive
pin provides the drive in the feedback loop from the FB pin.
In steady state, the voltage is regulated at the feedback
voltage (FB). A simple voltage divider helps set the voltage
at Vstring. Unlike other systems, the ballast drive current
does not turn off in a leakage state when turned off (FB high),
but instead provides 1 mA of current providing a faster
response o f the system loop. This sets the gate voltage of the
NVD2955 to 1 V at 25°C.
Parallel Outputs
The maximum rating per output is 100 mA. In order to
increase system level LED string current, parallel
combinations of any number of outputs is allowed.
Combining all 8 outputs will allow for a maximum system
level string current design of 800 mA.
Unused Outputs
Unused outputs should be shorted to ground. The
NCV7681 detects the condition during power−up using the
open load disable threshold and disables the open circuit
detection circuitry.
Programmability
Strings of LEDs are a common configuration for RCL
applications. The NCV7681 provides eight matched outputs
allowing individual string drive with current set by a single
resistor. Output currents are mirrored and matched within
±4% at hot temperature.
A high STOP condition sets the output current using
equation 1 below.
A low STOP condition, modulates the output currents at
a duty cycle (DC) programmed using equation 2 below.
Note, current limiting on RST OP limits the current which
can be referenced from the RSTOP Pin. Exceeding the
RST OP Current Limit will set the output current to less than
100 mA, and the DIAG Pin will go high. This helps limit
output current (brightness and power) for this type of fault.
The average ISTOP Duty Cycle current provides the
dimmed tail illumination function and assures a fixed
brightness level for tail. The PWM generators fixed
frequency (800 Hz typ.) oscillator allows flicker−free
illumination. PWM control is the preferred method for
dimming LEDs.
The diagnostic function allows the detection of an open in
any one of the output circuits. The active−low diagnostic
output ( DIAG) i s c oincident w ith t he S T OP i nput a nd t he O N
state in the tail mode. DIAG remains high (pulled up) if an
open load is detected in any LED string when ST OP is high.
Output Current Programming
Reference Figure 7 (typ performance graph) to choose
programming resistor (RSTOP) value for stop current.
Reference Figure 9 Typical Performance Graph (Duty Cycle
vs. RTAIL) to choose a typical value programming resistor
for output duty cycle (with a typical RSTOP value of
3.01 kW). Note the duty cycle is dependent on both RSTOP
and RTAIL values. RSTOP should always be chosen first as
the stop current is only dependent on this value.
Alternatively, the equations below can be used to calculate
a typical value and used for worst case analysis.
Set the Stop Current using RSTOP
IOUTX +150 @RSTOP_Bias_Voltage
RSTOP (eq. 1)
RSTOP Bias Voltage = 1 V (typ)
Set the Duty Cycle (DC) using RTAIL
RTAIL +1.8 @RSTOP(DC )0.22) (eq. 2)
DC = duty cycle expressed in fractional form. (e.g. 0.50
is equivalent to 50% duty cycle) (ground RTAIL when using
external modulation)
Output Current is directly tested per the electrical
parameter table to be ±10% (with RSTOP = 3.01 KW) or
45 mA (min), 50 mA (typ), 55 mA (max) at room and hot
temperature.
Duty Cycle will vary according to the changes in RTAIL
Voltage and R T AIL Bias Current (generated from the current
through RSTOP).
Voltage errors encompass generator errors (0.4 V to
2.2 V) and comparator errors and are included in testing as
the Duty Cycle. Typical duty cycle measurements are 5%
with RTAIL = 0.49 V and 70% with RTAIL = 1.66 V.
RTAIL Bias Current errors are measured as RTAIL Bias
Current and vary as 290 mA (min), 330 mA (typ), and 370 mA
(max) with RSTOP = 3.01 kW.
The e rror d uality o riginating f rom b oth t he i nternal c urrent
source generated on the RSTOP pin and the comparator
voltage thresholds of the RTAIL pin combined with the
choice of duty cycle levels make it difficult to specify duty
cycle minimum and maximum limits, but worst case
conditions can be calculated when considering the variation
in the voltage threshold and current source. Duty Cycle
variation must include the direct duty cycle as specified in
the electrical parameter table plus an additional error due to
the Irstop current which generates this voltage in the system.

RSTOP Over Current Protection
Over Current protection has been included for the RST OP
pin. Without protection, the device performance could cause
excessive high current and potential damage to the external
LEDs. Detection of the RSTOP over current event (RSTOP
to ground) is 1 mA (typ) and is current limited to 2.2 mA
(typ). Output drive currents will limit to typically 65 mA.
Note – A feature of the NCV7681 device includes
operation of the device during a short circuit on the RSTOP
pin. Iout is decreased during the STOP condition and the
TAIL duty cycle is reduced to less than 40% by reducing the
voltage on the RTAIL pin to 2/3 of normal operation.
Set Back Current
Automotive battery systems have wide variations in line
supply voltage. Low dropout is a key attribute for providing
consistent LED light output at low line voltage. Unlike
adjustable regulator based constant current source schemes
where the set point resistor resides in the load path, the
NCV7681’s set point resistor lies outside the LED load path,
and aids in the low dropout capability.
Setback Current Limit is employed during high voltage.
During a Setback Current Limit event, the drive current is
reduced resulting in lower power dissipation on the IC. This
occurs during high battery voltage (VP > 16 V). In this way
the NCV7681 can operate in extreme conditions and still
provide a controlled level of light output The Setback
Current (−20%) condition is reported on the DIAG Pin.
Activation of the set back current feature provides a
roll−off rate of −8%/V.
