FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
LSP7706 is a high voltage, high current, and low dropout current regulator for maximum output current up to
1.1A. The OE pin is used for enabling/disabling the output stage of the chip. The current could be linearly adjusted
through external resister, RSET, connected to ISET pin, or by PWM control via OE pin. Although the absolute
maximum rating of OUT pin 75V, the dropout voltage between OUT pin and GND pin should not be too large when
current is sinking because of the heat dissipation capability of the package and PCB layout.
1. Setting LED Current
An external resistor RSET connected to ISET pin sets the sink current of OUT pin. The value of RSET is calculated
by the following formula:

2. PWM Dimming Control
LSP7706 provides PWM dimming control function through OE pin. Basically, by changing the duty cycle of the
PWM control signal, the ratio of LED ON-time to OFF-time can be changed. Consequently, larger duty cycle results
in larger average current for driving LED and thus higher luminance.
Ideally, the average LED driving current is in linear proportion to the duty cycle of the PWM control signal in
spite of the frequency. However, due to the inherent propagation delay of the chip and the rising/falling time of the
driving current, the deviation of the actual current from theoretical value will become larger when the PWM
frequency gets higher. That is, if the PWM frequency exceeds certain recommended value, the effect of the fixed
propagation delay and the rising/falling time of LED current on the linear relationship between the duty cycle and the
average current will become more apparent. On the other hand, if the PWM frequency is too low, the flicker will
become observable. Therefore, it is important to choose a suitable frequency for the PWM signal.
Please refer to the following timing chart & table for the limitation of maximum dimming frequency. It is
determined by the minimum duty ratio, DMIN, and the minimum LED “ON” time, tON,MIN. The maximum dimming
frequency, fPWM, can be calculated by the following formula:
