This control scheme initiates a switching cycle only when needed to maintain output voltage regulation, resulting in very high efficiency operation. During each switching cycle, the N-channel power MOSFET turns on, increasing the inductor current. The switching cycle terminates when either the inductor current reaches the current limit (1000mA) or when the cycle lasts longer than the maximum ontime of 4µs. Once the MOSFET turns off, it remains off for at least the minimum off-time of 320ns, then another switching begins when the error comparator detects that the output is falling out of regulation again. The over-voltage protection circuit detects this condition and switching ceases if the voltage at the OV pin reaches 1.21V. To set the maximum output voltage, connect a resistor divider from the output node to G, with center tap at OV, and select the two resistors with the following equation: ⎡⎛ V ⎞⎤ ROV 2 = ROV1 × ⎢⎜ OV ⎟ − 1⎥ ⎣⎝ 1.21V ⎠ ⎦ where VOV is the over voltage detection threshold, ROV1 is the resistor between OV and G, and ROV2 is the resistor from the output to the OV pin. As a first estimate, the OV threshold can often be set to 4V times the number of LEDs in the string. Setting the LED Current The LED current is programmed by appropriate selection of the feedback resistor RFB connected between FB and G. To set the LED current, choose the resistor according to the equation: Over Voltage Protection The ACT6360 includes internal over-voltage protection circuitry that monitors the OV pin voltage. Overvoltage protection is critical when one of the LEDs in the LED string fails as an open circuit. When this happens the feedback voltage drops to zero, and the control switches at maximum on time causing the output voltage to keep rising until it exceeds the maximum voltage rating of the power MOSFET. Innovative PowerTM -5- R FB = V FB I LED where VFB is the FB feedback voltage (typically 290mV at VEN = 3.3V) and ILED is the desired maximum LED current. www.active-semi.com Copyright © 2008 Active-Semi, Inc. ACT6360 Rev0, 23-May-08 Capacitor Selection The ACT6360 requires only a tiny 0.47µF output capacitor for most applications. For circuits driving 6 or fewer LEDs, a 4.7µF input capacitor is generally suitable. For circuits driving more than 6 LEDs, a 10µF input capacitor may be required. When choosing a larger inductor which results in CCM operation, stability and ripple can be improved by adding a small feed forward capacitor from OUT to FB. About 3000pF is a good starting point for most applications, although a larger value can be used to achieve best results in applications with 6 or fewer LEDs. Ceramic capacitors are recommended for most applications. For best performance, use X5R and X7R type ceramic capacitors, which possess less degradation in capacitance over voltage and temperature. Diode Selection The ACT6360 requires a Schottky diode as the rectifier. Select a low forward voltage drop Schottky diode with forward current (IF) rating that exceeds the peak current limit 1A and a peak repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM) rating that exceeds the maximum output voltage, typically set by the OV threshold. Shutdown The ACT6360 features a low-current shutdown mode. In shutdown mode, the control circuitry is disabled and the quiescent supply current drops to less than 1µA. To disable the IC, simply drive EN to a logic low. To enable the ICs, drive EN to a logic high or connect it to the input supply. Low Input Voltage Applications In applications that have low input voltage range, such as those powered from 2-3 AA cells, the ACT6360 may still be used if there is a suitable system supply (such as 3.3V) available to power the controller. In such an application, the inductor may be connected directly to the battery, while the IC power is supplied by the system supply.
