Introduction
This evaluation board has been designed to demonstrate the LM3423 low-side controller as a stepup/step-down (buck-boost) regulator to deliver constant current to high power LEDs. A complete circuit
schematic and bill of materials for the evaluation board are included at the end of this document. The
printed circuit board consists of two layers of two ounce copper on FR4 material. The LM3423 evaluation
board is designed so that all options available can be evaluated and tested. Most applications will only
require a few options therefore jumpers can be placed, or removed as needed. A schematic of the full
featured LM3423 evaluation board and its bill of materials is provided in this document. Simplified design
examples with schematics and a bill of materials follow.

Higher Input and / or Output Voltage Modifications
– Although the standard LM3423 evaluation board is designed to operate at input and output voltages
up to 35V, the device is capable of operating with input and output voltages up to 75V. Operation
up to 75V can be achieved by changing the voltage ratings of the input capacitors (C1, C8, C17),
output capacitors (C4, C7, C11, C16), and transistors Q4, Q5, Q7. For output voltages greater than
35V the OVP resistors R20 and R22 will need to be adjusted.
Board Connections and Configuration
Connecting the evaluation board to a power supply and load is accomplished through banana-plug type
connectors (refer to Table 1).

Board Features
This evaluation board has all the necessary connections and jumpers to evaluate the LM3423 controller in
a boost converter topology with the following operating features and options:
5.1
Setting Average LED Current
The LM3423 uses peak current-mode control to regulate the boosted output voltage. An external current
sense resistor RSENSE (i.e. R9) in series with the LED load is used to convert the LED current, ILED, into a
voltage that is sensed by HSP (pin 19) and HSN (pin 20). HSP and HSN are the inputs to a high side
sense amplifier that is used in combination with a resistor tied to CSH (pin 4) and an error amplifier to
program a desired ILED current.

Substituting in the resistor values as listed in the board schematic gives a fixed ILED current of 1A.
5.2
Setting the Current Sense Voltage
By substituting in different resistor values, the LED average current can be user adjusted. The LM3423
controller uses a high-side sense amplifier to regulate LED average current. The CSH pin is regulated by
the error amplifier to be VREF. Understanding how average LED current is regulated comes down to
understanding the relationship between VCSH and VSNS, because VSNS and RSNS set the LED current. The
high side amplifier in forces its input terminals to equal potential. Because of this, the VSNS voltage is
forced across RHSP. Another way to view this is that the amplifier’s output transistor pulls current through
R7 (RHSP) until VHSP = VHSN and this happens when the voltage across R7 is equal to VSNS.
The current flowing down to the CSH pin is given by,
ICSH = §

and the voltage at the CSH pin is then given by,
R17·
VCSH = (R17 x ICSH) = VSNS x §

(3)
The CSH voltage is the sense voltage gained up by the ratio of R17 to R7. In addition, the control
system’s error amplifier regulates the CSH voltage to VREF. Using equation 14, the following equations are
derived,
VSNS = VREF x § R7 ·

The above equations show how current in the LED relates to the regulated voltage VREF, which is

The selection of resistors is not arbitrary, for matching and noise performance, the CSH current should be
set to be around 100 µA. This current does not flow in the LEDs and will not affect either off state LED
current or the regulated LED current. CSH current can be above or below this value, but high side
amplifier offset characteristics and jitter performance may be affected slightly.
5.3
Inductor Selection
The inductor should be chosen so that the current ripple (ΔiL) is between 20% and 40% of the average
current () through the inductor.

Peak Current Limit
Due to its peak current-mode control architecture, the LM3423 has inherent cycle-to-cycle current limit
control. Inductor current flowing through the low-side power MOSFET (Q5) is sensed as a voltage
between IS (pin 17) and PGND (pin 14). This voltage is fed into an internal comparator which establishes
the peak current allowed during each switching cycle.
Two methods of switch current sensing are available on the evaluation board. The first is accomplished
through the use of an external sense resistor which allows for higher accuracy in sensing the peak current.
For the LM3423 evaluation board, the sense resistor R6 can be utilized using the jumper configuration as
described in Table 4.

(13)
Substituting in the resistor values as listed in the board schematic and an RDS(ON) of 0.025Ω for Q5
(SUD40N10-25) gives a current limit ICL of approximately 10A.
5.5
PWM Dimming
The average LED forward current is often controlled or reduced with a pulse-width modulated (PWM)
signal. By reducing the average LED current, light from the LEDs is reduced.
This dimming method allows the converter to operate the LEDs at a specific peak output current level (iL),
which is usually a set point determined by the LED manufacturer. This allows the LED to illuminate with a
consistent light color while still having the ability to reduce its lumens output.
The dimming frequency should be fast enough so that the ON and OFF blinking of the LEDs is not
perceived by the human eye. Usually the dimming frequency should be greater than 120 Hz, but less than
5 kHz for best results.
The LM3423 evaluation board implements PWM dimming by placing a series connected MOSFET in
series with the LED stack. The PWM signal is applied to this MOSFET, and the LED current is interrupted
when the MOSFET turns OFF.

Figure 6. Illustration of Current through LED Stack with PWM Dimming
The LM3423 evaluation board can be configured for either high-side PWM dimming or low-side PWM
dimming. The definition of high side dimming is when a MOSFET that interrupts the forward current
through the LED stack is placed on the anode side of the LED stack. Low side dimming places the
MOSFET on the cathode side of the LED stack. The PWM dimming signal should be applied to either the
BNC connector or test point TP6.
Dimming on the low-side (cathode) of the LED load is enabled using the jumper configuration described in
Table 6.

Shutdown Operation
The LM3423 can be configured for either a very low quiescent current shut down (“Zero Current” IQ < 1
µA), or the standard enable/disable configuration (IQ < 3 mA).
“Zero Current” is achieved by tying the bottom resistor of all external resistor dividers (i.e. VIN UVLO, OVP)
to the RPD Pin 18. Bias currents in the resistor dividers are essentially eliminated during shutdown. The
evaluation board is designed using the “zero” shutdown feature.
5.7
Fault Protection Flag
The LM3423 can be configured with fault protection by using the fault flag indicator FLT (pin 9).
When a fault condition is detected, the FLT pin will go high (pulled up to VIN by resistor R2).
5.8
Compensation
The LM3423’s error amplifier (EA) is a transconductance type amplifier, which allows for easy single-pin
compensation. When a capacitor is used on the output of the converter to reduce LED ripple current, a
two pole system results. To offset one of the two poles, and guarantee loop stability, a zero is introduced
at the output of the EA. This takes the form of a resistor in series with a compensation capacitor (R21 and
C5). The value of the EA resistor and capacitor is calculated to give the same RC time constant as the
output capacitor and the dynamic resistance (RD) of the LED string.
(rD-TOTAL x COUT) = (R21 x C5)
5.9
(14)
LED Dynamic Resistance
When the load is an LED or string of LEDs, the load resistance is replaced with the dynamic resistance
(rD) and the current sense resistor. LEDs are PN junction diodes, and their dynamic resistance shifts as
their forward current changes. Dividing VF by IF leads to incorrect results that are 5 to 10 times higher than
the true rD value.

Figure 7. Dynamic Resistance
1 Amp is a typical driving current for 3W LEDs, and the calculation below shows how the dynamic
resistance of a 5W white InGaN was determined at 1A:
ΔVF = 3.85V - 3.48V = 370 mV
ΔIF = 1.5A - 0A = 1.5A
rD = ΔVF / ΔIF = 370 mV / 1.5A = 250 mΩ
Dynamic resistances combine in series and parallel like linear resistors, hence for a string of 'n' seriesconnected LEDs the total dynamic resistance would be:
rD-TOTAL = n x rD + RSNS = 5(250 mV) + 100 mΩ = 1.35Ω
Now that we have calculated the dynamic resistance of our LED string, we can calculate the
compensation resistor and capacitor values (C5 and R21).
COUT = 330 µF and rD = 1.35Ω
rD-TOTAL x COUT = 1.95Ω x 220 µF = 430E-6
Choose C5 to equal 100 nF, therefore R21 equals 4.32 kΩ
5.10 Overvoltage Protection
An over-voltage protection (OVP) with programmable hysteresis feature is available on the LM3423 to
protect the device from damage when the boosted output voltage goes above a maximum value.
The OVP threshold is set up by the resister divider network of R22 and R20 which is referenced to the
regulated output voltage (VO). The OVP threshold and hysteresis can be programmed completely
independent of each other. OVP hysteresis is accomplished with an internal 23 µA current source that is
switched on and off into the impedance of the OVP set-point resistor divider. When the OVP pin exceeds
1.24V, the current source is activated to instantly raise the voltage at the OVP pin. When the OVP pin
voltage falls below the 1.24V threshold, the current source is turned off, causing the voltage at the OVP
pin to fall.

The evaluation board is already configured with OVP, and the VO OVP threshold is programmed on the
evaluation board to 55V with 13V of hysteresis. OVP will therefore release when VO reaches 42V (R20 =
562 kΩ, R22 = 12.4 kΩ).
5.11 Under-Voltage Protection
The LM3423 can be configured for under-voltage lockout (UVLO) protection with hysteresis using the
dimming input nDIM (pin 8) and a resistor divider from input voltage to ground. UVLO protects the power
devices during power supply startup and shutdown to prevent operation at voltages less than the minimum
operating input voltage. The UVLO threshold is set up by the resister divider network of R13 and R25 (see
Figure 9).

Evaluation Board Test Procedure
Proper Board Connections
Be sure to choose the correct wire size when connecting the source supply and load. Monitor the current
into and out of the unit under test (UUT). Monitor the voltages directly at the board terminals, as resistive
voltage drops along the wires may decrease measurement accuracy. The LM3423 evaluation board has
two pairs of positive and negative inputs connectors which allows for Kelvin connections to be made from
the power supplies to the evaluation board. These precautions are especially important during
measurement of conversion efficiency.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other
changes to its semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest
issue. 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.
