Introduction
The demonstration board included in this shipment is capable of converting a 176VAC to 305VAC input that
has been phase dimmed to drive multiple LED’s at up to 500 mA average current. The evaluation board
utilizing the LM3445 will automatically adjust the LED current and light output in relation to the triac firing
angle.
The target solution for this design was 230VAC input driving 8 series connected white LEDs. In this
configuration the LM3445 will run at a nominal switching frequency of 80 kHz and supply a maximum of
350 mA.
This is a four-layer board using the bottom and top layer for component placement. The demonstration
board can be modified to adjust the LED forward current, the number of series connected LEDs and
switching frequency.
A supplied bill of materials describes the parts used on this demonstration board. A schematic and layout
have also been included along with measured performance characteristics. The noted operation
restrictions are valid only for the demonstration board as shipped with the schematic below. As is, the
board is capable driving 8 to 16 series connected LEDs with noted performance, but the evaluation board
may be modified to accept fewer or additional series LEDs with some simple design modification. Refer to
Design Customizaton section and the LM3445 Triac Dimmable Offline LED Driver (SNVS570) data sheet
for detailed instructions.

WARNING
This LM3445 evaluation PCB is a non-isolated design. The ground
connection on the evaluation board is NOT referenced to earth
ground. If an oscilloscope ground lead is connected to the
evaluation board ground test point for analysis, and AC power is
applied, the fuse (F1) will fail open. The oscilloscope should be
powered via an isolation transformer before an oscilloscope
ground lead is connected to the evaluation board.

Design Customization Procedure
The LM3445 data sheet outlines a typical implementation and design procedure for a LM3445 based triacdimmable LED driver. One feature includes the use of a PNP transistor to translate the LED string voltage
and maintain a constant off time. This allows a constant LED current to be maintained regardless of the
number of series LEDs. For input voltages above 150VAC a suitable PNP transistor becomes difficult to
find. An alternate implementation uses a current source to supply a constant current to charge the off-time
capacitor. This circuit has been implemented on this demonstration board and is described below:

This method eliminates the need for the LED voltage translation transistor but requires adjustment to the
circuit values when a different LED string voltage is required and it is desired to keep the LED string
average current the same. Sample calculations illustrating the design procedure are shown below:

Holding Current
This LM3445 High Voltage demo board includes five circuit blocks (Figure 9) that work together to draw
additional current from the line at key points in the dimming cycle and ensure a minimum level of current is
drawn from the triac dimmer at all times. A description of their operation is outlined below. References are
made to Q1 and D9 which can be found on Figure 1.
• Triac edge detect circuit: When the triac fires a sharp edge is created that can be captured by a
properly sized R-C circuit. The combination of C5/C7 and R3/R4 create a negative pulse on R2 for a
reverse phase dimmer or a positive pulse on R2 for a forward phase dimmer. The pulse polarity
determines which subsequent block will use the signal.

Design Customization Procedure
www.ti.com
• Forward phase detect/Valley Fill Enable and Valley Fill triac holding current circuit: With Q3 turning
on with each rectified AC edge from a forward phase dimmer, a duty cycle divider is created that adjusts
the voltage at the anode of D2A. With the values implemented, the result is an average of ~2V at the
anode of D2A when the rising edge is present on R2 allowing the gate voltage of Q4 to rise and fall with
the valley fill diode cathode voltage VVF (VVF is connected to the cathode of D9) and turn Q4 on while the
valley fill circuit is providing power to the load. Additional loading at this time is important because as the
valley fill capacitors are providing current to the load, no current is being provided by the input through the
triac and a condition for triac mis-fire would otherwise be created. When a fast rising edge is not present,
Q3 will remain off and the D2A anode voltage and Q4 gate will rise to VCC and ensure Q4 will not turn on.
The final piece of the circuit is D2B. The cathode of D9 can rise to ½Vin while the valley fill capacitors are
charging. Since the Q4 gate is rated at ±20 volts a diode is added from the gate to VCC clamping this point
at a diode drop above VCC. When using a reverse phase dimmer the waveform edge rises with the line
frequency requiring ~4ms to reach the peak. This is not a fast enough edge to create a signal at the base
of Q3 meaning this circuit will naturally not operate when using a reverse phase dimmer or when no
dimmer is present.
• Linear RHOLD Insertion circuit : Adds holding current as LEDs are dimmed to 50% or lower. A variable
voltage between 0 and 5 volts is generated at the Q1 gate by averaging the DIM pin 5.9kHz square wave.
The DIM pin, normally an input, is used as an output in this implementation as it outputs a square wave
with a duty cycle that varies with triac firing angle. As the LEDs are dimmed, the voltage at the Q1 gate
will rise pulling a current equal to the Q1 source voltage divided by R36.
• Reverse phase holding current circuit: Adds holding current when a reverse phase triac edge is
detected. The triac edge detect R-C creates a negative pulse on the emitter of Q2 each cycle a reverse
phase dimmer is present and dimming. This turns on Q10 and connects R12 to the Q9 pass FET adding
holding current and sharpening the turn-off of the reverse phase dimmer.

Output Variation without Component Adjustment
If the variation of converter operating parameters is not a concern, the number of LEDs can be adjusted
without changes to the evaluation board component values. The effects of changing the LED string
voltage without adjustment of the values can be seen below. This can also be used as a guide to
understand the variation that will be seen if the LED string voltage does change during operation. With the
present design the net change was approximately 18.7 mA and 1.35 kHz per LED or approximately
5.5 mA and 400Hz per volt.

Figure 10. Output Variation w/0 Component Adjustment
If variation due to a change in string voltage is a concern, these effects can be minimized by increasing
the inductance value and/or raising the switching frequency.
A larger inductance reduces the peak-to-peak ripple current. If made large enough it will become the
dominant parameter effecting the peak-to-peak ripple current. If the peak-to-peak current variation can be
minimized, so will the average output current.
8.6
Thermal Limitation
All triac holding current is drawn through the stand-off FET Q9. At approximately 50% dimming (90° firing
angle) the power dissipation in Q9 is at its maxmimum.
If it is desired to dim for an extended period at this operating point the input voltage should be limited to a
maximum of 240VAC.

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.
