3.1
Introduction
The ILD2111 is a high-performance digital microcontroller-based DC/DC buck LED controller designed as a
constant current source with hysteretic output current regulation. The controller typically uses a floating buck
topology operating in a Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM). In order to reduce switching losses and increase
efficiency, as well as to control the switching frequency over a wide variety of external component values, input
voltage and load variations, a frequency ripple control is introduced. Both internal and external temperature
measurements are implemented and accompanied with an intelligent temperature protection algorithm with two
threshold values. The controller utilizes a variety of protection features, including overpower, open and short
load conditions. The ILD2111 is a dimmable device controlled by an external PWM signal. The device can be
parameterized by means of a single pin UART interface at the REF/SC pin (see Section 3.9). A complete
top-level device operation process, including protection and error handling, is shown in Figure 4. Table 3-1
shows device operating statuses, buck statuses associated with the buck state machine, as well as error and
associated error codes. The buck state machine diagram is shown in Figure 5.

3.3.1
Configurable Leading Edge Blanking (LEB) and Sampling Time at Pin CS
A configurable leading edge blanking time tCSLEB is integrated into the current sensing path to provide more
accurate output current sensing and regulation. Leading-edge spikes during the PowerMOS switch-on phase,
as shown in Figure 6, can affect sampled output current values, resulting in imprecise current sensing. The LEB
time is used to prevent false overcurrent detection, while the sample time defines the moment of the current
sampling for A/D conversion. The time tCSLEB and the sampling time are configured by the constants
CS_blanking_time and CS_sample_time respectively (see Table 3-19) in order to provide output current
sampling at the moment when no spikes are present.

Configurable Gate Driver Output
The gate driver output (GD0) can be configured with respect to the final voltage level and gate drive current,
which influence the rising voltage slope for switching on the external PowerMOS (see Figure 7) and therefore a
switch-on time. A compromise should and could be made between switching power losses and electromagnetic
radiation by using these parameters (especially gate drive current values). The output gate voltage VGDH and
gate current IGD can be programmed by the parameters, providing an adjustable PowerMOS turn-on time. The
programmable output gate voltage range is from 4.5 V to 15 V (see Table 3-8). VGDH cannot be higher than the
power supply voltage VCC, regardless of the programmed value. The programmable gate current range is from
30 mA to 118 mA (see Table 3-8). Figure 7 shows the gate driver output voltage signal. Different rising slopes
correspond to different gate driving currents. The slope is proportional to the current.

Functional Description
3.3.3
Reference Current Setup
The reference current value is obtained by measurement using the value of the external resistor R_iset
connected to the pin ‘REF/SC’ together with the reference capacitor C_ref via the discharge time of the
capacitor (see Figure 8 and Figure 9). Depending on the resistance of R_iset, the appropriate reference
current, stored in a table of 16 currents (see Table 3-12), is used as a reference for the output current. The
reference current setup procedure (I-set) will always be executed during the startup sequence or during Open
output protection recovery – see Section 3.6.4.
When the internal switch SW is turned on for a short period of time defined by the constant
RC_cap_charge_time (see Table 3-19) while the digital output is high, the C_ref is fully charged to Vcref, where
this voltage depends on the internal VDDP voltage and voltage divider R_ref_sc – R_iset. R_ref_sc is used for
decoupling the reference current measurement circuitry and serial UART communication. Care must be taken
that the ratio of R_iset to R_ref_sc is sufficient to have only a low impact on Vcref. Otherwise, it has to be
included in the time thresholds calculation. When the switch is turned off, the C_ref discharges through the
external resistor R_iset. The discharging time of the capacitor C_ref depends on the value of the external
resistor. During the discharging interval, the pin voltage is measured by ADC while an internal timer measures
the discharging time. When the capacitor voltage drops below the constant threshold level V_adc_th (constant
V_ADC_th, see Table 3-13), the internal timer value is latched and used to determine the reference current
from the predefined I-set table.

The charging voltage Vcref is calculated as:
𝑉𝑐𝑟𝑒𝑓 =
𝑅_𝑖𝑠𝑒𝑡
𝑅_𝑖𝑠𝑒𝑡+𝑅_𝑟𝑒𝑓_𝑠𝑐
∙ 𝑉_𝑟𝑒𝑓_𝑟𝑐_𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑟𝑔𝑒.
(1)
The equation for V_adc_th is:
𝑉_𝑎𝑑𝑐_𝑡ℎ = 𝑉𝑐𝑟𝑒𝑓 ∙ 𝑒
−
𝑡𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑟𝑔𝑒
𝑅_𝑖𝑠𝑒𝑡∙𝐶_𝑟𝑒𝑓
.
(2)
Therefore:
𝑉𝑐𝑟𝑒𝑓
𝑡𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑟𝑔𝑒 = 𝑅_𝑖𝑠𝑒𝑡 ∙ 𝐶_𝑟𝑒𝑓 ∙ 𝑙𝑛 𝑉_𝑎𝑑𝑐_𝑡ℎ.
(3)
If a lower voltage threshold is not reached after the predefined time-out period ttimeout (constant
RC_measurement_timeout, see Table 3-19), the reference current determination process ends and the last
value from the current table is taken as the reference (Ref_current_16, see Table 3-12). Component values and
their tolerances must provide unique thresholds in order to be detected appropriately (see Figure 10).
More accurate equations will be obtained if typical component tolerance values are included.
The following are assumed:
Maximum reference resistance: R_iset_max(n) = R_iset(n) + R_iset_tolerance
Minimum reference resistance: R_iset_min(n) = R_iset(n) - R_iset_tolerance
Maximum reference capacitance: C_ref_max = C_ref + C_ref_tolerance
Minimum reference capacitance: C_ref_min = C_ref - C_ref_tolerance

The reference resistance R_ref_sc is used to decouple the UART interface and current set resistance R_iset due to
multiplexed functionality of the REF/SC pin. In this case, the tolerance of the R_ref_sc resistance is not taken into account
(its tolerance is ignored).

Examples of C_ref_tolerance are the tolerance of the used capacitor as well as the cable capacitance that connects R_iset
to the detection circuit.

(9)
The measured discharge time - tdischarge is compared with the calculated thresholds, beginning with the smallest,
and based on that, it will be determined which reference resistor is detected, hence reference output current.
For example, if the measured discharge time is greater than vREF_TIME_01, vREF_TIME_02, vREF_TIME_03
th
and smaller than vREF_TIME_04, the 4 reference resistor and reference current from the list will be chosen
(see Table 3-3).
The ratio between the maximum and minimum current has to be equal to or less than 4 (I_ref_max / I_ref_min ≤
4) for best current accuracy. For example, if the minimum reference current is 250 mA, the maximum reference
current from the range should not exceed 1000 mA.

Revision 1.0, 2015-04-08
ILD2111
Functional Description
The components (R_iset, C_ref) must be carefully selected to avoid overlapping time intervals, because in that
case an appropriate threshold could not be calculated to provide unique detection. For example, if the
resistance values are too close (including tolerances), discharge time intervals will overlap, and calculated
thresholds will be set inside the overlapped area. Therefore it cannot be guaranteed that the same current will
be selected across different IC production series and external component tolerances.
Reference current determination only takes place during the initial chip startup and after the load has been
disconnected - open output is detected. During normal buck operation, the REF/SC pin can be used as a
communication port.
Example
For typical applications, which cover – for example – the outputs ranging from 250 mA to 800 mA (in 50 mA
steps), reference resistor values for the specific current values (assuming C_ref = 10 nF and threshold voltage
value of V_adc_th = 0.6075 V) are given in Table 3-3. Resistors from the series E96 with a variation (tolerance)
of 1% are used. The reference pin serial resistor is R_ref_sc = 3.3 kΩ. The recommended capacitor C_ref
1
tolerance should be ≤ 5% . The recommended C_ref capacitor type is a zero-drift CoG (NPO).

Although, typically, the application uses less than 16 reference currents, all parameters
(Ref_current_01- Ref_current_16, see Table 3-12) must be filled (arranged) in 4 groups, using copies with the
same reference current. It is assumed that approximately the same currents have approximately the same
parameters. Thereafter, all appropriate reference time thresholds (Reference_time_01 – Reference_time_16)
will be automatically allocated to the groups (see Table 3-19). Each group consists of four consecutive currents
and each group is associated with the unique set of FRC parameters. The currents from the same group will
have the same minimum and maximum switching frequency limits and minimum and maximum current ripple
limits as well (see Table 3-20).
One possible arrangement is given below in Table 3-4.

For different component tolerances, different discharge times will be obtained by equations. The resistor values in Table
3-3 are given as examples. The number of different reference resistor values must match the number of different reference
currents. For different applications (different output currents and output power), different values of the external resistors can
be taken.

Output Current Control and Measuring
The output current is measured at the CS pin by means of an external shunt resistor. The controller, using
floating buck topology, operates in a Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM) and is realized as a hysteretic current
controller. The average output current is regulated using minimum and maximum currents (IMAX and IMIN, see
Figure 11). Maximum and minimum current values are defined with respect to allowed output current ripple.
The maximum current is set as a true analog comparator threshold value using an internal DAC. The minimum
current value is regulated by the internal PI regulator controlling TOFF time.
When the MOSFET is turned on, TON is approximately given as follows (all resistances and voltage drops of
used components are neglected):
𝑇𝑂𝑁 = (𝐼𝑀𝐴𝑋 − 𝐼𝑀𝐼𝑁 ) ∙ 𝑉

Figure 11. Sampled Current
When the current reaches its maximum value (IMAX), the MOSFET is turned off for a duration of TOFF, which is
defined by the output of the PI regulator. After this interval elapses, the MOSFET is turned on again, the
minimum current (IMIN) is sampled and the mean current for the entire PWM interval is calculated as:
𝐼𝑀𝐸𝐴𝑁 =

.

The minimum current samples are averaged and averaging happens every 16 switching cycles. This average
value is then compared to a reference providing an error signal for the PI regulator, as shown in Figure 12.
Based on that error, the PI regulator calculates the new TOFF time resulting in output current regulation, hence
closing the regulation loop.

Functional Description
PI regulator parameters can be adjusted for faster transient response (dynamic behavior) during startup and
more stable output current during normal steady-state operation. These constants (PI_shift_softstart_lc,
PI_gain_shift_softstart_hc, PI_gain_shift_lc and PI_gain_shift_hc, see Table 3-17) are divided into two groups
depending on the current range (constant Ref_current_HCTH, see Table 3-14) and operating conditions
(startup or normal). Constants for low currents (low range - LC) typically have larger values than high current
parameter values (high range - HC) because, for lower currents, the error signal has to be multiplied by a larger
number (Gain) to obtain appropriate behavior regarding response and stability of the output current.
3.3.5
Current Startup, Soft-Start and Shutdown Control
Current soft-start and shutdown control is implemented in order to keep the input voltage VIN and supply voltage
VCC, which come from the primary stage (usually a flyback converter with a transformer auxiliary winding for
VCC voltage), within the operating range and stable.
During the soft-start time, the output (mean) current increases slowly with programmable parameters. The
startup current is defined by the constant Softstart_start_curr (see Table 3-16). Current and time steps are
defined by the constant Softstart_curr_step (see Table 3-16) and parameter Softstart_time_step respectively
(see Table 3-11, green line in Figure 13). The time step can be set as a number of system ticks (the default
value is 100 μs). If any of the step (ICSUS = Softstart_curr_step or tCSUS = Softstart_time_step) values is zero, the
buck converter will start with a 100% current, and without soft-start.
During soft shutdown time, the output current decreases slowly with programmable current and time steps
(constant Softshutdown_curr_step - Table 3-16 and parameter Softshutdown_time_step - Table 3-11, see red
line in Figure 13). Hence, the input voltage VIN and supply voltage VCC remain in the operating range and the
device will work correctly.
If the soft shutdown is not enough to provide an appropriate operating range (for VIN and VCC), some minimum
current (ERROR CURRENT – IERROR) defined by the parameters Err_refcurrent_max and Err_refcurrent_min
(see Table 3-9 and Figure 13) will be generated for a defined time period (error time). When this time interval
has elapsed (Error time timeout – constant Err_current_time, see Table 3-14), the output current is zero. If the
current soft shutdown is not needed, it is necessary to set either the parameter to zero (ICSDS =
Softshutdown_curr_step or tCSDS = Softshutdown_time_step).

Current Ripple vs. Switching Frequency Control Scheme
The switching frequency and output current ripple must be handled in such a way as to ensure that the
efficiency is as high as possible and that the ripple is in a proper range with sufficient margin to the specified
maximum. Two options for implementing a suitable system are described below.
3.4.1
Fixed Current Ripple
For a fixed current ripple, it is necessary to choose an appropriate value for the current ripple (parameter
Curr_ripple_perc, see Table 3-12) so the switching frequency does not exceed the maximum allowed frequency
around the output voltage VOUT = VIN/2. The maximum switching frequency should not exceed 250 kHz.
Examples for three different current values are shown in Figure 14.

Frequency and Ripple Control
The ILD2111 supports a powerful Frequency Ripple Controller (FRC) because the switching frequency of the
Buck converter is not constant due to different loads (different number of LEDs leading to different output
voltages). The main idea is to stabilize the operating point within configurable limits (operating area – green
field, see Figure 15). During startup and normal operation, the frequency-ripple control update interval is
defined by the constants FRC_reg_interval_start and FRC_reg_interval_oper (see Table 3-20). The number of
FRC passes, before being considered steady, is defined by the constant FRC_pass_oper_th (see Table 3-20).

All reference current values will be arranged in four groups (see Table 3-12) where currents from the same
group have the same switching frequency and current ripple limits, as explained in Section 3.3.3.
For each group, there are predefined (available) parameters and constants (see Table 3-12 and Table 3-20):
1) Curr_ripple_perc – Initial (starting) current ripple (in percentage form).
2) Curr_ripple_min_(group) – Minimum allowed ripple value (minimum absolute output current ripple
value, Iripple_min in mA, not in percentage form).
3) Curr_ripple_max_(group) – Maximum allowed ripple value (maximum absolute output current ripple
value, Iripple_max in mA, not in percentage form).
4) FRC_freq_min_limit_(group) – Maximum allowed TPWM (defining the minimum switching frequency
allowed, fsw_min).
5) FRC_freq_max_limit_(group) – Minimum allowed TPWM (defining the maximum switching frequency
allowed, fsw_max).

Functional Description
An example is provided below for better understanding. The following parameters apply in this example for IOUT
= 350 mA:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Iripple_init = 30% (or 105 mA) – Initial starting current ripple.
Iripple_min = 25% (or 87.5 mA) – Minimum allowed current ripple.
Iripple_max = 50% (or 175 mA) – Maximum allowed current ripple.
fsw_min = 100 kHz (or TPWM_max = 1/fsw_min = 10 µs) – Minimum allowed switching frequency.
fsw_max = 150 kHz (or TPWM_min = 1/fsw_max = 6.67 µs) – Maximum allowed switching frequency.
The Frequency Ripple Control algorithm works as following:
The system begins to operate with the defined ripple, which is given as a percentage of the average current
(e.g. Iripple_init = 30% IOUT). This value is used to calculate the maximum (adding the half-ripple value to the
reference current value) and minimum (subtracting the half-ripple value to the reference current value)
hysteretic currents. There are several possible cases depending on the output voltage:
1) If the achieved operating frequency is within allowed borders (defined by fsw_min and fsw_max), and the
starting value of the ripple is within allowed absolute ripple borders (defined by Iripple_min and Iripple_max), no
correction will be performed (e.g. Vout = 10 V – orange curve, operating point B is in the operating area,
B=B’, see Figure 16).
2) If the achieved operating frequency is above the maximum allowed switching frequency f sw_max (e.g.
Vout = 15 V – grey curve, point C; Vout = 20 V – yellow curve, point D), the firmware will start to slowly
increase the ripple in order to lower the operating frequency (the slope of this increasing ripple depends
on the buck inductance LEXT, see equation (12) on page 17). It will continue increasing the ripple until
the frequency falls below the high threshold fsw_max (corrected points C’ and D’, see Figure 16).
3) If the achieved operating frequency is above the maximum allowed switching frequency f sw_max (e.g.
Vout = 25 V – dark blue curve, point E; Vout = 30 V – green curve, point F), the firmware will start to
slowly increase the ripple in order to lower the operating frequency (the slope of this increasing ripple
depends on the buck inductance LEXT, see equation (12) on page 17). It will continue increasing the
ripple until it hits its maximum allowed value Iripple_max. The switching frequency will be determined by
Iripple_max and could be outside the predefined borders (corrected points E’ and F’, see Figure 17).
4) If the achieved operating frequency is below the minimum allowed switching frequency fsw_min (e.g. Vout
= 5 V – blue curve, point A), the firmware will start to slowly decrease the ripple in order to raise the
operating frequency (the slope of this decreasing ripple depends on the buck inductance LEXT, see
equation (12) on page 17). It will continue decreasing the ripple until the frequency reaches the low
threshold value defined by the parameter fsw_min, or if the ripple hits the minimum allowed value defined
by the parameter Iripple_min. In this case, the switching frequency could be outside the predefined borders
(corrected point A’, see Figure 17).

Frequency Ripple Controller behavior depends on the output voltage load as mentioned before. As can be seen
in previous figures, the FRC regulates the switching frequency and current ripple for this dedicated example as
follows:
st
1 area – Vout 45 V (near VIN) approximately: TOFF_min criteria have the highest priority , so the
frequency and ripple will have the values determined by the external hardware components (not by
FRC) and can be outside the defined limits.
1
If the high voltage load is applied at the output (large number of LEDs, the output voltage is near the input voltage), the
operating frequency will be low and if it falls below f sw_min, the frequency-ripple controller will start to correct it by decreasing
the ripple value, as described above. On the other hand, due to the high output voltage, TOFF is quite short (see equation
(11) on page 17). It is very important that the turn-off time must be longer than the predefined TOFF_min time (constant
Toff_min, see Table 3-19), because during that time all calculations must be performed before starting a new cycle. At that
point, the frequency-ripple controller starts to increase the ripple again in order to meet TOFF_min criteria. The final outcome is
that the current ripple and switching frequency could stay outside the predefined limits (above I ripple_max and below fsw_min
respectively) – point G’ in Figure 21. If TOFF falls below the minimum allowed value (low ripple means short T OFF time for
constant output voltage), the regulator cannot maintain the average current any longer, therefore influencing accuracy. If
parameters are configured properly, any of above mentioned actions lead to stable operating conditions for the given
current/load situation. However, there is drift in the operating frequency produced by the input voltage ripple that has to be
taken into account when deciding on parameter values. The frequency ripple controller will always try to put the operating
point into the operating area, but its final position will depend on the other criteria that affect its position.

Input Voltage Measurement and Calibration
There are some indirect measurements, like the output voltage VOUT and output power POUT, that take input
voltage measurement as an input. Therefore the accuracy of those measurements depends on the input voltage
VIN accuracy, and typically is lower due to the accuracies of other variables. Therefore it is important that the
input voltage is accurately measured. The input voltage is sensed at the VIN pin. A filter capacitor CVIN (typically
100 nF) is used for voltage (at the pin VIN) filtering of conductive and electromagnetic interference caused by
the converter switching operation. The measurement circuit is shown in Figure 22 below.

Figure 22. Input Voltage Measurement Schematic
Two measurement ranges related to the VIN pin are implemented. They are called current ranges because
calibration is based on the current flowing into the VIN pin. The two ranges use a different value of the internal
shunt resistor, where ADC measures the voltage drop. The reason for calibration is to make results independent
of RSHUNT production tolerance by including the measured value of RSHUNT as part of internal chip calibration data
during chip production.
Nominal shunt values for an appropriate current range are as follows:
1) Current range 00b => IMEAS = 209 µA, RSHUNT = 6690 Ω.
2) Current range 01b => IMEAS = 1.6 mA, RSHUNT = 1490 Ω.
The current range is defined by the parameter Vin_current_range (see Table 3-8).
Depending on the input voltage range to be measured, for lower power dissipation, the value of the external
resistor R_vin and the maximum current measurement range must be chosen carefully. Especially for high VIN
voltage (bus voltage), power dissipation needs to be considered as part of system losses.
For more details, see the examples below.

Examples:
1) If the maximum bus voltage is high, e.g. VINMAX = 500 V, the current measurement range (209 µA)
should be chosen to minimize power dissipation over R_vin. The value of the external resistor R_vin is
obtained from the equation below (209 µA would ideally be full scale at the ADC; to achieve accurate
measurement over the production spread of ILD2111, use a margin factor of 75%).

Table 3-5 gives an overview of the supported protection features. Two protection modes are implemented (auto
restart mode and latch mode), which can be entered. Protection features can be configured by the parameters
that are shown in Table 3-9 and Table 3-10. An error counter counts errors up to 4 restarts, defined by the
constant value Err_restart_tries (see Table 3-14). The error counter is reset when the device operates without
additional errors for the time defined by the constant Err_cnt_clear_time (see Table 3-14), or at the startup
sequence, e.g. if VCC falls below the voltage threshold (see Table 4-4).

Undervoltage Protection for DC Input Line – VIN Undervoltage
Undervoltage protection for the DC input line prevents the device from operating with an excessively low VIN
voltage. If the input voltage is below the specified value, the output current is turned off. The device waits until
the input undervoltage (low voltage value) condition is removed (Vin_min_start is met) and then starts with
output current generation again. There are two hysteretic input voltage values that are used as thresholds
1
during the startup sequence (upper threshold value – parameter Vin_min_start, see Table 3-9) and during
1
operation (lower threshold value – parameter Vin_min_oper, see Table 3-9) . If the input voltage is VIN
< Vin_min_oper during operation, the buck converter will be shut down and will wait for the VIN startup condition
(when Vin_min_start is reached). This event does not affect the error counter.
3.6.2
Overvoltage Protection for DC Input Line – VIN Overvoltage
Overvoltage protection for the DC input line prevents the device from operating with an excessively high VIN
voltage. After the overvoltage condition on input is detected, the output current is turned off. The device waits for
the input overvoltage condition to be removed (Vin_max_start is met) and then starts output current generation
again. There are two hysteretic input voltage values that are used as thresholds during the startup sequence
1
(lower threshold value – parameter Vin_max_start, see Table 3-9) and during operation (upper threshold value
1
– parameter Vin_max_oper, see Table 3-9) . If the input voltage is VIN > Vin_max_oper during operation, the
buck converter will be shut down and will wait for the VIN startup condition (when Vin_max_start is reached).
This event does not affect the error counter.
3.6.3
Output Undervoltage Protection – VOUT Undervoltage
Output undervoltage protection prevents the device from operating with an excessively low output voltage
VLEDmin or when LED output is lowered. If the output voltage is lower than the minimum value VOUT < Vout_min,
an undervoltage output is detected, and the device enters error auto-restart mode with 4 tries (restarts) –
constant Err_restart_tries (see Table 3-14). After 4 failed attempts, the device enters latch mode. The minimum
output operating voltage value is programmable (parameter Vout_min, Table 3-9). Undervoltage output is
checked during steady-state condition, after completing soft-start. The restart timeout startup delay is predefined
by the constant Err_restart_time (see Table 3-14).
3.6.4
Open Output Protection
Open output protection prevents the device from operating when no load on output is detected. It is
detected when the time to achieve IMAX (see Figure 11) exceeds the value of the parameter Open_out_timeout
2
(see Table 3-14) . If the open output condition is detected, the device enters error auto-restart mode with 4 tries
(restarts) – constant Err_restart_tries (see Table 3-14). In each attempt, the device executes the reference
resistor reading procedure (I-set procedure, see Section 3.3.3). The duration of the I-set procedure is defined by
the parameter RC_measurement_timeout (duration = 2 · RC_measurement_timeout, see Table 3-19). The
restart timeout startup delay is predefined by the constant Err_restart_time (see Table 3-14). After 4 failed
attempts, the device enters latch mode. The total duration of the restart attempt can be obtained as the sum of
the two above-mentioned times (I-set procedure + restart timeout). If the LED lighting load is connected (or
replaced) at the output between two restart attempts, the I-set procedure will detect the new R_iset resistance
and the buck converter will try to start with the newly determined reference current.
1
To minimize the impact of fluctuations on the exact VIN voltage value, filtering is implemented using a first-order filter whose
coefficient is defined by the constant Vin_filt_coef (see Table 3-14)
2
During buck ‘on time’ TON (see Figure 11), the gate driver stays constantly ‘high’ until IMAX is reached, or Open_out_timeout
expires. This can lead to a long ‘high’ time. In case there is a ‘high side driver’ circuit between the ILD2111 gate drive and
MOSFET gate, proper functionality for all operating conditions needs to be considered. A stable OCP1 value (IMAX) is
obtained by filtering defined by the constant Alt_OCP1_filt_stable (see Table 3-14)

Functional Description
3.6.5
Output Overvoltage Protection – VOUT Overvoltage
Output overvoltage protection prevents the device from operating when the high voltage at the output VOUT is
1
detected . If the output voltage is higher than the maximum value VOUT > Vout_max, the device enters error
auto-restart mode with 4 tries (restarts) – constant Err_restart_tries (see Table 3-14). After 4 failed attempts, the
device enters latch mode. The maximum output operating voltage value is programmable (parameter
Vout_max, Table 3-9). Output voltage is checked during the steady-state condition, after completing soft-start.
The restart timeout startup delay is predefined by the constant Err_restart_time (see Table 3-14).
3.6.6
Output Overpower Protection – POUT Overpower
2
Output overpower protection prevents damage to output components due to high output power . The maximum
allowed output power value (parameter Pout_max, see Table 3-9) is set by the constants Pout_corr_LC and
Pout_corr_HC (Pout_max_lc = Pout_corr_LC · Pout_max and Pout_max_hc = Pout_corr_HC · Pout_max) for
low current and high current range respectively (see Table 3-14). The parameter Ref_current_HCTH decides
between the low current and high current range (see Table 3-14). If the output power exceeds the maximum
allowed operational value, the device enters error auto-restart mode with 4 tries (restarts) – constant
Err_restart_tries (see Table 3-14). After 4 failed attempts, the device enters latch mode. Output overpower is
checked during the steady-state condition after completing soft-start. The restart timeout startup delay is
predefined by the constant Err_restart_time (see Table 3-14).
1
Output voltage is internally calculated, based on VIN and T ON / TPWM duty factor. Output voltage can be calculated
approximately as VOUT = D * VIN = (TON / TPWM) * VIN (all resistances and voltage drops of used components are neglected).
To minimize the impact of fluctuations on the exact TPWM period value, filtering is implemented using a first-order filter whose
coefficient is defined by the parameter Tpwm_filt_coef (see Table 3-14).
2
Output power is internally calculated, based on V IN, IOUT and TON / TPWM ratio. The actual TON / TPWM ratio (for true output
power) also depends on parasitic effects (e.g. MOSFET diode reverses recovery time, additional circuit like high side driver).
These parasitic effects are unknown to the chip calculation and need to be considered for choosing appropriate Pout_max
values. To minimize the impact of fluctuations on the calculated POUT value, filtering is implemented using a first-order filter
whose coefficient is defined by the parameter Pout_filt_coef (see Table 3-14) before comparing the output power against
Pout_max_lc or Pout_max_hc thresholds.

Functional Description
3.6.7
Overtemperature Protection
The ILD2111 supports overtemperature protection by means of internal and external temperature sensors. If
both internal temperature protection and external temperature protection requests for the current level change,
the lower current level will prevail. If the external sensor is not used (disabled by configuration), only the internal
temperature protection is processed.
3.6.7.1
Internal Temperature Sensor – Internal PWM Dimming 1
Internal temperature-based protection uses internal temperature sensor measurement for reduction of the
output current in the case that device temperature increases. For this purpose, two temperature thresholds - T1
and T2 - are defined (parameters ITP_temperature_hot – T1 and ITP_temperature_critical – T2 increasing in
value – see Table 3-10) as well as one up-slope (constant ITP_PWM_inc_step - Table 3-15 and parameter
ITP_PWM_inc_time_step - Table 3-10) and one down-slope (constant ITP_PWM_dec_step - Table 3-15 and
parameter ITP_PWM_dec_time_step - Table 3-10). Temperature thresholds can be set in steps of 1°C and
slopes as percentages of the average current per minute. The output current level is reduced by PWM
modulation with a programmable frequency rate – see Figure 28.
There are three temperature-related operating conditions:

Electrical Characteristics
If the voltage at pin CS VCS(t) is a linear rising signal starting below the OCP1 threshold, the delay between the
time when the voltage crosses the threshold and the CS comparator output rising edge t CSGD0OCP1 is a function
of the slope. Two representative slopes are specified to characterize this dependency.
