LX1991

LX1991 TM ® Six Output Programmable LED Current Sink P RODUCTION D ATA S HEET DESCRIPTION KEY FEATURES W WW . Microsemi . C OM LED Display Driver: This six channel current sink driver is ideal for controlling brightness and hue of high quality dimmable LED displays. High accuracy, dual mode dimming, and controlled current switching time provides consistent color hue, at brightness ratios of up to 1000:1, and keeps electro magnetic emissions in check. Its wide compliance voltage range combined with 43 volt breakdown capability make the LX1991 ideal for automotive in-dash displays. Precision current control: Precision current mirror circuitry sets all channels to the same current with a single programming input. Sinking current value can be programmed up to 30 mA per channel with a single resistor or potentiometer from ISET+ to ISET-. Channel to channel matching is typically within ±1 percent of channel mean at the rated output current. Dual Mode Dimming: Display dimming can be achieved by controlling either current amplitude or duty cycle, and both methods can be employed at the same time. 1000:1 Dimming Range: The DIG_DIM input accepts a TTL or CMOS logic signal that controls duty cycle of the output currents. Independent Channels: The six channels feature independent regulation with respect to output voltage, so one does not affect the others. Any one or more outputs can be left unloaded without affecting current regulation of the other channels. Multiple channels can also be connected together to sink more current in a single load. EMI Control: Rise and fall time of sink currents are precisely controlled by placing a capacitor on the SLOPE_C pin. Special control circuitry maintains symmetrical rise and fall times, preserving the LX1991’s ability to provide accurate output current response to very narrow input pulses on the DIG_DIM pin. Power Handling: The LX1991 is supplied in a 4x4 MLPQ package capable of 1.5 watts dissipation. Logic Enable: A separate input puts the LX1991 to sleep at less than 1 uA IDD.

The LX1991 features resistor settable output current. Connecting a resistor between ISET+ and ISET- pins generates a current that is mirrored into each of the outputs with a gain ratio of about 24. This ratio remains linear for output currents from 3 to 30mA, at output current less than 3mA the ratio increases somewhat. Output current can be varied in an analog fashion by varying RSET resistor, typically this resistor shall be chosen in the range of 1K to 40K. Duty cycle dimming with a fixed current amplitude is accomplished by driving the DIG_DIM input. The switching frequency can exceed 100 KHz, making it practical to use a PWM output channel from popular micro controllers. The upper limit on frequency correlates to the minimum DIG_DIM sink pulse width which is typically about 5µS. To use the LX1991 at the maximum usable frequency, or minimum pulse width the CSLOPE pin must be open. The CSLOPE pin allows precise control of the sink current rise and fall time. As the value of the CSLOPE capacitor is increased the slope of the rise and fall time will change correspondingly along with some delay to output. Special control circuitry maintains symmetrical rise and fall times, preserving the LX1991’s ability to provide accurate output current response to very narrow input pulses on the DIG_DIM pin. The ENABLE input is TTL compatible with a turn on threshold of about 1.6V with about 150mV of hysteresis. Below 0.8V the chip is disabled and the sink outputs are off. However ENABLE must be driven below 0.4 volts to insure the minimum sleep current from VDD and output off current. All inputs and outputs are ESD and short circuit protected making the LX1991 an exceptionally robust component. The device also includes thermal shutdown however it is not recommended to short the ISET+ and ISET- inputs together while shorting the outputs to 40V as the power dissipation under these conditions is the greatest. APPLICATION NOTES POWER CONSIDERATIONS Each output has an independent current sink, however each must be held above about 600-800mV (typically) to perform properly and maintain the specified current regulation accuracy. The device is designed however to allow one or more of the outputs to be unused (open) without affecting the other channels Or conversely if more than 30mA is needed the outputs can be combined for higher total currents. Package power dissipation can be calculated from the following equation: PD = n×I OUT × VLOAD -VLED n IOUT VLOAD VLED PD = = = = = W WW . Microsemi . C OM ( )( ) Number of outputs used Current from each output Output Supply Voltage Minimum LED forward voltage Power Dissipated in mW Care should be exercised not to exceed the power dissipation of the package or the maximum junction temperature of the die. Proper mounting of the package with thermal vias (see PCB Land Guidelines and Thermal Pad Design section) enhances power dissipation capability. As an example to drive 24 white LED’s, 4 per channel from a 18V VLED supply @ 25mA per LED string, we will assume the minimum LED forward voltage to be 3.5V with an maximum operating ambient of 50°C. PD = (6×25mA)×(18V-(4×3.5V)) = 15×4V = 0.6W This represents a 21.6°C temperature rise (36°C/W *0.6W) for a die temperature of about 72°C, ignoring device drain current power dissipation that only represents about a 3°C rise worst case. This is well under the die junction temperature maximum rating of 150°C, and within the 85°C electrical specifications. DIMMING Dimming can be accomplished both with current amplitude control (changing the RSET resistor value) with a PWM signal (toggling the DIG_DIM input) or both. Current between the ISET+ and ISET- pins may be varied for current amplitude dimming. If a mechanical input is needed, a rheostat in series with a resistor connected from ISET+ to ISET- can be used.: I OUT =Current Ratio×ISET APPLICATIONS APPLICATIONS Copyright © 2001 Rev. 1.0, 5/18/2005 Microsemi Integrated Products 11861 Western Avenue, Garden Grove, CA. 92841, 714-898-8121, Fax: 714-893-2570 Page 5 LX1991 TM ® Six Output Programmable LED Current Sink P RODUCTION D ATA S HEET APPLICATION NOTE – CONTINUED The range of the RSET resistor can vary between 1K and 40K Ohms. The resistor in series with the rheostat will set the maximum current and should be a least 1KΩ in value. If a fixed sink current is desired its easy to find the RSET resistor value. As an example, suppose the desired output current is 25mA per sink channel. The RSET resistor can be calculated as follows: W WW . Microsemi . C OM T ypical CSLOPE vs Slope Times 25 Sink Rise/Fall Time (uS) R SET(KΩ) = Current ratio Output current(mA) × VR SET 20 15 10 5 0 0 2 4 6 8 10 R SET(KΩ) = 24.5 25 × 1.26 = 1.23KΩ Once the maximum sink current is set the rheostat will increase the RSET value thus dimming the LED by reducing the sinking current. Wide range dimming can be accomplished by using the DIG_DIM input pin to pulse the output sink current. The DIG_DIM pin may be driven with a TTL compatible logic PWM signal to dim the LED’s. The recommended PWM frequency for dimming is between 100 Hz and 100 KHz. Below 100 Hz flicker may be observed. Above 100 KHz duty cycle accuracy and minimum pulse width is reduced due to delay times and the current slew rate. To obtain the maximum dim range and still make use of the slope control function ( see CSLOPE pin below) it is advisable to use a lower frequency on the DIG_DIM input. If PWM dimming is used, use of separate power and ground lines directly from the power source point will help to prevent noise generated from the LED current transients from entering video or audio subsystems on the same supply rails. Additional power supply filtering may be needed in PWM dimming applications. Care should be exercised in the PCB layout to prevent coupling from the SINK outputs to the DIG_DIM pin. CSLOPE PIN The CSLOPE pin is available to control the rise and fall times of the SINK outputs during pulse dimming. With the CSLOPE pin open a minimum rise and fall time of about 120 to 200nS will be present on the output waveforms along with a delay time (DIG_DIM to SINKx) of about 200nS. As the CSLOPE capacitor is increases in value so will the corresponding rise and fall times and delay to output. The calculation for the CSLOPE value is approximately 450µA * TR or TF in microseconds, C in picofarads. So for a 5uS rise and fall time 0.00045 * 5 = 2250pF or about a typical .0022uF capacitor value. For typical slope rise and fall times see the follow chart CSLOPE Capacitor (nF) DRAIN CURRENT The chart below illustrates the correlation between the IC’s drain current and the total sink output current. The drain current will also increase slightly if one or more the SINKx pins are left floating or when the SINK outputs are near dropout, however in both of these circumstances the increased drain current will be small and controlled and is a feature of the design.

Vias should be about 0.3mm in diameter, with the via plated to about 1.0 ounce copper. Vias should be plugged to prevent voids being formed due to capillary action. This can be avoided by tenting the via during the solder mask process. In addition, to reduce solder paste volume on the thermal land, it is recommended that an array of small apertures in the solder mask be used instead of one large aperture, with the goal of 50 – 80% solder paste coverage.
