NCV7680

NCV7680 Linear Current Regulator and Controller for Automotive LED Rear Combination Lamps The NCV7680 consists of eight linear programmable constant current sources. The part is designed for use in the regulation and control of LED based Rear Combination Lamps for automotive applications. System design with the NCV7680 allows for two brightness levels, one for stop and one for tail illumination, or optional PWM control can also be implemented. Discrete LED brightness levels are easily programmed (stop current value, tail duty cycle value) optional external ballast FET allows for power distribution on designs requiring high currents. Set back power limit reduces the drive current during overvoltage conditions. This is most useful for low current applications when no external FET is used.

The part is designed for use in the regulation and control of LED based Rear Combination Lamps for automotive applications. System design with the NCV7680 allows for two brightness levels; one for stop, and one for tail illumination. Brightness levels are easily programmed (stop current absolute value, tail current duty cycle value) with two external resistors. The use of an external FET allows for power distribution on designs requiring high currents. Additionally, set back power limit reduces the drive current during overvoltage conditions. Set back power limit is most useful for low current applications when no external FET is used. The NCV7680 offers all of the built in protection normal to regulator systems, such as current limit, thermal limit, and provides an open load diagnostic that coincides with the STOP input signal. Open String Reporting (DIAG) Setback Current Limit is employed during high voltage. During a Setback Current Limit event, the drive current is reduced resulting in lower power dissipation on the IC. This occurs during high battery voltage (VP > 16 V). In this way the NCV7680 can operate in extreme conditions and still provide a controlled level of light output The Overvoltage condition is reported on the DIAG Pin. Reference Figures 19 and 20 for Power Limiting Behavior.

Ballast FET Power IC POWER DISSIPATION Open string detection is reported on the DIAG pin as a high with STOP Input high, or a combination of STOP Input high and TAIL Input high. Reference Table 1 on page 5 for more details. Open circuit is sensed on each of the 8 outputs. The typical threshold voltage for detection is 0.4 V. Care must be taken not to breach this voltage level under normal operation , or a false open will be reported. Make sure worst case system design focuses on the voltage level on top of the LED string (top anode) (VSTRING) and includes the worst case LED voltage drop while considering temperature effects. Input Voltage and Set Back Current Low Drop−out Area Only Voltage Effects Constant Current Area Overvoltage Set Back Area Thermal Shutdown 180°C (typ) Voltage Figure 20. IC Power Quiescent Current Power Automotive battery systems have wide variations in line supply voltage. Low dropout is a key attribute for providing consistent LED light output at low line voltage. Unlike adjustable regulator based constant current source schemes where the set point resistor resides in the load path, the NCV7680’s set point resistor lies outside the LED load path, and aids in the low dropout capability. Further reduction in power to the NCV7680 can be achieved by moving the VP pin connection to the drain of the external FET. The contribution of power at the NCV7680 caused by the quiescent current into VP is lowered due to the lower operating voltage of VP with the new connection. Note also the addition of an external resistor Rsd in Figure 21. This will be required to insure startup of the system. A value for Rsd should be chosen low enough to provide current into VP and the current in the ILEDs & feedback string under all required input voltage input conditions. http://onsemi.com 12 NCV7680 Rsd Vbat MRA4003T3G NTD2955 ILEDs & feedback C3 100 nF OUT1 VP Ballast Drive FB STOP DIAG RSTOP RTAIL C1 0.1 mF R3 1K C2 0.22 mF NCV7680 OUT2 OUT3 OUT4 GND OUT5 OUT6 OUT7 OUT8 Figure 21. Alternative VP Connection with Rsd Programmability Strings of LEDs are a common configuration for RCL applications. The NCV7680 provides eight matched outputs allowing individual string drive with current set by a single resistor. Individual string drive is a benefit to ensure equal current distribution amongst all of the strings. Output currents are mirrored and matched within ±5% at hot temperature. A high STOP condition sets the output current using equation 1 below. A low STOP condition, modulates the output currents at a duty cycle (DC) programmed using equation 2 below. Note, current limiting on RSTOP limits the current which can be referenced from the RSTOP Pin. Exceeding the RSTOP Current Limit will reduce the output current and the DIAG Pin will go high (reference Figure 18). This helps limit output current (brightness and power) for this type of fault. The average ISTOP Duty Cycle current provides the dimmed tail illumination function and assures a fixed brightness level for tail. The PWM generator’s fixed frequency (1 kHz typ.) oscillator allows flicker−free illumination. PWM control is the preferred method for dimming LEDs. The diagnostic function allows the detection of an open in any one of the output circuits. The active−low diagnostic output (DIAG) is coincident with the STOP input. DIAG remains high (pulled up) if an open load is detected in any LED string when STOP is high. Output Current Programming and RTAIL values. RSTOP should always be chosen first as the stop current is only dependent on this value. Alternatively, the equations below can be used to calculate a typical value and used for worst case analysis. Set the Stop Current using RSTOP OUTX + 100 R STOP_Bias_Voltage R STOP (eq. 1) RSTOP Bias Voltage = 1.08 V (typ) Set the Duty Cycle (DC) using RTAIL R TAIL + 4 R STOP(DC ) 0.1) (eq. 2) DC = duty cycle expressed in fractional form. (e.g. 0.50 is equivalent to 50% duty cycle) (ground RTAIL when using external modulation) Reference Figure 10 to choose programming resistor (RSTOP) value for stop current. Reference Figure 12 (Duty Cycle vs. RTAIL) to choose a typical value programming resistor for output duty cycle (with a typical RSTOP value of 3.09 kW). Note the duty cycle is dependent on both RSTOP Output Current is directly tested per the electrical parameter table to be ±10% (with RSTOP = 3.09 kW) or 31.5 mA (min), 35 mA (typ), 38.5 mA (max) at room and hot temperature. Duty Cycle will vary according to the changes in RTAIL Voltage and RTAIL Bias Current (generated form the current through RSTOP). Voltage errors encompass generator errors (0.4 V to 4.4 V) and comparator errors and are included in testing as the Duty Cycle. Typical duty cycle measurements are 5% with RTAIL = 0.59 V and 70% with RTAIL = 3.29 V. RTAIL Bias Current errors are measured as RTAIL Bias Current and vary as 300 mA (min), 350 mA (typ), and 450 mA (max) with RSTOP = 3.09 kW. The error duality and choice of duty cycle levels make it difficult to specify duty cycle minimum and maximum limits, but worst case conditions can be calculated when considering the variation in the voltage threshold and current source. Duty Cycle variation must include the direct http://onsemi.com 13 NCV7680 duty cycle as specified in the electrical parameter table plus an additional error due to the Irstop current which generates this voltage in the system. Vreg Calculate system design VSTRING. Let VLED be the voltage drop across your LEDs (3 included in Figure 4). 9.5 V Choose a value for OUTx, 1 V V STRING + V OUTx ) V LED (eq. 5) Oscillator and PWM Using Equation 3 Irstop − V STRING + 1 V ) 9.5 V + 10.5 V RTAIL RTAIL Figure 22. Duty Cycle Generator Circuitry Alternative Setup of Duty Cycle Alternatively, the duty cycle can be controlled by providing a voltage to the RTAIL pin as per Figure 13 (Duty Cycle vs. V(RTAIL). Note the pull-up current source (Irstop) is still present on the RTAIL pin due to current setting resistor connected to RSTOP. For proper operation the system designer needs to insure there is sufficient loading on the RTAIL pin such that Irstop does not pull the referenced voltage higher than its regulated state. VSTRING should be set to a level to allow proper operation of the IC without detecting an open circuit (0.5 V max on OUTx) and to keep power to the IC at reduced levels below the 150°C max die temperature thermal limit (die temperature will depend on printed circuit board composition, PCB size, thermal via number and placement, module component placement, and air flow). Example: VSTRING is set using resistors R6 and R7 (reference Figure 4). V STRING + V FB R6 R7 )1 (eq. 3) Setting VSTRING VFB = Ballast Drive Reference Voltage This simplifies to an equation for R6. R6 + R7 V STRING * V FB V FB (eq. 4) + 4.4V 0.4V Using Equation 4 Choose a value for R7. R7 = 1k R6 + 1k 10.5 V * 1.08 V 1.08 V + 8.72k The closest standard resistor value is 8.87k. Reduced Channel Operation The previously shown applications (Figures 4 and 5) show system operation using all 8 available channels of the NCV7680. When less than 8 channels are used, the unused OUTx pins can be grounded eliminating the unused OUTx drive current. This is accomplished by voltage threshold detection on OUTx (100 mV typ). A voltage less than 100 mV on OUTx turns the driver off, reducing quiescent current to the IC. This also helps reduce system power by eliminating the need for an external pullup resistor (from OUTx to VP) while maintaining open circuit detection. External pullup resistors may be used as an alternative. Adding LED’s to the String The NCV7680 can function as a standalone device or in conjunction with additional support circuitry for more complex systems. Figure 23 shows the NCV7680 operating with a boost controller. This setup allows additional LEDs in a string to be increased. Eight are shown in the diagram. Consideration of the 45 V maximum limit on the OUTx Pin is the limitation of this configuration. The DC on voltage level on OUTx must also be considered for thermal reasons. Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) One of the key contributors to electromagnetic interference is the rise and fall times of the electrical signals. This is a concern with both the initial startup of a device, and the repeated turn on/off cycles of a device. The NCV7680 employs current slew rate control. Each output is rated at 6.0 mA/ms (typ). Slew rate control reduces overshoot and allows for a predictable electrical signal. Slew rate control is used in the stop mode for soft−start and in the tail mode for low EMI operation. http://onsemi.com 14 NCV7680 TAIL Input MRA4003T3G STOP Input MRA4003T3G C3 1 mF + − NCV3163 Boost Controller + − R1 10k NCV7680 OUT2 OUT1 VP R8, 10k FB R4, 3.09k C4 10nF R5, 2.21k DIAG RSTOP RTAIL epad OUT3 GND OUT6 OUT7 OUT8 Ballast Drive OUT4 STOP/PWM OUT5 Figure 23.

This allows the user to maintain illumination of all the remaining LEDs when one fails due to an open circuit (the most common form of LED failure). Comparatively, the standard setup shown in Figure 4 will result in a full string turning off when one LED is open. Be aware as LEDs fail as open circuits in the cross-coupled arrangement will cause the row of LEDs to run at a higher current level affected by the smaller number of LEDs in that row.

PWM Operation (suggested LCD backlighting applications) External PWM Operation Using the NCV7680 in a PWM setup requires RTAIL to be grounded. Grounding RTAIL disables the internal PWM circuitry. With RTAIL grounded, the STOP input pin can then be modulated externally with a microprocessor using the STOP logic input level thresholds. Tail Frequency Stabilization Time requires 2 pulses from the internal oscillator. This is typically 2 ms (from the 1 kHz oscillator. Circuit limitations dictate the maximum output current (IOUTX) to be 60 mA when operated at VP = 5 V. Part capability increases up to the part maximum capability as VP is increased. http://onsemi.com 18 NCV7680 Latch−Off on Open String Detection Some LED lighting systems require the complete lighting system to shut down when the output intensity has diminished. This eliminates a slow degradation of output illumination. Figure 28 provides one solution for this requirement. The open circuit fault information provided on TAIL Input STOP Input MRA4003T3G NTD2955 MRA4003T3G C1 0.1uF R3 C2 1k 0.22uF C3 100nF the DIAG pin coupled with external discrete transistors provides the feedback needed to the FB pin to turn off the ballast transistor drive removing the LED anode string from any power source. This condition is held until the input signal is toggled.
