Safety Controller for
Infra-Red LED Illumination
to Complement the Image
Sensor for Automotive
Applications
NCV7694
The NCV7694 is a device which can drive a string of infra−red
LEDs using an external mosfet. The IR LEDs are used to illuminate
the surroundings of the image sensor. Since these LEDs can damage
the end users’ eyes, the power feed to the LEDs needs to be turned off
during a fault condition.
The NCV7694 driver features prevents the IR LEDs from being on
too long due to an inappropriate exposure time or being turned on too
frequently using external resistors. The value of the RETL resistor
defines the maximum TON time of the emitted light intensity and the
value of the RFRL resistor defines the maximum frequency of the
FLASH signal from the image sensor.
A LED driver with hardware interlocks helps protect the users’ eyes
in cases where the control signal has failed or a fault in the LED power
path has occurred.
LED brightness level is easily programmed using an external
resistor in series with the mosfet transistor.
The device can also detect Open Load, Short Circuit to GND and
VS. Faults are reported to the DIAG pin, which can directly disable the
DC/DC converter to prevent possible damage.
The device is available in 10 pin DFN package.

Safety Feature Behavior
The period of the internals counters can be adjusted by
external resistors.
Total tolerance of the maximum TON or maximum Frame
Rate limits will be affected by internal accuracy and
accuracy of the external resistor by following equation:
Using 1% external resistor approximately 13% tolerance
can be achieved.
External Resistor Approach
The resistor (RETL, RFRL) creates bias voltage on the
pins. Internal oscillator speed is derived from value of the
resistors. While FLASH signal is high, internal ETL counter
is counting and when the threshold is exceeded, the output
is disabled. When FLASH pin is low, the Frame Rate timer
is starting to count. The next rising edge of the FLASH
signal is propagated to the output only if FRL timer expires.

PINS DESCRIPTION
FLASH
Open Load condition, if the when FB voltage will be below
threshold for longer than blanking time. It is not allowed to
put external voltage higher than 0.19 V on the FB pin when
the device is not active. The voltage on the FB pin has to be
below 0.19 V during VS supply ramp up while FLASH
PWM signal is already present.
Flash Input pin is compatible with 1.8 V / 2.8 V logic of
the ON Semiconductor image sensors. Internal pull down
resistor is implemented to prevent unwanted switch on.
Based on the RETL and RFRL resistors, the maximum TON
FLASH time which can be propagated to the output is 6 ms
and minimum TOFF time, which will can be set, is typically
8 ms. The NCV7694 can be used as companion device for
60 Hz camera sensors in full FLASH TON range or 120 Hz
with limited TON range.
GATE
The NCV7694 can drive MOSFET transistors with
minimum GATE voltage of 4.5 V. The preferred mosfet
transistor is NVTFS5C478NL.
DIAG
RETL and RFRL
Open Drain DIAG pin can be connected with pull up
resistor to MCU which will be informed about a fault in case
of Open Load, Short to VSTRING or Short to Ground of the
LEDs. Diagnostic pin can be connected to the Enable pin of
the DC/DC converter. The output VSTRING voltage will be
disconnected and user and devices are protected against
damages. The NCV7694 driver can also inform the system
while FLASH pulse is too long or is send too frequent. The
Open Load and Short circuit detections of the RETL, RFRL
timing resistors are reported on the DIAG pin as well as the
Thermal Shutdown Flag and Under Voltage status on the VS
supply.
To reduce thermal retina hazard and thermal injury risk of
the cornea, the safety turn−off function is implemented.
External RETL and RFRL resistor defines maximum
exposure time and maximum frame rate. The maximum
times are calculated using resistor values of the RETL and
RFRL resistors divided by KFRL or KETL coefficients. If the
FLASH pulse is permanently HIGH, the output pulse is
being activated only after FRL timer expire and during the
allowed ETL time period.
Short and Open on the RETL and RFRL
To be able detect the defect on the external resistors the
Open Load and Short to Ground detections are implemented
in the NCV7694. If the resistor value will be below 750 W,
short to ground will be detected. If the resistor value
becomes higher than 17.5 kW, Open Load is detected.
As soon as a fault condition is detected, then after a short
filter time the driver is switched off and fault on the DIAG
pin is reported
DET
Detection pin is sensing the voltage at the cathode of the
LEDs. The voltage on DET pin during the FLASH−ON
period should be in range from VSGth (0.35 V) to VSVth
(VSTRING – 1.22 V). Below 0.35 V the device will detect
Short to ground and above VSTRING minus 1.22 V the device
will detect Short LEDs to VSTRING.
In case of DET pin is disconnected, device will go into
fault because internal pull−up to VSTRING is implemented.
Short to ground can be detected only when output is not
activated.
VSTRING
High voltage input pin sense the voltage on the top of the
LEDs and enable the Open Load and Short diagnostic as
soon as the voltage exceed the threshold VSTRth >2.2 V. If
DC/DC converter is not used, the VSTRING voltage has to
be connected to the VS pin. If the LED diagnostic is not
required, then the VSTRING pin has to be grounded.
FB
A feedback loop regulates the current through the external
LEDs. The voltage across the external sense resistor is
regulated to the 300 mV typ. Using FB pin can be detected

NCV7694
DETAILED OPERATING DESCRIPTION
Under Voltage Lockout
short filter time the driver is switched off and fault on the
DIAG pin is reported.
Under voltage Lockout feature is used to protect against
an abnormal status during startup. When the initial soft start
voltage is greater than 4.5 V (typ) the device starts to be
active. Below this threshold the GATE output pin is pulled
low to ground to prevent opening external N−MOS
transistor and DIAG pin is pulled low to report.
Exceeding the Flash Pulse
If the duration of the FLASH pulse exceeds the
pre−defined timing or the FLASH pulse repetition is too
frequent, the GATE of the transistor is switched off. The
limitation of the FLASH pulses is also reported on the DIAG
pin. The first FLASH pulse after power−on−reset should be
delayed longer than FRL period, otherwise the FLASH
pulse will be limited and DIAG pin will report a fault until
FRL counter expires.
Thermal Shutdown
The thermal shutdown circuit checks the internal junction
temperature of the device. When the internal temperature
rises above the Thermal shutdown threshold, then after a

approximately 2 ms to re−activate the DC/DC VSTRING
voltage of the converter. With typical FRL setting, the driver
will be ready to perform the diagnostic on the next FLASH
pulse.
If the ENable of the DC/DC converter is not driven by
NCV7694, the Open Load is reported to the DIAG pin.
Diagnostic is not active when VSTRING < VSTRth. The first
FLASH pulse will not be detected when driver is going to be
recovered from a Short to GND fault because the DC/DC
converter in not fully active.
When Open Load fault is introduced during
FLASH = High and VSTRING > VSTRth, the 22 ms blanking
time eliminate the false faults. When blanking time expires,
the NCV7694 immediately report a fault on the DIAG pin.
The output GATE pin remains active. The DIAG pin is
recovered with the falling edge on the FLASH pin or after
ETL counter is expired.
If EN pin of the DC/DC converter is connected to the
DIAG output, the Open Load causes switching OFF the
VSTRING voltage. The DIAG pin is recovered as soon as
FLASH pin goes low or ELT counter expired. It will take

Figure 9. Short to VSTRING Detection Circuit
When Short Cathode of the LEDs to VSTRING voltage is
introduced during the FLASH = High and
VSTRING > VSTRth, the 10 ms blanking time eliminate the
false faults. When the blanking time expires, the NCV7694
immediately switch OFF the GATE output to protect the
external transistor against high power dissipation. The
DIAG pin will report a fault which will lead to switching
OFF the DC/DC VSTRING voltage if the DIAG pin is
connected to the Enable of the DC/DC converter. The fault
is latched during the FLASH signal is high or until ETL
counter expires. The device will be recovered only with next
falling edge on the FLASH or when the ETL counter is
expired.
The diagnostic is not active when VSTRING < VSTRth or
also during FLASH = Low.
