PAM2845
Description
The PAM2845 is a high-efficiency boost type LED driver. It is designed for large LCD panel that employs an array of LEDs as back light source. The PAM2845 employs a current-mode step-up converter that drives six parallel strings of LEDs connected in multiple series. This built-in stringcurrent-control circuit achieves ±1% typical current matching between strings, which ensures even brightness for all LEDs. Separate feedback loops limit the output voltage if one or more LEDs open or short. The PAM2845 has features cycle-by-cycle current limit to provide consistent operation and soft-start capability. A thermal-shutdown circuit provides another level of protection. The PAM2845 has a wide +4.8V to +28V inputvoltage range and provides adjustable full-scale LED current. The switching frequency of this device can be selected among 500kHz, 1MHz and 1.6MHz according to the application requirements.

40V High Power Boost Convertor with 6 Channel Constant Current Source Application Information
I nductor Selection The inductance, peak current rating, series resistance, and physical size should all be considered when selecting an inductor. These factors affect the conver ter's operating mode, efficiency, maximum output load capability, transient response time, output voltage ripple, and cost. The maximum output current, input voltage, output voltage, and switching frequency d e t e r m i n e t h e i n d u c t o r v a l u e . Ve r y h i g h inductance minimizes the current rip ple, and therefore reduces the peak current, which 2 decreases core losses in the inductor and I R losses in the entire power path. However, large inductor values also require more energy storage and more turns of wire, which increases physical 2 size and I R copper losses in the inductor. Low inductor values decrease the physical size, but increase the current ripple and peak current. Finding the best inductor involves the compromises among circuit efficiency, inductor size, and cost. When choosing an inductor, the first step is to determine the operating mode: continuous conduction mode (CCM) or discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). When CCM mode is chosen, the ripple current and the peak current of the inductor can be minimized. If a small-size inductor is required, DCM mode can be chosen. In DCM mode, the inductor value and size can be mini mized but the inductor ripple current and peak current are higher than those in CCM. Capacitor Selection An input capacitor is required to reduce the input ripple and noise for proper operation of the PAM2845. For good input decoupling, Low ESR (equivalent series resistance) capacitors should be used at the input. At least 2.2uF input capacitor is recommended for most applications. A minimum output capacitor value of 10uF is recommended under normal operating conditions, while a 22uF or higher capacitor may be required for higher power LED current. A reasonable value of the output capacitor depends on the LED current. The total output voltage ripple has two components: the capacitive ripple caused by the charging and discharging on the output capacitor, and the ohmic ripple due to the capacitor's equivalent series resistance. The ESR of the output capacitor is the important parameter to determine the output voltage ripple of the converter, so low ESR capacitors should be used at the output to reduce the output voltage ripple. The voltage rating and temperature characteristics of the output capacitor must also be considered. So a value of 10uF, voltage rating(50V) capacitor is chosen. Diode Selection PAM2845 is high switching frequency convertor, w h i c h d e m a n d s h i g h s p e e d r e c t i f i e r. I t ' s indispensable to use a Schottky diode rated at 2A, 60V with the PAM2845. Using a Schottky diode with a lower forward voltage drop is better to improve the power LED efficiency, and its voltage rating should be greater than the output voltage. Methods for Setting LED Current There are three methods for setting and adjusting the LED current outlined here. The methods are: 1) RSET only 2) PWM Input at PWMD 3) PWM Input at ENA
