GENERAL DESCRIPTION
APPLICATIONS
• General Lighting and Displays
The XRP7613 is a non-synchronous step down
converter with integrated FET optimized to
drive high power LEDs at up to 1.2A of
continuous current. A wide 7.0V to 36V input
voltage range allows for single supply
operations from industry standard 12V, 18V or
24V power rails.
• Architectural and Accent Lighting
• Medical and Industrial Instrumentation
• Video Projectors
FEATURES
Based on a hysteretic PFM control scheme, the
XRP7613 can operate at switching frequency
of up to 1MHz and allows for small external
components selection while providing very fast
transient response and achieving excellent
efficiency. The output current is programmable
from 150mA to 1.2A through an external
sense resistor.
• 1.2A Continuous Output LED Current
− 150mA to 1.2A Programmable Range
• 7V to 36V Single Rail Input Voltage
• PWM & Analog Dimming Capability
− Up to 40kHz Frequency
• LED Current Foldback Thermal Control
Output current dimming is supported through
an analog signal or PWM logic signal at up to
40kHz. A dynamic LED current thermal control
further enhances the reliability of the end
application by linearly reducing the LED
current as temperature raises.
− Selectable Automatic Linear Dimming of
LED Current with temperature
• Shutdown Control
• Built-in Soft Start
• Open LED, LED Short Circuit and Over
Temperature Protections
An open LED, LED short circuit, over
temperature and under voltage lock out

ELECTRICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Specifications with standard type are for an Operating Ambient Temperature of TJ = TA = 25°C only; limits applying over the
full Operating Ambient Temperature range are denoted by a “•”. Minimum and Maximum limits are guaranteed through test,
design, or statistical correlation. Typical values represent the most likely parametric norm at TA = 25°C, and are provided
for reference purposes only. Unless otherwise indicated, VIN = 12V, L=47µH, 1 x LED and ILED=330mA and TA= 25°C.

The average current delivered to the LED, ie
the LED brightness, can also be controlled by
applying a variable DC voltage signal to the
EN/DIM pin.

where VIN is the input voltage
VLED is the total LED forward voltage
A DC voltage greater than 1.25V will drive
output LED current to 100% of the LED
current as set by the external sense resistor
RSET while a voltage lower than 200mV will
shutdown the XRP7613. When analog dimming
is required, the DC voltage range of EN/DIM
should be between 0.4V to 1.25V in order
modulating the average current delivered to
the LED accordingly.
ILED is the LED average current
RSET is current sense resistance
RL is inductor resistance
RDS(ON) is switch on resistance (0.5Ω typ.)
L is the inductor value
ΔIL is the inductor peak to peak current
VD is diode forward voltage at the LED average
current.

PROTECTIONS
By setting RT=10KΩ and using a 103KT1608
thermistor, the voltage on the TH pin will
reduce to 0.4V when the LED temperature
reaches 70°C. The LED average current will be
decreased linearly when VTH is between 0.4V
and 0.28V. If the LED temperature is over
90°C, the voltage on the TH pin will reduce to
0.28V and the LED will be turned off in order
to decrease the LED temperature. When the
voltage on the TH pin rises to 0.3V, the LED
will be turned on again.
LED Open Circuit Protection
Upon detection of an open-circuit on any LED
connected to the XRP7613, the device will shut
down.
LED Short Circuit Protection
Upon detecting a short-circuit on any LED
connected to the XRP7613, the device will
maintain the LED current as set by the
external sense resistor RSET.
If the LED thermal regulation function isn’t
required, the TH pin should be connected
directly to VREF pin to disable this function.
UVLO Protection
DIODE SELECTION
The XRP7613 has an Under Voltage Lock-Out
comparator to monitor the Input Voltage VIN.
The VIN UVLO threshold is set internally: when
VIN pin is greater than 6.0V the XRP7613 is
permitted to start up pending the removal of
all other faults.
Schottky diodes, with their low forward
voltage drop and fast reverse recovery, are
the
ideal
choices
for
any
XRP7613
applications. The forward voltage drop of a
Schottky diode represents the conduction
losses in the diode, while the diode
capacitance (CT or CD) represents the
switching losses. For diode selection, both
forward voltage drop and diode capacitance
need to be considered. Schottky diodes with
higher current ratings usually have lower
forward voltage drop and larger diode
capacitance, which can cause significant
switching losses. A Schottky diode with a 2A
current rating is adequate for most XRP7613
applications.
LED Thermal Protection
The XRP7613 includes a LED thermal
regulation circuit to prevent an over
temperature situation on the LED. When the
LED temperature rises above a predefined
threshold, the XRP7613 will reduce linearly the
LED current from its nominal set value.
INPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION
Ceramic capacitors with their low ESR values
and small size are ideal for the XRP7613
applications.
When
selecting
an
input
capacitor, a low ESR capacitor is required to
minimize the noise at the device input. It may
be necessary to add an extra small value
ceramic type capacitor in parallel with the
input capacitor to prevent any possible
ringing.
Fig. 21: VTH Voltage
The XRP7613 continuously monitors the LED
temperature by measuring the voltage on its
TH pin. The VTH voltage is created through a
resistive network of a negative temperature
coefficient (NTC) thermistor RTH and a fixed
resistor RT between VREF pin and ground.
INDUCTOR SELECTION
Recommended inductor
values
for
the
XRP7613 are in the range of 22µH to 68 µH.
The inductor selected should have low core
losses and low DCR.

LAYOUT CONSIDERATION
the
5.Effect from noise can be reduced by placing
the XRP7613 GND pin as close as possible to
the ground pin of the input bypass capacitor.
1.The input capacitor should be placed as
close as possible to the VIN pin in order to
reduce the input voltage ripple and noise.
6.The ISEN pin and VIN pin should be
connected to the sense resistor directly.
Traces should be routed away from any
potential sources.
For proper operations of XRP7613,
following guidelines should be followed.
2.The
inductor,
internal
power
switch,
Schottky diode, output capacitor and the LEDs
should be kept as close as possible.
7.The VREF pin and TH pin should be
connected to the LED thermal sense resistors
directly. Traces should be routed away from
any potential sources.
3.PCB traces with large current should be kept
short and wide.
