Description
The L99LD21 is a flexible LED driver, which is
specifically designed for the control of two
independent high brightness LED strings for
automotive front lighting applications. It consists
of a high efficiency monolithic boost controller and
a dual buck converter.
• Buck section
– Integrated switching mosfets
– Lossless current sensing without need of
external components
– Very accurate LED current setting
programming inductor's peak current and
peak-to-peak current ripple
– Adjustable peak current by SPI
– Adjustable current ripple by SPI
– Integrated PWM generation unit with 10-bit
resolution and phase shift
July 2018
• Protection and diagnostic
– Battery under voltage
– Temperature warning (2 thresholds)
– Overtemperature shutdown
– LED voltage digital feedback through SPI
– Buck outputs short circuit and open load
protection
The boost controller integrates a high current gate
driver for an external n-channel mosfet. It delivers
a constant output voltage, up to 60 V, which
supplies the inputs of the two integrated or
external buck converters.
The boost controller of two devices can be
stacked, in order to operate in dual phase for high
power applications, with an interleaving pattern
for an improved input current ripple.
The buck converters integrate n-channel mosfet
which is driven by a bootstrap circuit.

L99LD21
Introduction
The L99LD21 is a monolithic driver IC, which controls the current of two independent high
power LED strings, whose forward current and voltage can reach up to 1.5 A (average) and
up to 50V respectively.
This device has been designed with dedicated functions, in order to fulfill the stringent
requirements of automotive front lighting applications.
The device offers a high level of flexibility, without any change of the external components,
thanks to its programmability through the ST SPI interface. This feature support generic
platform approaches, which require a software configurability of several parameters. This
robust interface, offers a detailed diagnostic of the device itself, as well as of the controlled
LED strings.
As the device potentially controls safety critical functions such as low beams and turn
indicators, built-in features are integrated in order to support a high level of functional safety.
The L99LD21 features a timeout watchdog, a monitoring of the watchdog counter, a limp
home function and a direct input. The ST SPI protocol takes into account FMEA case.
The device consists of a boost controller, which controls the PWM of an external n-channel
mosfet and provides a stabilized voltage (VBOOST). The input of the boost stage must be
connected to the battery voltage through a reverse polarity protection.
The boost controllers of two L99LD21 can be combined to form a dual-phase, interleaved
boost controller. Special care has been taken for the current balancing between the different
phases and for the switching activity of the boost mosfets with 180° phase shift.
The output of the boost controller supplies the input of the two independent integrated buck
converters, or any other external buck converters, whose input voltage is compatible with
VBOOST. The integrated buck converters are based on constant off-time architecture (for a
given LED output voltage) and control the peak current and the peak-to-peak current ripple
of their respective inductors.
Operating in continuous conduction mode, the average of each LED string’s current, which
is connected to the output of each buck converter, is tightly controlled.
This architecture, which consists of cascaded boost and buck stages (see Figure 2), allows
the control of a wide range of LED strings, whose forward voltage is independent from the
battery voltage.
With the aim of ensuring a wide operating inductor current range, the Buck mosfets can be
set in low or high RDS_ON modes, so that two different inductor peak current (ILx_PEAK)
ranges [0.179 A ÷ 0.849 A] or [0.362 A ÷ 1.695 A] can be selected.
The average LED current is controlled by setting the inductor's peak current and peak-topeak current ripple. Sensing of the peak current is integrated, not requiring any external
shunt resistance, which saves cost and reduces the power dissipation.
Buck n-channel mosfet RDS_ON value depends on the operative conditions as junction
temperature, Input voltage and LED string current. For example, at VBuckin = 45 V,
Iled = 700 mA, Tj = 25 °C the maximum RDS_ON is 400 mΩ (low RDS_ON mode).
