High intensity LED driver using the L5970D/L5973D

IntroductionHigh brightness LEDs are becoming a prominent source of light and often have better efficiency and reliability than conventional light sources. While LEDs can operate from an energy source as simple as a battery and resistor, most applications require an efficient energy source not only for the reduction of losses, but also to maintain the brightness of the LED itself. For applications that are powered from low voltage AC sources typically used in landscape lighting or low voltage DC sources that may be used in automotive applications or to meet safety requirements, high efficiency DC-DC converters configured for constant output current provide a high efficiency driver that can operate over a relatively wide range of input voltages to drive series strings of one to several LEDs

This application note describes a DC-DC converter circuit that can easily be configured to drive LEDs at several different output currents and can be configured for either AC or DC input. The circuit uses the L5973D monolithic step down converter configured to drive a series string of LEDs in a constant current mode.

L5970D is a step down monolithic power switching regulator capable of delivering 1A while the L5973D is able to deliver 2A at output voltages from 1.25V to 35V. Both devices use internal P-Channel D-MOS transistors (with typical RDS(on) of 250mΩ) as the switching element to minimize the size of external components. An internal oscillator fixes the switching frequency at 250kHz.

The brightness of the LED (Light Emitting Diode), or light intensity as measured in Lumens, is proportional to the forward current flowing through the LED. Since the forward voltage drop of the LED can vary from device to device it is important to drive the LEDs with a constant current driver to be able to get good matching of the light output, especially when they are located side by side where variations in light intensity are quickly noticed. A typical way to drive LEDs in the constant current mode is to use a DC-DC converter configured to give a constant current output. The circuit shown in Figure 7. uses the L5973D in a constant current configuration to drive LEDs

1 DESCRIPTION OF BOARD

The evaluation board shown in Figure 1. was designed so that it can be configured to accept several different input voltages that are common for automotive and lighting applications. The most common input voltages are 12Vac, 12Vdc (for automotive) and 24Vdc. The board also allows the user to select the output current using the jumpers J2 and J4 on the board without having to change any components on the evaluation board. The standard configuration of the board includes a full wave bridge rectifier that is required for an AC input

AN2259 2 INPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION

7/38

2 INPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION

For DC input, the input capacitor, C1, is selected based on its ripple current rating for the capacitor. The ripple current is calculated based on its duty cycle as outlined below.

Where D = duty cycle

Vo = output voltage

Vin = input voltage

The RMS current through the capacitor therefore is:

µ= efficiency

For an AC input voltage, the input capacitor is selected primarily to have enough capacity to supply the LED between the peaks of the AC input. The capacitor must be selected so that the minimum voltage at the input to the L5973D is maintained during each half cycle of the AC input.

If the application is driving only one LED, the Vmin is determined by the minimum operating voltage specification for the L5973D (4.4V). When driving more than one LED in series, the minimum input voltage is determined by the output voltage and the minimum differential input to output voltage for the regulator (the drop out voltage). In this case Vmin = (x * Vf) + (Iout * Rsense) + VDO

Where: x = number of LED in series

Vf = forward voltage of one LED

Io = LED drive current

VDO = Drop out voltage

The capacitor can then be selected using the equation:

The ripple current rating will have two parts where in the low frequency range, the capacitor will be charged by 120Hz while at the high frequency range the capacitor is discharged by 250kHz. For the low frequency part, it is approximately the same as the input RMS current and the power factor is approximately 0.7 for a full wave rectifier.

For the high frequency part (ignoring output current ripple), we have:

where Dav is the average duty cycle.

We will use the average duty cycle assuming that the voltage on the capacitor changes from the peak to the minimum voltage linearly.

The equivalent series resistance of an aluminum capacitor has different frequency characteristics. There is a coefficient associated with different frequencies. Typically, for 120Hz, Kfl=1; for frequency greater than 10 kHz, Kfh=1.5.

Therefore, the ripple current rating of the capacitor has to be greater than Icap

AN2259 3 CURRENT FEEDBACK LOOP

9/38

3 CURRENT FEEDBACK LOOP

To drive LEDs in a constant current mode, the feedback for the regulator is taken by sensing the voltage drop across the current sense resistor, Rs, as shown in Figure 2. The voltage divider between the sense resistor and the feedback pin (R1 and R2) scales the voltage at the feedback pin so that it equals the internal reference voltage at the desired current level.

Figure 2. Current feedback

In order to get Io = 350 mA, the values of R1, R2 and Rs are selected based on the following values.

Vref = 3.3V ; Vfb = 1.235V ; Ifb_bias = 2.5 10-6 A ; Rs=0.68Ω

Vsense=Rs.Io

Using the superposition method:

Since Vref and Vfb come from same band gap, they are directly correlated. K=Vref/Vfb=2.672. Therefore, the equation can be simplified to:

For 350mA output the selected values are:

R1 = 2.74kΩ,

R2 =1.30kΩ and

Rs = 0.68Ω.

10/38

For an output current of 700mA the value of Rs would be 0.34Ω. If R1 and R2 are small enough, the effect of the bias current can be ignored.

On the evaluation board, the value of Rs is selected by jumpers J2 and J4. When both J2 and J4 are open, the output current is set to 350mA. Inserting each jumper connects a 0.68Ω resistor in parallel with the 0.68Ω Rs. With J2 shorted, the output current will be set to 700mA and the output current becomes 1A with both J2 and J4 shorted.

AN2259 4 INDUCTOR SELECTION

11/38

4 INDUCTOR SELECTION

The output inductor is selected to limit the ripple current in the LEDs.

For example, for a given DC input voltage and an output current of 350mA, the peak current can be fixed to 500mA. This implies a ∆Imax = 300mA.

For an output current of 700mA, the peak current can be fixed to1000mA. This implies a ∆Imax= 600mA

The layout for the evaluation board is shown below in Figure 5. and Figure 6. The area within the circle in the center of the board illustrates the required area for the final application. The components outside of the circle are connectors for convenience and the auxiliary devices that allow the current to be selected on this board without changing the resistor values. Obviously the final application would use a single resistor for RS that is optimized for the application.

6 REFERENCE DESIGN VERSIONS

The evaluation board is designed to display the full functionality of L5973D as a LED driver to drive one to three 1W, 3W as well as 5W LEDs at 12Vac input. The components selected for the demo board are optimized for 5W LED driver application. Based on this circuit, there are nine different configurations with different input voltages and output power levels that could be derived by making minor components changes to the evaluation board. Table 1. shows the component changes needed in order to obtain each configuration. The final schematics and bill of materials for each configuration are shown in the subsequent pages. The 6 to 12 Vdc input configuration was designed for automotive applications that must survive a reverse battery condition. In this case one of the rectifiers remains on the board to provide protection against reversing the power supply leads.
