It delivers a minimum of 2.1-A peak switch current. The device operates very similar to a voltage regulated boost converter except that the device regulates the output current that passes through LEDs. The current magnitude is set with a series resistor. The converter regulates to the feedback voltage (190 mV) created by the multiplication of the series resistor and the LED current. The regulator has a preset switching frequency of either 525 kHz or 1.6 MHz. This high frequency allows the LM3410 or LM3410-Q1 to operate with small surface mount capacitors and inductors, resulting in a DC-DC converter that requires a minimum amount of board space. The LM3410 and LM3410-Q1 are internally compensated and requires few external components, making usage simple. The LM3410 and LM3410-Q1 use current-mode control to regulate the LED current. The LM3410 and LM3410-Q1 supply a regulated LED current by switching the internal NMOS control switch at constant frequency and variable duty cycle. A switching cycle begins at the falling edge of the reset pulse generated by the internal oscillator. When this pulse goes low, the output control logic turns on the internal NMOS control switch. During this ON time, the SW pin voltage (VSW) decreases to approximately GND, and the inductor current (IL) increases with a linear slope. IL is measured by the current sense amplifier, which generates an output proportional to the switch current. The sensed signal is summed with the regulator's corrective ramp and compared to the error amplifier's output, which is proportional to the difference between the feedback voltage and reference voltage (VREF). When the PWM comparator output goes high, the output switch turns off until the next switching cycle begins. During the switch OFF time, inductor current discharges through diode D1, which forces the SW pin to swing to the output voltage plus the forward voltage (VD) of the diode. The regulator loop adjusts the duty cycle (D) to maintain a regulated LED current. IL L1 Q1 VIN Control VO D1 IC + VSW C 1 I LED Figure 10.

This current limit does not protect the output from excessive current during an output short circuit. The input supply is connected to the output by the series connection of an inductor and a diode. If a short circuit is placed on the output, excessive current can damage both the inductor and diode. 7.3.2 DIM Pin and Shutdown Mode The average LED current can be controlled using a PWM signal on the DIM pin. The duty cycle can be varied from 0 to 100%, to either increase or decrease LED brightness. PWM frequencies from 1 Hz to 25 kHz can be used. For controlling LED currents down to the A levels, it is best to use a PWM signal frequency from 200 to 1 kHz. The maximum LED current would be achieved using a 100% duty cycle, that is the DIM pin always high. 7.4 Device Functional Modes 7.4.1 Thermal Shutdown Thermal shutdown limits total power dissipation by turning off the output switch when the IC junction temperature exceeds 165C. After thermal shutdown occurs, the output switch does not turn on until the junction temperature drops to approximately 150C. 10 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2007-2016, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM3410 LM3410-Q1 LM3410, LM3410-Q1 www.ti.com SNVS541H - OCTOBER 2007 - REVISED AUGUST 2016 8 Application and Implementation NOTE Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI's customers are responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality. 8.1 Application Information 8.1.1 Boost Converter 8.1.1.1 Setting the LED Current I LED V FB R SET Figure 12. Setting ILED The LED current is set using the following equation: VFB R SET = ILED where * RSET is connected between the FB pin and GND. (1) 8.1.1.2 LED-Drive Capability When using the LM3410 or LM3410-Q1 in the typical application configuration, with LEDs stacked in series between the VOUT and FB pin, the maximum number of LEDs that can be placed in series is dependent on the maximum LED forward voltage (VFMAX). (VFMAX x NLEDs) + 190 mV < 24 V (2) When inserting a value for maximum VFMAX the LED forward voltage variation over the operating temperature range must be considered. 8.1.1.3 Inductor Selection The inductor value determines the input ripple current. Lower inductor values decrease the physical size of the inductor, but increase the input ripple current. An increase in the inductor value decreases the input ripple current.

A more accurate formula for calculating the conversion ratio is: V OUT V IN = K ' where * equals the efficiency of the device application.

A good design practice is to allow the inductor to produce 20% to 50% ripple of maximum load. The increased ripple is unlikely to be a problem when illuminating LEDs. From the previous equations, the inductor value is then obtained. VIN * L = x DTS (c)2'iL where * 1 / TS = fSW (9) Ensure that the minimum current limit (2.1 A) is not exceeded, so the peak current in the inductor must be calculated. The peak current (Lpk I) in the inductor is calculated by Equation 10: ILpk = IIN + IL or ILpk = IOUT /D' + iL (10) When selecting an inductor, make sure that it is capable of supporting the peak input current without saturating. Inductor saturation results in a sudden reduction in inductance and prevent the regulator from operating correctly. Because of the speed of the internal current limit, the peak current of the inductor only needs to be specified for the required maximum input current. For example, if the designed maximum input current is 1.5 A and the peak current is 1.75 A, then the inductor must be specified with a saturation current limit of >1.75 A. There is no need to specify the saturation or peak current of the inductor at the 2.8-A typical switch current limit. Because of the operating frequency of the LM3410 and LM3410-Q1, ferrite based inductors are preferred to minimize core losses. This presents little restriction because the variety of ferrite-based inductors is huge. Lastly, inductors with lower series resistance (DCR) provides better operating efficiency. For recommended inductor value examples, see Typical Applications. 8.1.1.4 Input Capacitor An input capacitor is necessary to ensure that VIN does not drop excessively during switching transients. The primary specifications of the input capacitor are capacitance, voltage, RMS current rating, and ESL (Equivalent Series Inductance). TI recommens an input capacitance from 2.2 F to 22 F depending on the application. The capacitor manufacturer specifically states the input voltage rating. Make sure to check any recommended deratings and also verify if there is any significant change in capacitance at the operating input voltage and the operating temperature. The ESL of an input capacitor is usually determined by the effective cross sectional area of the current path. At the operating frequencies of the LM3410 and LM3410-Q1, certain capacitors may have an ESL so large that the resulting impedance (2fL) is higher than that required to provide stable operation. As a result, TI recommends surface mount capacitors. Multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCC) are good choices for both input and output capacitors and have very low ESL. For MLCCs TI recommends use of X7R or X5R dielectrics. Consult the capacitor manufacturer's datasheet for rated capacitance variation over operating conditions. 8.1.1.5 Output Capacitor The LM3410 and LM3410-Q1 operate at frequencies allowing the use of ceramic output capacitors without compromising transient response. Ceramic capacitors allow higher inductor ripple without significantly increasing output ripple. The output capacitor is selected based upon the desired output ripple and transient response. The initial current of a load transient is provided mainly by the output capacitor. The output impedance therefore determines the maximum voltage perturbation. The output ripple of the converter is a function of the capacitor's reactance and its equivalent series resistance (ESR) (see Equation 11).

When this occurs, the output ripple is approximately sinusoidal and 90 phase shifted from the switching action. Given the availability and quality of MLCCs and the expected output voltage of designs using the LM3410 or LM3410-Q1, there no need to review any other capacitor technologies. Another benefit of ceramic capacitors is their ability to bypass high frequency noise. A certain amount of switching edge noise couples through parasitic capacitances in the inductor to the output. A ceramic capacitor bypasses this noise while a tantalum does not. Because the output capacitor is one of the two external components that control the stability of the regulator control loop, most applications requires a minimum at 0.47 F of output capacitance. Like the input capacitor, TI recommends X7R or X5R as multilayer ceramic capacitors. Again, verify actual capacitance at the desired operating voltage and temperature. 8.1.1.6 Diode The diode (D1) conducts during the switch off time. TI recommends Schottky diode for its fast switching times and low forward voltage drop. The diode must be chosen so that its current rating is greater than: ID1 IOUT (12) The reverse breakdown rating of the diode must be at least the maximum output voltage plus appropriate margin. 8.1.1.7 Output Overvoltage Protection A simple circuit consisting of an external Zener diode can be implemented to protect the output and the LM3410 or LM3410-Q1 device from an overvoltage fault condition. If an LED fails open, or is connected backwards, an output open circuit condition occurs. No current is conducted through the LEDs, and the feedback node equals zero volts. The LM3410 or LM3410-Q1 reacts to this fault by increasing the duty cycle, thinking the LED current has dropped. A simple circuit that protects the device is shown in Figure 14. Zener diode D2 and resistor R3 is placed from VOUT in parallel with the string of LEDs. If the output voltage exceeds the breakdown voltage of the Zener diode, current is drawn through the Zener diode, R3 and sense resistor R1. Once the voltage across R1 and R3 equals the feedback voltage of 190 mV, the LM3410 and LM3410-Q1 limits their duty cycle. No damage occurs to the device, the LEDs, or the Zener diode. Once the fault is corrected, the application will work as intended. 14 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2007-2016, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM3410 LM3410-Q1 LM3410, LM3410-Q1 www.ti.com SNVS541H - OCTOBER 2007 - REVISED AUGUST 2016 Application Information (continued) V SW D1 LEDs O V P D2 C2 R3 V FB R1 Figure 14. Overvoltage Protection Circuit 8.1.2 SEPIC Converter The LM3410 or LM3410-Q1 can easily be converted into a SEPIC converter. A SEPIC converter has the ability to regulate an output voltage that is either larger or smaller in magnitude than the input voltage. Other converters have this ability as well (CUK and Buck-Boost), but usually create an output voltage that is opposite in polarity to the input voltage. This topology is a perfect fit for Lithium Ion battery applications where the input voltage for a single cell Li-Ion battery varies from 2.7 V to 4.5 V and the output voltage is somewhere in between. Most of the analysis of the LM3410 Boost Converter is applicable to the LM3410 SEPIC Converter.

Therefore it is a safe approximation to assume a DC value for these components. The main objective of the Steady State Analysis is to determine the steady state duty cycle, voltage and current stresses on all components, and proper values for all components. In a steady-state converter, the net volt-seconds across an inductor after one cycle equals zero. Also, the charge into a capacitor equals the charge out of a capacitor in one cycle.

Inductor Volt-Second Balance Waveform Applying Charge balance on C1: VC3 = D'( VOUT) D (17) Because there are no DC voltages across either inductor, and capacitor C3 is connected to Vin through L1 at one end, or to ground through L2 on the other end, we can say that VC3 = VIN (18) Therefore: VIN = D'( VOUT) D (19) This verifies the original conversion ratio equation. It is important to remember that the internal switch current is equal to IL1 and IL2 during the D interval. Design the converter so that the minimum ensured peak switch current limit (2.1 A) is not exceeded.

Assuming an approximate conversion efficiency () of 90% DMAX is calculated using Equation 28. DMAX = VOUT - x VIN(min) 14.6V - 0.9 x 2.7V = = 0.834 VOUT 14.6V (28) 8.2.1.2.3 Calculate the Inductor Value (L1) Using the maximum duty cycle, the minimum input voltage, and the maximum inductor ripple current (iLp-p) the minimum inductor value to achieve the maximum ripple current is calculated using Equation 29. VIN(min) x DMAX x TS 2.7V x 0.834 x 625ns L1 = F p G = l 2 x 100mA 2 x iL-PP H (29) To ensure the maximum inductor ripple current requirement is met with a 20% inductor tolerance an inductor value of L1 = 10 H is selected. 8.2.1.2.4 Calculate the Output Capacitor (C2) To maintain a maximum of 250-mV output voltage ripple the dynamic resistance of the LED stack (RD) must be used. Assuming a ceramic capacitor is used so the ESR can be neglected this minimum amount of capacitance can be found using Equation 30. C2 * VOUT x DMAX 14.6V x 0.834 = = 2 x fSW x RD x VOUT 2 x 1.6MHz x x 14.6V F (30) 1.9 F is not a standard value so a value of C2 = 2.2 F is selected. 8.2.1.2.5 Input Capacitor (C1) and Schottky Diode (D1) TI recommends an input capacitor from 2.2 F to 22 F. This is a relatively low power design optimized for a small footprint. For a good balance of input filtering and small size a 6.3-V capacitor with a value of C1 = 10 F is selected. The output voltage with a 5 LED load is over 18 V and the reverse voltage of the schottky diode must be greater than this voltage. To give some headroom to avoid reverse breakdown and to maintain small size and reliability the diode selected is D1 = 30 V, 500 mA. 20 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2007-2016, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM3410 LM3410-Q1 LM3410, LM3410-Q1 www.ti.com SNVS541H - OCTOBER 2007 - REVISED AUGUST 2016 8.2.1.3 Application Curves Figure 20.

The most important consideration when completing a boost converter layout is the close coupling of the GND connections of the COUT capacitor and the PGND pin. The GND ends must be close to one another and be connected to the GND plane with at least two vias. There must be a continuous ground plane on the bottom layer of a two-layer board except under the switching node island. The FB pin is a high impedance node and the FB trace must be kept short to avoid noise pickup and inaccurate regulation. The RSET feedback resistor must be placed as close as possible to the IC, with the AGND of RSET (R1) placed as close as possible to the AGND of the IC. Radiated noise can be decreased by choosing a shielded inductor. The remaining components must also be placed as close as possible to the IC. See AN-1229 SIMPLE SWITCHER(R) PCB Layout Guidelins (SNVA054) for further considerations and the LM3410 demo board as an example of a four-layer layout. For certain high power applications, the PCB land may be modified to a dog bone shape (see Figure 33). Increasing the size of ground plane and adding thermal vias can reduce the RJA for the application. 10.2 Layout Examples LEDs COPPER PCB R1 PGND DIM FB 4 PGND 1 6 SW VIN 2 5 AGND DIM 3 4 FB 3 AGND 5 C2 VIN VSW VO 2 6 1 PGND D1 C1 SW L1 COPPER Figure 32.

The surrounding maximum air temperature is fairly explanatory. As the temperature increases, the junction temperature increases. This may not be linear though. As the surrounding air temperature increases, resistances of semiconductors, wires and traces increase. This decreases the efficiency of the application, and more power is converted into heat, and increases the silicon junction temperatures further. Forced air can drastically reduce the device junction temperature. Air flow reduces the hot spots within a design. Warm airflow is often much better than a lower ambient temperature with no airflow. Choose components that are efficient, and the mutual heating between devices can be reduced. The PCB design is a very important step in the thermal design procedure. The LM3410 and LM3410-Q1 are available in three package options (6-pin WSON, 8-pin MSOP, and 5-pin SOT-23). The options are electrically the same, but there are differences between the package sizes and thermal performances. The WSON and MSOP have thermal die attach pads (DAP) attached to the bottom of the packages, and are therefore capable of dissipating more heat than the SOT-23 package. It is important that the customer choose the correct package for the application. A detailed thermal design procedure has been included in this data sheet. This procedure helps determine which package is correct, and common applications are analyzed. There is one significant thermal PCB layout design consideration that contradicts a proper electrical PCB layout design consideration. This contradiction is the placement of external components that dissipate heat. The greatest external heat contributor is the external Schottky diode. Increasing the distance between the LM3410 or LM3410-Q1 and the Schottky diode may reduce the mutual heating effect. This, however, creates electrical performance issues. It is important to keep the device, the output capacitor, and Schottky diode physically close to each other (see Layout Guidelines). The electrical design considerations outweigh the thermal considerations. Other factors that influence thermal performance are thermal vias, copper weight, and number of board layers. Heat energy is transferred from regions of high temperature to regions of low temperature via three basic mechanisms: radiation, conduction and convection. Conduction and convection are the dominant heat transfer mechanism in most applications. The data sheet values for each packages thermal impedances are given to allow comparison of the thermal performance of one package against another. To achieve a comparison between packages, all other variables must be held constant in the comparison (PCB size, copper weight, thermal vias, power dissipation, VIN, VOUT, load current, and others). This provides indication of package performance, but it would be a mistake to use these values to calculate the actual junction temperature in an application. 10.3.2 LM3410 and LM3410-Q1 Thermal Models Heat is dissipated from the LM3410, LM3410-Q1, and other devices. The external loss elements include the Schottky diode, inductor, and loads. All loss elements mutually increase the heat on the PCB, and therefore increase each other's temperatures.

R TJA = T J - TA PDissipation (31) A common error when calculating RJA is to assume that the package is the only variable to consider. Other variables are: * Input voltage, output voltage, output current, RDS(ON) * Ambient temperature and air flow * Internal and external components' power dissipation * Package thermal limitations * PCB variables (copper weight, thermal vias, and component placement) Another common error when calculating junction temperature is to assume that the top case temperature is the proper temperature when calculating RJC. RJC represents the thermal impedance of all six sides of a package, not just the top side. This document refers to a thermal impedance called RJC. RJC represents a thermal impedance associated with just the top case temperature. This allows for the calculation of the junction temperature with a thermal sensor connected to the top case. The complete LM3410 and LM3410-Q1 boost converter efficiency can be calculated using Equation 32. K POUT PIN or POUT POUT PLOSS K where * PLOSS is the sum of two types of losses in the converter, switching and conduction (32) Conduction losses usually dominate at higher output loads, where as switching losses remain relatively fixed and dominate at lower output loads. To calculate losses in the LM3410 or LM3410-Q1 device, use Equation 33. PLOSS = PCOND + PSW + PQ where * PQ = quiescent operating power loss (33) Conversion ratio of the boost converter with conduction loss elements inserted is calculated with Equation 34.

Other losses totaling less than 2% are not discussed. A simple efficiency calculation that takes into account the conduction losses is Equation 39. Dc x VD * 1 VIN K| R + (D x R DSON ) 1 + DCR 2R c D (c) OUT (39) The diode, NMOS switch, and inductor (DCR) losses are included in this calculation. Setting any loss element to zero simplifies the equation. VD is the forward voltage drop across the Schottky diode. It can be obtained from Electrical Characteristics. Conduction losses in the diode are calculated with Equation 40. PDIODE = VD x ILED (40) Depending on the duty cycle, this can be the single most significant power loss in the circuit. Choose a diode that has a low forward voltage drop. Another concern with diode selection is reverse leakage current. Depending on the ambient temperature and the reverse voltage across the diode, the current being drawn from the output to the NMOS switch during time (D) could be significant, this may increase losses internal to the LM3410 or LM3410-Q1 and reduce the overall efficiency of the application. See the Schottky diode manufacturer's data sheets for reverse leakage specifications. Another significant external power loss is the conduction loss in the input inductor. The power loss within the inductor can be simplified to Equation 41, PIND = IIN2RDCR (41) Or Equation 42. 36 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2007-2016, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM3410 LM3410-Q1 LM3410, LM3410-Q1 www.ti.com SNVS541H - OCTOBER 2007 - REVISED AUGUST 2016 Thermal Considerations (continued) * I 2 R PIND = O DCR D' (c) (42) The LM3410 and LM3410-Q1 conduction loss is mainly associated with the internal power switch.

As an example, at 125C and RDS(ON) = 250 m (See Typical Characteristics for value). Switching losses are also associated with the internal power switch. They occur during the switch ON and OFF transition periods, where voltages and currents overlap resulting in power loss. The simplest means to determine this loss is empirically measuring the rise and fall times (10% to 90%) of the switch at the switch node. PSWR = 1/2 (VOUT x IIN x fSW x tRISE) PSWF = 1/2 (VOUT x IIN x fSW x tFALL) PSW = PSWR + PSWF (47) (48) (49) Table 25.
