EVALUATION KIT AVAILABLE MAX16832A/MAX16832C 2MHz, High-Brightness LED Drivers with Integrated MOSFET and High-Side Current Sense General Description Benefits and Features The MAX16832A/MAX16832C step-down constant-current high-brightness LED (HB LED) drivers provide a cost-effective design solution for automotive interior/exterior lighting, architectural and ambient lighting, LED bulbs, and other LED illumination applications. The MAX16832A/MAX16832C operate from a +6.5V to +65V input voltage range and can provide an output current up to 700mA, if operated up to a temperature of +125C, or up to a 1A if operated up to a temperature of +105C. A high-side current-sense resistor adjusts the output current, and a dedicated pulse-width modulation (PWM) input enables pulsed LED dimming over a wide range of brightness levels. * Cost-Effective Solution for a Wide Range of LED Lighting Applications * 6.5V to 65V Input Voltage Range * Output Current Up to 1A * 3% LED Current Accuracy * Selectable Dimming Options: Linear or PWM These devices are well suited for applications requiring a wide input voltage range. The high-side current sensing and an integrated current-setting circuitry minimize the number of external components while delivering an average output current with 3% accuracy. A hysteretic control method ensures excellent input supply rejection and fast response during load transients and PWM dimming. The MAX16832A allows 10% current ripple, and the MAX16832C allows 30% current ripple. Both devices operate up to a 2MHz switching frequency, thus allowing the use of small-sized components. The MAX16832A/MAX16832C offer an analog dimming feature that reduces the output current by applying an external DC voltage below the internal 2V threshold voltage from TEMP_I to GND. TEMP_I also sources 25A to a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor connected between TEMP_I and GND, thus providing an analog thermal-foldback feature that reduces the LED current when the temperature of the LED string exceeds a specified temperature point. Additional features include thermal-shutdown protection. The MAX16832A/MAX16832C operate over the -40C to +125C automotive temperature range and are available in a thermally enhanced 8-pin SO package. * Minimal Component Count Saves Cost and Space * On-Board 65V, 0.45 Power MOSFET * Resistor-Programmable Constant LED Current * Integrated High-Side Current Sense with 200mV Current-Sense Reference * Hysteretic Control: Up to 2MHz Switching Frequency * Protection Features and Wide Operating Temperature Range Improves Lighting Fixture Reliability * Thermal-Foldback Protection Dims LEDs to Minimize Overheating * Thermal-Shutdown Protection * Available in a Thermally Enhanced 8-Pin SO Package * Operation over -40C to +125C Temperature Range Ordering Information and Pin Configuration appear at end of data sheet.

Detailed Description The MAX16832A/MAX16832C are step-down, constantcurrent, HB LED drivers. These devices operate from a +6.5V to +65V input voltage range. The maximum output is 1A, if the part is used at temperatures up to TA = +105C, or 700mA, if it is used up to TA = +125C. A high-side current-sense resistor sets the output current www.maximintegrated.com and a dedicated PWM dimming input enables pulsed LED dimming over a wide range of brightness levels. A high-side current-sensing scheme and an on-board current-setting circuitry minimize the number of external components while delivering LED current with 3% accuracy, using a 1% sense resistor. See Figure 1 for a functional diagram.

Functional Diagram www.maximintegrated.com Maxim Integrated | 6 2MHz, High-Brightness LED Drivers with Integrated MOSFET and High-Side Current Sense MAX16832A/MAX16832C Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) The MAX16832A/MAX16832C include a UVLO with 500mV hysteresis. The internal MOSFET turns off when VIN falls below 5.5V to 6.0V. DIM Input LED dimming is achieved by applying a PWM signal at DIM. A logic level below 0.6V at DIM forces the MAX16832A/MAX16832Cs' output low, thus turning off the LED current. To turn the LED current on, the logic level at DIM must be greater than 2.8V. Thermal Shutdown The MAX16832A/MAX16832C thermal-shutdown feature turns off the LX driver when the junction temperature exceeds +165C. The LX driver turns back on when the junction temperature drops 10C below the shutdown temperature threshold. Analog Dimming The MAX16832A/MAX16832C offer an analog-dimming feature that reduces the output current when the voltage at TEMP_I is below the internal 2V threshold voltage. The MAX16832A/MAX16832C achieve analog dimming by either an external DC voltage source connected between TEMP_I and ground or by a voltage on a resistor connected across TEMP_I and ground induced by an internal current source of 25A. When the voltage at TEMP_I is below the internal 2V threshold limit, the MAX16832A/MAX16832C reduce the LED current. Use the following formula to set the analog dimming current: 1 ITF (A) = ILED (A) x 1- FBSLOPE x VTFB _ ON - VAD (V) V ( ) where VTFB_ON = 2V and FBSLOPE = 0.75 are obtained from the Electrical Characteristics table and VAD is the voltage at TEMP_I. Thermal Foldback The MAX16832A/MAX16832C include a thermal-foldback feature that reduces the output current when the temperature of the LED string exceeds a specified temperature point. These devices enter thermal-foldback mode when the voltage drop on the NTC thermistor, thermally attached to the LEDs and electrically connected between TEMP_I and ground, drops below the internal 2V threshold limit. www.maximintegrated.com Applications Information Selecting RSENSE to Set LED Current The LED current is programmed with a current-sense resistor connected between IN and CS. Use the following equation to calculate the value of this resistor: RSENSE () = 1 (VSNSHI + VSNSLO )(V) ILED (A) 2 where VSNSHI is the sense voltage threshold high and VSNSLO is the sense voltage threshold low (see the Electrical Characteristics table for values). Current-Regulator Operation The MAX16832A/MAX16832C regulate the LED current using a comparator with hysteresis (see Figure 2). As the current through the inductor ramps up and the voltage across the sense resistor reaches the upper threshold, the internal MOSFET turns off. The internal MOSFET turns on again when the inductor current ramps down through the freewheeling diode until the voltage across the sense resistor equals the lower threshold. Use the following equation to determine the operating frequency: fSW = (VIN - nVLED ) x nVLED x RSENSE VIN x V x L where n is the number of LEDs, VLED is the forward voltage drop of 1 LED, and V = (VSNSHI - VSNSLO). Inductor Selection The MAX16832A/MAX16832C operate up to a switching frequency of 2MHz. For space-sensitive applications, the high switching frequency allows the size of the inductor to be reduced. Use the following formula to calculate an approximate inductor value and use the closest standard value: L(approx.) = (VIN - nVLED ) x nVLED x RSENSE VIN x V x fSW For component selection, use the MAX16832A/C Design Tool available at: www.maximintegrated.com/MAX16832software.

Current-Regulator Operation Freewheeling-Diode Selection For stability and best efficiency, a low forward-voltage drop diode with fast reverse-recovery time and low capacitance is recommended. A Schottky diode is a good choice as long as its breakdown voltage is high enough to withstand the maximum operating voltage. PCB Layout Guidelines Careful PCB layout is critical to achieve low switching losses and stable operation. In normal operation, there are two power loops. One is formed when the internal MOSFET is on and the high current flows from ground through the input cap, R SENSE , the LED load, the inductor, and the internal MOSFET back to ground. The second loop is formed when the internal MOSFET is off and the high current circulates from the input cap positive terminal through RSENSE, the LED load, the inductor, and the freewheeling diode and back to the input cap positive terminal. Note that the current through RSENSE, the LED load, and the inductor is basically DC with some triangular ripple (low noise). The high-noise, large signal, fast transition switching currents only flow through the freewheeling diode to the input cap positive www.maximintegrated.com terminal, or through the MOSFET to ground and then to the input cap positive terminal. Without a proper PCB layout, these square-wave switching currents can create problems in a hysteretic LED driver. The current control depends solely on the voltage across RSENSE. Any noise pickup on this node induces erratic switching of the internal MOSFET (the IC will operate at a much higher frequency). To help prevent this, place RSENSE as close as possible to CS and IN and keep the sense traces short. It is especially important to keep the square-wave switching currents in the freewheeling diode away from RSENSE. To minimize interference, place the freewheeling diode on the opposite side of the IC as RSENSE and position the input capacitor near the diode so it can return the high frequency currents to ground. The layout in Figure 3 should be used as a guideline. The dashed line shows the path of the high frequency components that cause disruption in operation. For a good thermal design, the exposed pad on the IC should solder to a large pad with many vias to the backside ground plane.
