Ideal for automotive, industrial, and general lighting applications, they contain a high-side N-channel MOSFET switch with a current limit of 2.0A (typical) for step-down (Buck) regulators. Controlled on-time with true average current and an external current sense resistor allow the converter output voltage to adjust as needed to deliver a constant current to series and series-parallel connected LED arrays of varying number and type. LED dimming via pulse width modulation (PWM) is achieved using a dedicated logic pin or by PWM of the power input voltage.

These features combine to make them ideal for use as a constant current source for LEDs with forward currents as high as 1.5A. The controlled on-time (COT) architecture uses a comparator and a one-shot on-timer that varies inversely with input and output voltage instead of a fixed clock. The LM3406 family also employs an integrator circuit that averages the output current. When the converter runs in continuous conduction mode (CCM) the controlled on-time maintains a constant switching frequency over changes in both input and output voltage. These features combine to give the LM3406 family an accurate output current, fast transient response, and constant switching frequency over a wide range of conditions. 8.2 CONTROLLED ON-TIME OVERVIEW shows a simplified version of the feedback system used to control the current through an array of LEDs. A differential voltage signal, VSNS, is created as the LED current flows through the current setting resistor, RSNS. VSNS is fed back by the CS pin, where it is integrated and compared against an error amplifier-generated reference. The error amplifier is a transconductance (Gm) amplifier which adjusts the voltage on COMP to maintain a 200 mV average at the CS pin. The on-comparator turns on the power MOSFET when VSNS falls below the reference created by the Gm amp. The power MOSFET conducts for a controlled on-time, tON, set by an external resistor, RON, the input voltage, VIN and the output voltage, VO. On-time can be estimated by the following simplified equation (for the most accurate version of this expression see the Appendix): tON = 1 x 10-11 x RON x VO VIN (1) At the conclusion of tON the power MOSFET turns off and must remain off for a minimum of 230 ns. Once this tOFF-MIN is complete the CS comparator compares the integrated VSNS and reference again, waiting to begin the next cycle.

On-time tON, duty cycle D and switching frequency fSW are related by the following expression: fSW = D / tON D = (VO + VD) / (VIN - VSW + VD) VD = Schottky diode (typically 0.5V) VSW = IF x RDSON (2) (3) (4) (5) The LM3406 family regulators should be operated in continuous conduction mode (CCM), where inductor current stays positive throughout the switching cycle. During steady-state CCM operation, the converter maintains a constant switching frequency that can be estimated using the following equation (for the most accurate version, particularly for applications that will have an input or output voltage of less than approximately 12V, see the Appendix): fSW = 1 1 x 10-11 x RON (6) (7) 8.4 SETTING LED CURRENT LED current is set by the resistor RSNS, which can be determined using the following simple expression due to the output averaging: RSNS = 0.2 / IF (8) 8.5 MAXIMUM NUMBER OF SERIES LEDS LED driver designers often want to determine the highest number of LEDs that can be driven by their circuits. The limit on the maximum number of series LEDs is set by the highest output voltage, VO-MAX, that the LED driver can provide. A buck regulator cannot provide an output voltage that is higher than the minimum input voltage, and in pratice the maximum output voltage of the LM3406 family is limited by the minimum off-time as well. VOMAX determines how many LEDs can be driven in series. Referring to the illustration in , output voltage is calculated as: VO-MAX = VIN-MIN x (1 - fSW x tOFF-MIN) (9) tOFF-MIN = 230 ns Once VO-MAX has been calculated, the maximum number of series LEDs, nMAX, can be calculated by the following espression and rounding down: nMAX = VO-MAX / VF (10) VF = forward voltage of each LED At low switching frequency VO-MAX is higher, allowing the LM3406 family to regulate output voltages that are nearly equal to input voltage, and this can allow the system to drive more LEDs in series. Low switching frequencies are not always desireable, however, because they require larger, more expensive components. 8.6 CALCULATING OUTPUT VOLTAGE Even though output current is the controlled parameter in LED drivers, output voltage must still be calculated in order to design the complete circuit. Referring to the illustration in , output voltage is calculated as: VO = n x VF + VSNS (11) VSNS = sense voltage of 200 mV, n = number of LEDs in series 10 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2008-2014, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM3406 LM3406HV LM3406HV-Q1 LM3406, LM3406HV, LM3406HV-Q1 www.ti.com SNVS512E - SEPTEMBER 2008 - REVISED MARCH 2014 8.7 MINIMUM ON-TIME The minimum on-time for the LM3406 family is 280 ns (typical). One practical example of reaching the minimum on-time is when dimming the LED light output with a power FET placed in parallel to the LEDs. When the FET is on, the output voltage drops to 200 mV. This results in a small duty cycle and in most circuits requires an on-time that would be less than 280 ns. In such a case the LM3406 family keeps the on-time at 280 ns and increases the off-time as much as needed, which effectively reduces the switching frequency. 8.8 HIGH VOLTAGE BIAS REGULATOR (VCC) The LM3406 family contains an internal linear regulator with a 7V output, connected between the VIN and the VCC pins. The VCC pin should be bypassed to the GND pin with a 0.1 F ceramic capacitor connected as close as possible to the pins of the IC. VCC tracks VIN until VIN reaches 8.8V (typical) and then regulates at 7V as VIN increases. The LM3406 family comes out of UVLO and begins operating when VCC crosses 5.3V. This is shown graphically in the Typical Performance curves. Connecting an external supply to VCC to power the gate drivers is not recommended. However, it may be done if certain precautions are taken. Be sure that the external supply will not violate any absolute maximum conditions and will at no point exceed the voltage applied to the VIN pins. Under certain conditions, some ringing may be present on the SW and BOOT pins when VCC is driven with an external supply. It is important to ensure that the absolute maximum ratings of these pins are not violated during the ringing or else damage to the device may occur. 8.9 INTERNAL MOSFET AND DRIVER The LM3406 family features an internal power MOSFET as well as a floating driver connected from the SW pin to the BOOT pin. Both rise time and fall time are 20 ns each (typical) and the approximate gate charge is 9 nC. The high-side rail for the driver circuitry uses a bootstrap circuit consisting of an internal high-voltage diode and an external 22 nF capacitor, CB. VCC charges CB through the internal diode while the power MOSFET is off. When the MOSFET turns on, the internal diode reverse biases. This creates a floating supply equal to the VCC voltage minus the diode drop to drive the MOSFET when its source voltage is equal to VIN. 8.10 FAST LOGIC PIN FOR PWM DIMMING The DIM pin is a TTL compatible input for PWM dimming of the LED. A logic low (below 0.8V) at DIM will disable the internal MOSFET and shut off the current flow to the LED array. While the DIM pin is in a logic low state the support circuitry (driver, bandgap, VCC) remains active in order to minimize the time needed to turn the LED array back on when the DIM pin sees a logic high (above 2.2V). A 75 A (typical) pull-up current ensures that the LM3406 family is on when DIM pin is open circuited, eliminating the need for a pull-up resistor. Dimming frequency, fDIM, and duty cycle, DDIM, are limited by the LED current rise time and fall time and the delay from activation of the DIM pin to the response of the internal power MOSFET. In general, fDIM should be at least one order of magnitude lower than the steady state switching frequency in order to prevent aliasing. 8.11 INPUT VOLTAGE COMPARATOR FOR PWM DIMMING Adding an external input diode and using the internal VINS comparator allows the LM3406 family to sense and respond to dimming that is done by PWM of the input voltage. This method is also referred to as "Two-Wire Dimming", and a typical application circuit is shown in . If the VINS pin voltage falls 70% below the VIN pin voltage, the LM3406 family disables the internal power FET and shuts off the current to the LED array. The support circuitry (driver, bandgap, VCC) remains active in order to minimize the time needed to the turn the LED back on when the VINS pin voltage rises and exceeds 70% of VIN. This minimizes the response time needed to turn the LED array back on.

For such applications the LED current slew rate can by increased by shorting the LED current with a N-MOSFET placed in parallel to the LED or LED array, as shown in . While the parallel FET is on the output current flows through it, effectively reducing the output voltage to equal the CS pin voltage of 0.2V. This dimming method maintains a continuous current through the inductor, and therefore eliminates the biggest delay in turning the LED(s) or and off. The trade-off with parallel FET dimming is that more power is wasted while the FET is on, although in most cases the power wasted is small compared to the power dissipated in the LEDs. Parallel FET circuits should use no output capacitance or a bare minimum for noise filtering in order to minimize the slew rate of output voltage. Dimming FET Q1 can be driven from a ground-referenced source because the source stays at 0.2V along with the CS pin.

The power MOSFET is disabled for a cooldown time that of approximately 100 s. At the conclusion of this cool-down time the system re-starts. If the current limit condition persists the cycle of cool-down time and restarting will continue, creating a low-power hiccup mode, minimizing thermal stress on the LM3406 family and the external circuit components. 8.14 OVER-VOLTAGE/OVER-CURRENT COMPARATOR The CS pin includes an output over-voltage/over-current comparator that will disable the power MOSFET whenever VSNS exceeds 300 mV. This threshold provides a hard limit for the output current. Output current overshoot is limited to 300 mV / RSNS by this comparator during transients. The OVP/OCP comparator limits the maximum ripple voltage at the CS pin to 200 mVP-P. 8.15 OUTPUT OPEN-CIRCUIT The most common failure mode for power LEDs is a broken bond wire, and the result is an output open-circuit. When this happens the feedback path is disconnected, and the output voltage will attempt to rise. In buck converters the output voltage can only rise as high as the input voltage, and the minimum off-time requirement ensures that VO(MAX) is slightly less than VIN. shows a method using a zener diode, Z1, and zener limiting resistor, RZ, to limit output voltage to the reverse breakdown voltage of Z1 plus 200 mV. The zener diode reverse breakdown voltage, VZ, must be greater than the maximum combined VF of all LEDs in the array. The maximum recommended value for RZ is 1 k. The output stage (SW and VOUT pins) of the LM3406 family is capable of withstanding VO(MAX) indefinitely as long as the output capacitor is rated to handle the full input voltage. When an LED fails open-circuit and there is no output capacitor present the surge in output voltage due to the collapsing magnetic field in the output inductor can exceed VIN and can damage the LM3406 family IC. As an alternative to the zener clamp method described previously, a diode can be connected from the output to the input of the regulator circuit that will clamp the inductive surge to one VD above VIN. Regardless of which protection method is used a resistance in series with the VOUT pin, ROUT, is recommended to limit the current in the event the VOUT pin is pulled below ground when the LED circuit is reconnected. This can occur frequently if the lead lengths to the LEDs are long and the inductance is significant. A resistor between 1 k and 10 k is recommended.

Low power MOSFETs like the 2N7000, 2N3904, or equivalent are recommended devices for putting the LM3406 family into low power shutdown. Logic gates can also be used to shut down the LM3406 family as long as the logic low voltage is below the over temperature minimum threshold of 0.3V. Noise filter circuitry on the RON pin can cause a few pulses with longer on-times than normal after RON is grounded or released.

Many applications place limits on switching frequency due to EMI sensitivity. The on-time of the LM3406 family can be programmed for switching frequencies ranging from the 10's of kHz to over 1 MHz. This on-time varies in proportion to both VIN and VO in order to maintain first-order control over switching frequency, however in practice the switching frequency will shift in response to large swings in VIN or VO. The maximum switching frequency is limited only by the minimum on-time and minimum off-time requirements. 8.1.2 LED RIPPLE CURRENT Selection of the ripple current, iF, through the LED array is similar to the selection of output ripple voltage in a standard voltage regulator. Where the output ripple in a voltage regulator is commonly 1% to 5% of the DC output voltage, LED manufacturers generally recommend values for iF ranging from 5% to 20% of IF. Higher LED ripple current allows the use of smaller inductors, smaller output capacitors, or no output capacitors at all. Lower ripple current requires more output inductance, higher switching frequency, or additional output capacitance, and may be necessary for applications that are not intended for human eyes, such as machine vision or industrial inspection. 8.1.3 BUCK CONVERTERS WITHOUT OUTPUT CAPACITORS The buck converter is unique among non-isolated topologies because of the direct connection of the inductor to the load during the entire switching cycle. By definition an inductor will control the rate of change of current that flows through it, and this control over current ripple forms the basis for component selection in both voltage regulators and current regulators. A current regulator such as the LED driver for which the LM3406 family was designed focuses on the control of the current through the load, not the voltage across it. A constant current regulator is free of load current transients, and has no need of output capacitance to supply the load and maintain output voltage. Referring to the Typical Application circuit on the front page of this datasheet, the inductor and LED can form a single series chain, sharing the same current. When no output capacitor is used, the same equations that govern inductor ripple current, iL, also apply to the LED ripple current, iF. For a controlled on-time converter such as LM3406 family the ripple current is described by the following expression: 'iL = 'iF = VIN - VO L x tON (12) The triangle-wave inductor current ripple flows through RSNS and produces a triangle-wave voltage at the CS pin. To provide good signal to noise ratio (SNR) the amplitude of CS pin ripple voltage, vCS, should be at least 25 mVP-P. vCS is described by the following: vCS = iF x RSNS (13) 8.1.4 BUCK CONVERTERS WITH OUTPUT CAPACITORS A capacitor placed in parallel with the LED(s) can be used to reduce the LED current ripple while keeping the same average current through both the inductor and the LED array. With an output capacitor the output inductance can be lowered, making the magnetics smaller and less expensive. Alternatively, the circuit could be run at lower frequency but keep the same inductor value, improving the power efficiency. Both the peak current limit and the OVP/OCP comparator still monitor peak inductor current, placing a limit on how large iL can be even if iF is made very small. Adding a capacitor that reduces iF to well below the target provides headroom for changes in inductance or VIN that might otherwise push the peak LED ripple current too high. shows the equivalent impedances presented to the inductor current ripple when an output capacitor, CO, and its equivalent series resistance (ESR) are placed in parallel with the LED array. Note that ceramic capacitors have so little ESR that it can be ignored. The entire inductor ripple current still flows through RSNS to provide the required 25 mV of ripple voltage for proper operation of the CS comparator.

LED dynamic resistance is not always specified on the manufacturer's datasheet, but it can be calculated as the inverse slope of the LED's VF vs. IF curve. Note that dividing VF by IF will give an incorrect value that is 5x to 10x too high. Total dynamic resistance for a string of n LEDs connected in series can be calculated as the rD of one device multiplied by n. Inductor ripple current is still calculated with the expression from Buck Regulators without Output Capacitors. The following equations can then be used to estimate iF when using a parallel capacitor: 'iL 'iF = 1+ ZC = ESR + rD ZC 1 2Sx fSW x CO (14) The calculation for ZC assumes that the shape of the inductor ripple current is approximately sinusoidal. Small values of CO that do not significantly reduce iF can also be used to control EMI generated by the switching action of the LM3406 family. EMI reduction becomes more important as the length of the connections between the LED and the rest of the circuit increase. 8.1.5 INPUT CAPACITORS Input capacitors at the VIN pin of the LM3406 family are selected using requirements for minimum capacitance and rms ripple current. The input capacitors supply pulses of current approximately equal to IF while the power MOSFET is on, and are charged up by the input voltage while the power MOSFET is off. All switching regulators have a negative input impedance due to the decrease in input current as input voltage increases. This inverse proportionality of input current to input voltage can cause oscillations (sometimes called `power supply interaction') if the magnitude of the negative input impedance is greater the the input filter impedance. Minimum capacitance can be selected by comparing the input impedance to the converter's negative resistance; however this requires accurate calculation of the input voltage source inductance and resistance, quantities which can be difficult to determine. An alternative method to select the minimum input capacitance, CIN(MIN), is to select the maximum input voltage ripple which can be tolerated. This value, vIN(MAX), is equal to the change in voltage across CIN during the converter on-time, when CIN supplies the load current. CIN(MIN) can be selected with the following: CIN (MIN) = IF x tON 'VIN (MAX) (15) A good starting point for selection of CIN is to use an input voltage ripple of 5% to 10% of VIN. A minimum input capacitance of 2x the CIN(MIN) value is recommended for all LM3406 family circuits. To determine the rms current rating, the following formula can be used: IIN(rms) = IF x D(1 - D) 16 (16) Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2008-2014, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM3406 LM3406HV LM3406HV-Q1 LM3406, LM3406HV, LM3406HV-Q1 www.ti.com SNVS512E - SEPTEMBER 2008 - REVISED MARCH 2014 DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS (continued) Ceramic capacitors are the best choice for the input to the LM3406 family due to their high ripple current rating, low ESR, low cost, and small size compared to other types. When selecting a ceramic capacitor, special attention must be paid to the operating conditions of the application. Ceramic capacitors can lose one-half or more of their capacitance at their rated DC voltage bias and also lose capacitance with extremes in temperature. A DC voltage rating equal to twice the expected maximum input voltage is recommended. In addition, the minimum quality dielectric which is suitable for switching power supply inputs is X5R, while X7R or better is preferred. 8.1.6 RECIRCULATING DIODE The LM3406 family is a non-synchronous buck regulator that requires a recirculating diode D1 (see the Typical Application circuit) to carrying the inductor current during the MOSFET off-time. The most efficient choice for D1 is a Schottky diode due to low forward drop and near-zero reverse recovery time. D1 must be rated to handle the maximum input voltage plus any switching node ringing when the MOSFET is on. In practice all switching converters have some ringing at the switching node due to the diode parasitic capacitance and the lead inductance. D1 must also be rated to handle the average current, ID, calculated as: ID = (1 - D) x IF (17) This calculation should be done at the maximum expected input voltage. The overall converter efficiency becomes more dependent on the selection of D1 at low duty cycles, where the recirculating diode carries the load current for an increasing percentage of the time. This power dissipation can be calculating by checking the typical diode forward voltage, VD, from the I-V curve on the product datasheet and then multiplying it by ID. Diode datasheets will also provide a typical junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, JA, which can be used to estimate the operating die temperature of the device. Multiplying the power dissipation (PD = ID x VD) by JA gives the temperature rise. The diode case size can then be selected to maintain the Schottky diode temperature below the operational maximum. 8.2 Transient Protection Considerations Considerations need to be made when external sources, loads or connections are made to the switching converter circuit due to the possibility of Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) or Electric Over Stress (EOS) events occurring and damaging the integrated circuit (IC) device. All IC device pins contain zener based clamping structures that are meant to clamp ESD. ESD events are very low energy events, typically less than 5J (microjoules). Any event that transfers more energy than this may damage the ESD structure. Damage is typically represented as a short from the pin to ground as the extreme localized heat of the ESD / EOS event causes the aluminum metal on the chip to melt, causing the short. This situation is common to all integrated 8.2.1 CS PIN PROTECTION When hot swapping in a load (e.g. test points, load boards, LED stack), any residual charge on the load will be immediately transferred through the output capacitor to the CS pin, which is then damaged as shown in below. The EOS event due to the residual charge from the load is represented as VTRANSIENT. From measurements, we know that the 8V ESD structure on the CS pin can typically withstand 25mA of direct current (DC). Adding a 1k resistor in series with the CS pin, shown in , results in the majority of the transient energy to pass through the discrete sense resistor rather than the device. The series resistor limits the peak current that can flow during a transient event, thus protecting the CS pin. With the 1k resistor shown, a 33V, 49A transient on the LED return connector terminal could be absorbed as calculated by: V = 25mA * 1k + 8V = 33V I = 33V / 0.67 = 49A (18) (19) This is an extremely high energy event, so the protection measures previously described should be adequate to solve this issue.

The reason for this is twofold: (1) the CS pin has about 20pF of inherent capacitance inside it which causes a slight delay (20ns for a 1k series resistor), and (2) the comparator that is watching the voltage at the CS pin uses a pnp bipolar transistor at its input. The base current of this pnp transistor is approximately 100nA which will cause a 0.1mV change in the 200mV threshold. These are both very minor changes and are well understood. The shift in current can either be neglected or taken into consideration by changing the current sense resistance slightly. 8.2.2 CS PIN PROTECTION WITH OVP When designing output overvoltage protection into the switching converter circuit using a zener diode, transient protection on the CS pin requires additional consideration. As shown in , adding a zener diode from the output to the CS pin (with the series resistor) for output overvoltage protection will now again allow the transient energy to be passed through the CS pin's ESD structure thereby damaging it. 18 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2008-2014, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM3406 LM3406HV LM3406HV-Q1 LM3406, LM3406HV, LM3406HV-Q1 www.ti.com SNVS512E - SEPTEMBER 2008 - REVISED MARCH 2014 Transient Protection Considerations (continued) Adding an additional series resistor to the CS pin as shown in will result in the majority of the transient energy to pass through the sense resistor thereby protecting the LM340X device.

Any transient that exceeds this voltage may damage the device. Although transient absorption is usually present at the front end of a switching converter circuit, damage to the VIN pin can still occur.

The excited trace inductance then resonates with the input capacitance (similar to an under-damped LC tank circuit) and causes voltages at the VIN pin to rise well in excess of both VIN and the voltage at the module input connector as clamped by the input TVS. If the resonating voltage at the VIN pin exceeds the 80V breakdown voltage of the ESD structure, the ESD structure will activate and then "snap-back" to a lower voltage due to its inherent design. If this lower snap-back voltage is less than the applied nominal VIN voltage, then significant current will flow through the ESD structure resulting in the IC being damaged. An additional TVS or small zener diode should be placed as close as possible to the VIN pins of each IC on the board, in parallel with the input capacitor as shown in . A minor amount of series resistance in the input line would also help, but would lower overall conversion efficiency. For this reason, NTC resistors are often used as inrush limiters instead.

These series resistors limit the peak current that can flow (or cause a voltage drop) during a transient event, thus protecting the pin and the device. Pins that are not used should not be left floating. They should instead be tied to GND or to an appropriate voltage through resistance. 8.3 Design Example 1 The first example circuit uses the LM3406 to create a flexible LED driver capable of driving anywhere from one to five white series-connected LEDs at a current of 1.5A 5% from a regulated DC voltage input of 24V 10%. In addition to the 5% tolerance specified for the average output current, the LED ripple current must be controlled to 10%P-P of the DC value, or 150 mAP-P. The typical forward voltage of each individual LED at 1.5A is 3.9V, hence the output voltage ranges from 4.1V to 19.7V, adding in the 0.2V drop for current sensing.

A value of 40%P-P is typical in many buck converters: iL = 0.4 x 1.5 = 0.6AP-P (30) With the target ripple current determined the inductance can be chosen: L= VIN - VO x tON 'iL (31) (32) -6 LMIN = [(24 - 11.8) x 1.01 x 10 ] / (0.6) = 20.5 H The closest standard inductor value is 22 H. The average current rating should be greater than 1.5A to prevent overheating in the inductor. Inductor current ripple should be calculated for one, three and five LEDs: iL(1 LED) = [(24 - 4.1) x 5.28 x 10-7] / 22 x 10-6 = 478 mAP-P iL(3 LEDs) = [(24 - 11.8) x 1.01 x 10-6] / 22 x 10-6 = 560 mAP-P iL(5 LEDs) = [(24 - 19.7) x 1.51 x 10-6] / 22 x 10-6 = 295 mAP-P (33) (34) (35) The peak LED/inductor current is then estimated. This calculation uses the worst-case ripple current which occurs with three LEDs. IL(PEAK) = IL + 0.5 x iL(MAX) IL(PEAK) = 1.5 + 0.5 x 0.56 = 1.78A (36) (37) In order to prevent inductor saturation the inductor's peak current rating must be above 1.8A. A 22 H off-the shelf inductor rated to 2.1A (peak) and 1.9A (average) with a DCR of 59 m will be used. 8.3.3 USING AN OUTPUT CAPACITOR This application does not require high frequency PWM dimming, allowing the use of an output capacitor to reduce the size and cost of the output inductor while still meeting the 10%P-P target for LED ripple current. To select the proper output capacitor the equation from Buck Regulators with Output Capacitors is re-arranged to yield the following: ZC = 'iF 'iL - 'iF x rD (38) The dynamic resistance, rD,of one LED can be calculated by taking the tangent line to the VF vs. IF curve in the LED datasheet. shows an example rD calculation.

Dynamic resistance is then: rD = VF / IF = 0.5V / 2A = 0.25 (39) The most filtering (and therefore the highest output capacitance) is needed when rD is lowest, which is when there is only one LED. Inductor ripple current with one LED is 478 mAP-P. The required impedance of CO is calculated: ZC = [0.15 / (0.478 - 0.15] x 0.35 = 0.114 (40) A ceramic capacitor will be used and the required capacitance is selected based on the impedance at 362 kHz: CO = 1/(2 x x 0.16 x 3.62 x 105) = 3.9 F (41) This calculation assumes that CO will be a ceramic capacitor, and therefore impedance due to the equivalent series resistance (ESR) and equivalent series inductance (ESL) of of the device is negligible. The closest 10% tolerance capacitor value is 4.7 F. The capacitor used should be rated to 25V or more and have an X7R dielectric. Several manufacturers produce ceramic capacitors with these specifications in the 1206 case size. A typical value for ESR of 3 m can be read from the curve of impedance vs. frequency in the product datasheet. 8.3.4 RSNS Using the expression for RSNS: RSNS = 0.2 / IF RSNS = 0.2 / 1.5 = 0.133 (42) (43) Sub-1 resistors are available in both 1% and 5% tolerance. A 1%, 0.13 device is the closest value, and a 0.33W, 1210 size device will handle the power dissipation of 290 mW. With the resistance selected, the average value of LED current is re-calculated to ensure that current is within the 5% tolerance requirement. From the expression for average LED current: IF = 0.2 / 0.13 = 1.54A, 3% above the target current (44) 8.3.5 INPUT CAPACITOR Following the calculations from the Input Capacitor section, vIN(MAX) will be 24V x 2%P-P = 480 mV. The minimum required capacitance is calculated for the largest tON, corresponding to five LEDs: CIN(MIN) = (1.5 x 1.5 x 10-6) / 0.48 = 4.7 F (45) As with the output capacitor, this required value is low enough to use a ceramic capacitor, and again the effective capacitance will be lower than the rated value with 24V across CIN. Reviewing plots of %C vs. DC Bias for several capacitors reveals that a 4.7 F, 1812-size capacitor in X7R rated to 50V loses about 40% of its rated capacitance at 24V, hence two such caps are needed. Input rms current is high in buck regulators, and the worst-case is when the duty cycle is 50%. Duty cycle in a buck regulator can be estimated as D = VO / VIN, and when this converter drives three LEDs the duty cycle will be nearly 50%. IIN-RMS = 1.5 x Sqrt(0.5 x 0.5) = 750 mA (46) Ripple current ratings for 1812 size ceramic capacitors are typically higher than 2A, so two of them in parallel can tolerate more than enough for this design. 8.3.6 RECIRCULATING DIODE The input voltage of 24V 5% requires Schottky diodes with a reverse voltage rating greater than 30V. The next highest standard voltage rating is 40V. Selecting a 40V rated diode provides a large safety margin for the ringing of the switch node and also makes cross-referencing of diodes from different vendors easier. The next parameters to be determined are the forward current rating and case size. The lower the duty cycle the more thermal stress is placed on the recirculating diode. When driving one LED the duty cycle can be estimated as: D = 4.1 / 24 = 0.17 (47) The estimated average diode current is then: ID = (1 - 0.17) x 1.54 = 1.28A (48) Copyright (c) 2008-2014, Texas Instruments Incorporated Submit Documentation Feedback Product Folder Links: LM3406 LM3406HV LM3406HV-Q1 23 LM3406, LM3406HV, LM3406HV-Q1 SNVS512E - SEPTEMBER 2008 - REVISED MARCH 2014 www.ti.com Design Example 1 (continued) A 2A-rated diode will be used. To determine the proper case size, the dissipation and temperature rise in D1 can be calculated as shown in the Design Considerations section. VD for a case size such as SMB in a 40V, 2A Schottky diode at 1.5A is approximately 0.4V and the JA is 75C/W. Power dissipation and temperature rise can be calculated as: PD = 1.28 x 0.4 = 512 mW TRISE = 0.51 x 75 = 38C (49) 8.3.7 CB, CC AND CF The bootstrap capacitor CB should always be a 22 nF ceramic capacitors with X7R dielectric. A 25V rating is appropriate for all application circuits. The COMP pin capacitor CC and the linear regulator filter capacitor CF should always be 100 nF ceramic capacitors, also with X7R dielectric and a 25V ratings. 8.3.8 EFFICIENCY To estimate the electrical efficiency of this example the power dissipation in each current carrying element can be calculated and summed. Electrical efficiency, , should not be confused with the optical efficacy of the circuit, which depends upon the LEDs themselves. One calculation will be detailed for three LEDs in series, where VO = 11.8V, and these calculations can be repeated for other numbers of LEDs.

The two-wire dimming function will be employed in order to take advantage of the legacy 'theater dimming' method which dims and brightens the interior lights of automobiles by chopping the input voltage with a 200Hz PWM signal. As with the previous example, the typical VF of a white LED is 3.9V, and with the current sense voltage of 0.2V the total output voltage will be 4.1V. The LED driver must operate to specifications over an input range of 9V to 16V as well as operating without suffering damage at 28V for two minutes (the 'double battery jump-start' test) and for 300 ms at 40V (the 'load-dump' test). The LED driver must also be able to operate without suffering damage at inputs as low as 6V to satisfy the 'cold crank' tests.

This design will concentrate on meeting the switching frequency and LED current requirements over the nominal input range of 9V to 16V, and will then check to ensure that the transient conditions do not cause the LM3406 to overheat. The LM3406 will allow a small shift in switching frequency when VIN changes, so the calculation for RON is done at the typical expected condition where VIN = 13.8V and VO = 4.1V. The actual RON calculation uses the high accuracy equation listed in the Appendix. RON = 1 fSW x 1 x 10-11 (57) (58) RON = 124 k The closest 1% tolerance resistor is 124 k. The switching frequency and on-time of the circuit should be checked at VIN-MIN and VIN-MAX which are 9V and 16V, respectively. The actual fSW and tON values have been calculated with the high accuracy equations in the APPENDIX. fSW = 1 1 x 10-11 x RON (59) (60) (61) fSW(VMIN) = 463 kHz fSW(VMAX) = 440 kHz tON = 1 x 10-11 x RON x VO VIN (62) (63) (64) tON(VMIN) = 1090 ns tON(VMAX) = 650 ns 8.4.2 OUTPUT INDUCTOR Since an output capacitor will be used to filter some of the LED ripple current, the inductor ripple current can be set higher than the LED ripple current.

The average current rating should be greater than 1.5A to prevent overheating in the inductor. Inductor current ripple should be calculated for VIN-MIN and VIN-MAX: iL(VMIN) = [(9 - 4.1) x 6.5 x 10-7] / 15 x 10-6 = 357 mAP-P iL(VMAX) = [(16 - 4.1) x 1.09 x 10-6] / 15 x 10-6 = 516 mAP-P (68) (69) The peak LED/inductor current is then estimated. This calculation uses the worst-case ripple current which occurs at VIN-MAX. IL(PEAK) = IL + 0.5 x iL(MAX) IL(PEAK) = 1.5 + 0.5 x 0.516 = 1.76A (70) (71) In order to prevent inductor saturation the inductor's peak current rating must be above 1.8A. A 15 H off-the shelf inductor rated to 2.4A (peak) and 2.2A (average) with a DCR of 47 m will be used. 8.4.3 USING AN OUTPUT CAPACITOR This application does not require high frequency PWM dimming, allowing the use of an output capacitor to reduce the size and cost of the output inductor while still meeting the 20%P-P (300 mA) target for LED ripple current. To select the proper output capacitor the equation from Buck Regulators with Output Capacitors is rearranged to yield the following: ZC = 'iF 'iL - 'iF x rD (72) The dynamic resistance, rD,of one LED can be calculated by taking the tangent line to the VF vs. IF curve in the LED datasheet. shows an example rD calculation. AIF AVF Calculating rD from the VF vs. IF Curve Extending the tangent line to the ends of the plot yields values for VF and IF of 0.7V and 2000 mA, respectively. Dynamic resistance is then: rD = VF / IF = 0.5V / 2A = 0.25 (73) The most filtering (and therefore the highest output capacitance) is needed when IL is highest, which occurs at VIN-MAX. Inductor ripple current with one LED is 516 mAP-P. The required impedance of CO is calculated: ZC = [0.3 / (0.516 - 0.3] x 0.35 = 0.35 (74) A ceramic capacitor will be used and the required capacitance is selected based on the impedance at 440 kHz: CO = 1/(2 x x 0.49 x 4.4 x 105) = 1.03 F 26 Submit Documentation Feedback (75) Copyright (c) 2008-2014, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM3406 LM3406HV LM3406HV-Q1 LM3406, LM3406HV, LM3406HV-Q1 www.ti.com SNVS512E - SEPTEMBER 2008 - REVISED MARCH 2014 Design Example 2 (continued) This calculation assumes that CO will be a ceramic capacitor, and therefore impedance due to the equivalent series resistance (ESR) and equivalent series inductance (ESL) of of the device is negligible. The closest 10% tolerance capacitor value is 1.5 F. The capacitor used should have an X7R dielectric and should be rated to 50V. The high voltage rating ensures that CO will not be damaged if the LED fails open circuit and a load dump occurs. Several manufacturers produce ceramic capacitors with these specifications in the 1206 case size. With only 4V of DC bias a 50V rated ceramic capacitor will have better than 90% of it's rated capacitance, which is more than enough for this design. 8.4.4 RSNS Using the expression for RSNS: RSNS = 0.2 / IF RSNS = 0.2 / 1.5 = 0.133 (76) (77) Sub-1 resistors are available in both 1% and 5% tolerance. A 1%, 0.13 device is the closest value, and a 0.33W, 1210 size device will handle the power dissipation of 290 mW. With the resistance selected, the average value of LED current is re-calculated to ensure that current is within the 5% tolerance requirement. From the expression for average LED current: IF = 0.2 / 0.13 = 1.54A, 3% above the target current (78) 8.4.5 INPUT CAPACITOR Controlling input ripple current and voltage is critical in automotive applications where stringent conducted electromagnetic interference tests are required. vIN(MAX) will be limited to 300 mVP-P or less. The minimum required capacitance is calculated for the largest tON, 1090 ns, which occurs at the minimum input voltage. Using the equations from the Input Capacitors section: CIN(MIN) = (1.5 x 1.09 x 10-6) / 0.3 = 5.5 F (79) As with the output capacitor, this required value is low enough to use a ceramic capacitor, and again the effective capacitance will be lower than the rated value with 16V across CIN. Reviewing plots of %C vs. DC Bias for several capacitors reveals that a 3.3 F, 1210-size capacitor in X7R rated to 50V loses about 22% of its rated capacitance at 16V, hence two such caps are needed. Input rms current is high in buck regulators, and the worst-case is when the duty cycle is 50%. Duty cycle in a buck regulator can be estimated as D = VO / VIN, and when VIN drops to 9V the duty cycle will be nearly 50%. IIN-RMS = 1.5 x Sqrt(0.5 x 0.5) = 750 mA (80) Ripple current ratings for 1210 size ceramic capacitors are typically higher than 2A, so two of them in parallel can tolerate more than enough for this design. 8.4.6 RECIRCULATING DIODE To survive an input voltage transient of 40V the Schottky diode must be rated to a higher voltage. The next highest standard voltage rating is 60V. Selecting a 60V rated diode provides a large safety margin for the ringing of the switch node and also makes cross-referencing of diodes from different vendors easier. The next parameters to be determined are the forward current rating and case size. The lower the duty cycle the more thermal stress is placed on the recirculating diode. When driving one LED the duty cycle can be estimated as: D = 4.1 / 13.8 = 0.3 (81) The estimated average diode current is then: ID = (1 - 0.3) x 1.54 = 1.1A (82) A 2A-rated diode will be used. To determine the proper case size, the dissipation and temperature rise in D1 can be calculated as shown in the Design Considerations section. VD for a case size such as SMB in a 60V, 2A Schottky diode at 1.5A is approximately 0.4V and the JA is 75C/W. Power dissipation and temperature rise can be calculated as: PD = 1.1 x 0.4 = 440 mW TRISE = 0.44 x 75 = 33C Copyright (c) 2008-2014, Texas Instruments Incorporated (83) Submit Documentation Feedback Product Folder Links: LM3406 LM3406HV LM3406HV-Q1 27 LM3406, LM3406HV, LM3406HV-Q1 SNVS512E - SEPTEMBER 2008 - REVISED MARCH 2014 www.ti.com Design Example 2 (continued) 8.4.7 CB, CC AND CF The bootstrap capacitor CB should always be a 22 nF ceramic capacitors with X7R dielectric. A 25V rating is appropriate for all application circuits. The COMP pin capacitor CC and the linear regulator filter capacitor CF should always be 100 nF ceramic capacitors, also with X7R dielectric and a 25V ratings. 8.4.8 EFFICIENCY To estimate the electrical efficiency of this example the power dissipation in each current carrying element can be calculated and summed. One calculation will be detailed for the nominal input voltage of 13.8V, and these calculations can be repeated for other numbers of LEDs. Total output power, PO, is calculated as: PO = IF x VO = 1.54 x 4.1 = 6.3W (84) Conduction loss, PC, in the internal MOSFET: PC = (IF2 x RDSON) x D = (1.542 x 0.75) x 0.3 = 530 mW (85) Gate charging and VCC loss, PG, in the gate drive and linear regulator: PG = (IIN-OP + fSW x QG) x VIN PG = (600 x 10-6 + 4.5 x 105 x 9 x 10-9) x 13.8 = 64 mW (86) Switching loss, PS, in the internal MOSFET: PS = 0.5 x VIN x IF x (tR + tF) x fSW PS = 0.5 x 13.8 x 1.54 x 40 x 10-9 x 4.5 x 105 = 190 mW (87) AC rms current loss, PCIN, in the input capacitor: PCIN = IIN(rms)2 x ESR = 0.752 0.003 = 2 mW (negligible) (88) DCR loss, PL, in the inductor PL = IF2 x DCR = 1.542 x 0.05 = 120 mW (89) Recirculating diode loss, PD = (1 - 0.3) x 1.54 x 0.4 = 430 mW Current Sense Resistor Loss, PSNS = 293 mW Electrical efficiency, = PO / (PO + Sum of all loss terms) = 6.3 / (6.3 + 1.6) = 80% Temperature Rise in the LM3406 IC is calculated as: TLM3406 = (PC + PG + PS) x JA = (0.53 + 0.06 + 0.19) x 50 = 39C (90) 8.5 Thermal Considerations During Input Transients The error amplifier of the LM3406 ensures that average LED current is controlled even at the transient loaddump voltage of 40V, leaving thermal considerations as a primary design consideration during high voltage transients. A review of the operating conditions at an input of 40V is still useful to make sure that the LM3406 die temperature is not exceeded. Switching frequency drops to 325 kHz, the on-time drops to 350 ns, and the duty cycle drops to 0.12. Repeating the calculations for conduction, gate charging and switching loss leads to a total internal loss of 731 mW, and hence a die temperature rise of 37C. The LM3406 should operate properly even if the ambient temperature is as high a 85C. 8.6 Layout Considerations The performance of any switching converter depends as much upon the layout of the PCB as the component selection. The following guidelines will help the user design a circuit with maximum rejection of outside EMI and minimum generation of unwanted EMI. 8.6.1 COMPACT LAYOUT Parasitic inductance can be reduced by keeping the power path components close together and keeping the area of the loops that high currents travel small. Short, thick traces or copper pours (shapes) are best. In particular, the switch node (where L1, D1, and the SW pin connect) should be just large enough to connect all three components without excessive heating from the current it carries. The LM3406 family operates in two distinct cycles whose high current paths are shown in : 28 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright (c) 2008-2014, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM3406 LM3406HV LM3406HV-Q1 LM3406, LM3406HV, LM3406HV-Q1 www.ti.com SNVS512E - SEPTEMBER 2008 - REVISED MARCH 2014 Layout Considerations (continued) + - Buck Converter Current Loops The dark grey, inner loop represents the high current path during the MOSFET on-time. The light grey, outer loop represents the high current path during the off-time. 8.6.2 GROUND PLANE AND SHAPE ROUTING The diagram of is also useful for analyzing the flow of continuous current vs. the flow of pulsating currents. The circuit paths with current flow during both the on-time and off-time are considered to be continuous current, while those that carry current during the on-time or off-time only are pulsating currents. Preference in routing should be given to the pulsating current paths, as these are the portions of the circuit most likely to emit EMI. The ground plane of a PCB is a conductor and return path, and it is susceptible to noise injection just as any other circuit path. The continuous current paths on the ground net can be routed on the system ground plane with less risk of injecting noise into other circuits. The path between the input source and the input capacitor and the path between the recirculating diode and the LEDs/current sense resistor are examples of continuous current paths. In contrast, the path between the recirculating diode and the input capacitor carries a large pulsating current. This path should be routed with a short, thick shape, preferably on the component side of the PCB. Do not place any vias near the anode of Schottky diode. Instead, multiple vias in parallel should be used right at the pad of the input capacitor to connect the component side shapes to the ground plane. A second pulsating current loop that is often ignored is the gate drive loop formed by the SW and BOOT pins and capacitor CB. To minimize this loop and the EMI it generates, keep CB close to the SW and BOOT pins. 8.6.3 CURRENT SENSING The CS pin is a high-impedance input, and the loop created by RSNS, RZ (if used), the CS pin and ground should be made as small as possible to maximize noise rejection. RSNS should therefore be placed as close as possible to the CS and GND pins of the IC. 8.6.4 REMOTE LED ARRAYS In some applications the LED or LED array can be far away (several inches or more) from the LM3406 family, or on a separate PCB connected by a wiring harness. When an output capacitor is used and the LED array is large or separated from the rest of the converter, the output capacitor should be placed close to the LEDs to reduce the effects of parasitic inductance on the AC impedance of the capacitor. The current sense resistor should remain on the same PCB, close to the LM3406 family. Remote LED arrays and high speed dimming with a parallel FET must be treated with special care. The parallel dimming FET should be placed on the same board and/or heatsink as the LEDs to minimize the loop area between them, as the switching of output current by the parallel FET produces a pulsating current just like the switching action of the LM3406's internal power FET and the Schottky diode. shows the path that the inductor current takes through the LED or through the dimming FET. To minimize the EMI from parallel FET dimming the parasitic inductance of the loop formed by the LED and the dimming FET (where only the dark grey arrows appear) should be reduced as much as possible. Parasitic inductance of a loop is mostly controlled by the loop area, hence making this loop as physically small (short) as possible will reduce the inductance.
