PFET Buck Controller for High Power LED Drivers

The LM3409/09HV are P-channel MosFET (PFET) controllers for step-down (buck) current regulators. They offer wide input voltage range, high-side differential current sense
with low adjustable threshold voltage, fast output enable/disable function and a thermally enhanced eMSOP-10 package.

These features combine to make the LM3409/09HV ideal for use as constant current sources for driving LEDs where forward currents up to 5A are easily achievable.

The LM3409/09Q/09HV/09QHV uses Constant Off-Time (COFT) control to regulate an accurate constant current without the need for external control loop compensation. Analog and PWM dimming are easy to implement and result in a highly linear dimming range with excellent achievable contrast ratios.

Programmable UVLO, low-power shutdown, and thermal shutdown complete the feature set.

LM3409HV评估板

This evaluation board showcases the LM3409HV PFET controller for a buck current regulator. It is designed to drive 12 LEDs (VO = 42V) at a maximum average LED current (ILED = 1.5A) from a DC input voltage (VIN = 48V). The switching frequency (fSW = 400 kHz) is targeted for the nominal operating point, however fSW varies across the entire operating range.

The circuit can accept an input voltage of 6V-75V. However, if the input voltage drops below the regulated LED string voltage, the converter goes into dropout and VO = VIN ideally. The PCB is made using 4 layers of 2 oz. copper with FR4 dieletric. The evaluation board showcases all features of the LM3409HV including analog dimming using the IADJ pin and internal PWM dimming using the EN pin. High frequency external parallel FET shunt PWM dimming can also be evaluated.

The board has a header (J1) with a removable jumper, which is used to select the PWM dimming method. The evaluation board has a right angle connector (J2) which can mate with an external LED load board allowing for the LEDs to be mounted close to the driver. This reduces potential ringing when there is no output capacitor. Alternatively, the LED+ and LED- turrets can be used to connect the LED load.

This board can be easily modified to demonstrate other operating points as shown in the Alternate Designs section. The LM3409/09HV datasheet Design Procedure can be used to design for any set of specifications.

Since the board contains a buck regulator designed for 48V input, the efficiency is very high at input voltages near or less than 48V. The switching frequency increases as input voltage increases, yielding lower efficiency at higher input voltages.

Note that increasing the off-time resistor (R6) will increase the efficiency at high input voltage.
