HV9980
3-Channel LED Array Driver IC
illumination. The output currents are programmed by
controlling peak source current in each of the three internal
200V, 25Ω switching MOSFETs.
Features
► Integrated 200V, 25Ω (typ.) MOSFETs
► Programmable output current to 80mA per channel
► TTL compatible PWM dimming inputs
► 3-Phase synchronous operation
► Leading edge blanking
Thepeak currentisdetected bymonitoring voltage atexternal
sense resistors connected to RSENSE1-3. The switching
MOSFET is turned off when the corresponding current sense
signal exceeds the reference voltage applied at REF1-3 (in
the case of normal output signal polarity). Beginning of the
next switching cycle is determined by the external clock
signal received at the CLK input. All three channels operate
at a switching frequency of 1/6 of the external clock frequency
and positioned 120º out-of-phase for the purpose of input and
output ripple current reduction. Each channel is protected
from an output short circuit condition. When an over-current
condition is detected in the output switch (RSENSE1-3),
the corresponding channel shuts down for 200us. HV9980
recovers automatically, when the short circuit condition is
removed. Each current sense input (CS1-CS3) is equipped
with a leading edge blanking delay to prevent false triggering
of the current sense comparators due to circuit parasitics.
► Short circuit protection with skip mode
► Over-temperature protection
Applications
► LCD panel backlighting
► DLP RPTV or projector LED engine driver
► RGB decorative lighting
► General LED lighting
General Description
The HV9980 is a fully integrated 3-channel peak-current
PWM controller for driving buck converters in constant output
current mode. It is optimized for use with a large array of
20~80mA LED strings, where multiple HV9980 ICs are used
sharing a common clock and a common reference voltage.
Over-temperature protection is included to prevent
destructive failures due to over-heating. Programmable
slope compensation is available at each CS input.AGND and
PGND1-3 must be tied together on the printed circuit board.
VDD1-3 must be also connected together on the PCB.
Both the clock and the voltage reference are external to the
HV9980 for improved output current accuracy and uniform
