HV9980
3-Channel LED Array Driver IC
Features
General Description
• Integrated 200V, 25Ω (Typical) MOSFETs
• Programmable Output Current of up to 80 mA per
Channel
• TTL-Compatible PWM Dimming Inputs
• Three-Phase Synchronous Operation
• Leading Edge Blanking
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 mA to 80 mA LED strings, where multiple
HV9980 ICs are used, sharing a common clock and a
common reference voltage.
Both the clock and the voltage reference are external to
the HV9980 for improved output current accuracy and
uniform illumination. The output currents are programmed
by controlling peak source current in each of the three
internal 200V, 25Ω switching MOSFETs.
• Individual Channel Short-Circuit Protection with Skip
Mode
• Overtemperature Protection
Applications
The peak current is detected by monitoring voltage at
external 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). The 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
Overcurrent condition is detected in the output switch
(RSENSE1-3), the corresponding channel shuts down for
200 µs. The HV9980 recovers automatically, when the
Short-circuit Overcurrent 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.
• LCD Panel Backlighting
• DLP RPTV or Projector LED Engine Driver
• RGB Decorative Lighting
• General LED Lighting
Overtemperature protection is included to prevent
destructive failures due to overheating. Programmable
slope compensation is available at each CS input. AGND
and PGND1-3 must be tied together on the printed circuit
board (PCB). VDD1-3 must be also connected together on
the PCB.
