HV9985
Three-Channel, Closed-Loop,
Switch Mode LED Driver IC
General Description
Features
The HV9985 is a three-channel peak current mode PWM
controller for driving single switch converters in a constant
output current mode. It can be used for driving either RGB LEDs
or multiple channels of white LEDs.
► Switch mode controller for single-switch
converters
► Gate drivers optimized for driving Logic Level FETs
♦ 0.25A sourcing
♦ 0.5A sinking
The HV9985 features a 40V linear regulator, which provides a
5.0V supply to power the IC. The switching frequencies of the
three converters in the IC are controlled either with an external
clock signal (the channels operate at a switching frequency
of 1/12th of the external clock frequency) or using the internal
oscillator. The three channels are positioned 120° out-of-phase
to reduce the input current ripple. Each converter is driven by a
peak current mode controller with output current feedback.
► Typical ±2% absolute and string-to-string current
accuracy (with ±1% sense resistors)
► High PWM dimming ratio up to 5000:1
► 10-40V input range
► Constant frequency operation up to 1.0MHz
► On-chip clock or external clock option
► Programmable slope compensation
► Linear and PWM dimming
► Output short circuit protection
► Output over voltage protection
► Hiccup mode protection
The three output currents can be individually dimmed using
either linear or PWM dimming. The IC also includes three
disconnect FET drivers which enable high PWM dimming ratios
and also helps to disconnect the input in case of an output short
circuit condition. The HV9985 includes hiccup mode protection
for both open LED and short circuit condition to prevent the IC
from shutting down in the case of intermittent faults.
Applications
► RGB backlight applications
► Boost, buck & SEPIC topologies
► Multiple string white LED driver applications
