Device Description
The device, in conjunction with the coil (L1) and current sense resistor (RS), forms a self-oscillating continuous-mode buck converter.
Device operation (refer to Figure 1 - Block diagram and Figure 2 Operating waveforms)
Figure 2 Theoretical Operating Waveforms
Operation can be best understood by assuming that the ADJ pin of the device is unconnected and the voltage on this pin (VADJ) appears directly
at the (+) input of the comparator.
When input voltage VIN is first applied, the initial current in L1 and RS is zero and there is no output from the current sense circuit. Under this
condition, the (-) input to the comparator is at ground and its output is high. This turns MN on and switches the LX pin low, causing current to flow
SENSE
from VIN to ground, via RS, L1 and the LED(s). The current rises at a rate determined by VIN and L1 to produce a voltage ramp (V ) across
RS. The supply referred voltage VSENSE is forced across internal resistor R1 by the current sense circuit and produces a proportional current in
internal resistors R2 and R3. This produces a ground referred rising voltage at the (-) input of the comparator. When this reaches the threshold
voltage (VADJ), the comparator output switches low and MN turns off. The comparator output also drives another NMOS switch, which bypasses
internal resistor R3 to provide a controlled amount of hysteresis. The hysteresis is set by R3 to be nominally 10% of VADJ.
When MN is off, the current in L1 continues to flow via D1 and the LED(s) back to VIN. The current decays at a rate determined by the LED(s)
and diode forward voltages to produce a falling voltage at the input of the comparator. When this voltage returns to VADJ, the comparator output
switches high again. This cycle of events repeats, with the comparator input ramping between limits of VADJ ± 10%.

Device Description (cont.)

Switching Thresholds
With VADJ = VREF, the ratios of R1, R2 and R3 define an average VSENSE switching threshold of 100mV (measured on the ISENSE pin with respect
to VIN). The average output current IOUTnom is then defined by this voltage and RS according to:
IOUTnom = 100mV/RS
Nominal ripple current is ±10mV/RS
Adjusting output current

The device contains a low pass filter between the ADJ pin and the threshold comparator and an internal current limiting resistor (50kΩ nom)
between ADJ and the internal reference voltage. This allows the ADJ pin to be overdriven with either
DC or pulse signals to change the VSENSE switching threshold and adjust the output current.
Details of the different modes of adjusting output current are given in the applications section.
Output Shutdown
The output of the low pass filter drives the shutdown circuit. When the input voltage to this circuit falls below the threshold (0.2V nom.), the
internal regulator and the output switch are turned off. The voltage reference remains powered during shutdown to provide the bias current for
the shutdown circuit. Quiescent supply current during shutdown is nominally 60μA and switch leakage is below 5μA.

Application Information
Setting Nominal Average Output Current with External Resistor RS
The nominal average output current in the LED(s) is determined by the value of the external current sense resistor (RS) connected between VIN
and ISENSE and is given by:
IOUTnom = 0.1/RS [for RS > 0.1Ω]
The table below gives values of nominal average output current for several preferred values of current setting resistor (RS) in the typical
application circuit shown on page 1:
Nominal Average
RS (Ω) Output Current
(mA)
0.1 1000
0.13 760
0.15 667
The above values assume that the ADJ pin is floating and at a nominal voltage of VREF (= 1.25V). Note that RS = 0.1Ω is the minimum allowed
value of sense resistor under these conditions to maintain switch current below the specified maximum value.
It is possible to use different values of RS if the ADJ pin is driven from an external voltage. (See next section).
Output Current Adjustment by External DC Control Voltage

The ADJ pin can be driven by an external dc voltage (VADJ), as shown, to adjust the output current to a value above or below the nominal
average value defined by RS.

+
ADJ ZXLD1362
GND
DC
GND
The nominal average output current in this case is given by:
IOUTdc = (VADJ /1.25) x (100mV/RS) [for 0.3< VADJ <2.5V]
Note that 100% brightness setting corresponds to VADJ = VREF. When driving the ADJ pin above 1.25V, RS must be increased in proportion to
prevent IOUTdc exceeding 1A maximum.
The input impedance of the ADJ pin is 50kΩ ±25% for voltages below VREF and 14.2kΩ ±25% for voltages above VREF +100mV.
Output Current Adjustment by PWM Control
Directly driving ADJ input

A Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) signal with duty cycle DPWM can be applied to the ADJ pin, as shown below, to adjust the output current to a
value above or below the nominal average value set by resistor RS:

Application Information (cont.)

Driving the ADJ Input via Open Collector Transistor
The recommended method of driving the ADJ pin and controlling the amplitude of the PWM waveform is to use a small NPN switching transistor
as shown below:
ADJ ZXLD1362
PWM
GND
GND
This scheme uses the 50k resistor between the ADJ pin and the internal voltage reference as a pull-up resistor for the external transistor.
Driving the ADJ Input from a Microcontroller

Another possibility is to drive the device from the open drain output of a microcontroller. The diagram below shows one method of doing this:
MCU
3.3k
ADJ ZXLD1362
GND
If the NMOS transistor within the microcontroller has high Gate / Drain capacitance, this arrangement can inject a negative spike into ADJ input
of the 1362 and cause erratic operation but the addition of a Schottky clamp diode (cathode to ADJ) to ground and inclusion of a series resistor
(3.3k) will prevent this. See the section on PWM dimming for more details of the various modes of control using high frequency and low
frequency PWM signals.
Shutdown Mode
Taking the ADJ pin to a voltage below 0.2V for more than approximately 100µs will turn off the output and supply current to a low standby level
of 20µA nominal.
Note that the ADJ pin is not a logic input. Taking the ADJ pin to a voltage above VREF will increase output current above the 100% nominal
average value. (See page 18 graphs for details).
Soft-Start
An external capacitor from the ADJ pin to ground will provide a soft-start delay, by increasing the time taken for the voltage on this pin to rise to
the turn-on threshold and by slowing down the rate of rise of the control voltage at the input of the comparator. Adding capacitance increases
this delay by approximately 200µs/nF. The graph below shows the variation of soft-start time for different values of capacitor.

VIN Capacitor Selection

A low ESR capacitor should be used for input decoupling, as the ESR of this capacitor appears in series with the supply source impedance and
lowers overall efficiency. This capacitor has to supply the relatively high peak current to the coil and smooth the current ripple on the input
supply.
To avoid transients into the IC, the size of the input capacitor will depend on the VIN voltage:
VIN = 6 to 40V CIN = 2.2μF
VIN = 40 to 50V CIN = 4.7μF
VIN = 50 to 60V CIN = 10μF
When the input voltage is approaches the output voltage the input current will increase putting more demand on the input capacitor. The
minimum value of 2.2μF may need to be increased to 4.7μF; higher values will improve performance at lower input voltages, especially when the
source impedance is high. The input capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the IC.
For maximum stability over temperature and voltage, capacitors with X7R, X5R, or better dielectric is recommended. Capacitors with Y5V
dielectric are not suitable for decoupling in this application and should NOT be used.
If higher voltages are used and the CIN is 10μF. This can be an electrolytic capacitor provided a suitable 1µF ceramic capacitor is also used and
positioned as close the VIN of the IC as possible.
A suitable capacitor would be NACEW100M1006.3x8TR13F.

Inductor Selection
Recommended inductor values for the ZXLD1362 are in the range 68μH to 220μH.
Higher values of inductance are recommended at higher supply voltages in order to minimize errors due to switching delays, which result in
increased ripple and lower efficiency. Higher values of inductance also result in a smaller change in output current over the supply voltage range.
(see graphs pages 10 - 17). The inductor should be mounted as close to the device as possible with low resistance connections to the LX and
VIN pins.
The chosen coil should have a saturation current higher than the peak output current and a continuous current rating above the required mean
output current.
Suitable coils for use with the ZXLD1362 may be selected from the MSS range manufactured by Coilcraft, or the NPIS range manufactured by
NIC components. The following websites may be useful in finding suitable components.

The inductor value should be chosen to maintain operating duty cycle and switch 'on'/'off' times within the specified limits over the supply voltage
and load current range.

Diode Selection
For maximum efficiency and performance, the rectifier (D1) should be a fast low capacitance Schottky diode* with low reverse leakage at the
maximum operating voltage and temperature.
They also provide better efficiency than silicon diodes, due to a combination of lower forward voltage and reduced recovery time.
It is important to select parts with a peak current rating above the peak coil current and a continuous current rating higher than the maximum
output load current. It is very important to consider the reverse leakage of the diode when operating above +85°C. Excess leakage will increase
the power dissipation in the device and if close to the load may create a thermal runaway condition.
The higher forward voltage and overshoot due to reverse recovery time in silicon diodes will increase the peak voltage on the LX output. If a
silicon diode is used, care should be taken to ensure that the total voltage appearing on the LX pin including supply ripple, does not exceed the
specified maximum value.
*A suitable Schottky diode would be PDS3100.

Reducing Output Ripple

Peak to peak ripple current in the LED(s) can be reduced, if required, by shunting a capacitor Cled across the LED(s) as shown below:
V
IN Rs
LED Cled
L1
D1
VIN ISE NSE LX
ZXLD1362
A value of 1μF will reduce the supply ripple current by a factor three (approx.). Proportionally lower ripple can be achieved with higher capacitor
values. Note that the capacitor will not affect operating frequency or efficiency, but it will increase start-up delay, by reducing the rate of rise of
LED voltage.
By adding this capacitor the current waveform through the LED(s) changes from a triangular ramp to a more sinusoidal version without altering
the mean current value.
Operation at Low Supply Voltage

Below the under-voltage lockout threshold (VSD) the drive to the output transistor is turned off to prevent device operation with excessive on-
resistance of the output transistor. The output transistor is not full enhanced until the supply voltage exceeds approximately 17V. At supply
voltages between VSD and 17V care must be taken to avoid excessive power dissipation due to the on-resistance.
If the supply voltage is always less than 30V continuous an alternative device is available, the ZXLD1360 or the AL8805.
Note that when driving loads of two or more LEDs, the forward drop will normally be sufficient to prevent the device from switching below
approximately 6V. This will minimize the risk of damage to the device.

Maximum Power Dissipation
Note that the device power dissipation will most often be a maximum at minimum supply voltage. It will also increase if the efficiency of the circuit
is low. This may result from the use of unsuitable coils, or excessive parasitic output capacitance on the switch output.
Thermal Compensation of Output Current

High luminance LEDs often need to be supplied with a temperature compensated current in order to maintain stable and reliable operation at all
drive levels. The LEDs are usually mounted remotely from the device so, for this reason, the temperature coefficients of the internal circuits for
the ZXLD1362 have been optimized to minimize the change in output current when no compensation is employed. If output current
compensation is required, it is possible to use an external temperature sensing network - normally using Negative Temperature Coefficient
(NTC) thermistors and/or diodes, mounted very close to the LED(s). The output of the sensing network can be used to drive the ADJ pin in order
to reduce output current with increasing temperature.
Layout Considerations
LX Pin
The LX pin of the device is a fast switching node, so PCB tracks should be kept as short as possible. To minimize ground 'bounce', the ground
pin of the device should be soldered directly to the ground plane.
Coil and Decoupling Capacitors and Current Sense Resistor

It is particularly important to mount the coil and the input decoupling capacitor as close to the device pins as possible to minimize parasitic
resistance and inductance, which will degrade efficiency. It is also important to minimize any track resistance in series with current sense resistor
RS. Its best to connect VIN directly to one end of RS and ISENSE directly to the opposite end of RS with no other currents flowing in these tracks. It
is important that the cathode current of the Schottky diode does not flow in a track between RS and VIN as this may give an apparent higher
measure of current than is actual because of track resistance.

ADJ Pin
The ADJ pin is a high impedance input for voltages up to 1.35V so, when left floating, PCB tracks to this pin should be as short as possible to
reduce noise pickup. A 100nF capacitor from the ADJ pin to ground will reduce frequency modulation of the output under these conditions. An
additional series 3.3kΩ resistor can also be used when driving the ADJ pin from an external circuit (see below). This resistor will provide filtering
for low frequency noise and provide protection against high voltage transients.

ADJ ZXLD1362
GND

High Voltage Tracks

Avoid running any high voltage tracks close to the ADJ pin, to reduce the risk of leakage currents due to board contamination. The ADJ pin is
soft-clamped for voltages above 1.35V to desensitize it to leakage that might raise the ADJ pin voltage and cause excessive output current.
However, a ground ring placed around the ADJ pin is recommended to minimize changes in output current under these conditions.
Evaluation PCB
ZXLD1362 evaluation boards are available on request and provide quick testing of the ZXLD1362 device.
Dimming Output Current Using PWM

Low Frequency PWM Mode
When the ADJ pin is driven with a low frequency PWM signal (eg 100Hz), with a high level voltage VADJ and a low level of zero, the output of the
internal low pass filter will swing between 0V and VADJ, causing the input to the shutdown circuit to fall below its turn-off threshold (200mV nom)
when the ADJ pin is low. This will cause the output current to be switched on and off at the PWM frequency, resulting in an average output
current IOUTavg proportional to the PWM duty cycle.
(See Figure 4 - Low frequency PWM operating waveforms).
Figure 4 Low Frequency PWM Operating Waveforms
The average value of output current in this mode is given by:
IOUTavg = 0.1DPWM/RS [for DPWM >0.001]
This mode is preferable if optimum LED 'whiteness' is required. It will also provide the widest possible dimming range (approx. 1000:1) and
higher efficiency at the expense of greater output ripple.
