Programmable Switch-Mode LED Driver  
with Analog-Controlled PWM Dimming  
MAX816  
General Description  
Features  
o EEPROM-Programmable LED Current Binning  
The MAX16816 is a current-mode, high-brightness LED  
(HB LED) driver designed to control two external  
n-channel MOSFETs for single-string LED current regu-  
lation. The MAX16816 integrates all the building blocks  
necessary to implement fixed-frequency HB LED dri-  
vers with wide-range dimming control and EEPROM-  
programmable LED current binning with a factor of up  
to 1.6. This device is configurable to operate as a step-  
down (buck), step-up (boost), or step-up/step-down  
(buck-boost) current regulator.  
o Wide Input Range: 5.9V to 76V with Cold Start  
Operation to 5.4V  
o Integrated Floating Differential LED Current-  
Sense Amplifier  
o Floating Dimming Driver Capable of Driving an  
n-Channel MOSFET  
o 5% or Better LED Current Accuracy  
o Multiple Topologies: Buck, Boost, Buck-Boost,  
SEPIC  
Current-mode control with adjustable leading-edge  
blanking simplifies control-loop design. Adjustable slope  
compensation stabilizes the current loop when operating  
at duty cycles above 50%. The MAX16816 operates over  
a wide input voltage range and is capable of withstand-  
ing automotive load-dump events. Multiple MAX16816  
devices can be synchronized to each other or to an  
external clock. The MAX16816 includes a floating  
dimming driver for brightness control with an external  
n-channel MOSFET in series with the LED string.  
o Resistor-Programmable Switching Frequency  
(125kHz to 500kHz) and Synchronization  
Capability  
o 200Hz On-Board Ramp Allows Analog-Controlled  
PWM Dimming and External PWM Dimming  
o Output Overvoltage, Overcurrent, and LED Short  
Protection  
o Enable/Shutdown Input with Shutdown Current  
Below 45µA  
HB LEDs using the MAX16816 can achieve efficiencies  
of over 90% in automotive applications. The MAX16816  
also includes a 1.4A source and 2A sink gate driver for  
driving switching MOSFETs in high-power LED driver  
applications, such as front light assemblies. Dimming  
control allows for wide PWM dimming range at frequen-  
cies up to 5kHz. Higher dimming ratios (up to 1000:1)  
are achievable at lower dimming frequencies.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS  
Note 1: Dropout voltage is defined as the input to output differential voltage at which the output voltage drops 100mV below its nom-  
inal value measured at output.  
Note 2: V  
determines the voltage necessary to operate the current-sense amplifier. The DIM driver requires 2.5V for (V  
CLMP_TH  
CLMP  
- V ) to drive a FET. V is typically one diode drop above V  
. A large capacitor connected to V  
slows the  
CLMP  
LO  
HI  
CLMP  
response of the LED current-sense circuitry, resulting in current overshoot. To ensure proper operation, connect a 0.1µF  
capacitor from CLMP to LO.  
Note 3: Minimum pulse width required to guarantee proper dimming operation.  
Note 4: FAULT multiplexes a programming interface and fault indication functionality. At power-up initialization, an internal timer  
enables FAULT and two programming passcodes must be entered within the programming slot to enter programming  
mode. If the programming passcodes are not received correctly within the programming slot, FAULT goes back towards  
fault indication. Cycling power to the device is required to re-attempt entry into programming mode.  
Note 5: Not production tested. Guaranteed by design.  
Note 6: Recovery time is the time required for FAULT to be pulled high by the internal 10kΩ resistor.

one current regulation loop controls the external switch-

conditions in the LED string. During continuous opera-  
tion at high input voltages, the power dissipation of the  
MAX16816 could exceed the maximum rating and the  
internal thermal shutdown circuitry safely turns off the  
MAX16816 when the device junction temperature  
exceeds +165°C. When the junction temperature drops  
below the hysteresis temperature, the MAX16816 auto-  
matically reinitiates startup.

Undervoltage Lockout/Enable (UVEN)

The MAX16816 provides LED binning through one pro-  
grammable on-chip nonvolatile EEPROM. The LED cur-  
rent can be scaled up to a factor of 1.6. This feature is  
used to offset factory LED luminance variations and  
allows the system to achieve overall luminance accuracy.

The dimming input, DIM, functions with either analog or

synchronizes to the external signal and pulse-width

Do not use CLMP to power external circuitry. Bypass  
CLMP to LO with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor. A larger

Internal Voltage-Error Amplifier (EAMP)  
The MAX16816 includes a built-in voltage amplifier,  
with three-state output, which can be used to close the  
feedback loop. The buffered output current-sense sig-  
nal appears at CS, which is connected to the inverting  
input, FB, of the error amplifier through resistor R . The  
1
noninverting input is connected to an internally trimmed  
current reference.  
When the voltage drop across R exceeds the  
SENSE  
ILIM threshold, the MOSFET driver (DRV) terminates  
the on-cycle and turns the switch off, reducing the cur-  
rent through the inductor. The FET is turned back on at  
the beginning of the next switching cycle.  
When the voltage across R  
exceeds the 300mV  
SENSE  
(typ) HICCUP threshold, the HIC comparator terminates  
the on-cycle of the device, turning the switching MOS-  
FET off. Following a startup delay of 8ms (typ), the  
MAX16816 reinitiates soft-start. The device will continue  
to operate in HICCUP mode until the overcurrent condi-  
tion is removed.  
MAX816  
The output of the error amplifier is controlled by the signal  
applied to DIM. When DIM is high, the output of the ampli-  
fier is connected to COMP. The amplifier output is open  
when DIM is low. This enables the integrating capacitor to  
hold the charge when the DIM signal has turned off the  
gate drive. When DIM is high again, the voltage on the

from 75ns to 150ns by configuring the Blanking Time  
register in the EEPROM. In some cases, the maximum  
blanking time may not be adequate and an additional  
RC filter may be required to prevent spurious turn-off.  
PWM dimming is achieved by driving DIM with either a  
PWM signal or a DC signal. The PWM signal is con-  
nected internally to the error amplifier, the dimming  
MOSFET gate driver, and the switching MOSFET gate  
driver. When the DIM signal is high, the dimming MOSFET  
and the switching MOSFET drivers are enabled and the  
output of the voltage-error amplifier is connected to  
the external compensation network. Also, the buffered  
current-sense signal is connected to CS. Preventing  
discharge of the compensation capacitor when the  
DIM signal is low allows the control loop to return the  
LED current to its original value almost instantaneously.  
Load Current Sense  
The load sense resistor, R , monitors the current  
CS  
through the LEDs. The internal floating current-sense  
amplifier, CSA, measures the differential voltage across  
R
, and generates a voltage proportional to the load  
CS  
current through R  
at CS. This voltage on CS is  
CS  
referred to AGND. The closed-loop regulates the load  
current to a value, I  
, given by the following equation:

switching MOSFETs are disabled, and the converter  
stops switching. The inductor energy is now transferred  
to the output capacitors.  
Slope Compensation  
The amount of slope compensation required is largely  
dependent on the down-slope of the inductor current  
When the DIM signal goes high and the gate drivers  
are enabled, the additional voltage on the output  
capacitor may cause a current spike on the LED string.  
A larger output capacitor will result in a smaller current  
spike. If the overcurrent spike exceeds 30% of the pro-  
grammed LED current, the dimming is turned off and  
the MAX16816 reinitiates soft-start.  
when the switching MOSFET, Q , is off. The inductor  
S
down-slope depends on the input-to-output voltage dif-  
ferential of the converter, the inductor value, and the  
switching frequency. For stability, the compensation  
slope should be equal to or greater than half of the  
inductor current down-slope multiplied by the current-  
sense resistance (R  
).

device. Under these conditions, FAULT will go low only  
when a fault (overvoltage, overcurrent, or HICCUP mode)  
occurs or when the supply voltage drops below the UVLO  
threshold.  
FAULT 1-Wire Interface  
The MAX16816 features a FAULT output multiplexed  
with a 1-Wire programming interface. Once the voltage  
at UVEN exceeds the UVLO threshold, the device is  
enabled and FAULT will pulse low once, indicating the  
beginning of the programming window. Two program-  
ming mode entry codes must be entered within 8ms  
after the pulse to enter programming mode (see Table  
1). The MAX16816 will register the second entry code  
only after the first code has been received. Once the  
MAX16816 successfully enters programming mode, the  
data and clock for the 1-Wire interface are supplied  
through FAULT.  
EEPROM and Programming  
Nonvolatile EEPROM is available to configure the  
MAX16816 through a 1-Wire serial interface. Registers  
are located in a linear address space as shown in  
Table 2. All other EEPROM locations are reserved.  
Configure the six control registers to adjust parameters  
including the REG2 voltage, soft-start durations, blank-  
ing time, LED load current (binning), slope compensa-  
tion, and to enable/disable the RTOF oscillator. See the  
1-Wire Interface section for more information about  
1-Wire programming.

is no longer accessible without cycling power to the

Fault Protection  
Applications Information  
The MAX16816 features built-in overvoltage protection,  
overcurrent protection, HICCUP mode current-limit pro-  
tection, and thermal shutdown. Overvoltage protection  
is achieved by connecting OV to HI through a resistive  
voltage-divider. HICCUP mode limits the power dissi-  
pation in the external MOSFETs during severe fault  
conditions. Internal thermal shutdown protection safely  
turns off the converter when the IC junction temperature  
exceeds +165°C.  
Inductor Selection  
The minimum required inductance is a function of oper-  
ating frequency, input-to-output voltage differential, and  
the peak-to-peak inductor current (ΔI ). Higher ΔI  
L
L
allows for a lower inductor value while a lower ΔI  
L
requires a higher inductor value. A lower inductor value  
minimizes size and cost, improves large-signal tran-  
sient response, but reduces efficiency due to higher  
peak currents and higher peak-to-peak output ripple  
voltage for the same output capacitor. On the other  
hand, higher inductance increases efficiency by reduc-  
MAX816  
Overvoltage Protection  
The overvoltage protection (OVP) comparator com-  
pares the voltage at OV with a 1.235V (typ) internal ref-  
erence. When the voltage at OV exceeds the internal  
reference, the OVP comparator terminates PWM  
switching and no further energy is transferred to the  
load. The MAX16816 reinitiates soft-start once the over-  
voltage condition is removed. Connect OV to HI  
through a resistive voltage-divider to set the overvolt-  
age threshold at the output.  
ing the ripple current, ΔI . However, resistive losses  
L
due to extra turns can exceed the benefit gained from  
lower ripple current levels, especially when the induc-  
tance is increased without also allowing for larger  
inductor dimensions. A good compromise is to choose  
ΔI equal to 30% of the full load current. The inductor

saturating current is also important to avoid runaway  
current during the output overload and continuous  
short circuit. Select the I

to be higher than the maxi-  
SAT  
Setting the Overvoltage Threshold  
Connect OV to HI or to the high-side of the LEDs  
through a resistive voltage-divider to set the overvolt-  
age threshold at the output (Figure 4). The overvoltage  
protection (OVP) comparator compares the voltage at  
OV with a 1.235V (typ) internal reference. Use the fol-  
lowing equation to calculate resistor values:  
Buck configuration: In a buck configuration the average  
inductor current does not vary with the input. The worst-  
case peak current occurs at high input voltage. In this

Load-Dump Protection  
The MAX16816 features load-dump protection up to 76V.  
LED drivers using the MAX16816 can sustain single fault  
load dump events. Repeated load dump events within  
very short time intervals can cause damage to the dim-  
ming MOSFET due to excess power dissipation.

Boost configuration: In the boost converter, the average  
inductor current varies with line and the maximum aver-  
age current occurs at low line. For the boost converter,  
the average inductor current is equal to the input cur-  
rent. In this case the inductance, L, is calculated as:

Input Capacitor  
An input capacitor connected between V and  
ground must be used when configuring the MAX16816  
as a buck converter. Use a low-ESR input capacitor  
that can handle the maximum input RMS ripple current.  
Calculate the maximum allowable RMS ripple using the  
following equation:

Output Capacitor  
The function of the output capacitor is to reduce the  
output ripple to acceptable levels. The ESR, ESL, and  
the bulk capacitance of the output capacitor contribute  
to the output ripple. In most of the applications, the out-  
put ESR and ESL effects can be dramatically reduced  
by using low-ESR ceramic capacitors. To reduce the  
ESL effects, connect multiple ceramic capacitors in  
parallel to achieve the required bulk capacitance.  
The MAX16816 can also be used in the absence of the  
dimming MOSFET. In this case, the PWM dimming per-  
formance is compromised but in applications that do  
not require dimming the MAX16816 can still be used. A  
short circuit across the load will cause the MAX16816  
to disable the gate drivers and they will remain off until  
the input power is recycled.  
Switching Power MOSFET Losses

total gate charge, power dissipation, the maximum  
drain-to-source voltage, and package thermal imped-  
ance. The product of the MOSFET gate charge and

Layout Recommendations  
Typically, there are two sources of noise emission in a  
switching power supply: high di/dt loops and high dv/dt  
surfaces. For example, traces that carry the drain cur-  
rent often form high di/dt loops. Similarly, the heatsink  
of the MOSFET connected to the device drain presents a  
high dv/dt source; therefore, minimize the surface area of  
the heatsink as much as possible. Keep all PCB traces  
carrying switching currents as short as possible to mini-  
mize current loops. Use ground planes for best results.

Careful PCB layout is critical to achieve low switching  
1-Wire Interface  
losses and clean, stable operation. Use a multilayer  
board whenever possible for better noise performance  
and power dissipation. Follow these guidelines for  
good PCB layout:  
EEPROM implementation uses a 1-Wire communica-  
tion method. A 1-Wire net-based system consists of  
three main elements: a bus master with controlling  
software, the wiring and associated connectors, and  
1-Wire devices. Data on the 1-Wire net is transferred  
with respect to time slots. For example, the master pulls  
the bus low and holds it for 15µs or less to write a logic  
‘1’, and holds the bus low for at least 60µs to write a  
logic ‘0’. During EEPROM programming the MAX16816  
is a 1-Wire slave device only. Data and clock signals  
are supplied through FAULT.  
Use a large copper plane under the MAX16816  
package. Ensure that all heat-dissipating compo-  
nents have adequate cooling. Connect the  
exposed pad of the device to the ground plane.  
Isolate the power components and high current  
MAX816  
paths from sensitive analog circuitry.  
Keep the high-current paths short, especially at the  
ground terminals. This practice is essential for sta-  
ble, jitter-free operation. Keep switching loops short.  
MAX16816 1-Wire Function Commands  
Table 10 shows the list of 1-Wire function commands  
for the MAX16816. Use these commands to start the  
programming mode, write to the on-chip EEPROM, and  
read EEPROM through the 1-Wire interface.  
Connect AGND, SGND, and QGND to a ground  
plane. Ensure a low-impedance connection  
between all ground points.  
PASS_CODE_ONE: The PASS_CODE_ONE sequence  
is the first code that the MAX16816 must receive from  
the master. PASS_CODE_ONE must be received within  
the initial 8ms programming window after startup.  
Keep the power traces and load connections  
short. This practice is essential for high efficiency.  
Use thick copper PCBs (2oz vs. 1oz) to enhance  
full-load efficiency.  
PASS_CODE_TWO: The PASS_CODE_TWO sequence  
is the second code that the MAX16816 must receive  
during the 8ms programming window. The MAX16816  
will start searching for PASS_CODE_TWO only after  
PASS_CODE_ONE has been received.  
Ensure that the feedback connection to FB is short  
and direct.  
Route high-speed switching nodes away from the  
sensitive analog areas.  
To prevent discharge of the compensation capaci-  
EXT_EEM_MODE: The EXT_EEM_MODE command

tors, C and C , during the off-time of the dimming

cycle, ensure that the PCB area close to these  
components has extremely low leakage.  
Discharge of these capacitors due to leakage may  
result in degraded dimming performance.

write all command for the MAX16816. When the device  
detects the SET_WRITE_EE command the write

Programming Sequences  
The µC (master) starts the communication with the  
MAX16816 by pulling UVEN high. The MAX16816 then  
does the handshaking with the µC by pulling FAULT low.  
Once the µC receives the handshaking signal, it begins  
the initialization sequences to reset the 1-Wire interface.  
The sequence consists of a reset pulse from the µC fol-  
lowed by a presence pulse from the MAX16816. At this  
point the µC must send PASS_CODE_ONE and  
PASS_CODE_TWO. These pass codes must be received  
by the MAX16816 within the 8ms programming slot to  
allow the MAX16816 to enter the EE programming mode.  
Initialization Procedure  
(Reset and Presence Pulses)  
All 1-Wire communication with the MAX16816 begins  
with an initialization sequence that consists of a Reset  
Pulse from the master followed by a Presence Pulse  
from the MAX16816 (Figure 6). When the MAX16816  
sends the Presence Pulse in response to the Reset  
Pulse, it is indicating to the master that it is ready to  
receive and transmit data.  
During the initialization sequence, the bus master trans-  
mits the reset pulse by pulling the 1-Wire bus low for a  
minimum of 480µs. The bus master then releases the  
bus and goes into receive mode. When the bus is  
released, the pullup resistor pulls the 1-Wire bus high.  
When the MAX16816 detects this rising edge, it waits  
15µs to 60µs and then transmits a Presence Pulse by  
pulling the 1-Wire bus low for 60µs to 240µs.  
MAX816  
1-Wire Signaling  
The MAX16816 requires strict protocols to ensure data  
integrity. The protocol consists of four types of signal-  
ing on one line: reset sequence with Reset Pulse and  
Presence Pulse, Write-Zero, Write-One, and Read-Data.  
Except for the Presence Pulse, the bus master initiates  
all falling edges.  
Read and Write Time Slots  
The bus master writes data to the MAX16816 during  
write time slots and reads data from the MAX16816  
during read time slots. One bit of data is transmitted  
over the 1-Wire bus per time slot.  
Externally pull FAULT below V to indicate a logic-input

Write Time Slots  
There are two types of write time slots: Write-1 time  
slots and Write-0 time slots. The bus master uses a  
Write-1 time slot to write a logic ‘1’ to the MAX16816  
and a Write-0 time slot to write a logic ‘0’. All write time  
slots must be a minimum of 60µs in duration with a min-  
imum of a 1µs recovery time between individual Write  
slots. Both types of write time slots are initiated by the  
master pulling the 1-Wire bus low (Figures 7 and 8).  
low. When the bus is released, the pullup resistor will  
pull the bus high. To generate a Write-0 time slot, the  
bus master must continue to hold the bus low for the  
duration of the time slot (at least 60µs) after pulling the  
1-Wire bus low. The MAX16816 samples the 1-Wire bus  
during a window that lasts from 15µs to 60µs after the  
master initiates the Write time slot. If the bus is high  
during the samples window, a ‘1’ is written to the  
MAX16816. If the line is low, a ‘0’ is written to the  
MAX16816.  
To generate a Write-1 time slot, the bus master must  
release the 1-Wire bus within 15µs after pulling the bus

on the bus. The MAX16816 transmits a ‘1’ by leaving  
the bus high and transmits a ‘0’ by pulling the bus low.  
When transmitting a ‘0’, the MAX16816 will release the  
bus before the end of the time slot, and the bus will be  
pulled back to its high idle state by the pullup resistor.  
Output data from the MAX16816 is valid for 15µs after the  
falling edge that initiated the read time slot. Therefore, the  
master must release the bus and then sample the bus  
state within 15µs from the start of the slot.  
All read time slots must be a minimum of 60µs in dura-  
tion with a minimum of a 1µs recovery time between  
slots. A read time slot is initiated by the master device  
pulling the 1-Wire bus low for a minimum of 1µs and  
then releasing it (Figure 9). After the master initiates the  
read time slot, the MAX16816 will transmit a ‘1’ or a ‘0’
