HV9911  
Switch-Mode LED Driver IC with High Current Accuracy  
Features  
General Description  
Switch mode controller for single switch drivers  
The HV9911 is a current mode control LED driver IC  
designed to control single switch PWM converters (buck,  
boost, buck-boost, or SEPIC), in a constant frequency or  
constant off-time mode. The controller uses a peak current  
control scheme, (with programmable slope compensation),  
and includes an internal transconductance amplifier to  
control the output current in closed loop, enabling high  
output current accuracy. In the constant frequency mode,  
multiple HV9911s can be synchronized to each other, or  
to an external clock, using the SYNC pin. Programmable  
MOSFET current limit enables current limiting during input  
under voltage and output overload conditions. The IC also  
includes a 0.2A source and 0.4A sink gate driver for high  
power applications. An internal 9 to 250V linear regulator  
powers the IC, eliminating the need for a separate power  
supply for the IC. HV9911 provides a TTL compatible, PWM  
dimming input that can accept an external control signal  
with a duty ratio of 0-100% and a frequency of up to a few  
kilohertz. The IC also provides a FAULT output which, can  
be used to disconnect the LEDs in case of a fault condition,  
using an external disconnect FET.

Pin  
Description  
1
VIN  
This pin is the input of a 250V high voltage regulator.  
This is a power supply pin for all internal circuits. It must be bypassed with a low ESR capacitor to  
GND (at least 0.1uF).  
2
VDD  
3
4
GATE  
GND  
This pin is the output gate driver for an external N-channel power MOSFET.  
Ground return for all circuits. This pin must be connected to the return path from the input.  
This pin is used to sense the drain current of the external power FET. It includes a built-in 100ns  
(min) blanking time.  
5
CS  
Slope compensation for current sense. A resistor between SC and GND will program the slope  
compensation. In case of constant off-time mode of operation, slope compensation is unnecessary  
and the pin can be left open.  
6
SC  
This pin sets the frequency or the off-time of the power circuit. A resistor between RT and GND will  
program the circuit in constant frequency mode. A resistor between RT and GATE will program the  
circuit in a constant off-time mode.  
7
RT  
This I/O pin may be connected to the SYNC pin of other HV9911 circuits and will cause the oscillators  
to lock to the highest frequency oscillator.  
This pin provides a programmable input current limit for the converter. The current limit can be set by  
using a resistor divider from the REF pin. Soft start can also be provided using this pin.  
8
9
SYNC  
CLIM  
This pin provides 2% accurate reference voltage. It must be bypassed with at least a 10nF - 0.22µF  
capacitor to GND.  
10  
REF  
This pin is pulled to ground when there is an output short circuit condition or output over voltage  
condition. This pin can be used to drive an external MOSFET in the case of boost converters to  
disconnect the load from the source.  
11  
12  
FAULT  
OVP  
This pin provides the over voltage protection for the converter. When the voltage at this pin exceeds  
1.25V, the gate output of the HV9911 is turned off and FAULT goes low. The IC will turn on when  
the power is recycled.  
When this pin is pulled to GND (or left open), switching of the HV9911 is disabled. When an external  
TTL high level is applied to it, switching will resume.  
Stable Closed loop control can be accomplished by connecting a compensation network between  
COMP and GND.  
13  
14  
PWMD  
COMP  
The voltage at this pin sets the output current level. The current reference can be set using a resistor  
divider from the REF pin.  
15  
16  
IREF  
FDBK  
This pin provides output current feedback to the HV9911 by using a current sense resistor.

The main component of the current drawn by the IC IiNs the  
current drawn by the switching FET driver at the GATE pin.  
To estimate this current, we need to know a few parameters  
of the FET being used in the design and the switching  
frequency.

Maximum Input Voltage at VIN pin computed  
using the Power Dissipation Limit  
For this design, at 24V input, the increase in the junction  
The maximum input voltage that the HV9911 can withstand  
without damage if the regulator is drawing about 2.8mA will  
depend on the ambient temperature. If we consider an ambi-  
ent temperature of 40°C, the power dissipation in the pack-  
age cannot exceed  
temperature of the IC (over the ambient) will be  
ΔΘ = VIN • ITOTAL • ΘJA  
= 5.64OC  
where ΘJA is the junction to ambient thermal impedance of  
the 16-pin SOIC package of the HV9911.  
P
= 1000mW - 10mW • (40OC - 25OC)  
MAX = 850mW  
Minimum Input Voltage at VIN pin  
The above equation is based on package power dissipation  
limits as given in the Absolute Maximum Limits section of  
this datasheet.  
The minimum input voltage at which the converter will start  
and stop depends on the minimum voltage drop required for  
the linear regulator. The internal linear regulator will regulate  
the voltage at the V pin when VIN is between 9 and 250V.  
However, when VIN DiDs less than 9V, the converter will still  
function as long as V is greater than the under voltage  
lockout. Thus, the conDvDerter might be able to start at input  
voltages lower than 9V. The start/stop voltages at the VIN pin  
can be determined using the minimum voltage drop across  
the linear regulator as a function of the current drawn. This  
data is shown in Fig. 3 for different junction temperatures.  
To dissipate a maximum power of 850mW in the package,  
the maximum input voltage cannot exceed  
Pmax  
ITOTAL  
= 296V  
V
=
inmax  
Since the maximum voltage is far greater than the actual  
input voltage (24V), power dissipation will not be a problem  
for this design.

Minimum drop in Linear Regulator (V)

Assume a maximum junction temperature of 85°C (this give a Note: In order to avoid abnormal startup conditions, the  
reasonable temperature rise of 45°C at an ambient tempera- bypass capacitor at the REF pin should not exceed 0.22µF.  
ture of 40°C). At 2.86mA input current, the minimum voltage  
Oscillator  
drop from Fig. 3 can be approximately estimated to be VDROP  
= 0.75V. However, before the IC starts switching the current  
drawn will be the total current minus the gate drive current.  
The oscillator can be set in two ways. Connecting the  
oscillator resistor between the RT and GATE pins will  
program the off-time. Connecting the resistor between RT  
and GND will program the time period.  
In this case, that current is I  
= 1.2mA. At this current  
level, the voltage drop is appQro_TxOiTmALately VDROP1 = 0.4V. Thus,  
the start/stop VIN voltages can be computed to be:  
In both cases, resistor RT sets the current, which charges  
an internal oscillator capacitor. The capacitor voltage ramps  
up linearly and when the voltage increases beyond the  
internal set voltage, a comparator triggers the SET input of  
the internal SR flip-flop. This starts the next switching cycle.  
The time period of the oscillator can be computed as:  
VINSTART = UVLOMAX + VDROP1  
= 7.2V + 0.4V  
= 7.60V  
VINSTOP = UVLO  
- 0.5V + VDROP  
= 7.2V -MA0X.5V + 0.75V  
= 7.45V  
TS ≈ RT x 11pF  
Note: In some cases, if the gate drive draws too much cur-  
rent, VINSTART might be less than VINSTOP. In such cases, the  
control IC will oscillate between ON and OFF if the input volt-  
age is between the start and stop voltages. In these circum-  
stances, it is recommended that the input voltage be kept  
Slope Compensation  
For converters operating in the constant frequency mode,  
slope compensation becomes necessary to ensure stability  
of the peak current mode controller, if the operating duty  
cycle is greater than 0.5. Choosing a slope compensation  
which is one half of the down slope of the inductor current  
ensures that the converter will be stable for all duty cycles.  
higher than VINSTOP

HV9911 includes a 2% accurate, 1.25V reference, which can  
be used as the reference for the output current as well as  
to set the switch current limit. This reference is also used  
internally to set the over voltage protection threshold. The  
reference is buffered so that it can deliver a maximum of  
500µA external current to drive the external circuitry. The  
reference should be bypassed with at least a 10nF low ESR  
capacitor.

Circuit on pg.1), which will disconnect the load during a  
fault condition. This disconnect switch is very important in a  
boost converter, as turning off the switching FET (Q ) during  
an output short circuit condition will not remove the 1fault (Q1  
is not in the path of the fault current). The disconnect switch  
will help to disconnect the shorted load from the input.  
Current Sense  
The current sense input of the HV9911 includes a built in  
100ns (minimum) blanking time to prevent spurious turn off  
due to the initial current spike when the FET turns on.  
Over Voltage Protection  
The HV9911 includes two high-speed comparators – one is  
used during normal operation and the other is used to limit Over voltage protection is achieved by connecting the output

steps down the voltage at the COMP pin by a factor of  
15. This stepped-down voltage is given to one of the  
comparators as the current reference. The reference to the  
other comparator, which acts to limit the maximum inductor  
current, is given externally.  
Output Short Circuit Protection  
The output short circuit condition is indicated by FAULT. At  
startup, a monoshot circuit, (triggered by the POR circuit),  
resets an internal flip-flop, which causes FAULT to go high,  
and remains high during normal operation. This also allows  
the gate drive to function normally.  
It is recommended that the sense resistor RCS be chosen so  
as to provide about 250mV current sense signal.  
Current Limit  
The steady state current is reflected in the reference  
voltage connected to the transconductance amplifier. The  
instantaneous output current is sensed from the FDBK  
terminal of the amplifier. The short circuit threshold current is  
internally set to 200% of the steady state current.  
Current limit has to be set by a resistor divider from the  
1.25V reference available on the IC. Assuming a maximum  
operating inductor current I (including the ripple current),  
the voltage at the CLIM pin capnk be set as:  
5 • RSC  
RSLOPE  
During short circuit condition, when the current exceeds the  
internally set threshold, the SR flip-flop is set and FAULT  
goes low. At the same time, the gate driver of the power FET  
is inhibited, providing a latching protection. The system can  
be reset by cycling the input voltage to the IC.  
VCLIM ≥ 1.2 • IPK • RCS  
+
• 0.9  
Note that this equation assumes a current limit at 120%  
of the maximum input current. Also, if VCLIM is greater than  
450mV, the saturation of the internal opamp will determine  
the limit on the input current rather than the C pin. In such  
a case, the sense resistor RCS should be reLdIMuced till VCLIM  
reduces below 450mV.  
Note: The short circuit FET should be connected before the  
current sense resistor as reversing RS and Q2 will affect the  
accuracy of the output current (due to the additional voltage  
drop across Q2 which will be sensed).  
It is recommended that no capacitor be connected between  
CLIM and GND. If necessary, the capacitor value must be  
chosen to be less than 1000pF.  
Synchronization  
The SYNC pin is an input/output (I/O) port to a fault tolerant  
peer-to-peer and/or master clock synchronization circuit.  
For synchronization, the SYNC pins of multiple HV9911  
based converters can be connected together, and may also  
be connected to the open drain output of a master clock.  
When connected in this manner, the oscillators will lock  
to the device with the highest operating frequency. When  
synchronizing multiple ICs, it is recommended that the same  
FAULT Protection  
The HV9911 has built-in output over-voltage protection  
and output short circuit protection. Both protection features  
are latched, which means that the power to the IC must  
be recycled to reset the IC. The IC also includes a FAULT

current rather than pull the IREF pin to GND.  
In rare occasions, given the length of the connecting lines for  
the SYNC pins, a resistor between SYNC and GND may be  
required to damp any ringing due to parasitic capacitances.  
It is recommended that the resistor chosen be greater than  
300kΩ.  
PWM Dimming  
PWM dimming can be achieved by driving the PWMD pin  
with a TTL compatible source. The PWM signal is connected  
internally to the three different nodes – the transconductance  
amplifier, the FAULT output, and the GATE output.  
When synchronized in this manner, a permanent HIGH  
or LOW condition on the SYNC pin will result in a loss of  
synchronization, but the HV9911 based converters will  
continue to operate at their individually set operating  
frequency. Since loss of synchronization will not result in total  
system failure, the SYNC pin is considered fault tolerant.  
When the PWMD signal is high, the GATE and FAULT pins  
are enabled, and the output of the transconductance opamp  
is connected to the external compensation network. Thus,  
the internal amplifier controls the output current. When the  
PWMD signal goes low, the output of the transconductance  
amplifier is disconnected from the compensation network.  
Thus, the integrating capacitor maintains the voltage across  
it. The GATE is disabled, so the converter stops switching  
and the FAULT pin goes low, turning off the disconnect  
switch.  
Note: The HV9911 is designed to SYNC up to four ICs at a  
time without the use of an external buffer. To SYNC more  
than four ICs, it is recommended that a buffered external  
clock be used.  
The output capacitor of the converter determines the  
PWM dimming response of the converter, since it has to  
get charged and discharged whenever the PWMD signal

slightly larger or the OVP set point has to be increased.  
Note: The HV9911 IC might latch-up if the PWMD pin is  
pulled 0.3V below GND, causing failure of the part. This  
abnormal condition can happen if there is a long cable be-  
tween the PWM signal and the PWMD pin of the IC. It is  
recommended that a 1kΩ resistor be connected between  
the PWMD pin and the PWM signal input to the HV9911.  
This resistor, when placed close to the IC, will damp out any  
ringing that might cause the voltage at the PWMD pin to go  
below GND.  
Linear Dimming  
Linear dimming can be accomplished by varying the voltage  
at the I  
pin, as the output current is proportional to the  
voltageRaEFt the IREF pin. This can be done either by using a  
potentiometer from the REF pin or by applying an external  
voltage source at the IREF pin.  
Note: Due to the offset voltage of the transconductance  
opamp, pulling the I pin very close to GND will cause the  
internal short circuit RcEoFmparator to trigger and shut down the  
IC. This limits the linear dimming range of the IC. However,  
a 1:10 linear dimming range can be easily obtained. It is

HV9911  
Avoiding False Shutdowns of the HV9911  
The increase in the short circuit response time can be  
computed using the various component values of the boost  
converter. Consider a boost converter with a nominal output  
current IO = 350mA, an output sense resistor RS = 1.24W,  
LED string voltage VO = 100V and an output capacitor CO  
= 2mF. The disconnect FET is a TN2510N8 from Supertex  
which has a saturation current I = 3A (at VGS = 6V). The  
increase in the short circuit resSpAoTnse time due to the RC  
filter can then be computed as:  
The HV9911 has two fault modes which trigger a latched  
protection mode - an over current (or short circuit) protection,  
and an over voltage protection.  
To prevent false triggering due to the tripping of the over  
voltage comparator, (due to noise in the GND traces on the  
PCB), it is recommended that a 1nF - 10nF capacitor be  
connected between the OVP pin and GND. Although this  
capacitor will slow down the response of the over voltage  
protection circuitry somewhat, it will not affect the overall  
performance of the converter, as the large output capacitance  
in the boost design will limit the rate of rise of the output  
voltage.

In some cases, the over current protection may be triggered  
during PWM dimming, when the FAULT goes high and the  
disconnect switch is turned on. This triggering of the over  
current protection is related to the parasitic capacitance of  
the LED string (shown as a lumped capacitance CLED in Fig.  
4).  
≈ 66ns  
This increase is found to be negligible (note that the equation  
is valid for ΔT << RS • CO. In this case, RS • CO = 2.48µs, and  
the condition holds.  
During normal PWM dimming operation, the HV9911  
maintains the voltage across the output capacitor (CO),  
by turning off the disconnect switch and preserving the  
charge in the output capacitance when the PWM dimming  
signal is low. At the same time, the voltage at the drain of  
the disconnect FET is some non-zero value VD. When the  
PWM dimming signal goes high, FET Q is turned ON. This  
causes the voltage at the drain of the FE2T (VD) to instantly go  
to zero. Assuming a constant output voltage VO,  
Sizing the Output Sense Resistor  
To avoid exceeding the peak-current rating of the output  
sense resistor during short circuit conditions, the power  
rating of the resistor has to be chosen properly.  
In this case, the maximum power dissipated in the sense  
resistor is:  
PSC = IS2AT • RS = 11W

iSENSE = CLED  
= - CLED  
From the datasheet for a 1.24W, 1/4W resistor, the maximum  
power it can dissipate for a single 1ms pulse of current is 11W.  
Since the total short circuit time is about 350ns (including the  
300ns time for turn off), the resistor should be able to handle  
the current.  
dt  
dVd  
dt  
In this case, the rate of fall of the drain voltage of the  
disconnect FET is a large value (since the FET turns on very  
quickly) and this causes a spike of current through the sense  
resistor, which could trigger the over current protection  
(depending on the parasitic capacitance of the LED string).  
To prevent this condition, a simple RC low pass filter network  
can be added as shown in Fig. 5. Typical values are RF =  
1kΩ and CF = 470pF. This filter will block the FDBK pin from  
seeing the turn-on spike and normalize the PWM dimming  
operation of the HV9911 boost converter. This will have  
minimal effect on the stability of the loop but will increase  
the response time to an output short. If the increase in the  
response time is large, it might damage the output current  
sense resistor due to exceeding its peak-current rating.
