HV9963  
Closed Loop LED Driver  
with Enhanced PWM Dimming  
Features  
General Description  
Switch-mode controller for single switch converters  
The HV9963 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 mode. The controller  
uses a peak current-mode control scheme (with programmable  
slope compensation) and includes an internal transconductance  
amplifier to accurately control the output current over all line and  
load conditions. Multiple HV9963s can be synchronized to each  
other or to an external clock using the SYNC pin. The IC also  
provides a disconnect switch gate drive output, which can be  
used to disconnect the LEDs in case of a fault condition using an  
external disconnect FET. The 10V external FET drivers allow the  
use of standard level FETs. The low voltage 5.0V AVDD is used to  
power the internal logic and also acts as a reference voltage to set  
the current level.

HV9963  
The oscillator is also timed to the PWM dimming signal to  
improve the PWM dimming performance. The oscillator is  
turned off when PWMD is low and is enabled when PWMD  
goes high.  
Power Topology  
The HV9963 is a switch-mode LED driver designed to con-  
trol a buck, boost or SEPIC converter in a constant frequen-  
cy mode. The IC includes internal linear regulators, which  
enables it to operate at input voltages from 9 to 40V. The IC  
includes features typically required in LED drivers like open  
LED protection, output short circuit protection, linear and  
PWM dimming and accurate control of the LED current. It  
also includes logic to enable enhanced PWM dimming which  
allows dimming ratios in excess of 5000:1.  
Current Sense (CS)  
The current sense input is used to sense the source current  
of the switching FET. The CS input of the HV9963 includes  
a built in 100ns (minimum) blanking time to prevent spurious  
turn off due to the initial current spike when the FET turns  
on.  
Power Supply to the IC (VIN, PVDD and AVDD)  
The HV9963 can be powered directly from its VIN pin that  
takes a voltage up to 40V. There are two linear regulators  
within the HV9963 – a 10V linear regulator (PVDD), which  
is used for the two FET drivers, and a 5.0V linear regulator  
(AVDD) which supplies power to the rest of the control logic.  
The IC also has a built in under-voltage lockout which shuts  
off the IC if the voltage at either VDD pin falls below its UVLO  
threshold.  
The IC includes an internal resistor divider network, which  
steps down the voltage at the COMP pins by a factor of 12  
(11R:1R). This voltage is used as the reference for the cur-  
rent sense comparators. Since the maximum voltage of the  
COMP pin is AVDD - 0.7V, this voltage determines the maxi-  
mum reference current for the current sense comparator and  
thus the maximum inductor current.  
The current sense resistor RCS should be chosen so that the  
input inductor current is limited to below the saturation cur-  
rent level of the input inductor. For discontinuous conduction  
mode of operation, no slope compensation is necessary. In  
this case, the current sense resistor is chosen as:  
Both VDD pins must by bypassed by a low ESR capacitor (≥  
0.1µF) for proper operation.  
The input current drawn from the external power supply (or  
VIN pin) is a sum of the 1.5mA (max) current drawn by the all  
the internal circuitry and the current drawn by the gate driver  
(which in turn depends on the switching frequency and the  
gate charge of the external FET).  
AVDD - 0.7V  
RCS  
=
12 • ISAT  
where ISAT is the maximum desired peak inductor current.  
IIN = 1.5mA + Qg1 • fS + Qg2 • fPWMD  
For continuous conduction mode converters operating in the  
constant frequency mode, slope compensation becomes  
necessary to ensure stability of the peak current mode con-  
troller, if the operating duty cycle is greater than 0.5. This  
factor must also be accounted for when determining RCS  
(see Slope Compensation section).  
In the above equation, fs is the switching frequency of the  
converter, fPWMD is the frequency of the applied PWM dim-  
ming signal, Qg1 is the gate charge of the external boost FET  
and Qg2 is the gate charge of the disconnect FET (both of  
which can be obtained from the FET datasheets).  
The AVDD pin can also be used as a reference voltage to set  
the LED current using a resistor divider to the IREF pin.  
Slope Compensation  
Choosing a slope compensation that is one half of the down  
slope of the inductor current ensures that the converter will  
be stable for all duty cycles.  
Timing Resistor (RT)  
The switching frequency of the converter is set by connect-  
ing a resistor between RT and GND. The resistor value can  
be determined as:  
Slope compensation in the HV9963 can be programmed by  
one external capacitor in series with the CS pin (see Fig-  
ure 1). A current, proportional to the switching frequency, is  
sourced out of the CS pin.

When the FET Q1 is off, the internal discharge to FET Q2  
is turned on and capacitor CSC is discharged. Also, CDRAIN  
is charged to the output voltage VO. When the FET Q1 is  
turned on, the drain node of the FET is pulled to ground (Q2  
is turned off just prior to Q1 being turned on). This causes

then the sum of the voltage across the capacitor and the spike causes a voltage to develop across the parasitic in-

Control of the LED Current (IREF, FDBK and  
COMP)  
The LED current in the HV9963 is controlled in a closed-  
loop manner. The current reference which sets the three  
LED currents at the IREF pin is set by using a resistor di-  
vider from the AVDD pin (or can be set externally with a low  
voltage source). This reference voltage is compared to the  
voltage at the FDBK pin which senses the LED current by  
using current sense resistors. HV9963 includes a 1.0MHz  
transconductance amplifier with tri-state output, which is  
used to close the feedback loops and provide accurate cur-  
rent control. The compensation network is connected at the  
COMP pin.  
3A  
VPRE-CHARGE = 10nH •  
= 600mV  
50ns  
As can be seen, a very conservative estimate of the pre-  
charge voltage is already larger than the steady state peak  
current sense voltage and will cause the converter to falsely  
trip.  
To prevent this behavior, a resistor (typically 500 – 800Ω)  
can be added in series with the capacitor as shown in Figure  
4. This resistor limits the charging current into the capacitor.  
However, the resistor will also slow down the discharge of  
the capacitor during the FET off time, so the maximum exter-  
nal resistance will be limited by the switching frequency and  
the slope compensation capacitor.  
The output of the op-amp is buffered and connected to the  
current sense comparator using a 11R:1R resistor divider.  
The output of the op-amp is also controlled by the signal  
applied to the PWMD pin. When PWMD is high, the output  
of the op-amp is connected to the COMP pin. When PWMD  
is low, the output is left open. This enables the integrating  
capacitor to hold the charge when the PWMD signal has  
turned off the gate drive. When the IC is enabled, the volt-  
age on the integrating capacitor will force the converter into  
a steady state almost instantaneously.

Upon start-up, the capacitance at the COMP network  
is being charged by the 200μA sourcing current of the  
transconductance amplifier. Without the soft-start func-  
tion, this larger current would cause the COMP voltage to  
increase faster than the boost converter’s response time,  
causing overshoots in the LED current during start-up.  
FLT Output  
The FLT pin is used to drive a disconnect FET when driving  
boost and SEPIC converters. In the case of boost convert-  
ers, when there is a short circuit fault at the output, there is a  
direct path from the input source to ground which can cause  
high currents to flow. The disconnect switch is used to inter-  
rupt this path and prevent damage to the converter.  
The SS pin is used to prevent these LED current overshoots  
by limiting the COMP pin’s rate of rise . A capacitor at the soft  
start pin programs the voltage’s rate of rise at the pin. The  
SS pin holds the COMP pin to 1.0V above the SS pin and  
thereby controls the COMP pin’s rate of rise. The COMP pin  
is released once the voltage reaches its steady state volt-  
age.  
The disconnect switch also helps to disconnect the output  
filter capacitors for the boost and SEPIC converters from  
the LED load during PWM dimming and enables a very high  
PWM dimming ratio.

Linear Dimming

Linear Dimming can be accomplished in the HV9963 by  
varying the voltages at the IREF pin. Note that since the  
HV9963 is a peak current mode controller, it has a minimum  
on-time for the GATE output. This minimum on-time will pre-  
vent the converter from completely turning off even when  
the IREF pin is pulled to GND. Thus, linear dimming cannot  
accomplish true zero LED current. To get zero LED current,  
PWM dimming has to be used.

attempts to restart. If the fault condition still persists, the con-

the converter will start regulating the output current normally.

GATE This is the GATE driver output for the switching FET.  
Ground return for all the low power analog internal circuitry as well as the gate drivers. This pin must be  
connected to the return path from the input.

will turn on once PWMD goes high.  
This I/O pin may be connected to the SYNC pin of other HV9963 circuits and will cause the oscillators to  
lock to the highest frequency oscillator.

AVDD voltage both internally and externally. It must be bypassed with a low ESR capacitor to GND (at least  
0.1μF).  
This pin is used to drive an external disconnect FET which disconnects the load from the circuit during  
a fault condition or during PWM dimming to achieve a very high dimming ratio.  
FLT  
This pin provides the over voltage protection for the converter. When the voltage at this pin exceeds  
OVP 1.25V, the gate output of the HV9963 is turned off and FLT goes low. The IC will turn on when the voltage  
at the pin goes below 1.125V.  
When this pin is pulled to GND (or left open), switching of the HV9963 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.  
COMP  
The voltage at this pin sets the output current level. The current reference can be set using a resistor  
IREF divider from the AVDD pin. Connecting a voltage greater than 1.25V at this pin will disable the short  
circuit comparator.
