7.3.2.6.2 RatioMetric Overvoltage Protection

The DLPA4000 device protects the illumination driver LED outputs against open circuit use. When no LED is connected and the device receives a signal to set the LED current to a specific level, the LED voltage (ILLUM_A_FB) quickly rises and potentially saturates to VIN. The device triggers OVP protection circuit when VLED crosses the specified threshold to prevent this dangerous situation. The OVP protection fault disables the DLPA4000 device.

The device triggers a fault when the supply voltage (VINA) falls too low. A comparator senses both the LED voltage and the VINA supply voltage The fraction of the VINA is connected to the minus input of the comparator while the fraction of the VLED voltage is connected to the plus input. The OVP fault occurs when the plus input rises above the minus input. Set the fraction of the VINA between 1 V and 4 V to ensure proper operation of the comparator.

DLPA4000 OVP_Ratio-Metric.gifFigure 12. Ratio Metric OVP

Use register 0x19h bits [4:0] to set the fraction of the ILLUM_A_FB voltage. Use register 0x0Bh bits [4:0] to set the fraction of the VINA voltage. In general the device issues an OVP fault when either Equation 6 or Equation 6 occurs.

Equation 6. DLPA4000 q_vledovervledratio_dlps132.gif
Equation 7. DLPA4000 q_vled_dlps132.gif

Because the OVP level is ratio-metric it can be set to a fixed fraction of VINA.

For example: to maintain a VLED level below 85% of VINA, use these settings:

reg 0x19h [4:0] = 01h (4.98)

reg 0x0Bh [4:0] = 07h (5.85)

Additionally for VIN_RATIO = 5.85 the VIN– input voltage for the comparator is between 1 V and 3.4 V for a supply voltage between 6 V and 20 V.
