9 Application and Implementation

NOTE

Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.

9.1 Application Information

The LM3530 incorporates a 40-V (maximum output) boost, a single current sink, and a dual ambient light sensor interface. The maximum boost output voltage is 40 V (min) for the LM3530-40 version. The LM3530 boost will drive the output voltage to whatever voltage necessary to maintain 400mV at the ILED input. The 40-V max output typically allows the LM3530 to drive from 2 series up to 12 series LEDs (3.2V max voltage per LED). For applications that do not use one or both of the ALS inputs, the ALS input can be connected to GND or left floating.

9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure

9.2.2.1 LED Current Setting/Maximum LED Current

The maximum LED current is restricted by the following factors: the maximum duty cycle that the boost converter can achieve, the peak current limitations, and the maximum output voltage.

9.2.2.2 Maximum Duty Cycle

The LM3530 can achieve up to typically 94% maximum duty cycle. Two factors can cause the duty cycle to increase: an increase in the difference between VOUT and VIN and a decrease in efficiency. This is shown by Equation 12:

Equation 12. 30086635.gif

For a 9-LED configuration VOUT = (3.6 V x 9LED + VHR) = 33 V operating with η = 70% from a 3-V battery, the duty cycle requirement would be around 93.6%. Lower efficiency or larger VOUT to VIN differentials can push the duty cycle requirement beyond 94%.

9.2.2.3 Peak Current Limit

The LM3530 boost converter has a peak current limit for the internal power switch of 839 mA typical (739 mA minimum). When the peak switch current reaches the current limit, the duty cycle is terminated resulting in a limit on the maximum output current and thus the maximum output power the LM3530 can deliver. Calculate the maximum LED current as a function of VIN, VOUT, L, efficiency (η) and IPEAK as:

Equation 13. 30086605.gif

where

9.2.2.4 Output Voltage Limitations

The LM3530 has a maximum output voltage of 41 V typical (40 V minimum) for the LM3530-40 version and 24 V typical (23.6 V minimum) for the LM3530-25 version. When the output voltage rises above this threshold (VOVP) the overvoltage protection feature is activated and the duty cycle is terminated. Switching will cease until VOUT drops below the hysteresis level (typically 1 V below VOVP). For larger numbers of series connected LEDs the output voltage can reach the OVP threshold at larger LED currents and colder ambient temperatures. Typically white LEDs have a –3mV/°C temperature coefficient.

9.2.2.5 Output Capacitor Selection

The LM3530’s output capacitor has two functions: filtering of the boost converters switching ripple, and to ensure feedback loop stability. As a filter, the output capacitor supplies the LED current during the boost converters on time and absorbs inductor energy during the switch off time. This causes a sag in the output voltage during the on time and a rise in the output voltage during the off time. Because of this, the output capacitor must be sized large enough to filter the inductor current ripple that could cause the output voltage ripple to become excessive. As a feedback loop component, the output capacitor must be at least 1 µF and have low ESR otherwise the LM3530 boost converter can become unstable. This requires the use of ceramic output capacitors. Table 14 lists part numbers and voltage ratings for different output capacitors that can be used with the LM3530.

9.2.2.6 Inductor Selection

The LM3530 is designed to work with a 10-µH to 22-µH inductor. When selecting the inductor, ensure that the saturation rating for the inductor is high enough to accommodate the peak inductor current. Equation 14 and Equation 15 calculate the peak inductor current based upon LED current, VIN, VOUT, and efficiency.

Equation 14. 30086629.gif

where:

Equation 15. 30086630.gif

When choosing L, the inductance value must also be large enough so that the peak inductor current is kept below the LM3530 switch current limit. This forces a lower limit on L given by Equation 16.

Equation 16. 30086631.gif

ISW_MAX is given in , efficiency (η) is shown in the Application Curves, and ƒSW is typically 500 kHz.

9.2.2.7 Diode Selection

The diode connected between SW and OUT must be a Schottky diode and have a reverse breakdown voltage high enough to handle the maximum output voltage in the application. Table 16 lists various diodes that can be used with the LM3530. For 25-V OVP devices a 30-V Schottky is adequate. For 40-V OVP devices, a 40-V Schottky diode should be used.
