Description
HV9861A is a patented, average-mode, constant-current control, LED driver IC operating in a constant offtime mode. Unlike the HV9910B, this control IC does
not produce a peak-to-average error, which therefore
greatly improves the accuracy, line and load regulation
of the LED current without any need for loop compensation or high-side current sensing. The output LED
current accuracy is ±3%.
The IC is equipped with a current limit comparator for
hiccup-mode output short circuit protection. Internal
over-temperature protection is provided. The internally
regulated voltage (V
The IC can be powered from a 15 - 450V supply. A
PWM dimming input is provided that accepts an external control TTL-compatible signal. The output current
can be programmed by an internal 270mV reference,
or controlled externally through a 0 - 1.5V dimming
input.
HV9861A is pin-to-pin compatible with the HV9910B
and HV9961, and can be used as a drop-in replacement for many applications to improve the LED current
accuracy and regulation.
Note: Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum
Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. This is
a stress rating only and functional operation of the device at
those or any other conditions, above those indicated in the
operational listings of this specification, is not implied. Exposure to maximum rating conditions for extended periods may
affect device reliability.

FunctionDescription
Current sense pin used to sense the FET current by means of an
external sense resistor.
Ground return for all internal circuitry. This pin must be electrically
connected to the ground of the power train.
PWM-dimming input of the IC. When this pin is pulled to GND, the
gate driver is turned off. When the pin is pulled high, the gate driver
operates normally.
Power supply pin for all internal circuits. It must be bypassed with a
low ESR capacitor to GND (at least 0.1F).
Linear-dimming input. Sets the current sense threshold as long as
the voltage at this pin is less than 1.5V. If voltage at LD falls below
150mV, the GATE output is disabled. The GATE signal recovers at
200mV at LD.
A resistor connected between this pin and GND programs the
GATE off-time.
