The HV9925 is a pulse width modulated (PWM) high-effi ciency
LED driver control IC with PWM dimming capabilities. It
allows effi cient operation of high brightness LED strings from
voltage sources ranging up to 400VDC. The HV9925 includes
an internal high-voltage switching MOSFET controlled with a
fi xed off-time T
driven at constant current, thus providing constant light output
and enhanced reliability. Selecting a value of a current sense
resistor can externally program the output LED current of the
HV9925.
The peak current control scheme provides good regulation
of the output current throughout the universal AC line voltage
range of 85VAC to 264VAC or DC input voltage of 20V to 400V.
The HV9925 is designed with a built in thermal shutdown to
prevent excessive power dissipation in the IC.

Functional Description
HV9925
The HV9925 is a PWM peak current control IC for driving
a buck converter topology in continuous conduction mode
(CCM). The HV9925 controls the output current (rather than
output voltage) of the converter that can be programmed by
a single external resistor (R
), for the purpose of driving a
SENSE
string of light emitting diodes (LED). An external enable input
(PWMD) is provided that can be utilized for PWM dimming of
an LED string. The typical rising and falling edge transitions
of the LED current when using the PWM dimming feature of
the HV9925 are shown in Fig. 6 and Fig. 7.
When the input voltage of 20 to 400V appears at the DRAIN
pin, the internal linear regulator seeks to maintain a voltage
of 7.5VDC at the VDD pin. Until this voltage exceeds the
internally programmed under-voltage threshold, no output
switching occurs. When the threshold is exceeded, the
integrated high-voltage switch turns on, pulling the DRAIN
low. A 200mV hysteresis is incorporated with the undervoltage comparator to prevent oscillation.
When the voltage at R
exceeds 0.47V, the switch turns
SENSE
off and the DRAIN output becomes high impedance. At the
same time, a one-shot circuit is activated that determines
the off-time of the switch (10µs typ.).
A “blanking” delay of 300ns is provided upon the turn-on of
the switch that prevents false triggering of the current sense
comparator due to the leading edge spike caused by circuit
parasitics.
Application Information
Selecting L1 and D1
variation. Therefore, the output current will remain unaffected
by the varying input voltage.
Adding a fi lter capacitor across the LED string can reduce
the output current ripple even further, thus permitting a
reduced value of L1. However, one must keep in mind that
the peak-to-average current error is affected by the variation
of T
. Therefore, the initial output current accuracy might
OFF
be sacrifi ced at large ripple current in L1.
Another important aspect of designing an LED driver with
HV9925 is related to certain parasitic elements of the
circuit, including distributed coil capacitance of L1, junction
capacitance, and reverse recovery of the rectifi er diode D1,
capacitance of the printed circuit board traces C

of the controller itself. These parasitic

and output

elements affect the effi ciency of the switching converter and
could potentially cause false triggering of the current sense
comparator if not properly managed. Minimizing these
parasitics is essential for effi cient and reliable operation of
HV9925.
Coil capacitance of inductors is typically provided in the
manufacturer’s data books either directly or in terms of the
self-resonant frequency (SRF).

L
where L is the inductance value, and CL is the coil capacitance.
Charging and discharging this capacitance every switching
cycle causes high-current spikes in the LED string. Therefore,
connecting a small capacitor CO (~10nF) is recommended to
bypass these spikes.
The required value of L1 is inversely proportional to the ripple
current ∆IO in it. Setting the relative peak-to-peak ripple to
20~30% is a good practice to ensure noise immunity of the
current sense comparator.

introduces a peak-to-average error in the output current
setting that needs to be accounted for. Due to the constant
off-time control technique used in the HV9925, the ripple
current is nearly independent of the input AC or DC voltage
Using an ultra-fast rectifi er diode for D1 is recommended to
achieve high effi ciency and reduce the risk of false triggering
of the current sense comparator. Using diodes with shorter
reverse recovery time trr, and lower junction capacitance CJ,
achieves better performance. The reverse voltage rating VR
of the diode must be greater than the maximum input voltage
of the LED lamp.

When the switch turns on, the capacitance CP is discharged

EMI Filter
As with all off-line converters, selecting an input fi lter is critical
to obtaining good EMI. A switching side capacitor, albeit of
small value, is necessary in order to ensure low impedance
to the high frequency switching currents of the converter. As
a rule of thumb, this capacitor should be approximately 0.1-
0.2 µF/W of LED output power. A recommended input fi lter is
shown in Figure 2 for the following design example.
Design Example 1
Let us design an HV9925 LED lamp driver meeting the
following specifi cations:
Input: Universal AC, 85-264VAC
Output Current: 20mA
Load: String of 10 LED (LW541C by OSRAM
VF = 4.1V max. each)
The schematic diagram of the LED driver is shown in
Fig.2.
Usually, the reverse recovery characteristics of ultrafast rectifi ers at IF = 20~50mA are not provided in the
manufacturer’s data books. The designer may want to
experiment with different diodes to achieve the best result.

We will use an aluminum electrolytic capacitor for CIN in order
to prevent interruptions of the LED current at zero crossings
