PAM99700

UNIVERSAL HIGH BRIGHTNESS LED DRIVER

Description

 

Pin Assignments

The PAM99700 is an open loop current mode control LED driver IC. The PAM99700 can be programmed to operate in either a constant frequency or constant off-time mode. It includes a 12 - 500V regulator which allows it to work from a wide range of input voltages without the need for an external low voltage supply. The PAM99700 includes a PWM dimming input that can accept an external control signal with a duty ratio of 0 - 100% and a frequency of up to a few kilohertz. It also includes a 0 - 250mV linear dimming input which can be used for linear dimming of the LED current.

The PAM99700 is ideally suited for buck LED drivers. Since the PAM99700 operates in open loop current mode control, the controller achieves good output current regulation without the need for any loop compensation. PWM dimming response is limited only by the rate of rise and fall of the inductor current, enabling very fast rise and fall times. The PAM99700 requires only three external components (apart from the power stage) to produce a controlled LED current making it an ideal solution for low cost LED drivers.

Function

This pin is the input of a 12V-500V regulator.

This pin is the current sense pin used to sense the FET current by means of an external sense resistor. When this pin exceeds the lower of either the internal 250mV or the voltage at the LD pin, the gate output goes low.

Ground return for all internal circuitry. This pin must be electrically connected to the ground of the power train.

This pin is the output gate driver for an external N-Channel power MOSFET.

This is the 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.

This is the power supply pin for all internal circuits. It must be bypassed with a low ESR capacitor to GND (~ 10μF).

This pin is the linear dimming input an d sets the current sense threshold as long as the voltage at the pin is less than 250mV (typ).

This pin sets the oscillator frequency. When a resistor is connected between RT and GND, the PAM99700 operates in constant frequency mode. When the resistor is connected between RT and GATE, the IC operates in constant off-time mode.

Not connected.
