BUCK/BOOST MODE DC-DC CONVERTER FOR LED DRIVING WITH 700mA OUTPUT AND CURRENT
CONTROL
Description
The ZXLD1322 is an inductive DC-DC converter, with an internal switch, designed for driving single or multiple LEDs in
series up to a total of 700mA output current. Applications cover input v oltages ranging from 2.5V to 15V. Depe nding upon
supply voltage and external components, this can provide up to 12W of output power. The device em ploys a variable 'on'
and 'off' time control scheme with adjustable peak switch current limiting and operates i n Buck/Boost mode, offering higher
power efficiency and lower system cost than conventional PFM buck/boost circuitry. The device includes the DC-DC
converter, a high-side current monitor and an NPN switching transistor to provide an integrated solution offering small PCB
size, competitive cost/performance, high power efficiency of DC-DC conversion and maximum L ED brightness/reliability.
More importantly, it retains design flexibility to add customer specific features. T he feedback control circuitry inside the
ZXLD1322 provides excellent load and current regul ation, resulting in very stable LED current over the useful life of the
battery and over the full operating temperature range. The LED curre nt can b e adjusted from 100 % down to 10% of t he set
value by applying a dc voltage to the ADJ pin and do wn to 1% b y appl ying a PWM sign al. An on-c hip LE D protecti on cir cuit
also allows output current to be reduced linearly above a predet erm ine d thresho ld temper ature using a n ext ernal thermi stor
at the TADJ pin. External resistors set nominal average LE D current a nd coil pe ak current indep endently. The dev ice can
be shut down by applying a continuous low level dc voltage to the ADJ pin.
