The ZXLD1356 is a continuous mode inductive step-down converter,
designed for driving single or multiple series connected LEDs efficiently
from a voltage source higher than the LED voltage. The device operates
from an input supply between 6V and 60V and provides an externally
adjustable output current of up to 550mA. Depending upon supply
voltage and external components, this can provide up to 30 watts of
output power.
The ZXLD1356 has been qualified to AECQ100 Grade 1 enabling
operation in ambient temperatures from -40°C to +125°C
Output current can be adjusted above, or below the set value, by
applying an external control signal to the 'ADJ' pin. Enhanced output
current dimming can be achieved by applying a PWM signal to the ‘ADJ’
pin.

Semiconductor devices are ESD sensitive and may be damaged by exposure to ESD events. Suitable ESD precautions should be taken when handling and
transporting these devices.
The human body model is a 100pF capacitor discharge through a 1.5k resistor pin. The machine model is a 200pF capacitor discharged directly into each pin.
Notes: 4. VIN > 16V to fully enhance output transistor. Otherwise out current must be derated - see graphs. Operation at low supply may cause excessive heating
due to increased on-resistance. Tested at 7V guaranteed for 6V by design.
5. ZXLD1356 will operate at higher frequencies but accuracy will be affected due to propagation delays.

ADJ
Operation can be best understood by assuming that the ADJ pin of the device is unconnected and the voltage on this pin (V
at the (+) input of the comparator.
When input voltage V
is first applied, the initial current in L1 and RS is zero and there is no output from the current sense circuit. Under this
IN
condition, the (-) input to the comparator is at ground and its output is high. This turns MN on and switches the LX pin low, causing current to flow
from V
to ground, via RS, L1 and the LED(s). The current rises at a rate determined by VIN and L1 to produce a voltage ramp (V
IN
. The supply referred voltage V
R
S
is forced across internal resistor R1 by the current sense circuit and produces a proportional current in
SENSE
internal resistors R2 and R3. This produces a ground referred rising voltage at the (-) input of the comparator. When this reaches the threshold
voltage (V
), the comparator output switches low and MN turns off. The comparator output also drives another NM OS switch, which bypasses
ADJ
internal resistor R3 to provide a controlled amount of hysteresis. The hysteresis is set by R3 to be nominally 15% of V
When MN is off, the current in L1 continues to flow via D1 and the LED(s) back to V
and diode forward voltages to produce a falling voltage at the input of the comparator. When this voltage returns to V
switches high again. This cycle of events repeats, with the comparator input ramping between limits of V

is then defined by this voltage and RS according to:
The device contains a low pass filter between the ADJ pin and the threshold comparator and an internal current limiting resistor (50k nom)
between ADJ and the internal reference voltage. This allows the ADJ pin to be overdriven with either DC or pulse signals to change the V
switching threshold and adjust the output current.
Details of the different modes of adjusting output current are given in the applications section.
Output Shutdown
The output of the low pass filter drives the shutdown circuit. When the input voltage to this circuit falls below the threshold (0.2V nom.), the
internal regulator and the output switch are turned off. The voltage reference remains powered during shutdown to provide the bias current for
the shutdown circuit. Quiescent supply current during shutdown is nominally 60µA and switch leakage is below 5µA.
