1) PWM current mode DC/DC converter
While this IC is power ON, the lowest voltage of LED terms is detected, PWM duty is decided to be 0.7V and output
voltage is kept invariably. As for the inputs of the PWM comparator as the feature of the PWM current mode, one is
overlapped with error components from the error amplifier, and the other is overlapped with a current sense signal that
controls the inductor current into Slope waveform to prevent sub harmonic oscillation. This output controls internal Nch
Tr via the RS latch. In the period where internal Nch Tr gate is ON, energy is accumulated in the external inductor, and in
the period where internal Nch Tr gate is OFF, energy is transferred to the output capacitor via external SBD.
This IC has many safety functions, and their detection signals stop switching operation at once.
2) Soft start
This IC has soft start function.
The soft start function prevents large coil current.
Rush current at turning on is prevented by the soft start function.
After PWMPOW, PWMDRV is changed L H, soft start becomes effective for within 4ms and soft start doesn't become
effective even if PWMPOW is changed L H after that.
And, when the H section of PWMPOW is within 4ms, soft start becomes invalid when PWMPOW is input to H more than
three times. The invalid of the soft start can be canceled by making PWMPOW, PWMDRV L.

3) FAILFLAG
When the error condition occurs, boost operating is stopped by the protection function, and the error condition is
outputted from FAILFLAG. After power ON, when the protection function is operating under about 1ms have passed.

・Over-voltage protection
・External SBD open detect/ Output Short protection
・LED terminal open/short protection
・Over current limit
At such an error of output open as the output DC/DC and the LED is not connected to IC, the DC/DC will boost too much
and the VDET terminal exceed the absolute maximum ratings, and may destruct the IC. Therefore, when VDET becomes
sensing voltage or higher, the over voltage limit works, and turns off the output Tr, and the pressure up made stop.
At this moment, the IC changes from activation into non-activation, and the output voltage goes down slowly. And, when
the Feedback of LED1 isn’t returned, so that Vout will return normal voltage.

・External SBD open detect / Output short protection
In the case of external SBD is not connected to IC, or VOUT is shorted to GND, the coil or internal Tr may be destructed.
Therefore, at such an error as VDET becoming 0.05V or below, and turns off the output Tr, and prevents the coil and the IC
from being destructed.
And the IC changes from activation into non-activation, and current does not flow to the coil (0mA).
・Thermal shut down
This IC has thermal shut down function.
The thermal shut down works at 175℃ or higher, and the IC changes from activation into non-activation.
This section is especially mentioned here because the spec shown electrical characteristic is necessary to explain this
section.
Over voltage limit min 0.96V typ 1.00V max 1.04V
LED control voltage min 0.56V typ 0.70V max 0.84V
LED terminal over voltage protect min 10.0V typ 11.5 V max 13.0V
1. Calculate the conditions that the total value of LED VF is MAX.
Example) In the case of serial 8 LEDs with VF=2.9V(min), 3.2V(typ), 3.5V(max) => 3.5V x 8=28V
2. Then calculate the biggest value of output with the following formula.
The biggest value of output = the biggest value calculated for 1 + the biggest value of LED terminal voltage. (0.84V)
Example) The biggest value of output = 28V + 0.84V =28.84V
3. Set the smallest value of over voltage larger than the biggest value of output.
If over voltage is closer to the total value of VF, it could be occurred to detect over voltage by ripple, noise, and so on.
It is recommended that some margins should be left on the difference between over voltage and the total value of VF.
This time around 6% margin is placed.
Example) Against the biggest value of output = 28.84V, the smallest value of over voltage = 28.84V x 1.06 = 30.57V
Ic over voltage limit min=0.96V,typ=1.00V, max=1.04V
typ = 30.57V×(1.00V/0.96V) = 31.8V
max = 31.8V×(1.04V/1.00V) = 33.1V
4. The below shows how to control resistor setting over voltage
Please fix resistor 2.2MΩ between VDET and output and then set over voltage after changing resistor between VDET
and GND. While PWM is off, output voltage decreases by minimizing this resistor. Due to the decrease of output voltage,
ripple of output voltage increases, and singing of output condenser also becomes bigger.
Example) Selecting OVP resistor.
