●Pin Function ○Pin 1: REG50

The REG pin is used in the DC/DC converter driver block to output 5V power. The maximum operating current is 5mA. Using the REG pin at a current higher than 5mA can affect the N pin output pulse, causing the IC to malfunction and leading to heat generation of the IC itself. To avoid this problem, it is recommended to make load setting to the minimum level.

○Pin 2:N

The N pin is used to output power to the external NMOS gate driver for the DC/DC converter in the amplitude range of approx. 0 to 5V. Frequency setting can be made with a resistor connected to the RT pin. For details of frequency setting, refer to the description of the ＜RT pin＞.

○Pin 3: PGND

The PGND pin is a power ground pin for the driver block of the N output pin.

○Pin 4: CS

CS pin is current detect for DC/DC current mode inductor current control pin.

Current flowing through the inductor is converted into voltage by the current sensing resistor RCS connected to the CS

pin and this voltage is compared with voltage set with the error amplifier to control the DC/DC output voltage.

The CS pin also incorporates the overcurrent protection (OCP) function. If the CS pin voltage reaches 0.4V (Typ.) or

more, switching operation will be forcedly stopped. In order to prevent the malfunction while OCP occurred in BD9479FV,it equipped with mask function.It mask OCP signal

within 200ns interval after N driver is outputted.

 Pin 5: OVP

The OVP pin is an input pin for overvoltage protection and short circuit protection of DC/DC output voltage.When voltage of it over 2.25V or higher,CP pin start to charge.When it over 2.5V(typ),it will control FB pin.When OVP pin voltage is near 2.5V,DCDC output feedback will controlled by OVP pin voltage. When OVP pin voltage<0.2V (typ.) or lower,short circuit protection (SCP) function is activated, and output of Gate driver will become low immediately.

 Pin 6: CP

CP pin which sets the time from detection of abnormality until shutdown (Timer latch).It charges constant current of 2.0uA to capacitor externally connected with CP pin and shuts down when it exceeds 2.5V(Typ.).

 Pin 7: LSP

LED Short detect voltage setting pin.When LSP=OPEN, LSP pin voltage is 0.9V( typ), the BSx pin of LED SHORT detect voltage is set to 9V. The 10 times of LSP pin voltage is the BSx pin LED SHORT protection detect voltage. Please set LSP pin input voltage range from 0.3V～3.0V.

 Pin 8 :STB

ON/OFF setting pin and allowed for use to reset the IC from shutdown.

※The IC state is switched (i.e., The IC is switched between ON and OFF state) according to voltages input in the STB pin. Avoid using the STB pin between two states (0.8 to 2.0V).

 Pin 9-16 :BS1-BS8

LED DRIVER output pin.Please connect to Base Terminal of external PNP Tr.

 Pin 17-24 :PWM1 – PWM8

ON/OFF terminal of LED driver pin.It inputs PWM dimming signal directly to adjust output DUTY dimming.

High/Low level of PWM terminal is shown as follows:

LED current detect pin.By monitoring voltage of CLx pin to detect LED current.Please connect resistor to collector pin of external PNP Tr.

 Pin 33 : VREF

LED current setting pin.1/3(typ) of applied voltage to VREF pin will be LED current feedback voltage, 2/3(typ.) of its voltage will be DCDC feedback voltage（the lowest BSx pin feedback voltage）. Basically, because hi accuracy of resistor divider is inputted to VREF pin externally, the IC internally will be OPEN（ High Impedance ）state.Please use external power to design it.It cannot be used in OPEN state.

 Pin 34 : FB

Current mode control DC/DC converter error amplifier output pin.By monitoring voltage of BS（1～8）pin, the highest Vf of LED column will set 2/3(typ.) of applied VREF voltage to BS pin voltage to control inductor current. The phase compensation setting has described separately. In addition, PWM pin will become High Impedance when all PWM signals are in low state, and will maintain FB voltage.

 Pin 35 : SS

The SS pin is used to set the soft start time and duty for soft start duration.SS pin normally sources 2.0uA (Typ.) of current.When STB pin become high, it wait for in any one PWMx signal from low to high.In start-up duration, SS will not charge because all PWMx pin are in low state. The BD9479FV has a built-in soft start startup circuit independent of PWM light modulation, and thereby raises FB voltage as SS pin voltage rises independent of the duty cycle range of PWM light modulation.Please pay attention to overshoot problem will occur while low duty is inputted to IC IN start-up duration.

 Pin 36 : RT

RT sets charge/discharge current determining frequency inside IC. Only a resistor connected to RT determines saw-tooth wave frequency inside IC. When RT=100,Frequency=150kHz(typ.).

For calculation example, please refer to section in “3.2.2 – DC/DC drive frequency setting”.

 Pin 37 : UVLO

UVLO pin of the coil of step-up DC/DC converter and the power for external NMOSFET. At 3.0 V (typ.) or higher, IC starts step-up operation and stops at 2.79V or lower (typ.). (It is not shutdown of IC.)

 Pin 38 : AGND

GND pin for analog system inside IC.

 Pin 39 : FAIL

FAIL signal indication output pin (Open Drain).In normal operation, FAIL pin is OPEN when STB=Low.When an abnormality is detected, CP starts to charge to external capacitance and then shutdown IC while it reach 2.5V or higher.NMOS ON is 50 ohm(typ.）when IC is shutdown.When VCC voltage is insufficient or UVLO pin voltage is lower, FAIL pin is also in open state.

●LED current setting (VREF pin, CLx pin)

Please decide VREF pin input voltage first.When Analog dimming is performed,

please be noted that VREF pin input voltage range is (0.6V ～ 3.0V), and decide the input voltage in normal operation.Basically, if VREF pin voltage is high, it will cause power dissipation of external PNP Tr become high, so it is preferred to set the VREF pin voltage lower.

Later, VREF＝0.9V will be set as basic.For example if you create 0.9V from REG50, it

is possible to use resistive divider by setting 82kohm and 18kohm.

In BD9479FV, the LED current detection is performed by CLx pin.CLx pin is controlled

so that the voltage of 1/3V(typ.) of VREF voltage.If VREF=0.9V, CLx=0.3V to control

external PNP Tr.Therefore,if 「R GND, and VREF pin voltage is set as 「V

below.

For current setting, set at each channel.For this reason, in 1ch～4ch and 5ch～8ch, it

is possible to change current by setting 「R

●DCDC operation frequency setting (RT Pin)

If DCDC frequency is set to be 200kHz, RRT as below:

●Maximum DCDC output Voltage

In BD9479FV, the voltage of BSx pin is depending on VREF pin voltage.The maximum voltage of VREF pin（VREF＝

3.0V）, the voltage of BSx pin will become 2.0V（2/3 of VREF voltage ）.

The maximum voltage of DCDC output will have be vary with 1.6V while Analog dimming is performed (2/3 of 3.0V -

0.6V).

●Soft Start Time setting (SS Pin)

The start-up time of DCDC output is adjusted by condenser which connected to SS pin.its performs constant current charge of 2.0uA to the external capacitor connected with SS pin, and the each protection and CP charge function will not activated before SS pin reaches to 4.0V. （soft start time set here is mask time of CP charge, please pay attention to it is different from the time to stabilize DCDC

output.The time to stabilize DCDC output is largely depending on step-up ratio and load condition.） The soft start time「T

●Start-up and soft start (SS) capacitance setting

The following describes the start-up sequence of this IC.

○Description of start-up sequence

①Set STB from Low to High ②System will be activated while PWM=H.SS start to charge.

At this time, a circuit in which SS pin voltage for slow start becomes equal to FB pin voltage operates to equalize the FB pin and SS pin voltages regardless of whether the PWM pin is set to Low or High l eve.

③Since the FB pin and SS pin reach the lower limit of the internal sawtooth wave of the IC, the DC/DC converter

operates to start VOUT voltage rising.

④The Vout voltage continues rising to reach a voltage at which LED current starts flowing. ⑤When the LED current reaches the amount of current, isolate the FB circuit from the SS circuit. With this, the

startup operation is completed.

⑥After that, normal operation is controlled by following the feedback voltage of LED pins.

If the SS pin voltage reaches 4V or higher, the LED protection function will be activated to forcedly end the SS and FB equalizing circuit.

○SS capacitance setting procedure

As mentioned above, this IC stops DC/DC converter when the PWM pin is set to Low level.conducts step-upoperation only in the section in which the PWM pin is maintained at High level. Consequently, setting the PWM duty cycle to the minimum will extend the start-up time.In addition, start-up time also varies with application of output capacitance selection, LED current, output voltage, and others.

Start-up time at minimum duty cycle can be approximated according to the following method.First, measure the start-up time of VOUT with a 100% DUTY and take this value as Trise_100.The startup time “Trise_min” for the relevant application with the minimum duty cycle is given by the following equation.

However, this calculation method is just for approximation, use it only as a reference.

Please set a time「T

Assuming that the FB pin voltage is VFB, the time is given by the following equation:

rise

As a result, it is recommended to make SS capacitance setting so that “TDCDCSS” will be longer than “Trise_min”

●UVLO setting procedure

It is UVLO function for the DC/DC converter power supply.If its voltage reaches 3.0V (Typ.) or higher, the IC will start step-up operation. If it reaches 2.79V (Typ.) or less, the IC will stop the step-up operation.The UVLO pin is the high impedance type and involves no pull-down resistor, resulting in unstable operation in the open-circuited state. Avoid this problem, please make sure to input voltage by using resistor divider or otherwise. If the VIN pin voltage to be detected is set by resistor divider R1 and R2 as described below, resistance setting will be made by the following equation:

●OVP/SCP setting procedure (OVP Pin)

There are two type of over voltage protection in BD9479FV.The one is OVP detection, another is OVP feedback.

Basically, the CP pin start to charge when OVP pin voltage higher than 2.25V.when OVP pin voltage is between 2.25V with

2.5V, the operation of DCDC is continued and CP start to charge only.When OVP pin voltage reaches 2.5V, until then the feedback voltage control will be switch from BSｘ pin to

OVP pin（please refer to below figure）.For this reason, its prevent the voltage of OVP pin become 2.5V or higher when LED column has closed with impendence causing the rising of DCDC voltage.

OVP pin is also used for feedback control, please noted that not only the resistor divider of monitoring normal voltage,

but also the external CR of phase compensation is needed.Basically, it is needed to aligned with the feedback gain to LED driver section.If R3 is same as R2（1k～10kΩ）, the breakdown voltage of C which connected to it should be confirmed first （And in series of two or more if necessary）, about 0.1uF is assumed and need to be decided in real system.

The following section describes setting procedures to be followed if the VOUT pin voltage to be detected is setby the

use of resistive dividers R1 and R2.

○OVP detection setting equation

Assuming that voltage of VOUT rising abnormally and detecting OVP is “VOVP the following equation.

○LSP setting procedure

Below equation shows how to calculate the detection voltage of VLSP by using R1,R2 resistor divide which connect to

REG50 voltage.

However, this equation is without considering IC resistance. If internal resistance is taken into account, the detection

voltage VLSP will be given by the following equation:

Please set R1 and R2 resistance so that a difference between resistance values found by Equations (1) and (2) will come

to approximately 2% or less as a reference.

【Setting example】

Assuming that LSP is approximated by Equation (1) in order to set LSP detection voltage to 5V, R1 comes to 45k

and R2 comes to 5k.

When calculating LSP detection voltage taking into account internal IC resistance by Equation (2), it will be given as:

●OCP setting / DCDC component current tolerance selection guide

The OCP detection function that is one of the functions of the CS pin will stop the DC/DC converter operating ifthe CS pin voltage becomes larger than 0.4V.Consequently, it is needed to calculate a peak current flowing through the coil L and then review the resistance of RCS.Furthermore, a current tolerance for DC/DC components should be larger than that for peak current flowing through the coil L.The following describes the peak coil current calculation procedure, CS pin connection resistor RCS selection procedure, and DC/DC component current tolerance selection procedure .

○Peak coil current Ipeak calculation

Ripple voltage generated at the CS pin is determined by conditions for DC/DC application components first, Assuming the conditions as below:

「output voltage=VOUT[V] 」「LED total current=IOUT[A] 」「DCDC input voltage=VIN[V] 」「DCDC efficiency=η[%] 」

And then mean input current IIN required for the whole system is given by the following equation.

Further, according to drive operation with the DC/DC converter switching frequency fsw [Hz], inductor ripple current ΔIL [A] generated at the inductor L (or H) is given by the following equation.

As a result, the peak current Ipeak of IL is given by the following

equation.

○CS pin connection resistor RCS selection procedure

The current Ipeak flows into RCS to generate voltage.（See the

timing chart shown to the right）The voltage VCSpeak is given by the following equation.

If VCSpeak voltage reaches 0.4V, DC/DC output will stop.Consequently, to select RCS resistance, the following condition should be met.

○DC/DC component current tolerance selection procedure Iocp current needed for OCP detection voltage CS to reach 0.4V is given by the following equation:

The relation among Ipeak current (Equation (1)), Iocp current (Equation (2)), and Maximum current tolerance for component should meet the following equation.

Mean input current IIN required for the whole system is given by the following equation:

DCDC switching frequency=fsw[Hz]=200kHz Inductor [H]=33μH

The inductor ripple current ΔIL [A] is given by the following equation:

As a result, the peak current Ipeak of IL is given by the following equation.

When RCS resistance is set to 0.1ohm, the VCS peak voltage will be given by the following equation:

Consequently, the result meets the condition.

Furthermore, I

So must select the component of about 5A in order to meet the above result.

Particularly, To select DC/DC components, give consideration to IC variations as well as individual component variations, and then conduct thorough verification on practical systems..

●Operational Notes

1) We pay utmost attention to the quality control of this product. However, if it exceeds the absolute maximum ratings including applied voltage and operating temperature range, it may lead to its deterioration or breakdown. Further, this makes it impossible to assume a breakdown state such as short or open circuit mode. If any special mode to exceed the absolute maximum ratings is assumed, consider adding physical safety measures such as fuses.

2) Making a reverse connection of the power supply connector can cause the IC to break down. To protect the IC form breakdown due to reverse connection, take preventive measures such as inserting a diode between the external power supply and the power supply pin of the IC.

3) Since current regenerated by back electromotive force flows back, take preventive measures such as inserting a capacitor between the power supply and the ground as a path of the regenerative current and fully ensure that capacitance presents no problems with characteristics such as lack of capacitance of electrolytic capacitors causes at low temperatures, and then determine the power supply line. Provide thermal design having an adequate margin in consideration of power dissipation (Pd) in the practical operating conditions.

4) The potential of the GND pin should be maintained at the minimum level in any operating state.

5) Provide thermal design having an adequate margin in consideration of power dissipation (Pd) in the practical operating conditions.

6) To mount the IC on a printed circuit board, pay utmost attention to the direction and displacement of the IC. Furthermore, the IC may get damaged if it is mounted in an erroneous manner or if a short circuit is established due to foreign matters entered between output pins or between output pin and power supply GND pin.

7) Note that using this IC in strong magnetic field may cause it to malfunction.

8) This IC has a built-in thermal-protection circuit (TSD circuit), which is designed to be activated if the IC junction temperature reached 150C to 200C and deactivated with hysteresis of 10C or more. The thermal-protection circuit (TSD circuit) is a circuit absolutely intended to protect the IC from thermal runaway, not intended to protect or guarantee the IC. Consequently, do not use the IC based on the activation of this TSD circuit for subsequent continuous use and operation of the IC.

9) When testing the IC on a set board with a capacitor connected to the pin, the IC can be subjected to stress. In this case, be sure to discharge the capacitor for each process. In addition, to connect the IC to a jig up to the testing process, be sure to turn OFF the power supply prior to connection, and disconnect the jig only after turning OFF the power supply.

10) This monolithic IC contains P  Isolation and P substrate layers between adjacent elements in order to keep them isolated. P-N junctions are formed at the intersections of these P layers and the N layers of other elements, thus making up different types of parasitic elements. For example, if a resistor and a transistor is connected with pins respectively as shown in Fig. When GND(Pin A) for the resistor, or when GND(Pin B) for the transistor (NPN), P-N junctions operate as a parasitic diode. When GND(Pin B) for the transistor (NPN), the parasitic NPN transistor operates by the N layer of other element adjacent to the parasitic diode aforementioned. Due to the structure of the IC, parasitic elements are inevitably formed depending on the relationships of potential. The operation of parasitic diodes can result in interferences in circuit operation, leading to malfunctions and eventually breakdown of the IC. Consequently, pay utmost attention not to use the IC for any applications by which the parasitic elements are operated, such as applying a voltage lower than that of GND (P substrate) to the input pin.

2. ROHM designs and manufactures its Products subject to strict quality control system. However, semiconductor products can fail or malfunction at a certain rate. Please be sure to implement, at your own responsibilities, adequate safety measures including but not limited to fail-safe design against the physical injury, damage to any propert y, which a failure or malfunction of our Products may cause. The following are examples of safety measures:

[a] Installation of protection circuits or other protective devices to improve system safety [b] Installation of redundant circuits to reduce the impact of single or multiple circuit failure

3. Our Products are designed and manufactured for use under standard conditions and not under any special or extraordinary environments or conditions, as exemplified below. Accordingly, ROHM shall not be in any way responsible or liable for any damages, expenses or losses arising from the use of any ROHM’s Products under any special or extraordinary environments or conditions. If you intend to use our Products under any special or extraordinary environments or conditions (as exemplified below), your independent verification and confirmation of product performance, reliability, etc, prior to use, must be necessary:

[a] Use of our Products in any types of liquid, including water, oils, chemicals, and organic solvents [b] Use of our Products outdoors or in places where the Products are exposed to direct sunlight or dust [c] Use of our Products in places where the Products are exposed to sea wind or corrosive gases, including Cl

2S, NH3, SO2, and NO2

H [d] Use of our Products in places where the Products are exposed to static electricity or electromagnetic waves [e] Use of our Products in proximity to heat-producing components, plastic cords, or other flammable items [f] Sealing or coating our Products with resin or other coating materials [g] Use of our Products without cleaning residue of flux (even if you use no-clean type fluxes, cleaning residue of

flux is recommended); or Washing our Products by using water or water-soluble cleaning agents for cleaning residue after soldering

[h] Use of the Products in places subject to dew condensation

4. The Products are not subject to radiation-proof design.

5. Please verify and confirm characteristics of the final or mounted products in using the Products.

6. In particular, if a transient load (a large amount of load applied in a s hort period of time, such as pulse. is applied, confirmation of performance characteristics after on-board mounting is strongly recomm ended. Avoid applying power exceeding normal rated power; exceeding the power ratin g under steady-state loading condition may negatively affect product performance and reliability.

7. De-rate Power Dissipation (Pd) depending on Ambient temperature (Ta). When used in sealed area, confirm the actual ambient temperature.

8. Confirm that operation temperature is within the specified range described in the product specification.

9. ROHM shall not be in any way responsible or liable for failure induced under deviant condition from what is defined in this document.

Precaution for Mounting / Circuit board design

1. When a highl y active halogen ous (chlori ne, bromin e, etc.) flux is used, the residue of flux ma y negatively affect product performance and reliability.

2. In principle, the reflow soldering method must be used on a surface-mount products, the flow soldering method must be used on a through hole mount products. If the flow soldering method is preferred on a surface-mount prod ucts, please consult with the ROHM representative in advance.

For details, please refer to ROHM Mounting specification
