  • Description

    The LM3464/64A is a 4-channel high voltage current regulator that provides a simple solution for LED lighting applications. The LM3464/64A provides four individual current regulator channels and works in conjunction with external N-channel MOSFETs and sense resistors to give accurate driving current for every LED string. Additionally, the Dynamic Headroom Control (DHC) output can be interfaced to the external power supply to adjust the LED supply voltage to the lowest level that is adequate to maintain all the string currents in regulation, yielding the optimal overall efficiency.

    Digital PWM or analog voltage signals can be used to control the duty cycle of the all the channels. When analog control is used, the dimming frequency can be programmed via an external capacitor. A minimum duty cycle control is provided in the conditions that the analog dimming is configured as thermal feedback.

    Protection features include VIN under-voltage lock-out, LED open/short circuit and over-temperature fault signaling to the system controller.

    This evaluation board consists of a National Semiconductor LM5021 based 120Vac 24W AC/DC flyback converter and a LM3464 based dynamic head room control (DHC) four channel LED driver IC. This demonstration platform was developed so that the customers could evaluate the LM3464 with an AC/DC supply. Once familiar with the operation of the LM3464 and its control of the AC/DC converter`s control loop, the type of AC/DC power supply and the converter`s output power becomes less relevant. The evaluation board contains eight CREE XLamp MC-E LEDs. Each XLamp MC-E LED has four separate LEDs in each package for a total of 32 LEDs. The CREE MC-E LED allows for an easy demonstration of the LM3464 four channel operation with eight packaged LEDs. each LED string is regulated to 200 mA. A heat sink is mounted on the back of the PCB to dissipate the heat generated by the LEDs.

    The LM3464 is a linear LED driver with Dynamic Headroom Control (DHC) technology designed to drive four serial high power / high brightness LED strings. Four individual linear current regulators with low-side N-channel MOSFETs realize regulations of LED currents. The DHC optimizes system efficiency automatically while maintaining stable and accurate LED currents. The LM3464 includes a voltage regulator for powering the internal circuits that operates over wide input range of 12V to 80V, eases the design of driver stage for different source voltage. The Thermal foldback feature is designed to prolong the lifetime of the LEDs by reducing the average LED current for applications with high ambient temperature. The LM3464 features a fault handling circuit that avoids system failure due to accidentally short or open circuit of LED strings. Two or more LM3464 can be cascaded to expand the number of output channels, enabling flexible system architectural design.

    This evaluation board demonstrates the system efficiency and LED current regulation accuracy of the LM3464 LED driver typical application circuit as a 50W LED lighting system.
