Video Description

National's Chris Richardson talks about the challenges of automotive LED lighting and investigates solutions. Covered in this video are:

  • Challenges of automotive electrical systems including:
    • Load dump
    • Cold crank
  • Interior and backlighting
    • Single-chain series arrays
    • Series-parallel arrays
  • Architecture & tradeoffs
    • Advantages of using LED drivers versus standard DC-DC converters
    • Comparison of buck, boost, buck-boost, SEPIC, and flyback topologies
  • Exterior lighting
    • The "floating" buck boost
    • SEPIC regulators in automotive
    • Remote LED arrays and 2-wire PWM dimming
    • Reducing wiring harness costs
  • Using the LM340x, LM340xHV, LM342x, and LM3431 products in automotive lighting applications
