Design Description

These circuits are designed to drive a string of 2 InGaN LEDs or 3 AlInGaP LEDs in series (Vf total 6.6V) at a forward current of 470 mA to 500 mA with a peak-to-peak ripple current of 100 mA or less. The input is 10V to 30 and the switching frequency is 400 kHz +-10%.

This circuit is rated to withstand input voltage transients up to 40V.
