A80602 and A80602-1
High Power LED Driver with Pre-Emptive Boost
for Ultra-High Dimming Ratio and Low Output Ripple
FEATURES AND BENEFITS
DESCRIPTION
The A80602 is a multi-output LED driver for automotive
applicationssuchasexteriorlighting,heads-updisplay,andmid-
size LCD backlighting. It implements a current-mode boost/
SEPICconverterwithgatedriverforexternalN-MOSFET.This
allows greater output power even at minimum supply voltage.
• Automotive AEC-Q100 qualified
• Enhanced fault handling for ASIL B system compliance
• Wide input voltage range of 4.5 to 40 V for start/stop,
cold crank, and load dump requirements
• Operate in Boost or SEPIC mode for flexible output
• Gate driver for external NMOS to deliver higher output power
• Six integrated LED current sinks, up to 140 mA each
• Boost switching frequency synced externally or
programmed from 200 kHz to 2.3 MHz
• Programmable boost frequency dithering to reduce EMI
• Advanced control allows minimum PWM on-time down
to 0.3 µs, and avoids MLCC audible noises
• LED contrast ratio: 15,000:1 at 200 Hz using PWM
dimming alone, 150,000:1 when combining PWM and
analog dimming
TheA80602 provides six integrated current sinks driving up to
140 mAper string. Multiple sinks can be paralleled together to
achieve higher LED currents up to 840 mA. The IC operates
from single power supply from 4.5 to 40 V; once started, it can
continue to operate down to 4 V. This allows it to withstand
stop/start, cold crank, and load dump conditions encountered
in automotive systems.

DESCRIPTION (continued)
Switchingfrequencycanbeexternallysynchronizedorprogrammed
between 200 kHz and 2.3 MHz. This allows operation either above
or below the AM band. A programmable dithering feature further
reduces EMI.
The A80602 provides protection against output short, overvoltage,
open- or shorted-LED pin, and overtemperature. A cycle-by-cycle
current limit protects the external boost switch against high current
overloads. An external P-MOSFET can optionally be used to
disconnect input supply in case of output to ground short fault. The
A80602-1 is similar toA80602 except it adopts ‘One-Out-All-Out’
fault handling (See Fault Table section for details).

Output of internal LDO (bias regulator). Connect a 1 µF decoupling capacitor between this pin and AGND. VDD is regulated at ~4.25 V.
LED current Ground. Also serves as ‘quiet’ ground for analog signals.
Output of the error amplifier and compensation node. Connect a series RZ-CZ network from this pin to AGND for control loop compensation.
Connect RISET resistor between this pin and AGND to set the 100% LED current.
Pre-Emptive Boost control: Connect resistor from PEB pin to AGND to fine-tune the delay between boost switch and LED current sinks.
Leave pin open for minimum PEB delay of 1 µs.

PEB
Dithering control: connect a capacitor to AGND to set the dithering modulation frequency (1 to 22 kHz). Connect a resistor between DITH and
FSET pins to set the dithering range (such as ±5% of fSW).
DITH
Frequency/synchronization pin. A resistor RFSET from this pin to AGND sets the switching frequency fSW (with dithering superimposed)
between 200 kHz and 2.3 MHz. It can also be used to synchronize fSW to an external frequency between 260 kHz and 2.3 MHz (frequency
dithering is disabled in this case).

FSET
ADIM
Analog dimming. Apply a PWM clock (40 to 1000 kHz) to pin and the duty cycle of this clock determines the LED current. Alternatively, apply
DC level between 0.2 and 2 V to vary LED current between 10% and 100%. If unused, pull pin above 2 V for 100%.
Enables the IC when this pin is pulled high. It also controls the on/off state of LED current sinks to reduce the light intensity by using pulse
width modulation. Typical PWM dimming frequency is in the range of 200 Hz to 2 kHz. When this pin is pulled low, the IC remains in standby
mode for up to 16 ms, then shuts down completely.

To drive an output load with more than 11 white LEDs in series, the above application circuit can be
used. The cascode transistors Q3..Q8 limits LED1-6 pin voltages to VDRV – VT, even in case of LED
string direct short. (VT = threshold voltage of transistor, typically under 3 V).
The cascode transistors can be any small-signal N-channel MOSFET, rated for the maximum output
voltage and LED current per channel. As an example: consider T2N7002BK in SOT23 package. It is
rated for 60 V breakdown and 400 mA continuous current.

Figure 5: Two A80602-1 connected in Master/Slave Configuration to drive 140 mA × 12 LED strings
Remarks on Master-Slave configuration:
• Only one Slave to a Master.
• Master-Slave operation requires asymmetrical COMP (for example: source = –700 µA and
sink = 500 µA). This is available in A80602-1 only.
• Also requires bidirectional FAULT pin of A80602-1, so that the slave can halt the switching of master.

A80602 and
A80602-1
High Power LED Driver with Pre-Emptive Boost
for Ultra-High Dimming Ratio and Low Output Ripple
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The A80602 is a multi-string LED regulator with six preci-
sion current sinks and a gate driver for external boost MOSFET
switch. It incorporates a patented Pre-Emptive Boost (PEB)
control algorithm to achieve PWM dimming ratio over 15,000:1
at 200 Hz. PEB control also minimizes output ripple to avoid
audible noise from output ceramic capacitors.
Only if no faults were detected, then the IC can proceed to start
switching.
During operation, the EN/PWM pin can be toggled to control the
brightness of LEDs channels by using PWM dimming. If EN/
PWM is pulled Low for longer than 16ms, the IC shuts off.
The switching frequency can be either synchronized to an
external clock or generated internally. Spread-spectrum tech-
nique (with user-programmable dithering range and modulation
frequency) is provided to reduce EMI. A clock-out signal (CLK-
OUT) allows other converters to be synchronized to the switching
frequency of A80602.
Enabling the IC
The A80602 wakes up when EN/PWM pin is pulled above logic
high level, provided that VIN pin voltage is over the VIN_UVLO
threshold. The boost stage and LED channels are enabled sepa-
rately by PWM = H signal after the IC powers up.
The IC performs a series of safety checks at power up, to deter-
mine if there are possible fault conditions that might prevent the
system from functioning correctly. Power-up checks include:

and ISET.
• VOUT shorted to GND
• LED pin shorted to GND
• FSET pin open/shorted

A80602-1
High Power LED Driver with Pre-Emptive Boost
for Ultra-High Dimming Ratio and Low Output Ripple
Unused LED pins should be terminated with a resistor to GND.
Powering Up: LED Detection Phase
Value of this termination resistor is 4.75 kΩ for channel 1, 3, 4, 6;
or 2.37 kΩ for channel 2, 5. At the end of LED detection phase,
any channel with pull-down resistor is then disabled and will not
contribute to the boost regulation loop.
The VIN pin has an undervoltage lockout (UVLO) function that
prevents the A80602 from powering up until the UVLO threshold is
reached. Once the VIN pin goes above UVLO and a high signal is
present on the EN pin, the IC proceeds to power up. At this point, the
A80602 is going to enable the disconnect switch and will try to check
if any LED pins are shorted to GND and/or are not used. The LED
detection phase starts when the GATE voltage of the input disconnect
PMOS switch is pulled down to 3.3 V below VIN.

High Power LED Driver with Pre-Emptive Boost
for Ultra-High Dimming Ratio and Low Output Ripple
If an LED pin is shorted to ground, the A80602 will not proceed
with soft start until the short is removed from the LED pin. This
prevents the A80602 from ramping up the output voltage and put-
ting an uncontrolled amount of current through the LEDs.
The FAULT pin is pulled low in case of LED pin shorted-to-GND
fault, but the IC continues to retry. Once the fault is removed, the
soft-start process will continue. The same applies in case of FSET
or ISET pin is shorted to GND.

Voltage = 26.5 V (8× LED). Total LED current = 100 mA × 6.

This is illustrated by the following startup timing diagram (not to
scale):
Power Up: Boost Output Undervoltage
During startup, after the input disconnect switch has been
enabled, the output voltage is checked through the OVP (over-
voltage protection) pin. If the sensed voltage does not rise above
VUVP(th), the output is assumed to be at fault and the IC will not
proceed with soft start. Output UVP level is linked to the OVP
level programmed according to the equation:

After an UVP (undervoltage protection) fault, the A80602 is

the latched fault must be cleared. This can be achieved by
powering-cycling the IC, which means either:

Figure 12: Complete startup process of A80602
Explanation of Events:
Alternatively, latched fault can be cleared by keeping EN = H but
pulling PWM = L for >16 ms. This method has the advantage that
it does not interrupt the CLKOUT signal.
A: EN = H wakes up the IC. VDD ramps up and CLKOUT
becomes available. IC starts to pull down GATE slowly.
Soft Start Function
B: When GATE is pulled down to 3.3 V below VIN, ISET becomes
enabled. IC is now waiting for PWM = H to startup.
During startup, the A80602 ramps up its boost output voltage
following a fixed slope, as determined by OVP set point and Soft-
Start Timer. This technique limits the input inrush current, and
ensures consistent startup time regardless of the PWM dimming
duty cycle.
C: Once PWM = H, the IC checks each LEDx pins to determine
if it is in use, disabled, or shorted to GND.
D: Soft-Start begins at the completion of LED pin short-detect
phase of ~1.5 ms. VOUT ramps up following a fixed slope set by
OVP and soft-start timer of ~8 ms.
The soft-start process is completed when any one of the follow-
ing conditions is met:
E: Soft-start terminates when all LED currents reached regula-
• All enabled LED channels have reached their regulation
current,
tion, VOUT reached 93% OVP, or soft-start timer expired.
• Output voltage has reached 93% of its OVP threshold, or
• Soft-start ramp time (tSS) has expired.
To summarize, the complete startup process of A80602 consists
of:
• Power-up error checking
• Enabling input disconnect switch
• LED pin open/short detection
• Soft-start ramp

Based on the above, any clock with a duty cycle between 33%

quencies.

Alternatively, the following empirical formula can be used:
If it is necessary to switch over between internal oscillator and
external sync during operation, ensure the transition takes place
at least 500 ns after the previous PWM = H rising edge. Alterna-
tively, execute the switchover during PWM = L only. This restric-
tion does not apply if PWM dimming is not being used.
Equation 1:
fSW = 21.5 / (RFSET + 0.2)
where fSW is in MHz and RFSET is in kΩ.
If a fault occurs during operation that will increase the switch-
ing frequency, the internal oscillator frequency is clamped to a
maximum of 3.5 MHz. If the FSET pin is shorted to GND, the
part will shut down. For more details, refer to the Fault Mode
Table section.

Synchronization
The A80602 can also be synchronized using an external clock.
At power up, if the FSET pin is held low, the IC will not start.
Only when the FSET pin is tristated to allow for the pin to rise to
about 1 V, or when a sync clock is detected, the A80602 will then
try to power up.

Suppose the A80602 started up with a valid external SYNC sig-

• If the external SYNC signal is high impedance (open), the
IC continues normal operation after approximately 5 μs, at
the switching frequency set by RFSET. No FAULT flag is
generated.
Figure 16: Countermeasure for
External Sync Stuck-at-Low Fault
• If the external SYNC signal is stuck low (shorted to ground),
the IC will detect an FSET-shorted-to-GND fault. FAULT
pin is pulled low after approximately 10 μs, and switching is
disabled. Once the FSET pin is released or SYNC signal is
detected again, the IC will proceed to soft-start.
It is important to use a small capacitance for the AC-coupling
capacitor (220 pF in the above example). If the capacitance is too
large, the IC may incorrectly declare a FSET-shorted-to-GND
fault and restart.
To prevent generating a fault when the external SYNC signal
is stuck at low, the circuit shown below can be used. When the
external SYNC signal goes low, the IC will continue to operate
normally at the switching frequency set by the RFSET. No FAULT
flag is generated.

To minimize the peak EMI spikes at switching frequency har-
monics, the A80602 offers the option of frequency dithering, or
spread-spectrum clocking. This feature simplifies the input filters
needed to meet the automotive CISPR 25 conducted and radiated
emission limits.

Dithering Range and Modulation Frequency
There are no hard limits on dithering range and modulation
frequency. As a general guideline, pick a dithering range between
±5% and 10%, with the modulation frequency between 1 kHz and
3 kHz. In practice, using a larger dithering range and/or higher
modulation frequency do not generate any noticeable benefits.
The dithering Range is given by the approximate equation:
Equation 3:
Range (±%) = 20 × RFSET / RDITH
where RFSET is the resistor from FSET pin to GND, RDITH is
the resistor between DITH and FSET pins.
If dithering function is not desired, it can be disabled by discon-
necting the RDITH between DITH and FSET pins. Connect DITH
pin to VDD if CDITH is not populated. Dithering is always dis-
abled when fSW is controlled by external sync. RDITH and CDITH
have no effects in this case even if they were populated.
As an example, by using RFSET = 10 kΩ, RDITH = 40.1 kΩ,
and CDITH = 22 nF, the resulted switching frequency is fSW
2.15 MHz ±5% modulated at 1.1 kHz. This is illustrated by the
following diagram.

High Power LED Driver with Pre-Emptive Boost
for Ultra-High Dimming Ratio and Low Output Ripple
LED Current Setting
The maximum LED current can be up to 140 mA per channel,
and is set through the ISET pin. Connect a resistor RISET between
this pin and GND. The relation between ILED and RISET is given
below:
Equation 4:
ILED = ISET × AISET
ISET = VISET / RISET
Therefore RISET = (VISET × AISET ) / ILED
= 963 / ILED
where ILED current is in mA and RISET is in kΩ.
This sets the maximum current through the LEDs, referred to
as the ‘100% current’. The average LED current can be reduced
from the 100% current level by using either PWM dimming or
analog dimming.
Figure 18: PWM dimming operation at 20% 1 kHz. CH1 = PWM (5 V/
div), CH2 = SW (20 V/div), CH3 = VOUT, CH4 = iLED (200 mA/div).
By using the patented Pre-Emptive Boost (PEB) control algo-
rithm, the A80602 is able to achieve minimum PWM dimming
on-time down to 300 ns. This translates to PWM dimming ratio
up to 15,000:1 at the PWM dimming frequency of 200 Hz. Tech-
nical details on PEB will be explained in the next section.

PWM Dimming
When the EN/PWM pin is pulled high, the A80602 turns on all
enabled LED current sinks. When it is pulled low, all LED cur-
rent sinks are turned off. By changing the duty cycle of PWM
signal, the average LED current (and hence brightness) can be
accurately controlled.
During PWM = L, the IC floats the compensation (COMP) pin
and waits for the next PWM rising edge. But if PWM stays Low
longer than tEN(OFF) duration (16 ms typical), the IC shuts off
completely.
Figure 19: Zoom in view for PWM on-time = 10 µs. Notice that the
LED current is shifted with respect to PWM signal. Ripple at VOUT
is ~0.2 V when using 2 × 4.7 µF MLCC as output capacitors.

CH1 (Yellow) = PWM (5 V/div); CH2 (Red) = Inductor current
(500 mA/div); CH3 (Blue) = VOUT (1 V/div); CH4 (Green) =
LED current (200 mA/div); time scale = 2 µs/div.
Figure 20: Zoom-in view showing A80602 is able to regulate LED
current at PWM on-time down to 300 ns.
The typical PWM dimming frequencies fall between 200 Hz and
1 kHz. There is no hard limit on the highest PWM dimming fre-
quency that can be used. However at higher PWM frequency, the
maximum PWM dimming ratio will be reduced. This is shown in
the following table:
Figure 21: Traditional PWM Dimming operation where boost switch
and LED current are enabled at the same time. Note that VOUT
shows overall ripple of ~0.5 V
When PWM signal goes high, a conventional LED driver turns
on its boost switching at the time with LED current sinks. The
problem is that the inductor current takes several switching cycles
to ramp up to its steady-state value before it can deliver full
power to the output load. During the first few cycles, energy to
the LED load is mainly supplied by the output capacitor, which
results in noticeable dip in output voltage.

Pre-Emptive Boost
The basic principle of pre-emptive boost (PEB) can be best
explained by the following two waveforms. The first one shows
how a conventional LED driver operates during PWM dimming
operation. The second one shows that of the A80602.
Common test conditions for both cases:
PWM = 1% at 1 kHz (on-time = 10 µs), fSW = 2.15 MHz,
L = 10 µH, VIN = 12 V, LED load = 8 series (VOUT = ~25 V)
at 100 mA × 4. COUT = 2 × 4.7 µF 50 V 1210 MLCC.
COMP: RZ = 280 Ω, CZ = 68 nF.

A80602-1
High Power LED Driver with Pre-Emptive Boost
for Ultra-High Dimming Ratio and Low Output Ripple
In the A80602, the boost switch is also enabled when PWM goes
high. However, the LED current is not turned on until after a
short delay of tPEB. This allows the inductor current to build up
before it starts to deliver the full power to LED load. During the
pre-boost period, VOUT actually bumps up very slightly, while
the following dip is essentially eliminated. When PWM goes low,
both boost switching and LED remains active for the same delay
of tPEB. Therefore the PWM on-time is preserved in LED current.
Analog Dimming
The peak (100%) level of LED current is set by the RISET resistor.
The actual peak LED current may also be adjusted continuously
from approximately 10% up to 100%, by using the ADIM pin.
There are two methods to do so:
1. In ADIM mode: apply a DC voltage between 0.2 V and 2 V
at the pin.
PEB delay can be programmed using an external resistor, RPEB
from PEB pin to GND. Their relationship is shown in the follow-
ing chart:
,
2. In APWM mode: apply a clock signal with duty cycle be-
tween 90% and 0% at the pin.

An analog voltage is applied at the ADIM/APMW pin. This DC

Ideally, tPEB is equal to the inductor current ramp up time. But the
latter is affected by many external parameters, such as switching
frequency, inductance, VIN and VOUT ratio, etc. Therefore, some
experimentation is required to optimize the PEB delay time. In
general for switching frequency at 2 MHz, tPEB = 2.5 to 4 µs is a
good starting point.

The advantage of PEB is that even a non-optimized delay time
can significantly reduce the output ripple voltage compared to a
conventional LED driver.
There is an internal pull-down resistor (50 kΩ typical) from
ADIM pin to GND. When this pin is left floating, LED current
is actually being dimmed down to ~10%. Therefore, if analog
dimming is not required, the ADIM pin should be pulled to over
2 V (but below VDD) to ensure 100% LED current. One simple
technique is to pull up ADIM to VDD through a 30 kΩ resistor.

APWM MODE
When a clock signal is detected at ADIM pin, the A80602 goes
into APWM mode. The typical APWM signal frequency is
between 40 kHz and 1 MHz. The duty cycle of this signal is
inversely proportional to the percentage of current delivered to
the LED. The relationship is shown below:

As an example, a system that delivers a full LED current of
100 mA per channel would deliver 75 mA when an APWM signal
with a duty-cycle of 25% is applied (because analog dimming
level is 100% – 25% = 75%). This is demonstrated by the fol-
lowing waveforms (only LED channels 1 to 4 are enabled).

High Power LED Driver with Pre-Emptive Boost

One popular application of analog dimming is for LED brightness The net result of using both PWM and APWM is 100,000:1 dim-
calibration, commonly known as ‘LED Binning’. LEDs from
the same manufacturer and series are often grouped into differ-
ent ‘bins’ according to their light efficacy (lumens per watt). It is
therefore necessary to calibrate the ‘100% current’ for each LED
bin, in order to achieve uniform luminosity.
ming ratio, as shown in the chart below:

To use ADIM pin as a trim function, the user should first set the
100% current based on efficacy of LED from the lowest bin.
When using LED with higher efficacy, the required current is then
trimmed down to the appropriate level using APWM duty cycle.

As an example, assume that:
0.1
• LED from lowest bin has an efficacy of 80 lm/W
• LED highest bin has an efficacy of 120 lm/W

Suppose the maximum LED current was set at 100 mA based
on LEDs from lowest bin. When using LEDs from highest bin,
the current should then be reduces to 67% (80/120). This can be
achieved by sending APWM clock with 33% duty cycle.

Extending LED Dimming Ratio
The dynamic range of LED brightness can be further extended,
by using a combination of PWM duty cycle, APWM duty cycle,
and analog dimming method.
Figure 28: How to achieve 100,000:1 dimming ratio by using both
PWM and APWM. Test conditions: VIN = 12 V, VOUT = 25 V (8 ×
WLED), total LED current = 400 mA, PWM frequency = 200 Hz,
APWM frequency = 100 kHz.
For example, the following approach can be used to achieve a
100,000:1 dimming ratio at 200 Hz:
Note that the A80602 is capable of providing analog dimming
range greater than 10:1. By applying APWM with 96% duty
cycle, for example, an analog dimming range of 25:1 can be
achieved. However, this requires the external APWM signal
source to have very fine pulse-width resolution. At 200 kHz
APWM frequency, a resolution of 50 ns is required to adjust its
duty cycle by 1%.
• Vary PWM duty cycle from 100% down to 0.01% to give
10,000:1 dimming. This requires PWM dimming on-time be
reduced down to 0.5 µs.
• With PWM dimming on-time fixed at 0.5 µs, reduce peak
LED current from 100% down to 10%. This can be achieved
by either:
□ Apply a clock signal at APWM pin, and vary its duty cycle
from 0% to 90%, or
□ Apply a DC voltage at APWM pin, and vary its level from
2 V down to 0.2 V.

In the following application example, the thermistor used is NTC-

S0805E3684JXT (680 kΩ @ 25°C). R1 = 336 kΩ, R2 = 20 kΩ,
and R3 = 8.45 kΩ. The LED current per channel is reduced from
97 mA at 25°C to 34 mA at 125°C.
Besides using ADIM pin, the LED current can also be reduced
by using an external voltage source applied through a resistor
to the ISET pin. The dynamic range of this type of dimming is
dependent on the ISET pin current. The recommended iSET range
is from 20 µA to 144 µA for the A80602. Note that the IC will
continue to work at iSET below 20 µA, but the relative error in
LED current becomes larger at lower dimming level.

VDD
Shutdown
The VDD pin provides regulated bias supply for internal circuits.
Connect a CVDD capacitor with a value of 1 μF or greater to this
pin. The internal LDO can deliver up to 2 mA of current with a
typical VDD voltage of about 4.25 V. This allows it to serve as
the pull up voltage for FAULT pin.
If the EN/PWM pin is pulled low for longer than tEN(OFF)
(~16 ms), the A80602 enters shutdown (sleep mode). The next
time the EN/PWM pin goes high, all internal fault registers are
cleared. The IC needs to go through a complete soft start process
after PWM goes high.
VDRV
The VDRV pin provides a regulated gate driver supply for
external boost power MOSFET. Connect a CVDRV capacitor with
a typical value of 2.2 μF to this pin. The gate driver can deliver
up to 2 A of peak sink and source current, with a typical VDRV
voltage of 6.5 V. However, its average output current is limited to
approximately 36 mA. Note that average gate driver current is:
Equation 6:
iVDRV = fSW × QG
where fSW is the switching frequency and QG is the total gate
charge of the power MOSFET for VGS = 0 to 6.5 V.
At higher switching frequency, it is important to select a power
MOSFET with low QG to limit the average gate driver current.
Refer to the appendix section for details on MOSFET selection.

The FAULT pin is an open-drain output that will be pulled low
when a fault occurs. A pull-up resistor (typically around 10 kΩ) is
required between this pin and desired logic level voltage (typi-
cally 3.3 to 5 V). Multiple devices with open-drain FAULT pins
can be connected in parallel to form a wired-AND configuration.
This way, when any device reports a fault, the system FAULT
signal is pulled low.

High Power LED Driver with Pre-Emptive Boost
for Ultra-High Dimming Ratio and Low Output Ripple
For A80602, the FAULT pin is pulled low in case any LED
LED String Partial-Short Detect
string is directly or partially shorted. The suspect LED string is
disabled, while the rest of the LED strings continue to operate.
FAULT pin is latched at low until it is reset by either EN = L or
PWM = L for >16 ms
All LED current sink pins (LED1 to LED6) are designed to with-
stand the maximum output voltage, as specified in the Absolute
Maximum Ratings table. This prevents the IC from being dam-
aged if VOUT is directly applied to an LED pin due to an output
connector short.
For A80602-1, all LED strings are turned off in case any LED
string has detected a partial short. FAULT pin is latched at low
until the IC is reset.
In case of direct-short or partial-shorted fault in any LED string dur-
ing operation, the LED pin with voltage exceeding VLEDSD will be
removed from regulation. This prevents the IC from dissipating too
much power due to large voltage drop across the LED current sink.

partial-short fault (6 × WLED instead of 8). As soon as LED2 pin rises
above VLEDSD (~5 V), the channel is disabled but FAULT remains High.

At least one LED pin must be at regulation voltage (below

could happen when the input voltage rises too high for the LED
strings), they will continue to operate normally.

Overvoltage Protection
The A80602 offers a programmable output overvoltage protection
(OVP). The OVP pin has a threshold level of 2.5 V typical. Overvolt-
age protection is tripped when current into this pin exceeds ~150 µA.
A resistor can be used to set the OVP threshold up to 40 V approxi-
mately. This is sufficient for driving 11 white LEDs in series.
The formula for calculating the OVP resistor is shown below:
Equation 7:
ROVP = (VOVP – VOVP(th)) / iOVP(th)
where VOVP is the desired OVP threshold, VOVP(th) = 2.5 V
typical, iOVP(th) = 150 µA typical.
To determine the desired OVP threshold, take the maximum LED
string voltage at cold and add ~10% margin on top of it.
Figure 38: A80602 startup with LED2 string open. VOUT hits OVP at
~30 V and LED2 is removed from regulation. FAULT pin goes Low
but remaining LED strings continue to operate.
The OVP event is not a latched fault and, by itself, does not pull
the FAULT pin to low. If the OVP condition occurs during a load
dump, for example, the IC will stop switching but not shut down.
For A80602-1, all LED strings are disabled in case any string is
not in regulation when VOUT hits OVP. FAULT pin is pulled low
and switching is stopped. The IC remains in latched off state until
it is reset.
OVP condition is typically caused by an open LED fault, or dis-
connected output connector. It may be detected either at startup or
during normal operation. This is explained separately below.
CASE 1: OVP AT STARTUP
During soft start period, the A80602 tries to boost VOUT until it
becomes high enough for all LED string to come into regulation.
But if any LED string is open, VOUT will eventually hit OVP. At
this point, the A80602 will disable any LED string that is still not
in regulation. The FAULT pin is pulled low and boost switching
is stopped to allow VOUT to fall. Once VOUT falls below ~97%
OVP, switching resumes to power the remaining LED strings.
Figure 39: A80602-1 startup with LED2 string open. VOUT hits
OVP and all LED string are disabled. FAULT pin goes Low and IC
remains latched off until reset.

CASE 2: OVP DURING NORMAL OPERATION
Boost Switch Overcurrent Protection
When one LED string becomes open during operation, current
through its LED driver drops to zero. The A80602 responds by
boosting the output voltage higher. When output reaches OVP
threshold, the LED string without current is removed from
regulation. The rest of LED strings continue to draw current and
drain down VOUT. Once VOUT falls below ~97% OVP, boost will
resume switching to power the remaining LED strings.
The external boost switch is protected with a cycle-by-cycle
primary current limit. When the voltage sensed at CS pin exceeds
VCS(LIM1) (typically 210 mV), the existing switching cycle is
truncated. That means the peak switching current is limited to:
Equation 8:
iSW(LIM1) = VCS(LIM1) / RCS
where RCS is the sense resistor connected from source of boost
MOSFET to power ground.
As an example, if RCS = 39 mΩ, then iSW(LIM1) = 5.4 A approxi-
mately.
The waveform below shows normal switching at VIN = 6 V, VOUT
= ~26 V and total LED current 800 mA. Average input current is
around 4.5 A.
Figure 40: An open-LED string faults causes VOUT to ramp up
and trip OVP. The A80602 then disables the open LED string and
continues with remaining strings.
The A80602-1, in contrast, will disable all LED strings in case
any LED string becomes open. The IC remains in latched off
state until it is reset.
Figure 42: Normal 400 kHz switching waveform at VIN = 6 V. Red
trace is the SW node voltage at 10 V/div. Green trace is the induc-
tor current at 1 A/div.
When the input voltage is reduced further to 5.6 V, input current
increases and peak switch current reaches 5.4 A. Overcurrent
protection is tripped to limit the peak SW current.

High Power LED Driver with Pre-Emptive Boost
for Ultra-High Dimming Ratio and Low Output Ripple
If the input current level goes above the preset threshold, the part
will be shut down in less than 3 µs. The FAULT pin is pulled
Low and the IC remains in latched off state until it is reset. This
feature prevents catastrophic failure in the system when there is
a direct short from VOUT to GND (caused by a shorted output
connector or cable, for example).
The waveform below illustrates the input overcurrent fault condi-
tion during startup. As soon as input OCP limit is reached, the
part disables the gate of the disconnect switch Q1 and latches off.
Figure 43: When peak current through the inductor reaches ~5.4 A,
overcurrent protection kicks in to truncate the present switching cycle.
There is also a secondary current sense limit VCS(LIM2), set at
about 40% higher than the cycle-by-cycle current limit. It is to
protect the external MOSFET from destructive current spikes in
case the boost inductor or boost diode is shorted. Once this limit
is tripped, the A80602 will immediately shut down and latch off.

During startup when Q1 first turns on, an inrush current flows
through Q1 into the output capacitance. If Q1 turns on too fast
(due to its low gate capacitance), the inrush current may trip
input OCP limit. In this case, an external gate capacitance CG is
added to slow down the turn-on transition. Typical value for CG is
around 4.7 to 22 nF. Do not make CG too large, since it also slows
down the turn-off transient during a real input OCP fault.

Setting the Input Current Sense Resistor
Fault Protection During Operation
The input disconnect switch threshold is typically 98 mV, mea-
sured between VIN and VSENSE pins when RADJ is 0 Ω. This
threshold can be trimmed slightly using the RADJ resistor.
The A80602 constantly monitors the state of the system to deter-
mine if any fault conditions occur during normal operation. The
response to a triggered fault condition is summarized in the table
below. It is important to note that there are several points at which
the A80602 monitors for faults during operation. The locations are
input current, switch current, output voltage, switch voltage, and
LED pins. Some of the protection features might not be active dur-
ing startup to prevent false triggering of fault conditions.
To avoid false tripping, the input disconnect switch overcurrent
limit should be set higher than the boost switch cycle-by-cycle cur-
rent limit. For example, the boost switch OCP is set at 5.4 A, so the
input disconnect switch OCP may be set 25% higher at 6.75 A. The
input current sense resistor is then calculated as below.
The possible fault conditions that the part can detect include:
When RADJ is not used:
• Open LED Pin or open LED string
• Shorted or partially shorted LED string
• LED pin shorted to GND
• Open or shorted boost diode
• Open or shorted boost inductor
• VOUT short to GND
VIN – VSENSE = RSENSE × iSENSE = 98 mV
The desired sense resistor is RSENSE = 98 mV / 6.75 A =
14.5 mΩ. But this is not a standard E-24 resistor value. Pick the
closest lower value which is 13 mΩ.
When RADJ is used:
• SW shorted to GND
VIN – VSENSE = RSENSE × iSENSE + RADJ × iADJ
Therefore
• ISET shorted to GND
• FSET shorted to GND
• Input disconnect switch drain shorted to GND
RADJ = [(VIN – VSENSE) – (RSENSE × iSENSE)] / iADJ
= [98 mV – 88 mV] / 20 µA = 500 Ω
Pick the closest E-96 resistor value of 499 Ω.
Note that some of these faults will not be protected if the input
disconnect switch is not being used. An example of this is VOUT
short to GND fault.
Input UVLO
When VIN rises above VUVLOrise threshold, the A80602 is
enabled. The IC is disabled when VIN falls below VUVLOfall
threshold for more than 50 μs. This small delay is used to avoid
shutting down because of momentary glitches in the input power
supply.

A80602 and
A80602-1
High Power LED Driver with Pre-Emptive Boost
for Ultra-High Dimming Ratio and Low Output Ripple
APPENDIX: EXTERNAL MOSFET SELECTION GUIDE
The A80602 drives an external MOSFET for the boost stage. This
solution provides maximum flexibility in delivering a wide range
of output voltage and current for different LED panels, compared
to controllers with built-in boost switches. On the other hand,
care must be taken in selection of external MOSFET, to ensure
optimal tradeoff between component size, efficiency, and cost.
Primary Parameters to consider include the following.
ON-RESISTANCE
Device with lower RDSON can directly reduce the conduction loss
of the boost converter. This is especially important when the out-
put power is high and input supply voltage is low. Note that most
datasheets typically highlight this parameter at VGS = 10 V and
TJ = 25°C. It is important to examine how RDSON varies with gate
voltage and temperature, as shown in the following charts:
BREAKDOWN VOLTAGE
Pick the device with “Drain to Source Breakdown Voltage” at
least 20% higher than the maximum possible SW voltage.
• For boost configuration, VSW = VOUT + VF; where VF = boost
diode forward drop.
The A80602 has a maximum VOUT of 40 V. Therefore, the
MOSFET should be rated 50 V or higher.
• For SEPIC configuration, VSW = VIN + VOUT + VF.
Note that VIN can be as high as 40 V during load-dump
conditions. The breakdown voltage needs to be increased
accordingly.
GATE THRESHOLD VOLTAGE
The device must be fully enhanced by the time VGS = 5 V. Note
that this is not the same as “Gate to Source Threshold Voltage”
in most MOSFET datasheets, which is typically specified at very
small current such as 250 µA. A more reliable way is to consult
the “Gate Charge Characteristics” chart of the device, and make
sure that the ‘plateau’ occurs well before VGS reaches 5 V. See
example from datasheet of one potential candidate:
Figure 48: Chart showing On-Resistance varies with Darin
Current and Gate Voltage.

On the other hand, selecting a device with very low QG may
cause excessive voltage spikes at SW node due to high dV/dt. In
this case, a snubber circuit can be added to dampen the ringing.
The switching speed can be slowed down by adding a series gate
resistance (such as 1-5 ohm) between the driver and the device.
The downside of doing this is higher switching losses.
THERMAL RATING
The thermal resistance (RθJA) is primarily determined by the
device’s physical size. If the thermal resistance of the device is
too high, or if there is insufficient heat dissipation on the PCB,
the device may enter thermal run-away situation and burn itself
out. For most medium-power (10-30 W) applications, a DPAK
device is generally sufficient. For high-power (>50 W) applica-
tions, a D2PAK device may be required. Depending on power
loss, additional heat sink can be mounted to improve the heat
dissipation from the PCB.
GATE CHARGE
As mentioned earlier, lower RDSON is desired to reduce conduc-
tion loss. But devices with lower RDSON typically also have
higher gate charge (QG), which can lead to higher switching loss.
This is especially important when switching at high frequency
(such as 2 MHz) and with high output voltage. Higher gate
charge also results in higher gate driver current and hence higher
power loss for the controller IC.
The A80602 uses an LDO to supply the driver voltage (VDRV),
which has a current limit of 36 mA typical. Average gate driver
current is:
Figure 51: Gate Charge vs. Gate-Source Voltage chart for
a suitable MOSFET (NVD5867NL). Note that its plateau is
at ~3.5 V, and its total gate charge is about 10 nC as VGS
ramps up from 0 to 6.5 V.
iVDRV = fSW × QG
If the MOSFET selected has QG = 27 nC, for example, then the
highest switching frequency is limited to 1.33 MHz. See the fol-
lowing chart for relation between maximum switching frequency
and MOSFET gate charge:
