Automotive High-Voltage HB LED Controller  
General Description  
The MAX25611A/MAX25611B/MAX25611C/MAX25611D  
Benefits and Features  
Automotive Ready: AEC-Q100 Qualified  
are single-channel HBLED drivers for automo-  
tive front light applications such as high beam,  
low beam, daytime running light (DRL), turn  
indicator, fog light, and other LED lights. It can take an  
input voltage from 5V to 36V and can drive a string of  
LEDs with a maximum output voltage of 65V.  
Integration Minimizes BOM for High-Brightness  
LED Driver  
• Integrated pMOS Dimming FET Gate Driver Allows  
Single-Wire Connection to LED String  
• PWM, Analog-to-PWM and Analog Dimming  
Integrated High-Side, Current-Sense Amplifier  
• 12-Pin SWTQFN-EP Package  
The MAX25611A/B/C/D sense output current at  
the high side of the LED string. High-side current  
sensing is required to protect for shorts from the output  
to the ground or battery input. It is also the most flex-  
ible scheme for driving LEDs, allowing boost, high-side  
buck, SEPIC mode, or buck-boost mode configura-  
tions. The PWM input provides LED dimming ratios of  
up to 5000:1, and the REFI input provides additional  
analog dimming capability in the MAX25611A/B/C/D.  
The MAX25611A/B/C/D have built-in spread-spectrum  
modulation for improved electromagnetic compat-  
ibility performance. The MAX25611A/B/C/D can also  
be used in zeta and Cuk converter configurations if it is  
necessary in some applications.  
Flexible Application Configurations  
• +5V to +36V Wide Input Voltage Range with a  
Maximum +65V Boost Output  
• Boost, Buck-Boost, High-Side Buck, SEPIC, Zeta,  
and Cuk Single-Channel LED Drivers  
Protection Features and Wide Temperature Range  
Increase System Reliability  
• Short-Circuit, Overvoltage, and Thermal Protection  
• -40°C to +125°C Operating Temperature Range  
Ordering Information appears at end of data sheet.  
Simplified Application Circuit  
The MAX25611A/B/C/D are available in a space-saving  
12-pin SWTQFN-EP package. They are specified to oper-  
ate over the -40°C to +125°C automotive temperature  
range. The switching frequency is internally set at 350kHz

MAX25611C/MAX25611D  
Automotive High-Voltage HB LED Controller  
When the external MOSFET is turned off, the inductor  
current is transferred to the output. When the next switch-  
ing cycle starts and the external MOSFET is turned on,  
the inductor current starts ramping back up. Through this  
repetitive action, the PWM-control algorithm establishes a  
switching duty cycle to regulate current to the LED load.  
Detailed Description  
Functional Operation of the  
MAX25611A/B/C/D  
The MAX25611A/B/C/D is a constant-frequency, current-  
mode controller with a low-side nMOS gate driver. The  
operation of the devices is best understood by seeing the  
Functional Diagram. The devices are enabled when the  
5V regulator is above its UVLO limit of 4.5V (typ), before  
switching on NDRV can begin. The nMOS gate-drive volt-  
age and the control circuitry inside the device uses the  
5V supply.  
The external pMOS is turned on when PWMDIM is high  
and is turned off when PWMDIM is low. This external dim-  
ming MOSFET is a p-channel MOSFET and is connected  
on the high side. The source of this pMOS is connected  
to ISENSEN and the gate is connected to DIMOUT.  
The drain of this MOSFET is connected to the anode of  
the external LED string. In certain applications, it is not  
necessary to use this dimming MOSFET and in these  
cases, the DIMOUT pin is left open. During normal  
operation when PWMDIM is high, the voltage across the  
resistor from ISENSEP to ISENSEN is regulated to a  
programmed voltage set by REFI.  
When PWMDIM goes high, switching is initiated. The  
internal oscillator runs at either 350kHz (MAX25611A) or  
2.2MHz (MAX25611B). Additional spread-spectrum dith-  
ering is added to the oscillator to alleviate EMI problems  
in the LED driver. The internal oscillator is synchronized  
to the positive going edge of the PWMDIM pulse. This  
means that the NDRV pulse goes high at the same instant  
as the positive-going pulse on PWMDIM. This guarantees  
that the switching frequency variation over a period of a  
PWMDIM pulse is the same from one PWMDIM pulse to  
the next. This prevents flicker during PWM dimming espe-  
cially for short PWMDIM pulse widths.  
The external pMOS switch is also used for fault protection  
as well. Once a fault condition is detected, the DIMOUT  
pin is pulled high to turn off the pMOS switch. This iso-  
lates the LED string from the fault condition and prevents  
excessive voltage or current from damaging the LEDs.  
Input Voltage (IN)  
Once PWMDIM goes high, the external switching MOSFET  
is turned on. Current flows through the external switching  
MOSFET and this current is sensed by the voltage across  
the current-sense resistor from the source of the external  
MOSFET to GND. The source of the external MOSFET  
is connected to the CS pin of the device through a slope-  
The input supply pin (IN) must be locally bypassed with a  
minimum of 1μF capacitance close to the pin. All the input  
current drawn by the device goes through this pin. The  
positive terminal of the bypass capacitor must be placed  
as close as possible to this pin and the negative terminal  
of the bypass capacitor must be placed as close as pos-  
sible to the GND pin.

The device drives an external n-channel switching  
The devices require an external p-channel MOSFET  
for PWM dimming. For normal operation, connect the  
gate of the MOSFET to the output of the dimming driver  
(DIMOUT). The dimming driver can sink up to 25mA  
or source up to 50mA of peak current for fast charging  
and discharging of the pMOS gate. When the PWMDIM  
signal is high, this driver pulls the pMOS gate to 5V below  
the ISENSEP pin to completely turn on the p-channel  
dimming MOSFET. The DIMOUT pin inverts and level  
shifts the signal on PWMDIM to drive the gate of the  
external pMOS. In some applications, the pMOS dimming  
MOSFET is not required, and the DIMOUT pin can be left  
open.

The average current demanded from the supply to drive

Overvoltage Protection (OVP)  
OVP sets the overvoltage-threshold limit across the LEDs.  
Use a resistor-divider between ISENSEP to OVP and  
GND to set the overvoltage-threshold limit. An internal  
overvoltage-protection comparator senses the differential  
voltage across OVP and GND. If the differential voltage  
is greater than 1.23V, the device stops switching, NDRV  
goes low, and DIMOUT goes high. When the differential  
voltage drops by 70mV, NDRV is enabled if PWMDIM is  
high and DIMOUT goes low.  
Switching Frequency  
The internal oscillator runs at either 350kHz (MAX25611A/  
MAX25611C) or 2.2MHz (MAX25611B/MAX25611D). The  
devices have built-in frequency dithering of ±6% of the  
programmed frequency to alleviate EMI problems.  
The internal oscillator is synchronized to the positive  
going edge of the PWMDIM pulse. This means that  
the NDRV pulse goes high at the same instant as the  
positive-going pulse on PWMDIM. This guarantees that  
the switching frequency variation over a period of a  
PWMDIM pulse is the same from one PWMDIM pulse  
to the next. This prevents flicker during PWM dimming  
especially for short PWMDIM pulse widths.

The MAX25611A/B/C/D feature output short-circuit pro-

Thermal Shutdown  
Setting the Overvoltage Threshold  
Internal thermal-shutdown circuitry is provided to protect  
the device in the event the maximum junction tempera-  
ture is exceeded. The threshold for thermal shutdown is  
+165°C (typ) with 15°C (typ) hysteresis. The part returns  
to regulation mode once the junction temperature goes  
below +150°C (typ). This results in a cycled output during  
continuous thermal-overload conditions.  
The overvoltage threshold is set by resistors ROVP1 and  
ROVP2. See the Simplified Application Circuit. The over-  
voltage circuit in the device is activated when the voltage  
on OVP with respect to GND exceeds 1.23V. Use the fol-  
lowing equation to set the desired overvoltage threshold:

Boost and Buck-Boost Configurations  
Overvoltage or open across the LED string. The  
device restarts after the output voltage drops below  
the OVP hysteresis (70mV (typ) at the OVP pin).  
Boost and buck-boost configurations are similar in that  
the total output voltage seen by the inductor is always  
higher than the input voltage. The difference being that for  
the boost configuration, the total output voltage is depen-  
dent on the total LED voltage, while for the buck-boost  
configuration, the total output voltage is dependent on the  
sum of the LED voltage and the input voltage.  
Short-circuit condition across the LED string. The  
device enters hiccup mode and restarts after the  
hiccup timer has expired. The hiccup timer is 8192  
clock cycles.  
Overtemperature condition. The device restarts after the  
die temperature falls below the 15°C (typ) hysteresis.  
In the boost converter, the average inductor current var-  
ies with the line voltage. The maximum average current  
occurs at the lowest line voltage.  
Exposed Pad  
For the boost converter, the average inductor current is  
equal to the input current. Calculate maximum duty cycle  
using the following equation:  
The MAX25611A/B/C/D package features an exposed  
thermal pad on its underside that should be used as a  
heat sink. This pad lowers the package's thermal resis-  
tance by providing a direct heat-conduction path from the  
die to the PCB. Connect the exposed pad and GND to  
the system ground using a large pad or ground plane, or  
multiple vias to the ground plane layer.

the required bulk capacitance. To minimize audible noise  
generated by the ceramic capacitors during PWM dim-  
ming, it may be necessary to minimize the number of  
ceramic capacitors on the output. In these cases, an  
additional electrolytic or tantalum capacitor provides most  
of the bulk capacitance.  
Input Capacitor  
The input-filter capacitor bypasses the ripple current  
drawn by the converter and reduces the amplitude of  
high-frequency current conducted to the input supply.  
The ESR, ESL, and bulk capacitance of the input  
capacitor contribute to the input ripple. Use a low-ESR  
input capacitor that can handle the maximum input  
RMS ripple current from the converter. For the boost  
configuration, the input current is the same as the induc-  
tor current. For buck-boost configuration, the input current  
is the inductor current minus the LED current. However,  
for both configurations, the ripple current that the input  
filter capacitor has to supply is the same as the induc-  
tor ripple current with the condition that the output filter  
capacitor should be connected to ground for buck-boost  
configuration. Neglecting the effect of LED current ripple,  
the calculation of the input capacitor for boost, as well  
as buck-boost configurations is the same. Neglecting  
the effect of the ESL, ESR, and bulk capacitance at the  
input contributes to the input-voltage ripple. For simplicity,  
assume that the contribution from the ESR and the bulk  
capacitance is equal. This allows 50% of the ripple for the  
bulk capacitance. The capacitance is given by:  
Boost and Buck-Boost Configurations  
The calculation of the output capacitance is the same  
for both boost and buck-boost configurations. The output  
ripple is caused by the ESR and bulk capacitance of the  
output capacitor if the ESL effect is considered negligible.  
For simplicity, assume that the contributions from ESR  
and bulk capacitance are equal, allowing 50% of the rip-  
ple for the bulk capacitance. The capacitance is given by:

Rectifier Diode Selection  
Use a Schottky diode as the rectifier (D1) for fast switch-  
ing and to reduce power dissipation. Select a Schottky  
diode with a voltage rating higher than that calculated by  
the following equations:  
The remaining 50% of allowable ripple is for the ESR of  
the output capacitor.  
Use X7R ceramic capacitors for optimal performance.  
The selected capacitor should have the minimum required  
capacitance at the operating voltage.  
Boost configuration:  
In the buck mode, the input capacitor has large pulsed  
currents due to the current flowing in the freewheel-  
ing diode when the switching MOSFET is off. It is very  
important to consider the ripple-current rating of the input  
capacitor in this application.

ing. The factor 1.2 provides 20% safety margin.  
The function of the output capacitor is to reduce the out-  
put ripple to acceptable levels. The ESR, ESL, and bulk  
capacitance of the output capacitor contribute to the out-  
put ripple. In most applications, the output ESR and ESL  
effects can be dramatically reduced by using low ESR  
ceramic capacitors. To reduce the ESL and ESR effects,  
connect multiple ceramic capacitors in parallel to achieve

The switching converter small-signal transfer function  
also has an output pole for both boost and buck-boost  
configurations. The effective output impedance that deter-  
mines the output pole frequency together with the output  
filter capacitance is calculated as:  
Switching MOSFET Selection  
The switching MOSFET (N1) should have a voltage  
rating sufficient to withstand the maximum output voltage  
together with the diode drop of rectifier diode D1, and  
any possible overshoot due to ringing caused by parasitic  
inductances and capacitances. Use a MOSFET with a

The output pole frequency for both boost and buck-boost  
configurations is calculated as follows:  
Feedback Compensation  
The LED current-control loop comprising the switching  
converter, LED current amplifier, and the error amplifier  
should be compensated for stable control of the LED  
current. The switching converter small-signal transfer  
function has a right half-plane (RHP) zero for both boost  
and buck-boost configurations, as the inductor current is  
in continuous-conduction mode. The RHP zero adds a  
20dB/decade gain together with a 90° phase lag, which  
is difficult to compensate. The easiest way to avoid this  
zero is to roll off the loop gain to 0dB at a frequency less  
than 1/5 of the RHP zero frequency with a -20dB/decade  
slope.

PCB Layout  
to C

OUT  
Typically, there are two sources of noise emission in a  
switching power supply: high di/dt loops and high dV/dt  
surfaces. For example, traces that carry the drain cur-  
rent often form high di/dt loops. Similarly, the heatsink  
of the MOSFET connected to the device drain presents  
a dV/dt source; therefore, minimize the surface area of  
the heatsink as much as is compatible with the MOSFET  
power dissipation, or shield it. Keep all PCB traces car-  
rying switching currents as short as possible to minimize  
current loops. Use ground planes for best results.  
c) C  
and current-sense resistor R  
must be  
OUT  
CS_FET  
connected directly to the ground plane.  
4) Connect the power GND of the high current switching  
components to a star-point configuration.  
5) Keep the power traces and load connections short.  
This practice is essential for high efficiency. Use thick  
copper PCBs (2oz vs. 1oz) to enhance full-load ef-  
ficiency.  
6) Route high-speed switching nodes away from the  
sensitive analog areas. Use an internal PCB GND  
plane as an EMI shield to keep radiated noise away  
from the device, feedback dividers, and analog  
bypass capacitors.  
Careful PCB layout is critical to achieve low switching  
losses and clean, stable operation. Use a multilayer board  
whenever possible for better noise immunity and power  
dissipation. Follow these guidelines for good PCB layout:  
1) Use a large contiguous copper plane under the IC  
package. Ensure that all heat-dissipating components  
have adequate cooling.  
Voltage Regulator Configuration  
The MAX25611A/B/C/D can be configured as voltage  
regulators by using the voltage across ISENSEP and  
ISENSEN as the feedback input for the output voltage  
feedback divider.  
2) Isolate the power components and high-current path  
from the sensitive analog circuitry.  
3) Keep the high-current paths short, especially at the  
ground terminals. This practice is essential for stable,  
jitter-free operation. Keep switching loops short:
