LM3432/LM3432B  
6-Channel Current Regulator for LED Backlight Application  
General Description  
Features  
The LM3432/LM3432B are 6-channel high voltage current  
regulators which provide a simple solution for LED backlight  
applications. These devices incorporate six individual current  
regulator channels to give accurate driving current for each  
LED string. The string-to-string tolerance is kept within ±2.0%.  
Additionally, the Dynamic Headroom Control output can com-  
municate with a LM3430 boost regulator to adjust the LED  
supply voltage to the lowest level needed to keep the string  
current in regulation, yielding optimal overall system efficien-  
cy.  
Dynamic Headroom Control (DHC) output to maximize  
efficiency when used in conjunction with National  
Semiconductor's LM3430 Boost Controller for LED  
Backlighting  
Current sinking adjustable up to 40mA in each string  
Fast current switching slew rate, tr = 60ns typical  
Wide dimming ratio, up to 4000:1 with fDIM = 500Hz  
High LED driving voltage up to 80V  
±2.0% current matching between strings  
The 6-channel current sink can be adjusted from 15mA to  
40mA by an external resistor. Their output drivers can with-  
stand up to 80V. Digital PWM or analog voltage signal can be  
used to control the duty cycle of all the channels. With a fast  
current switching slew rate, tr = 60ns typical, accurate current  
control and wide dimming ratio during PWM dimming are en-  
sured.  
Accepts both Digital and Analog dimming control  
LED open/short fault indication (For LM3432B, no open  
fault indication)  
Over-Temperature Indication  
Internal Thermal Shutdown with Hysteresis  
Low profile, thermally enhanced LLP-24 (5x4x0.8mm) and  
eTSSOP-28 (9.7x6.4x1.1mm) packages (The LM3432B is  
available in the LLP-24 only)  
The LM3432/LM3432B contain LED open/short circuit and  
over-temperature fault signaling to the system micro-con-  
troller (the LM3432B does not include open circuit fault sig-  
naling). These devices are available in a low profile, thermally  
enhanced 24 lead LLP package. The LM3432 is also avail-  
able in the 28 lead eTSSOP.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. The Recommended Operating Limits define the conditions within  
which the device is intended to be functional. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics.  
Note 2: The human body model is a 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5kresistor into each pin.  
Note 3: The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the maximum junction temperature, TJ_MAX, the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, θJA  
and the ambient temperature, TA. The maximum allowable power dissipation at any ambient temperature is calculated using: PD_MAX = (TJ_MAX - TA)/θJA. Exceeding  
the maximum allowable power dissipation will cause excessive die temperature.  
Note 4: All limits are guaranteed at room temperature (standard type face) and at temperature extremes (bold type face). All room temperature limits are 100%  
tested. All limits at temperature extremes are guaranteed via correlation using standard Statistical Quality Control (SQC) methods. All limits are used to calculate  
Average Outgoing Quality Level (AOQL). Typical values represent the most likely parametric norm at TJ = 25°C and are provided for reference purposes only.  
Note 5: IOUT_match is the greatest percentage delta between output string currents with respect to the median.  
Note 6: Rating limits apply to both the LM3432 and LM3432B.  
Note 7: Dropout voltage is defined as the IOUT pin to GND voltage at which the output current sink drops 10% from the nominal value.

ANALOG DIMMING OF LED STRINGS  
Functional Description  
Dimming of LED brightness is achieved by Pulse Width Mod-  
ulation (PWM) control of the string currents. The LM3432/  
LM3432B accepts both analog voltage and PWM digital dim-  
OVERVIEW  
The LM3432/LM3432B are 6-channel high voltage current  
regulators for LED backlight applications which incorporates  
individual channel current regulators to give accurate current  
sinking for each LED string. String to string tolerance is kept  
within ±2.0% at 40 mA and ±2.25% at 20 mA. The 6-channels  
current sinks can be adjusted from 15 mA to 40 mA by an  
external resistor. Channel outputs can withstand up to 80V.  
Channel 5 or 6 output can be disabled by shorting the selected  
output pin to ground prior to power-up. Both the digital PWM  
dimming signal and analog voltage signal can be used to  
control the duty cycle of all the six channels. The LM3432/  
LM3432B also provide fault indications to the system MCU for  
an LED open (included in the LM3432 only) or short circuit or  
an over-temperature condition.  
ming input signals for this feature. With a capacitor (CMODE  
)
connected across the MODE pin and ground, the device will  
monitor the voltage level at the DIM pin and generate the re-  
quired PWM control signal internally. The internal implemen-  
tation of the LM3432/LM3432B’s dimming function is illustrat-  
ed in Figure 1.  
INTERNAL 5V LINEAR REGULATOR  
An internal 5V linear regulator with an Under-Voltage Lock-  
Out (UVLO) function is integrated within the LM3432/  
LM3432B. This regulated 5V is used for internal circuitry and  
can support a small amount of external loading, not to exceed  
2 mA when VIN = 6V. The supply input pin (VIN) can be con-  
nected directly to an input voltage up to 40V, with transient  
capability up to 42V. The VCC output regulates at 5V and is  
current limited to 9 mA. To ensure stable operation, the ex-  
ternal capacitor CVCC must be at least 680 nF with 1 µF  
recommended. If the voltage at the VCC pin drops below the  
UVLO threshold of 3.8V, the device will shut down the output  
channels and other functional blocks. Normal operation will  
be resumed once the VCC voltage is allowed to rise above the  
UVLO rising threshold of 4.15V.  
30006417  
FIGURE 1. Analog Dimming of LEDs  
An internal current source of 34 µA (typical) will charge the  
external capacitor (CMODE) linearly until it reaches 3V. The  
comparator (Comp1) then forces CMODE to be discharged to  
1V very quickly. By repeating the cycle, a saw-tooth waveform  
as shown in Figure 1 is generated. Comparator (Comp2)  
compares this ramp waveform with the external dc voltage at  
the DIM pin generating the desired PWM control signal.  
BANDGAP VOLTAGE REFERENCE  
A precision reference voltage is required for accurate control  
of the output currents. The LM3432/LM3432B contain a  
bandgap voltage reference block that provides a high preci-  
sion reference voltage for internal operation. The bandgap  
reference voltage is typically trimmed to 1.245V.  
When VDIM 1V, ON duty factor, DON = 0% and when VDIM  
3V, DON = 100%. The frequency of the PWM control signal  
can be calculated as shown below.  
OUTPUT CURRENT REGULATOR (IOUT1 to IOUT6)  
The LM3432/LM3432B contains six individual integrated cur-  
rent regulators to give accurate current sinking for each LED  
string. String to string tolerance is kept within ±2.0% at 40 mA  
and ±2.25% at 20 mA. The sink current level is adjusted by  
an external resistor, RIREF in the range of 15 mA to 40 mA.  
The IOUT pins can withstand up to 80V. The ability to with-  
stand high voltage enables the user to add more LEDs in a  
single string. The calculation of IOUT with respect to RIREF is  
shown below.  
Or  
PWM DIGITAL DIMMING of LED STRINGS  
Alternatively, the dimming control can be implemented by di-  
rect application of a digital signal to the device. With the  
MODE pin connected to ground, an externally applied PWM  
dimming signal is applied to the DIM pin. The peak amplitude  
of the externally applied PWM signal should be greater than  
1.5V to guarantee clean PWM switching.  
Channels 5 and 6 are designed to be user disabled without  
activating the fault detection circuitry. With this feature, the  
user can readily configure the device to a 4, 5 or 6 channel  
driver. In order to disable a channel, the IOUT5 and/or IOUT6  
pin(s) must be tied to ground before powering up the device.  
During power-up, channels 5 and 6 will be checked and any  
grounded channel(s) will be automatically disabled. The dis-  
abled status will remain until either power is recycled or the  
enable (EN) pin is toggled.  
During PWM dimming, channels are not switched simultane-  
ously in an effort to minimize large surge currents from being  
drawn from the LED supply rail. Each channel will have 0.5  
µs phase delay with respect to the preceding channel. As a  
consequence of the phase delay, for a control pulse width less  
www.national.com  
10  
than 0.5 µs, the duty cycle will be rounded down to 0% and  
for a control pulse width less than 0.5 µs off time, the duty  
cycle will be rounded up to 100%. Therefore, 0.5µs becomes  
the finest pulse width resolution that can be realized. The  
PWM switching timing for all six channels is shown in Figure  
2.  
30006420  
FIGURE 2. PWM Dimming Switching Timing  
LED SHORT FAULT DETECT  
With DHC  
detect feature will be active for all channels. In the event an  
LED short fault condition occurs and causes the voltage be-  
tween any of the IOUT pin and ground to exceed the typical  
short fault threshold of 7.9V for more than 150 μs, the affected  
channel(s) will be latched off and the FAULTb pin will be  
pulled to ground. The affected channel(s) will remain latched  
off until recycling power or toggling the EN pin. All of the other  
channels that are not affected will continue to function nor-  
mally. If the voltages between all IOUT pins and ground are  
greater than 2V typical, the Short Fault Detect feature will be  
disabled to prevent false triggering of the short fault detect  
function.  
If the Dynamic Headroom Control (DHC) feature is used, the  
lowest voltage between the IOUT pins and ground among the  
strings will be regulated to 0.625V typical (ILED = 20 mA) by  
lowering the LED supply rail voltage, VLED. If an LED short  
fault condition occurs and causes the voltage between any of  
the IOUT pins and ground to exceed the typical short fault  
threshold of 7.9V for more than 150 µs, the affected channel  
(s) will be latched off and the FAULTb pin will be pulled to  
ground. The affected channel(s) will remain latched off until  
recycling power or toggling the EN pin. All of the other chan-  
nels that are not affected will continue to function normally.  
LED OPEN FAULT DETECT (LM3432 ONLY)  
For the LM3432, if an open fault should occur and the affected  
channel sinks no current for greater than 50 µs, it will be  
latched off (until recycling power or toggling EN pin). The  
FAULTb pin’s output will be pulled to ground while the other  
channels keep functioning normally. The open fault detection  
and FAULTb indication features are inactive in the LM3432B.  
Without DHC  
In applications where the DHC function is not used, the IOUT  
pin voltage on each string will be the voltage difference be-  
tween the LED supply rail voltage, VLED, and the voltage drop  
across the entire LED string. If the voltage between any of the  
IOUT pins and ground is less than 2V typical, the short fault

OVER-TEMPERATURE MONITOR  
DYNAMIC HEADROOM CONTROL  
If the LM3432/LM3432B junction temperature exceeds ap-  
proximately 125°C, the OTMb pin will be pulled to ground but  
the part will continue to function. Action must be taken to lower  
the temperature at this point. The PWM duty factor may be  
lowered as an example to reduce the amount of heat gener-  
ated, which will in turn lower the die temperature. If the  
junction temperature is allowed to rise beyond approximately  
165°C, the part will shut down. When the device is cooled  
down to about 145°C, device operation will resume.  
To use the DHC function, connect a gain setting resistor from  
the VDHC pin of the LM3432/LM3432B to the VDHC pin of  
the LM3430 (National Semiconductor’s Boost Controller for  
LED Backlighting) that is supplying power to the LED rails.  
The LM3432/LM3432B’s DHC function will regulate the volt-  
age between the IOUT pins and ground to a minimum of  
0.625V typical (IOUT = 20 mA) to optimize overall efficiency.  
A large DHC time constant needs to be set in order not to  
interfere with the loop response of the DC-DC converter. This  
can be implemented by connecting a capacitor from the  
LM3432/LM3432B’s CDHC pin to ground. If the DHC function  
is not needed, leave the VDHC pin floating. When operated  
in this manner, if the lowest voltage between any of the IOUT  
pins and ground is greater than 2V, the LED short fault de-  
tection function will be disabled. For the LM3432B, if any open  
condition occurs on any channels, the DHC function will be  
inactive and the LED supply rail voltage from the LM3430 will  
stay at its preset level. If the excess headroom voltage is  
greater than the short fault detect threshold, 7.3V(min), the  
device may latch off the LED string(s) due to short fault pro-  
tection. In order to insure the proper operation of good LED  
strings, designers must design for sufficient excess head-  
room voltage below the short fault detect threshold.  
Note that this thermal shutdown protection is only intended as  
a fault mode protection feature. Device operation above rated  
maximum operating junction temperature is neither recom-  
mended nor guaranteed.

nents. The selection of those components is described in  
detail below.  
Programming of String Current, IOUT1 to IOUT6  
The string current can be programmed by an external resistor,  
RIREF. The equation to calculate the resistance of this resistor  
is shown below.  
Selecting the VCC Output Capacitor, CVCC  
For proper operation, a VCC output capacitor (CVCC) of at  
least 680 nF is required for stability reason. The recommend-  
ed CVCC capacitance is 1 µF.  
In order to ensure good current regulation over the full oper-  
ating temperature range, a high quality resistor with ±1%  
tolerance and a low temperature coefficient is recommended.

Selecting the VIN Capacitor, CVIN  
Driving High Current LEDs  
The purpose of this capacitor is to supply transient current to  
the device and suppress VIN noise in order to ensure proper  
operation. A low ESR ceramic capacitor with good high fre-  
quency performance is recommended. The capacitance can  
range from 0.1 µF to 1 µF.  
The LM3432/LM3432B can support string currents from 15  
mA to 40 mA. If the application needs to drive high current  
LEDs that require more than 40 mA per string, the LM3432/  
LM3432B provides the alternative of connecting several IOUT  
ports together to achieve higher output current per string. With  
this approach, there is the obvious trade off between higher  
output current and number of strings driven. Two possible  
configurations are illustrated in Figure 5.  
Analog Dimming Control  
If analog dimming control is required, a capacitor, CMODE  
should be connected from the MODE pin to ground instead of  
shorting the MODE pin to ground. The relationship between  
the PWM dimming frequency and the capacitance of CMODE  
is illustrated below.  
When VPWM 1V, DON = 0% and when VPWM 3V, DON  
=
100%  
The LED dimming ratio is calculated from the ratio of minimum  
ON duty factor to the maximum ON duty factor. With the  
LM3432/LM3432B, the LEDs can be fully turned on up to  
100% ON duty factor and the minimum ON duty factor is lim-  
ited by the phase delay time, 0.5 µs. The dimming ratio can  
be estimated as below.  
As an example, if the PWM dimming frequency is set to 500  
Hz, the best achievable dimming ratio is:

FIGURE 5. Achieving Higher LED String Current by Grouping IOUT Ports  
Dynamic Headroom Control, DHC with LM3430  
must be set to a large enough value by adding a capacitor  
from CDHC pin to ground.  
When the LM3432/LM3432B are powered with National  
Semiconductor's Boost Controller for LED Backlighting,  
LM3430, the Dynamic Headroom Control (DHC) feature  
helps to provide the optimal system efficiency. By connecting  
VDHC through a gain setting resistor to the DHC pin of the  
LM3430 that is supplying the LED power rail, the LM3432/  
LM3432B’s DHC function will regulate the minimum of the ON  
voltage of the six channels to 0.625V typical (IOUT = 20 mA).  
This is the minimum voltage headroom required at outputs to  
keep the current regulator in its linear operating range. In or-  
der not to interfere with the feedback loop response of the  
upstream DC-DC converter, the DHC response time constant  
Figure 6 is an application schematic of a LED panel driver  
using both the LM3430 and the LM3432/LM3432B with the  
Dynamic Headroom Control function enabled. The LM3430  
boosts a voltage from VIN to 50V nominal to supply the LED  
strings. With the DHC function disabled, the LM3430 will keep  
the LED string supply regulated at 50V. When the DHC is  
enabled, this voltage will dynamically be regulated down to a  
voltage that can just keep all LED string currents in regulation.  
That is about 40V in the application shown in Figure 6. The  
reduction in this rail voltage can significantly improve the  
overall system efficiency.
