The output current of the CN5501 is adjusted by using an external current-sense resistor in series with the LEDs. An enable input allows wide-range “pulsed” dimming. The CN5501 is well suited for applications requiring high-voltage input and is able to withstand automotive load-dump events up to 32V. An on-chip power MOSFET minimizes external components while providing ±5% output current accuracy. Also an EQ pin is adopted for equalizing LED current among multiple CN5501 used in parallel. Additional features include a 5V regulated output and thermal regulation, etc. The CN5501 is available in a thermally enhanced 8-pin SOP package and 8-pin DFN package.

Detailed Description The CN5501 is a high-current regulator capable of providing up to a total of 1A of current to one or more strings of high-brightness LEDs. A wide operating input voltage range of +4V to +32V makes the CN5501 ideal for automotive applications. A +5V regulated output provides up to 3mA of current to power external circuitry. EQ pin can equalize the LED current among multiple CN5501 used in parallel to drive multiple LED strings. In addition, the CN5501 features thermal regulation instead of thermal shutdown. If the voltage drop across LED pin and CS pin is high, or the LED current is large, or both the voltage drop and LED current are large, CN5501 will become heater, when the silicon temperature reaches 125℃, the on-chip thermal regulation circuit begins to function, the LED current will be decreased to keep CN5501’s silicon temperature at 125℃(typical).
w w w . c o n s o n a n c e - e l e c . c o m 5 R E V 1 . 0 The wide operating voltage range helps protect the CN5501 against large transients such as those found in load-dump situations up to 32V. The CN5501 uses a feedback loop to control the LED current. The voltage across the sense resistor R CS is compared to a fixed reference voltage, and the error is amplified to serve as the drive to the internal power MOSFET. The regulated LED current is user defined by the value of RCS between CS pin and GND.
Application Information
Input Voltage Considerations The operating voltage range of the CN5501 is ＋4V to ＋32V . The device may operate below +4V, however, LED current may not meet the full regulation specification. For proper operation, the minimum input voltage must always be higher than the worst-case sum of the forward drops of all series-connected LEDs at the output of the CN5501. +5V Regulator The CN5501 includes a fixed +5V output regulator that delivers up to 3mA of load current for low-power applications throughout the +5.5V to +32V input voltage range. Connect a 2.2μF to 10uF compensation capacitor from VCC pin to GND. The +5V output can be used to power the external circuitry. Thermal Regulation The CN5501 features thermal regulation instead of thermal shutdown. If the voltage drop across LED pin and CS pin is high, or the LED current is large, or both the voltage drop and LED current are large, CN5501 will become heater, when the silicon temperature reaches 125℃, the on-chip thermal regulation circuit begins to function, the LED current will be decreased to keep the silicon temperature at 125℃(typical). This typically occurs in overload or LED short-circuit conditions. Setting the LED Current The CN5501 uses a current sense resistor between CS pin and GND to set the LED current. The LED current is given by the equation below: ILED＝0.153÷(RCS＋0.03) Where, I LED is the LED current in ampere(A) R CS is the resistance from CS pin to GND in ohm(Ω) PWM Dimming The CN5501 provides pulsed or chopped current dimming. Generally, high-brightness LEDs are binned to match at their full-rated current. However, LEDs from the same bin exhibit poor matching at currents other than full-rated current. To achieve uniformity, high brightness LED manufacturers recommend PWM pulsing of the LED current at their full-rated value. This can be achieved by pulsing the enable input (EN) while having a constant voltage at VIN, as shown in Figure 2. The PWM signal frequency should be less than 300Hz.

RCS at CS pin should be as close to CN5501 as possible. 2. The capacitor at VCC pin should be as close to CN5501 as possible. 3. It is very important to use a good thermal PC board layout to maximize LED current and minimize the drop out voltage. The thermal path for the heat generated by the IC is from the die to the copper lead frame, through the package lead(especially th e ground lead) to the PC board copper, the PC board copper is the heat sink. The footprint copper pads should be as wide as possible and expand out to larger copper areas to spread and dissipate the heat to the surrounding ambient. Feedthrough vias to inner or backside copper layers are also useful in improving the overall therma l performance of the LED dr iver. Other heat sources on the board, not related to the LED driver, must al so be considered when designing a PC board layout because they will affect overall temperature rise and the maximum LED current. The ability to deliver maximum LED current under all conditions require that the exposed metal pad on the back side of the CN5501 package be soldered to the PC board ground. Failure to make the thermal contact between the exposed pad on the backside of the packag e and the copper board will result in larger thermal resistance.
