6-string PWM LED Driver with Digitally Compensated, 1.1MHz, 48V Boost Regulator and ±1.5% LED String Current Balance Datasheet

The Atmel® LED Driver- MSL1060 is an LED driver with integrated boost regulator capable of driving

6 LED strings at 30mA up to

48V for lighting applications to 8W. In a typical backlighting system it can drive up to 72 white LEDs. The MSL1060 incorporates a current mode PWM boost regulator with 50V internal switch and a wide, 4.75V to 36V input voltage range. The 1.1MHz switching frequency uses a small-sized inductor and output capacitors while maintaining high efficiency, low ripple, and noise. The MSL1060 uses a digital control loop and requires no external components to manage the LED supply and regulate LED current up to 30mA per series LED string. The MSL1060 is also easy to use, dimming with an external PWM signal. Analog dimming of LED string current is available for use with an ambient light sensor (ALS) and/or temperature management with a thermistor or IC temperature sensor. The MSL1060 is offered in a lead-free, halogen-free, RoHS-compliant, 5 x 5mm, 24-lead TQFN package operating over a -40°C to 85°C temperature range.

This section summarizes the capabilities of, and differences between, the MSL1060 and the similar Atmel MSL1061 and Atmel MSL1064 with I²C interfaces. The MSL1060 and MSL1061/64 are LED string drivers with integrated boost regulators, which power, monitor, and dim multiple LEDs at high efficiency for backlighting and signage applications. Each MSL1060/61/64 contains six outputs, each capable of sinking up to 30mA through a string of series-connected LEDs dropping up to 45V; 8W of lighting power. How Many LEDs Can the Atmel LED Drivers-MSL1060/61/64 Drive? The MSL1060/61/64 includes six current sinks (STR0 through STR5) that each control the LED current of multiple, series-connected, white LEDs. Any combination of the six strings may be enabled, and not all the strings need to be used. It is important that each enabled string contain the same number of the same type of LED so that the total voltage drop for each string is the same. This is necessary because there is only one boost regulator (and, therefore, only one LED supply) available to serve all six strings. Use a single MSL1060/61/64 to drive multiple LEDs of a single color/chemistry, such as white LED backlighting or single-color signage. For multicolor applications (e.g. RG, RGB, RGGB, RGBA), use a separate MSL1060/61/64 per LED color/chemistry type. Each MSL1060/61/64 manages its integrated boost regulator to optimize efficiency for its strings of identical LEDs with matched electrical characteristics. The 48V maximum voltage rating of the boost regulator’s internal power FET determines the maximum number of LEDs allowed in a string. The overvoltage protection (OVP) circuit protects the FET as well as external components. The accuracy of the OVP threshold is 2% plus another 1% for the external setting resistors, R8 and R9 (Figure 16 on page 15) reducing the operating maximum voltage to 46.5V. The total voltage needed to drive a string is the forward voltage drop across the desired LED strings, plus the 600mV headroom needed the string’s output current sink (600mV) to keep it in regulation. Since the FET voltage is higher than the boost voltage by the rectifier forward voltage drop, the available voltage for LEDs is approximately 46.5V - 0.6V - 0.9V or 45V. Thus the MSL1060 can drive up to 12 series LEDs as long as the LED forward voltage is less than 3.75V. Differences Between Atmel LED Drivers-MSL1060, MSL1061 and MSL1064 Use the MSL1061 in applications where one or more LED drivers are directly controlled by a PWM input signal. The PWM input signal globally controls the LED dimming. Use the MSL1061/64 for applications where the LED drivers communicate by an I²C/SMB interface. The MSL1064 has a single slave address, while the MSL1061 has four available addresses which allows communication to all four LED drivers on the same I²C interface (Table 1).

Table 4. Typ. Application Circuit Parameters Table 5. Typ. Application Circuit Bill of Materials Figure 16. Backlight Example Driving 60 White LEDs

The MSL1060 is an integrated boost regulator plus LED driver solution for driving an array of LEDs with up to 8W of power. The MSL1060 is especially suited to drive up to 72 white LEDs for notebook computer backlighting. It is also suitable for industrial lighting and signage applications, and can for example drive a 6 string x 18 series LED array, totaling 108 red LEDs (2.5V LED forward voltage drop). The MSL1060 includes 6 current sinks (STR0 through STR5) that each control the LED current of series connected LEDs. A built-in step-up regulator supplies power to the LEDs. The MSL1060 controls the output voltage of the boost regulator such that all LED strings have sufficient voltage to maintain regulated LED current. This control loop operates automatically without any user interaction. LED Current Sinks The LEDs are connected in both series and parallel combinations. The MSL1060 powers up to six parallel strings with each string having up to 12 series-connected white LEDs. The MSL1060 internally controls the current of each string to ensure that all LEDs operate at the same current. The MSL1060 measures the voltage at each of the current sink outputs, STR0 to STR5, and determines which has the lowest voltage. It uses this voltage to control the internal boost regulation voltage such that all current sink voltages have sufficient headroom to maintain high current accuracy and matching. Use equal numbers of LEDs with the same part number in each LED string to maintain the same nominal voltage drop across each string. If the number or type of LEDs on each string does not match, the MSL1060 adjusts the LED voltage so that the largest-forward-voltage string has enough voltage at its current sink for the necessary current accuracy and matching. If there’s excessive variation between the voltages at the STR0 to STR5 current sinks, the MSL1060 dissipates extra power, thereby reducing power efficiency. By matching LED string voltages, the voltage drop across each string driver (the current sink outputs STR0 to STR5) is also matched. This allows the LED driver to adjust the boost regulator output voltage to minimize voltage headroom and thus power dissipation. Minimizing string driver dissipation optimizes efficiency. Disable unused current sink outputs by connecting them to GND. At startup, the MSL1060 checks each current sink output, STR0 to STR5, to determine if the respective LED string shorted to GND. If a current sink output is connected to GND, the MSL1060 detects that as an unused string and disables it. PWM Brightness Control The MSL1060 uses an external PWM signal whose waveform (frequency and duty) directly controls the current sink outputs, STR0 to STR5. The MSL1060 turns-on all active LED strings when the PWM input is high, and turns them off when it is low. Transition the external PWM signa between the 0.9V maximum logic low level and the 2.0V minimum logic high level as quickly as possible to allow the MSL1060 to produce an accurate PWM dimming time without jitter. Also, the 14µs LED string output fall time and 3.2µs rise time limit the external PWM to 230Hz for 8-bit (256:1) brightness resolution at the lowest end of the PWM duty range. Detailed Description

The MSL1060 includes a built-in boost regulator that supplies voltage to the LEDs. The boost output voltage ranges from the input voltage up to 48V. The boost regulator generates the voltage at the top (anode end) of each parallel LED string (Figure 15, Figure 16) anywhere between the boost input voltage and 48V. The voltage is automatically set by the MSL1060 such that the LED string with the highest forward voltage remains above the minimum voltage required to ensure LED current accuracy and matching. The boost regulator is compensated internally using digital control. This reduces the number of external components and allows the control system to save the operating point during the PWM off time, minimizing the required recovery at LED turn on. The current mode regulation system operates at a fixed 1.1MHz switching frequency for easy control of noise. The high switching frequency allows for a small external inductor and capacitors, reducing size and cost. The switch current is internally limited to 2A to prevent overstress in the event a boost regulator overload condition. For maximum power efficiency, ensure that the minimum forward voltage of a series LED string is greater than the maximum input voltage to the boost regulator. The boost regulator by nature includes a DC path through the inductor and rectifier to the boost output voltage, and, therefore, the MSL1060 cannot control the LED voltage lower than the input voltage. If the series LED string voltage is less than the input voltage, the boost regulator turns off and the voltage at the anode end of the string is approximately the input voltage, and so the current sink outputs STR0 to STR5 drop the difference between the string forward voltage and the input voltage. Any increase in voltage across current sink outputs STR0 to STR5 reduces power efficiency. Fault Management The MSL1060 includes comprehensive fault detection circuitry. The MSL1060 automatically detects and corrects for open circuit LED strings, short circuit LEDs, boost regulator overload, and die over-temperature faults. The open-drain FLTB output indicates faults by sinking current to GND. Reset faults by cycling the EN input low and then high. LED String Faults If an open or short circuit LED string fault occurs, the MSL1060 automtatically disables the faulty LED string, and asserts the active-low, open-drain FLTB output to alert the system of the fault. Die Over-temperature Fault If the MSL1060 detects die over-temperature (135°C), it turns-off until the die cools. The MSL1060 restarts automatically when the die is cooled by 15°C, allowing control by the EN and PWM inputs. Atmel LED Driver-MSL1060 6-string PWM LED Driver with Digitally Compensated, 1.1MHz, 48V Boost Regulator and ±1.5% LED String Current Balance

The MSL1060 includes two linear voltage regulators to generate the internal voltage rails, VDD and VCC. The regulators allow the same higher voltage supply, VIN, which supplies the LED boost regulator to power the MSL1060 internal circuity. Only use the VDD and VCC regulators to power the MSL1060’s internal circuitry; do not draw any external current from the regulators. The VCC regulator generates a 6V rail from VIN. VCC powers the boost regulator’s power switch and the VDD regulator. Bypass VCC to GND either with a 10µF or greater ceramic capacitor or with a 10µF or greater tantalum capacitor in parallel with a 1µF ceramic capacitor. In applications where there is a local 4.75V to 6.5V supply available, power VCC powered directly from this supply by connecting VCC and VIN together to this 4.75V to 6.5V supply. A higher voltage supply can still be used to power the LED boost regulator by applying the voltage to the inductor, L1 (Figure 16), and not the MSL1060. The VDD regulator generates a 2.85V rail from VCC. VDD operates the internal low-voltage circuits. Bypass VDD to GND with a 1µF or greater capacitor. Internal Oscillator - R4 Set the MSL1060 internal oscillator frequency with resistor R4 from OSC to GND (Figure 16). Use a 115kΩ ±1% resistor for R4, which also sets the boost regulator PWM frequency to 1.1MHz. Changing the internal oscillator frequency alters the boost regulator internal frequency compensation degrading performance. Do not use a different value for R4, or else the MSL1060 performance is not guaranteed. Setting the Full-scale LED String Current - R5 Set the full-scale static LED current for all enabled strings with the resistor, R5 (Figure 16), from ILED to GND. The maximum full-scale LED current is 30mA. Calculate the resistor R5 value to set the full-scale LED string current I ILED by the equation: 2000 RIILED = where R5 is in kilohms and ILED is in milliamperes. Resistor R5 value of 100kΩ sets the full-scale LED current to 20mA. Use R5 value not less than 66.7kΩ, which sets the full-scale LED current to 30mA. Enable Input - R7 The EN input turns on/off the MSL1060. Drive EN high (or connect to VIN through resistor R7) to turn on the MSL1060, and drive EN low to turn it off. The EN input is internally over-voltage protected (Figure 17) to allow connection to a higher voltage than the 8V maximum input voltage rating by use of an ESD clamp at the input, which sinks current if the input exceeds typically 12V. An internal 10.5kΩ series resistor followed by a 5.8V Zener diode further limits the voltage to the internal logic buffer. Use an external series resistor, R7 to limit the ESD clamp current to no more than 20mA If EN is driven to a voltage higher than 8V. Use R7 value of 100kΩ when driving EN high to voltages above 8V, and omit R7 (directly drive EN) for voltages below 8V.

IADJ Input - LED Temperature Compensation and/or Ambient Light Sensing The MSL1060 analog control input, IADJ, allows reduction of the full-scale static LED current from the current set by resistor R5. IADJ controls the LED current proportionally to the voltage on IADJ, between 0V and 1.22V. For example, setting IADJ to 0V reduces the full-scale static LED current to zero. Setting IADJ to 0.61 V reduces the full-scale static LED current to half. IADJ voltage greater than 1.22V retains full-scale static LED current. If analog control is not used, connect IADJ to VDD. For automatic temperature compensation, connect a negative-temperature-co-efficient (NTC) thermistor from VDD to IADJ and a resistor from IADJ to GND. As temperature rises, the voltage at IADJ also increases, effectively increasing the LED current. For automatic ambient light compensation, connect a photodiode or integrated ambient light sensor (ALS) to the IADJ input. As ambient light intensives, the voltage at IADJ also increases, effectively increasing the LED current. Boost Regulator Components The internally compensated boost regulator, includes an internal, high-voltage FET power switch, and requires only an inductor, rectifier, and bypass capacitors to operate. The current mode boost regulator operates in continuous conduction mode (CCM) or discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). In CCM, the inductor current does not fall to zero when operating at full power, which reduces inductor ripple current and switching noise. The boost regulator and internal compensation switches at 1.1MHz. Use 115kΩ for resistor R4 from OSC to GND (Figure 16) to set the oscillator frequency. Select the inductor, rectifier diode, and output capacitors according to the following guidelines. To select inductor use the following equations ( ) ( ) ( ) ( )swin out in in fI V VV L **3.0 1*   − Where Vout = Forward voltage of LED string + 0.6V Vin = Input voltage f sw = Switching frequency of boost controller, this is 1.1MHz for MSL1060 and in outtotalLED in V VII *9.0 *)( Choose an inductor with a peak current rating > 2A. Common inductor values can range from 4.7µH to 22µH. To minimize losses in the rectifier, choose a fast- switching diode with low forward drop. Ensure that the rectifier can withstand a reverse voltage equal to the regulator output voltage. The average forward current is equal to the total LED string current (for example 6 strings x 30mA = 180mA), while the peak current is equal to the inductor peak current (2A). The boost output capacitor holds the voltage at the output of the boost regulator while the internal power switch is on. Use ceramic boost output capacitors because of their small size and high ripple current capacity. Derate ceramic capacitors for operating voltage because the voltage coefficient decreases the effective capacitance with increased operating voltage. Use two parallel-connected 1µF 100V X7R ceramic capacitors and a 10µH inductor with a 1.7A peak current rating. Over-voltage Protection (OVP) - R8 and R9 The OVP input sets the boost regulator’s output voltage upper limit, and protects the boost regulator from common faults such as open circuit LEDs. Resistors R8 and R9 (Figure 16) set the OVP voltage V TRIP is set by: )98( R RRVV OVPTRIP where VOVP=1.28V, nominal.
