The HG9910 is a PWM high-efficiency LED driver control IC. It allows efficient operation of high-
brightness (HB) LEDs from 10VDC up to 600VDC voltage sources. The circuit controls an external
MOSFET at fixed switching frequencies up to 300 kHz. The frequency can be programmed by using a
single resistor. The device peculiarity is that a LED string is driven at a constant current rather than at a
constant voltage, thus providing a constant light output and an enhanced reliability. The output current can
be programmed between a few milliamps and up to more than 1.0A. A rugged high-voltage junction
isolated process was used and enabled the device to withstand an input voltage surge up to 600V. The
output current to a LED string is programmable to any value between zero and its maximum value by
applying an external control voltage to the linear dimming control input. To allow the device to accept an
external control signal with a duty ratio of 0 to 100% and a frequency of up to a few kilohertz the circuit has
a low-frequency PWM dimming input.

Application Note
Oscillator
The oscillator in the HG9910 is controlled by a single resistor connected at the RT pin.
The equation governing the oscillator time period
t
OSC
is given by:
If the resistor is connected between RT and GND, HG9910 operates in a constant frequency
mode and the above equation determines the time-period. If the resistor is connected between
RT and GATE, the HG9910 operates in a constant off -time mode and the above equation
