HV9966
General Description
Applications
The HV9966 is a current mode control LED driver IC designed to control a
boost LED driver in constant frequency mode. The controller uses a peak
current-mode control scheme (with programmable slope compensation)
and includes an internal transconductance amplifier to accurately control
the output current over all line and load conditions. The IC also provides
a disconnect switch gate drive output, which can be used to achieve good
PWM rise and fall times for the LED current using an external disconnect
FET.
The HV9966 also provides a TTL compatible, low-frequency PWM dimming
input that can accept an external control signal with a duty ratio of 0-100%
and a frequency of up to a few kilohertz.
The HV9966 includes LED wiring fault detection function which turns off
the boost converter and sends a shutdown signal to the external power
supply in case the cathode of the LED string (or any tap in the LED string)
is shorted to ground. A dedicated power supply input keeps the wiring fault
detection circuitry armed even in the absence of the V
CC
supply.
