NS公司的LM3434是自適應的DC/DC降壓恒流電流控制器,提供了用于大功率LED照明的恒定電流.輸出配置可使多個LED陽極連接到地以獲得散熱器最大效率.輸入工作電壓-9V到-30V,輸出電流大于6A,PWM頻率大于30kHz,開關頻率高達1MHz,主要用在投映系統,固態照明和汽車照明.本文介紹了LM3434主要特性,方框圖,10A輸出和20A輸出應用電路圖,以及LM3434 20A輸出評估板電路,材料清單和PCB布局圖. The LM3434 is an adaptive constant on-time DC/DC buck (step-down) constant current controller (a true current source). The LM3434 provides a constant current for illuminating high power LEDs. The output configuration allows the anodes of multiple LEDs to be tied directly to the ground referenced chassis for maximum heat sink efficacy. The high frequency capable architecture allows the use of small external passive components and no output capacitor while maintaining low LED ripple current. Two control inputs are used to modulate LED brightness. An analog current control input is provided so the LM3434 can be adjusted to compensate for LED manufacturing variations and/or color temperature correction. The other input is a logic level PWM control of LED current. The PWM functions by shorting out the LED with a parallel switch allowing high PWM dimming frequencies. High frequency PWM dimming allows digital color temperature control, interference blanking, field sequential illumination, and brightness control. Additional features include thermal shutdown, VCC under-voltage lockout, and logic level shutdown mode. The LM3434 is available in a low profile LLP-24 package.

A positive voltage with respect to GND is required for the bias and control circuitry and a negative voltage with respect to GND is required for the main power input. This allows for the capability of using common anode LEDs so that the anodes can be tied to the ground referenced chassis. The evaluation board only requires one input voltage of -9V to -30V with respect to GND. The positive voltage is supplied by the LM5002 circuit. The LM5002 circuit also provides a UVLO function to remove the possibility of the LM3434 from drawing high currents at low input voltages during startup. Initially the output current is set at the minimum of approximately 4A with the POT P1 fully counter-clockwise. To set the desired current level a short may be connected between LED+ and LED-, then use a current probe and turn the POT clockwise until the desired current is reached. The current may be adjusted with P1 up to 18A. 20A output may be acheived either by bypassing P1 and applying an analog voltage directly to ADJ or by adjusting the values of R1 and/or R2 to get higher than 1.5V with P1 fully clockwise. PWM dimming FETs are included on-board for testing when the LED can be connected directly next to the board. A shutdown test post on J2, ENA, is included so that startup and shutdown functions can be tested using an external voltage.
