APPLICATION INFORMATION

The TS19460 is optimized to drive buck LED drivers using average current mode control. This method of control

enables fairly accurate LED current control without the need for high side current sensing or the design of any

closed loop controllers. The IC uses very few external components and enables both linear and PWM dimming of

the LED current.

A resistor connected to the RT pin programs the off-time. Constant off-time control average current mode is used

for stability and to improve the LED current regulation over a wide range of input voltages.

The current through the switching MOSFET source is averaged and used to give constant-current feedback. This

current is detected from a sense resistor at the CS pin, the feedback operates in a fast open-loop mode, there is no

compensation required, the output current is programmed as

When the Voltage at the LD input >1.5V, otherwise

When application to design the inductor witching ripple current in it is 40% of average peak to peak, full load

current, the inductance can be calculated as follow:

The duty cycle range of current control feedback is limited to duty <75%, A reduction in the LED current string

voltage is greater than 75% of input voltage.

Reducing the output LED voltage is below

result in the loss of regulation of LED current. This condition will cause an increase in the LED current and can be

possible to trip the short circuit protection comparator.

The short circuit protection comparator trips when the voltage at CS exceeds 0.44V, the Gate off time (

400

μs) is generated to prevent stair-casing of inductor current and potentially its saturation due to insufficient

output voltage.

The leading edge blanking delay is provided at CS to prevent false triggering of current feedback and short circuit

protection.
