Preliminary Information
ZD1680/ZD1680A
High Efficiency Step-Up Controller for LEDs with 6 Channel
Current Sink, Auxiliary Gate Drive and LED Open-Short Detection
General Description
The ZD1680/ZD1680A is a high efficiency step-up controller especially
designed for driving multiple strings of serially connected LEDs. 6 channels
of low dropout current sinks are included to provide excellent matching of
currents for each LED string. The boost converter control loop regulates
the current source outputs to 0.3V for maximum efficiency. All 6 channel
LED current outputs are set by a resistor RSET to ground at the ISET
pin. A CHIP ENABLE (CE) input provides an enable or shutdown function
to the IC and the ISET pin can be used to adjust the LED string current
with a PWM signal or a DC voltage. Each LED channel can be individu-
ally enabled for maximum flexibility. Unused channels must be disabled
for proper circuit operation. Also included is an Under Voltage Lockout
(UVLO) circuit to discontinue operation when input VDD falls below 2.7V
and automatic soft start to limit inrush currents during power start-up or
following a re-CHIP ENABLE function. An ALERT function (available for
ZD1680A only) at the SEL pin whenever two LEDs are either in a shorted
or open condition due to LED at fault or malfunction. Output Over-Voltage
Protection (OVP) is available by user-defined resistor network setting to
protect the LEDs and the IC.
The ZD1680/ZD1680A is available in a 5x5mm 32-pin VQFN or 28-pin
Exposed- TSSOP Green Package.

Storage Considerations
Storage in a low humidity environment is preferred. Large high
density plastic packages are moisture sensitive and should
be stored in Dry Vapor Barrier Bags. Prior to usage, the parts
should remain bagged and stored below 40°C and 60%RH. If
the parts are removed from the bag, they should be used within
48 hours or stored in an environment at or below 20%RH.
If the above conditions cannot be followed, the parts should
be baked for four hours at 125°C in order remove moisture
prior to soldering. Zywyn ships product in Dry Vapor Barrier
Bags with a humidity indicator card and desiccant pack. The
humidity indicator should be below 30%RH

Note 1. a) VOUT ranges from 6V to 60V, depending on the # of LEDs in series and the type of N-MOSFET power device
used.
b) VBATT ranges: +5V ~ +12V; +12V ~ 18V; +18V ~ 26.5V.
c) Power Output depends on external RSENSE resistor to be used.
For RSENSE = 0.12Ω, POUT MAX = 11W
For RSENSE = 0.06Ω, POUT MAX = 15W
