The LDS9003/9001 utilizes the LED-Sense™
sensing and control algorithm that directly measures
the LED junction and controls the temperature by
closed loop adjustment of the LED Driver current via
PWM duty cycle corrections.
The control loop real-time adjusts the LED current via
PWM correction codes in user programmed Look up
Tables (LUTs) assigned to each sensing channel.
The user programs desired correction profiles for
every 5ºC increment from -35ºC to 120ºC. A single
sensing channel and correction LUT is available in
the LDS900, whereas three correction profiles are
available in LDS9003 to support multi-point
temperature sensing or multi-color LED applications.
Integrated PWM generators support dimming and
LED temperature vs. current compensation. The
2
PWM duty cycle is programmable via the I C serial
interface from 0% to 100%. User-programmed 8-bit
codes are converted to 12-bit logarithmic steps of ~
0.17 dB per step. The PWM frequency is ~280 Hz to
minimize noise generation.
The EN logic input functions as a chip enable. A logic
HIGH applied at the EN pin allows the LDS9003 /
2
LDS9001 to respond to I C communications. An
optional external serial interface address pin is
available for use in multi-target applications.
The device operates from 2.5 to 5.5V.
The LDS9001 is available in an 8-lead 3 x 2 mm
DFN package. The LDS9003 is in a 16-lead 3 x 3
2
mm TQFN package.

DESCRIPTION
The LDS9003 is a 3-channel and LDS9001 is a 1-
channel LED junction temperature monitor and
control device intended for use in high power LED
solid state lighting applications. It connects directly to
a LED anode and the PWM input of available high
power HB drivers to real-time adjust LED current to
2
meet maximum LED temperature. A two wire I C
interface allows communication to a local low cost
microcontroller or other remote host processor
device.
LDS9003 / 9001 can improve thermal management
of high power LED systems by controlling reliable
LED junction temperature levels to meet maximum
operating lifetimes. In addition, it can reduce cost by
allowing operation at optimal LED current/luminance
levels minimizing the number HB LED lamps per
fixture required to meet illumination targets.
