Notes:
1. A reversed power source could damage the unit.
2. No connection should be made between input ground and the output.
3. These are step-down devices, the maximum output open voltage is
equal to the input voltage.
4. The V
ADJ
input should be left open if not used. Grounding V
ADJ
will shut the unit
down. Connecting V
ADJ
to V
IN
may damage the unit.
5. Exceeding the specified maximum output power could cause damage to the unit.
Typical Connection:
DC/DC Input
Connection Notes:
To comply with EN61000-4-5, a TVS should be installed before the input filter components. A 3.0SMCJ24A or SMCJ24A is recommended. The TVS max clamping voltage (@max peak pulse
current V
C
) must be 40V. This will prevent any surge from exceeding the maximum input of the driver (40 VDC). Exceeding the maximum input rating could damage the driver.
The filter shown (C
1
, C
2,
C
3
and L
1
) will help to meet conducted emission requirements. With the addition of the filter, the unit should meet the levels of EN 55015.
Typical Connection:
AC/DC Input
Connection Notes:
This is a distributed (or two-stage) AC connection. In this configuration, the AC line in (85 to 264 VAC) is connected to the
MPM-20S-24EPB,
a compact 20W AC/DC
power supply. The
MPM-20S-24EPB
provides a tightly regulated 24 VDC output at 833 mA. The 24 VDC output powers the LED driver.
The two stage approach can simplify the safety approval process (most AC/DC power supplies on the market are approved to EN 60950) and may increase design flex-
ibility. Besides the output voltage/current ratings, other specifications to consider when selecting the input AC/DC supply might include input range, case size, efficiency,
EMI ratings and operating temperature range.
Note: The output current adjustment circuit shown in both connection diagrams is discussed on page 4.

PWM Output Current Control
www.micropowerdirect.com
An LED operates at its maximum efficiency when
operated at the rated drive current specified by
the manufacturer. Operating an LED at lower than
its rated forward current not only decreases the
system efficiency; but may cause color (or wave-
length) shifting. In illumination applications, this
could cause visible changes to lighting.
A preferred method is using pulse width modula-
tion (PWM). As shown at left, the output current
is adjusted by applying a PWM signal to the V
ADJ
input. By varying the signal duty cycle the average
output current is adjusted up or down. To avoid
visible flicker, the PWM signal should be greater
than 200 Hz.
For duty cycles (DPWM) between 0.1 and 1, the
output current is derived by the formula:
PWM Control Signals

NOM
= I

X D
PWM
The V
ADJ
input may be driven via an open collec-
tor transistor (as shown). The diode and resistor
suppress high amplitude negative spikes that may
be caused by the drain-source capacitance of the
transistor. Negative spikes on the control input of
the unit could cause errors in output current or
erratic operation.
The V
ADJ
input can also be driven by the open drain
output of a microcontroller. Again, any high amplitude
negative spikes that may be caused by the drain-
source capacitance of the FET must be supressed.
PWM Dimming Application
A simple method of achieving digital (or PWM) dimming is by using a 555 timer again. The formulas for calculating the frequency and duty cycle are included
to apply a series of pulses to the V
ADJ
input, as illustrated above. Again, we are in the MPD application note “Driving
LEDs”.

Analog Output Current Control
(V
CNT

The output current of the unit can also
be set by adjusting the voltage level on
the V
ADJ
input to a value between 0.3V to
1.25V (I
OUT
will vary from 25% to 100% of
rated output current). Care must be taken
not to exceed 1.25V on this input, or the
driver may be damaged.
The simple analog circuit at left uses a 15W
DC/DC converter operating off a 12 VDC
input line, to keep the input to the LED
driver at 24 VDC.
The POL regulator, driven off the same
input line maintains the control voltage
(for the V
ADJ
input) at 5 VDC. The resister
network of R
1
and R
2
can now be used
to set the output current level of the LED
driver. This level is equal to:

In the second circuit, the input DC/DC has
been changed to a higher power model,
and the POL regulator is replaced by the
shunt regulator (D

) circuit connected in
parallel with the resistor network. The
regulator will maintain the voltage across
R
2
and R

at 2.5 VDC, insuring that the
1.25 VDC limit on the V

pin will not be
exceeded.
