boost converter designed for driving Light Emitting
Diodes (LEDs) with constant current where the light
intensity is proportional to the current through them.
The input supply voltage range into the device (V
DD
)
is 2.6 to 4.6V. Operation of the driver at lower
voltages is possible as long as a 2.6–4.6V low-
current supply is available for the HV9903. The
device uses a single inductor and a minimum
number of passive components. The device can be
enabled/disabled via the SHDN pin.
The HV9903 has an internal oscillator. The oscillator
frequency is at fixed frequency of 1.2MHz that allows
use of small value inductors. The LED current can
be adjusted from 5 to 40mA by an external resistor
connected between the R
SET
and the GND pins. The
amount of current though the LED can also be
adjusted via DC voltage or a pulse width modulated
(PWM) signal to the R
SET
pin.
Soft-start is implemented on-chip, minimizing inrush
current to only 30% over steady state current.
An open LED circuit detects an open LED condition,
disables the driver, and sets the R
SET
pin high. The
driver is re-enabled by asserting SHDN low, then
high. If the open LED condition persists, the driver
will again latch off.

Note: This drawing is a generalized representation of the HV9903. Actual internal circuitry may differ.
Operation
The HV9903 operates as a boost converter that
regulates output current rather than output voltage.
To maintain constant output current, LED current is
monitored via the LED pin and the boost converter’s
PWM duty cycle is adjusted accordingly to maintain
the desired current level. LED current is controlled
100% via the PWM boost converter – the MOSFET
connected to the LED pin is fully turned on during
normal operation and is not regulated to maintain
constant LED current. This minimizes voltage drop at
the LED pin, maximizing overall efficiency.
LED current is set by the value of the resistor
connected to the R
SET
pin. The voltage at the R
SET
pin
is maintained at 100mV and the resulting current
through the R
SET
resistor is used as a reference for
LED current control. LED current is regulated at 225
times R
SET
current.

SET
and LED switch are turned off. Soft-start is not reset
and the IC does not go into low power standby. Such
a condition can occur two ways: 1) if R
SET
is greater
than about 66kΩ, or 2) an external voltage greater
than 100mV is applied to the R
SET
pin. Internal
blocking prevents reverse current flow into the R
SET
pin if the externally applied voltage exceeds 100mV.
However, applied voltage must not exceed V
DD
.
The control loop is designed for discontinuous mode
operation. That is, inductor current is allowed to
return to zero between PWM conversion cycles. To
assure discontinuous mode operation, the inductor
value must be below a certain value for given
conditions of supply voltage and LED string voltage
drop. The Inductor Selection section provides further
information.
The PWM boost converter is a current mode controller
operating at an internally fixed 1.2MHz.
A soft-start circuit minimizes inrush current when
power is initially applied or the device is enabled via
the SHDN input. Inrush current is typically limited to
130% of steady-state current. Although the soft-start
period is short (~1ms), it means that if using SHDN for
PWM dimming, the PWM dimming signal should be

Open LED Protection
Open LED protection is integrated into the HV9903.
Without open LED protection, output voltage would
climb to destructive levels as the driver attempts to
correct for the open LED condition.
Should the voltage at the SW pin exceed 33V, the
driver latches off and the R
SET
pin is pulled to V

SHDN low for at least 200ns. When SHDN is again
brought high, the driver will be re-enabled, including
soft-start. If the open LED condition persists, the
HV9903 will again latch off.

Inductor Selection
The HV9903 is designed for discontinuous mode
operation. Control loop stability may be compromised
if the converter is allowed to operate in continuous
mode. To assure discontinuous mode operation, the
inductor must not exceed a certain value depending
on supply voltage, output current, and output voltage.
The following graphs show the maximum permissible
inductor value and inductor current rating for a lithium-
ion battery application (2.7V minimum battery
voltage). When calculating LED string voltage drop,
use maximum LED voltage. If using paralleled LED
strings with current balancing resistors, include the
