RT7320
High Voltage Programmable Constant-Current LED Driver
General Description
The RT7320 is a simple and robust constant-current
regulator designed to provide a cost-effective solution for
driving high-voltage LEDs in LED lamp applications. The
wide input voltage range (up to 400V) allows flexible LED
string design to operate with 110V
RMS
or 220V

voltage.
The RT7320 allows users to set the regulated current level
by connecting the pins from I1 to I5 for various LED lamps.
Parallel LED strings operation is possible with right
regulated current setting on the RT7320. In addition, the
RT7320 also provides a thermal regulation protection,
instead of traditional thermal shutdown, to suppress the
rise of IC junction temperature and prevent LED lamps
from flicker.

Pin Function
Output of the Constant-Current Regulator. A programmable regulated current,
flowing into this pin, drives high-voltage LEDs connected between this pin and
the rectified voltage.
No Internal Connection.

GND for maximum power dissipation.
Current Setting Input. If this pin is directly connected to GND, the regulated
current increases 2.8mA (typical).
Current Setting Input. If this pin is directly connected to GND, the regulated
current increases 5.5mA (typical).
Current Setting Input. If this pin is directly connected to GND, the regulated
current increases 10mA (typical).
Current Setting Input. If this pin is directly connected to GND, the regulated
current increases 20mA (typical).
Current Setting Input. If this pin is directly connected to GND, the regulated
current increases 40mA (typical).

Operation
Constant-Current Regulator
The constant-current regulator in the RT7320 consists of
an output high-voltage MOSFET (M1), programmable
current-sense resistors (R1 to R5), an error amplifier and
a reference voltage (V
REF
). The error amplifier, designed
with high DC gain, compares the current signal (V
CS
) on
the current-sense resistors and the V
REF
to generate an
amplified error signal. The error signal regulates the output
MOSFET to control the sinking current on the OUT pin at
the programmed current level. In addition, the operating
OUT voltage (V
OUT
) must be higher than the minimum
OUT voltage (V
OUT_MIN
). Otherwise, the output current
might not be regulated at the programmed level (I
OUT_SET
).
The V
OUT_MIN
is approximately calculated by the following
equation :
V
OUT_MIN
= 3000 x I
OUT_SET2
+ 4 (V)
Thermal Regulation Protection
When a LED lamp operates in high ambient temperature
conditions, it needs a thermal protection to limit the
temperatures for protecting LED lamps and ensuring
system reliability. The RT7320 provides a thermal
regulation protection, instead of traditional thermal
shutdown, to suppress the rise of temperatures. When
the IC junction temperature rises above 125°C (typ.), this
function starts to gradually reduce the regulated LED
current, depending on the rise of the junction temperature.
Meanwhile, the system power dissipation is also reduced.
Finally, the temperatures in the system will be well
controlled and enter their steady-state. The function can
achieve both of the two targets : to protect LED lamps and
to prevent them from flicker.
