MXHV9910
Description
The MXHV9910 is a low-cost, high-brightness (HB)
LED driver manufactured using Clare’s high-voltage
BCDMOS on SOI process. This driver has internal
circuitry that allows it to operate from a universal AC
line or from 8V
DC
to 450V
DC
. This highly versatile
input operating voltage enables this IC to be used in a
broad range of HB LED applications.
The driver features a fixed-frequency, peak-current
control method, which provides an ideal solution for
driving multiple LEDs in series and in parallel. In
addition, LED dimming can be implemented by
applying a small DC voltage to the LD pin, or by
applying a low-frequency digital PWM signal to the
PWMD pin.
The MXHV9910 is available in a standard 8-lead SOIC
package and a thermally enhanced 8-lead SOIC
package with an Exposed Thermal Pad (EP)

2.1 Overview
The MXHV9910 is a high-efficiency, low cost, off-line
LED driver designed using Clare's state of the art
BCDMOS on SOI process. The driver can operate
from a DC supply voltage between 8 to 450V
DC
. The
versatile input supply voltage range enables this driver
to be used in a broad range of applications such as flat
panel display RGB backlighting, signage, decorative
LED lighting, and incandescent lamp replacement.
The MXHV9910 IC is configured in a buck converter
topology, which is a perfect choice for off-line and DC
applications driving multiple LEDs in series or parallel.
This method provides excellent efficiency and enables
a buck switcher design using a minimum number of
external components. An external current sense
resistor sets the peak current to the LED string. In
addition, LED dimming can be implemented by either
applying a DC control voltage to the LD pin, or by
applying a low frequency, pulse-width modulated
digital signal to the PWMD pin (typically 500 Hz).
located at the CS pin. When the rising voltage at the
current sense, CS, pin exceeds V
CS(high)
, the internally
set threshold, the gate drive signal goes low and turns
off the external power MOSFET. Turning the power
MOSFET off causes the inductor current to decay until
the next rising edge of the clock, and the process
repeats.
The peak current threshold is set by comparing the
voltage developed across the R
SENSE
resistor to the
internal threshold, V
CS(high)
. This default threshold can
be overridden externally by applying a voltage less
than V
CS(high)
to the LD pin. The lower of these two
thresholds limits the peak current in the inductor
A soft-start function can be implemented by slowly
ramping up the DC voltage at the LD pin from 0mV to
a level greater than 250mV.
Figure 2
shows a typical
recommended soft-start circuit design.

2.2 LED Driver Theory of Operation
The gate driver pulse width mode (PWM) control
circuit is enabled by connecting the PWMD pin to the
V
DD
pin. When enabled, the rising edge of each
internal clock turns on the gate driver and the external
power MOSFET, causing the inductor current to ramp
up the voltage across the current sense resistor
