HV9964
General Description
The HV9964 is a current mode control LED driver IC designed to
control single switch PWM converters (boost or SEPIC) in a constant
frequency mode. The controller uses a peak current-mode control
scheme (with programmable slope compensation) and includes an
internal transconductance amplifier to accurately control the output
current over all line and load conditions. The IC also provides a load
switch gate drive output, which can be used to disconnect the LEDs
in case of a fault condition using an external load switch. The 10V
external FET drivers allow the use of standard level FETs. The low
voltage 5V AVDD is used to power the internal logic and also acts
as a reference voltage to set the current level.
The HV9964 features Supertex’ proprietary PWM dimming control
algorithm achieving a dimming pulse of a few hundred nanoseconds
from a continuous conduction mode (CCM) or discontinuous-
conduction mode (DCM) boost converter, while maintaining the
instantaneous LED constant current determined by the reference
voltage input. This feature permits dimming frequency outside of
the audible range. The feature can also yield a wide dimming ratio
in excess of 10,000:1 at low dimming frequency.
The HV9964 provides a full protection feature set, including output-
short and open-circuit protection with auto-restart, and latching
open-loop protection with an open-drain flag output.
The HV9964 is powered by a built-in 40V linear regulator.
