Applications Information
Setting Operating Frequency
The AL9910 is capable of operating over a 25 and 300 kHz switching frequency range. The switching frequency is
programmed by connecting an external resistor between R
The switching frequency is the reciprocal of the oscillator period. Typical values for R
When driving smaller numbers of LEDs, care should be taken to ensure that t
reduce/limit the switching frequency by increasing the R
efficiency.
When operating in buck mode the designer must keep in mind that the input voltage must be maintained higher than 2 times
the forward voltage drop across the LEDs. This limitation is related to the output current instability that may develop when the
AL9910 operates at a duty cycle greater than 0.5. This instability reveals itself as an oscillation of the output current at a sub-
harmonic
The best solution is to adopt the so-called constant off-time operation as shown in Figure 2. The resistor (R
to ground by default, to set operating frequency. To force the AL9910 to enter constant OFF time mode R
the gate of the external MOSFET. This will decrease the duty cycle from 50% by increasing the total period, t
The oscillator period equation above now defines the AL9910 off time, t
When using this mode the nominal switching frequency is chosen and from the nominal input and output voltages the off-time
can be calculated:
From this the timing resistor, R
