Block Diagram Theory of Operation The LM3421/23 are N-channel MosFET (NFET) controllers for buck, boost and buck-boost current regulators which are ideal for driving LED loads. The controller has wide input volt- age range allowing for regulation of a variety ...
Page 10
CURRENT REGULATORS Current regulators can be designed to accomplish three basic functions: buck, boost, and buck-boost. All three topologies in their most basic form contain a main switching MosFET, a recirculating diode, an inductor and capacitors. The LM3421/23 is designed ...

SWITCHING FREQUENCY An external resistor (R ) connected between the RCT pin and T the switch node (where D1, Q1, and L1 connect), in combi- nation with a capacitor (C ) between the RCT and AGND pins, T sets the ...
Page 12
AVERAGE LED CURRENT The LM3421/23 uses an external current sense resistor (R ) placed in series with the LED load to convert the LED SNS current (I ) into a voltage ( shown in LED SNS HSP and ...
Page 13
CURRENT SENSE/CURRENT LIMIT The LM3421/23 achieves peak current mode control using a comparator that monitors the main MosFET (Q1) transistor current, comparing it with the COMP pin voltage as shown in Figure 6. Further, it incorporates a cycle-by-cycle over-current protection ...
Page 14
CONTROL LOOP COMPENSATION The LM3421/23 control loop is modeled like any current mode controller. Using a first order approximation, the uncompen- sated loop can be modeled as a single pole created by the output capacitor and, in the boost and ...
Page 15
To mitigate this problem, a compensator should be designed to give adequate phase margin (above 45°) at the crossover frequency. A simple compensator using a single capacitor at the COMP pin (C ) will add a dominant pole to the ...

OVER-VOLTAGE LOCKOUT (OVLO) FIGURE 12. Over-Voltage Protection Circuitry The LM3421/23 can be configured to detect an output (or in- put) over-voltage condition via the OVP pin. The pin features a precision 1.24V threshold with 23 µA (typical) of hysteresis current ...
Page 17
PWM DIMMING The active low nDIM pin can be driven with a PWM signal which controls the main NFET and the dimming FET (dim- FET). The brightness of the LEDs can be varied by modulat- ing the duty cycle of ...
