LM3423 ONLY: DPOL, FLT, TIMR, and LRDY
The LM3423 has four additional pins: DPOL, FLT, TIMR, and
LRDY. The DPOL pin is simply used to invert the DDRV po-
larity . If DPOL is left open, then it is internally pulled high and
the polarity is correct for driving a series N-channel dimFET.
If DPOL is pulled low then the polarity is correct for using a
series P-channel dimFET in high-side dimming applications.
For a parallel P-channel dimFET, as used in the buck topol-
ogy, leave DPOL open for proper polarity.
Among the LM3423's other additional pins are TIMR and FLT
which can be used in conjunction with an input disconnect
MosFET switch as shown in
from various fault conditions.
A fault is detected and an 11.5 µA (typical) current is sourced
from the TIMR pin whenever any of the following conditions
exist:
1.
2.

When the voltage on the TIMR pin reaches 1.24V, the device
is latched off and the N-channel MosFET open drain FLT pin
transitions to a high impedance state. The TIMR pin will be
immediately pulled to ground (reset) if the fault condition is
removed at any point during the filter period. Otherwise, if the
timer expires, the fault will remain latched until one of three
things occurs:
1.
2.
3.
When using the EN and OVP pins in conjunction with the RPD
pull-down pin, a race condition exists when exiting the dis-
abled (EN low) state. When disabled, the OVP pin is pulled
up to the output voltage because the RPD pull-down is dis-
abled, and this will appear to be a real OVLO condition. The
timer pin will immediately rise and latch the controller to the
fault state. To protect against this behavior, a minimum timer
capacitor (C
not required, short the TMR pin to AGND which will disable
the FLT flag function.
The LM3423 also includes an LED Ready (LRDY) flag to no-
tify the system that the LEDs are in proper regulation. The N-
channel MosFET open drain LRDY pin is pulled low whenever
any of the following conditions are met:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Note that the LRDY pin is pulled low during startup of the de-
vice and remains low until the LED current is in regulation.
