The HV9910C is an open loop, current mode, control LED driver IC. The HV9910C can be programmed to operate in either a constant frequency or constant off-time mode. It includes a 15 – 450V linear regulator which allows it to work from a wide range of input voltages without the need for an external low voltage supply. HV9910C includes a TTL compatible PWM dimming input that can accept an external control signal with a duty ratio of 0 – 100% and a frequency of up to a few kilohertz. It also includes a 0 – 250mV linear dimming input which can be used for linear dimming of the LED current. As opposed to the HV9910B, the HV9910C is equipped with built-in thermal-shutdown protection. The HV9910C is ideally suited for buck LED drivers. Since the HV9910C operates in open loop current mode control, the controller achieves good output current regulation without the need for any loop compensation. Also, being an open loop controller, PWM dimming response is limited only by the rate of rise of the inductor current, enabling a very fast rise and fall times of the LED current. The HV9910C requires only three external components (apart from the power stage) to produce a controlled LED current making it an ideal solution for low cost LED drivers.

The HV9911 is a current mode control LED driver IC designed to control single switch PWM converters (buck, boost, buck-boost, or SEPIC), in a constant frequency or constant off-time mode. The controller uses a peak current control scheme, (with programmable slope compensation), and includes an internal transconductance amplifier to control the output current in closed loop, enabling high output current accuracy. In the constant frequency mode, multiple HV9911s can be synchronized to each other, or to an external clock, using the SYNC pin. Programmable MOSFET current limit enables current limiting during input under voltage and output overload conditions. The IC also includes a 0.2A source and 0.4A sink GATE driver for high power applications. An internal 9.0 - 250V linear regulator powers the IC, eliminating the need for a separate power supply for the IC. HV9911 provides a TTL compatible, PWM dimming input that can accept an external control signal with a duty ratio of 0-100% and a frequency of up to a few kilohertz. The IC also provides a FAULT output which, can be used to disconnect the LEDs in case of a fault condition, using an external disconnect FET. The HV9911 based LED driver is ideal for RGB backlight applications with DC inputs. The HV9911 based LED lamp drivers can achieve efficiency in excess of 90% for buck and boost applications.

The HV9919B is a PWM controller IC designed to drive high brightness LEDs using a buck topology. It operates from an input voltage of 4.5 to 40VDC and employs hysteretic control with a high-side current sense resistor to set the constant output current. The operating frequency range can be set by selecting the proper inductor. Operation at high switching frequency is possible since the hysteretic control maintains accuracy even at high frequencies. This permits the use of small inductors and capacitors minimizing space and cost in the overall system. LED brightness control is achieved with PWM dimming from an analog or PWM input signal. Unique PWM circuitry allows true constant color with a high dimming range. The dimming frequency is programmed using a single external capacitor. The HV9919B comes in a small, 8-Lead DFN package and is ideal for industrial and general lighting applications.

The HV9930 provides a low-frequency PWM dimming input that can accept an external control signal with a duty cycle of 0 - 100% and a high dimming ratio. The HV9930 based LED driver is ideal for LED lamps and RGB backlight applications with low voltage DC inputs. The HV9930 based LED Lamp drivers can achieve efficiency in excess of 80%.

The HV9931 is a fixed frequency PWM controller IC designed to control an LED lamp driver using a single-stage PFC buckboost-buck topology. It can achieve a unity power factor and a very high step-down ratio that enables driving a single high-brightness LED from the 85-264VAC input without a need for a power transformer. This topology allows reducing the filter capacitors and using non-electrolytic capacitors to improve reliability. The HV9931 uses open-loop peak current control to regulate both the input and the output current. This control technique eliminates a need for loop compensation, limits the input inrush current, and is inherently protected from input under-voltage condition. Capacitive isolation protects the LED Lamp from failure of the switching MOSFET. HV9931 provides a low-frequency PWM dimming input that can accept an external control signal with a duty ratio of 0-100% and a frequency of up to a few kilohertz. The PWM dimming capability enables HV9931 phase control solutions that can work with standard wall dimmers.
