Microchip Technology

The HV9961 is an average current mode control LED driver IC operating in a constant off-time mode. Unlike HV9910B, this control IC does not produce a peak-to-average error, and therefore greatly improves accuracy, line and load regulation of the LED current without any need for loop compensation or high-side current sensing. The output LED current accuracy is ±3%. The IC is equipped with a current limit comparator for hiccup-mode output short circuit protection. The HV9961 can be powered from an 8.0 - 450V supply. A PWM dimming input is provided that accepts an external control TTL compatible signal. The output current can be programmed by an internal 275mV reference, or controlled externally through a 0 - 1.5V dimming input. HV9961 is pin-to-pin compatible with HV9910B and it can be used as a drop-in replacement for many applications to improve the LED current accuracy and regulation.

The HV9963 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 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. Multiple HV9963s can be synchronized to each other or to an external clock using the SYNC pin. The IC also provides a disconnect switch gate drive output, which can be used to disconnect the LEDs in case of a fault condition using an external disconnect FET. The 10V external FET drivers allow the use of standard level FETs. The low voltage 5.0V AVDD is used to power the internal logic and also acts as a reference voltage to set the current level. The HV9963 includes an enhanced PWM dimming logic (patent pending) that enables very high PWM dimming ratios. The HV9963 also provides a TTL compatible, 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 tens of kilohertz.

The HV9967B is an average-mode current control LED driver IC operating in a constant off-time mode. The IC features an integrated 60V, 0.8Ω MOSFET that can be used as a stand-alone buck converter switch, or connected as a source driver for driving an external high-voltage depletion-mode MOSFET. The HV9967B is powered through its switching output when the integrated switch is off. Hence, the same external MOSFET can be used as a high-voltage linear regulator for powering the IC. The LED current is programmed with one external resistor. The average-mode current control method does not produce a peak-to-average error, and therefore greatly improves current accuracy and line and load regulation of the LED current without any need for loop compensation or direct sensing of the LED current at a high-voltage potential. The auto-zero circuit cancels the effects of the input offset voltage and of the propagation delay of the current sense comparator.

The HV9985 is a three-channel peak current mode PWM controller for driving single switch converters in a constant output current mode. It can be used for driving either RGB LEDs or multiple channels of white LEDs. The HV9985 features a 40V linear regulator, which provides a 5.0V supply to power the IC. The switching frequencies of the three converters in the IC are controlled either with an external clock signal (the channels operate at a switching frequency of 1/12th of the external clock frequency) or using the internal oscillator. The three channels are positioned 120° out-of-phase to reduce the input current ripple. Each converter is driven by a peak current mode controller with output current feedback. The three output currents can be individually dimmed using either linear or PWM dimming. The IC also includes three disconnect FET drivers which enable high PWM dimming ratios and also helps to disconnect the input in case of an output short circuit condition. The HV9985 includes hiccup mode protection for both open LED and short circuit condition to prevent the IC from shutting down in the case of intermittent faults.

The HYC9088 Twisted Pair and Coaxial Compatible High Impedance Transceiver (HIT) is a hybrid module that interfaces an ARCNET Local Area Network controller to one twisted pair or coaxial cable. The HIT interfaces directly with Standard Microsystems Corporation's ARCNET LAN controllers operating at 2.5 Mbps and connects to a variety of shielded and unshielded twisted pair or coaxial cables via an on-board transformer. The network topologies supported by the HIT are daisy chain, star, and bus configurations. During data transmission, the HIT converts the digital pulse information provided by the LAN controller into analog signals and drives them onto the cable. The transmitted signals are filtered to eliminate undesirable frequencies. The receiver section of the HYC9088 identifies dipulse signals on the cable and converts them into TTL signals to be supplied to the LAN controller. The HIT supports ARCNET's Dipulse Encoding Scheme and is 100% compatible with all existing coax-based ARCNET networks. This provides an ARCNET network designer with flexibility to easily combine coax and twisted pair cabling.
