AL8891Q

Functional Description
Overview
The AL8891Q regulator is an easy-to-use, high-efficiency, compact, synchronous step-down LED driver capable of driving up to 2A of load current
from an input voltage ranging from 4.5V to 65V. The switching frequency is adjustable from 200kHz to 2.5MHz by an external resistor.

Constant on time control is employed to achieve simple control-loop compensation and cycle-by-cycle current limiting. Internal compensation makes
the AL8891Q require few external components.

Optional features such as programmable switching frequency, Power Good flag, internal soft-start, and multiple dimming methods provide a flexible
and easy-to-use platform for a wide range of applications. Protection features include thermal shutdown, VIN and VCC undervoltage lockout, cycle-
by-cycle current limit, output short-circuit protection, LED open and short detection, and external components open and short protection.

Switching Frequency
An adaptive on-time average current mode control is implemented to provide near constant switching frequency which can be set between 200kHz
and 2.5MHz. The frequency is programmed using an external resistor RON connected between the FREQ pin and ground, thus the switching
frequency is adjusted. tON is given by the following equation:

tON = k x (RON + RINT) x (VOUT/VIN) Equation 1

fSW =1 / [k x (RON + RINT)] Equation 2

Where k = 0.0103, with fSW in MHz, tON in μs, RON and RINT in kΩ. RINT is an internal resistor 3kΩ
fsw (MHz)

Figure 39. fSW vs. RON

Enable (EN)
Enable (EN) is a digital control pin that turns the converter on and off. The AL8891Q is activated when a logic high signal is applied to the EN pin
and VIN is above UVLO threshold. The device delivers desired LED current set by RCS when PDIM is high. EN pin should not be open circuit or
floating.

PWM Dimming (PDIM) Control


PWM dimming can be achieved by PDIM pin or EN pin. By sending a PWM signal to PDIM pin or EN pin, the average LED current is proportional
to the duty cycle of the applied PWM signal. The dimming frequency between 100Hz and 2kHz is recommended. By selecting a PWM frequency
100Hz, a dimming ratio of 0.1% can be achieved. The average LED current during dimming can be calculated as the following equation:

𝐼𝐿𝐸𝐷_𝐴𝑉𝐺 = 𝑃𝑊𝑀 𝑑𝑢𝑡𝑦 𝑐𝑦𝑐𝑙𝑒 x 𝐼𝐿𝐸𝐷_𝑠𝑒𝑡𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 Equation 3

Note that when EN dimming is applied, a pulse width greater than 200μs is necessary to activate the device during startup.

When the EN pin is toggled from high to low, the output is turned off immediately, but VCC will keep on for time tEN_OFF_DELAY and the device will
stay in standby mode during this period. After that VCC will turn off, and the device will shut down completely.

Functional Description (continued)


Analog Dimming (ADIM) Control
The AL8891Q can also achieve analog dimming by applying an analog voltage on ADIM pin. When V ADIM is higher than 2.0V, the LED current is at
100% level which is defined by sense resistor RCS. When VADIM is between 2V and 0.15V, the LED current decreases linearly down from 100% to
7.5% level. The LED current is internally clamped to 7.5% level when V ADIM is lower than 0.15V. The analog dimming feature is shown as below.

VCSP-CSN

0.015V
VADIM

Figure 40. VCSP-CSN vs. VADIM

Then the LED current can be calculated as the following equation, the LED current can be programmed by sense resistor RCS.

𝐼𝐿𝐸𝐷_𝐴𝑉𝐺 = 𝑉𝐶𝑆𝑃-CS𝑁/𝑅𝐶𝑆 Equation 4

VCC, and UVLO


The AL8891Q integrates an internal LDO to generate VCC for control circuitry and MOSFET drivers. The nominal voltage for VCC is 5V (typical). The
VCC pin is the output of the LDO. A high-quality ceramic capacitor is recommended to be placed as close as possible to VCC pin. The VCC output
pin must not be loaded during operation.

Undervoltage lockout (UVLO) protects the chip from operating at an insufficient supply voltage. It monitors the VCC voltage. When the voltage is
lower than UVLO threshold voltage, the device is shut down. The UVLO rising threshold is about 3.6V (typical), while its falling threshold is 3.45V
(typical).

Bootstrap Voltage (CBOOT)


A voltage higher than VIN is required to drive the HS power MOSFET. The capacitor connected between CBOOT and SW pins works as a charge
pump to boost voltage on the CBOOT pin to (VSW + VCC) through internally integrated diode. A ceramic capacitor of 0.47µF/6.3V or higher value for
CBOOT is recommended.

Functional Information – Fault and Protections


The AL8891Q provides full protection functions, including cycle-by-cycle peak and valley current clamp, LED short and open protection, inductor
short and open protection, RCS short protection (overcurrent), LED+ short to battery protection, FREQ pin short and open protection, and thermal
shutdown. The following table summarizes all fault functions.

LED+ Short to LED-


When output short fault occurred and CSN-PGND < 1.6V, including LED+ short to LED- or output capacitor short or any other event resulting in
output short, the fault is detected, and FAULT pin is set to low level after deglitch time tFDT. But the converter will work continuously and output
nominal current. When the output short fault is removed and CSN-PGND > 1.8V, FAULT is set to high level immediately and the converter returns
to normal work.

LED Open
The LED open fault is masked when FDSET pin voltage is lower than VFDSET, that is to avoid misreporting LED open faults during VIN startup. To
achieve the mask function, connect a voltage divider between VIN and GND, and connect the center of the divider to FDSET pin.

AL8891Q

Functional Information – Fault and Protections (continued)


The VIN rising threshold that enables LED open fault detection can be determined by:

𝑉𝐼𝑁−𝑅𝐼𝑆𝐼𝑁𝐺 = (1+R𝐹𝐷𝑇 / R𝐹𝐷𝐵) ×V𝐹𝐷𝑆𝐸𝑇 Equation 5

In addition, no LED open fault reporting if ADIM < 0.4V. So, only FDSET > threshold and ADIM > 0.4V are met, the LED open fault is reported, and
the converter enter hiccup mode after mask time tMASK-DET. When LED open is removed, the converter returns to normal operation when a hiccup
period ended. FAULT pin is set to high level after mask time tMASK-REL. The cool down time of hiccup mode is tRETRY.

Note that FDSET is a high-impedance input pin and should not be left floating. If LED open detection is not required, tie the FDSET pin to GND. Or
tie the FDSET pin to VCC then LED Open fault is never masked.

For inductor open and LED+ short to Battery fault, the detection and recovery is same as LED open fault.

RCS Short
When RCS short occurs and the peak current does not reach peak current limit IPEAK-LIMIT, the converter will enter hiccup mode after mask time
tMASK-DET and FAULT is set to low level. When RCS short is removed, the converter returns to normal operation: 1) when a hiccup period ended,
and FAULT pin is set to high level after mask time tMASK-REL; 2) FDSET > threshold and ADIM > 0.4V.

Inductor Short and Overcurrent Protection


When inductor short occurs, the current of internal power MOSFET will ramp up until it hits peak current limit IPEAK-LIMIT. After triggering peak current
limit for 9 cycles the converter latches off immediately and FAULT is set to low level. Toggling EN can exit latch after inductor short fault is removed.

Besides inductor short, if there is any other reason that results in the current of internal power MOSFET triggering peak current limit for 9 cycles, the
converter will latch off.

FREQ Pin Fault


There is FREQ pin short and open detection after each VCC power-up. Make sure the FREQ pin is properly connected to a resistor to avoid triggering
pin short or open fault. After fault is detected, the converter latches off immediately and FAULT pin is set to low level. The fault is latched until next
VCC power-up.

Overtemperature Protection
When the junction temperature exceeds TSD, the AL8891Q shuts down the switching regulator to reduce thermal dissipation. It automatically restarts
the switching regulator after junction temperature drops back below TSD-TSD(HYS). The VCC LDO regulators remain operational during
overtemperature event.

Typical Application Information (continued)


5) Output Capacitor Calculation
The output capacitor value depends on the total series resistance of the LED string, 𝒓_𝑳𝑬𝑫, and the switching frequency, 𝒇_𝒔𝒘. The capacitance
required for the target LED ripple current, ∆𝒊_𝑳𝑬𝑫, is calculated using Equation below.

Where

∆𝒊_(𝑳_𝒎𝒂𝒙) maximum ripple current of power inductor in worst case


𝒇_𝒔𝒘 switching frequency
𝒓_𝑳𝑬𝑫 equivalent resistance of total LED string
∆𝒊_𝑳𝑬𝑫 target ripple current of LED string

When choosing the output capacitors, consider the ESR and ESL characteristics because they directly impact the LED current ripple. Ceramic
capacitors are the best choice due to the following:

• Low ESR
• High ripple current rating
• Long lifetime
• Good temperature performance

With ceramic capacitor technology, consider the derating factors associated with higher temperature and DC bias operating conditions. It is
recommend to use an X7R dielectric with a voltage rating greater than the maximum LED stack voltage.

6) Input Capacitor Calculation


The input capacitor buffers the input voltage for transient events and decouples the converter from the supply. It is recommended to use a 10µF
input capacitor across the VIN pin and PGND placed close to the device and connected using wide traces. X7R-rated ceramic capacitors are the
best choice due to the low ESR, high ripple current rating, and good temperature performance.

In addition, a small case size 100nF ceramic capacitor must be used across VIN to PGND, immediately adjacent to the device. This usage provides
a high-frequency bypass for the control circuits internal to the device. These capacitors also suppress SW node ringing, which reduces the maximum
voltage present on the SW node and EMI.

The capacitance can be increased to further limit the input voltage deviation during PWM dimming operation.

Typical Application Information (continued)


7) Layout
The performance of any switching converter depends as much upon the layout of the PCB as the component selection. The AL8891Q is designed
to meet the optimization requirements of PCB layout in the pin assignment. For example, VIN and GND pins are adjacent to each other, which is
convenient for placing VIN bypass capacitors.

Radiated EMI is generated by the high di/dt components in pulsing currents in switching converters. The larger area covered by the path of a pulsing
current, the more electromagnetic emission is generated. The key to minimize radiated EMI is to minimize the area of the pulsing current path, thus,
placing high frequency ceramic bypass capacitor(s) as close as possible to the VIN and GND pins is necessary.

In addition, high dv/dt occurs on SW node during switching, so the trace between SW pin and inductor should be as short as possible, and just wide
enough to carry the load current without excessive heating. Short and thick traces are highly recommended to minimize parasitic resistance. Besides,
sensitive signal lines should be kept away from SW traces.

The following guidelines are provided to help users design a PCB with the best power conversion performance, thermal performance, and minimized
generation of unwanted EMI.

1. Place high-frequency ceramic bypass CIN as close as possible to VIN and GND pins; a ceramic capacitor in small package (such as 0603) is
still needed even if multiple input capacitors are implemented.
2. The high-current loop consisting of VIN, VOUT and PGND should be as compact as possible.
3. The bypass capacitors of VCC should be arranged close to the VCC pin and return to the PGND pin with the shortest connection.
4. It is recommended to use a four-layer board with 2oz top and bottom layers, and a dedicate ground plane on middle layer. Use a minimum 3
by 4 arrays of 10 mil thermal VIAs to connect the thermal pad to the system ground plane for heat dissipation purpose.
5. The SW and CBOOT nodes contain a lot of high-frequency noise, so the connection of these pins should be as short as possible, meanwhile,
there should be sufficient width to conduct the current.
6. Sensitive analog signals, such as CSP and CSN need to be far away from the noisy nodes, and ground plane can be used as a shielding layer
while routing these sensitive signals.
7. The resistor for FREQ pin RON must be located as close to the pin as possible.
