General Description
The AT9917 is an advanced fixed frequency PWM IC
designed to control single-switch, boost, SEPIC, and buck
LED drivers in a constant current mode. The controller uses a
peak current-mode control scheme (with programmable slope
compensation) and includes an internal transconductance
amplifier to control the output current with high accuracy.
The IC includes a +/-1A gate driver that makes the AT9917
suitable for high power applications. An internal 40V linear
regulator powers the IC eliminating the need for a separate
power supply for the IC. The IC provides a FAULT output,
which can be used to disconnect the LEDs in case of a fault
condition (such as an alternator load dump in automobiles)
using an external disconnect FET. AT9917 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 several kilohertz. Temperature
foldback of the output current is possible, using an external
NTC resistor.
The AT9917-based LED driver is suited for automotive LED
driver applications. The AT9917 based LED lamp drivers can
achieve efficiencies in excess of 90% when buck or boost
topologies are used.
