PROCEDURES
Begin power
supply selection
Determine:
ILEDx, VRAIL(peak) and VRAIL(nom)
Calculate the required maximum output
Power, PRAIL(peak) of the power supply
Prepare a power converter which has a
maximum output power > POUT(nom) and a
maximum output voltage > VRAIL(peak)
REMARKS
VRAIL(peak) is the highest output voltage
that the power converter needs to
deliver.
ILEDx is the forward current of an LED
string.
PRAIL(peak)
=
No. of
output ch.
ILEDx
VRAIL(peak)
The power converter must be able to
deliver a power no less than PRAIL(peak)
even if the VRAIL is pushed to the
maximum by the LM3463, VRAIL(peak)
Adjust R1 and R2 to reduce the nominal
output voltage of the power converter to
VRAIL(nom)
Adjust the value of R1 and R2 so as to
meet the equation:
VRAIL(nom) = VFB
R2
R1 + R2

Figure 11. Procedures of selecting the primary power supply
Choosing the proper Primary Power Supply
If the primary power supply is an off-the-shelf power converter, it is essential to make certain that the power
converter is able to withstand the VRAIL(peak). In order to allow DHC, the nominal output voltage of the primary
power supply needs to be adjusted to below VLED-MIN-HOT as well. The suggested procedures for selecting the
proper power supply are as shown in Figure 11.
