When the LED cathode terminal falls below 3 V, a loss of regulation occurs. For applications which may occasionally need to experience supply “dropout” conditions, it is recommended that the CTRL input be used to sense the LED cathode voltage. The CTRL pin can either be tied directly to the cathode terminal (for Lamp Replacement) or connected via a pass−transistor for PWM lighting applications. Figure 23 shows the regulation performance obtained in dropout, when the CTRL pin is configured to sense the LED cathode voltage. 0 100 200 300 400 01 2 3 4 5 6 CTRL VOLTAGE [V] 150 mA 300 mA Figure 23. “Dropout” Configured LED Current (as shown in Typical Application on page 1) Inductor Selection For 350 mA LED current drive levels, a 22 mH inductor value is recommended to provide suitable switching frequency across a wide range of input supply values. For LED current of 150 mA or less, a 33 mH or 47 mH inductor is more suitable. The inductor must have a maximum current rating which equals or exceeds twice the programmed LED current. For example, when driving LEDs at 350 mA, an inductor with at least 700 mA current rating must be used. Minor improvements in efficiency can be achieved by selecting inductors with lower series resistance. Table 7.

If needed, a larger capacitor can be used to further reduce the LED current ripple. Any resistance in series with the LED (0.5 W or more) contributes to reduce the ripple current. The capacitor voltage rating should be equivalent to the maximum expected supply voltage so as to allow for “Open−LED” fault conditions. The capacitor value is independent of the switching frequency or the overall efficiency. A 4.7 mF ceramic input capacitor C1 is recommended to minimize the input current ripple generated on the supply. Using a larger capacitor value further reduces the ripple noise appearing on the supply rail. If a constant capacitance is needed across temperature and voltage, X5R or X7R dielectric capacitors are recommended. Schottky Diode The peak repetitive current rating of the Schottky diode must be greater than the peak current flowing through the inductor. Also the continuous current rating of the Schottky must be greater than the average LED current. The voltage rating of the diode should be greater than the peak supply voltage transient preventing any breakdown or leakage. Central Semiconductor Schottky diode CMDSH05−4 (40 V, 500 mA rated) is recommended. Schottky diodes rated at 400 mA (or higher) continuous current are fine for most applications. NOTE: Schottky diodes with extremely low forward voltages (VF) are not recommended, as they may cause an increase in the LED current. Dimming Methods Two methods for PWM dimming control on the LEDs are described below. The first method is to PWM on the control pin, the other method is to turn on and off a second resistor connected to the RSET pin and connected in parallel with R1. PWM on CTRL Pin A PWM signal from a microprocessor can be used for dimming the LEDs when tied to the CTRL pin. The duty cycle which is the ratio between the On time and the total cycle time sets the dimming factor. The recommended PWM frequency on the CTRL pin is between 100 Hz and 2 kHz. Figure 24.
