Description
The FAN73402 is a single-channel boost controller that
integrates an N-channel power MOSFET for PWM
dimming using Fairchilds proprietary planar Double-
diffused MOSFET (DMOS) technology.
The IC operates as a constant-current source for driving
high-current LEDs.
It uses Current Mode control with programmable slope
compensation to prevent subharmonic oscillation. The IC
provides protections including: open-LED protection,
over-voltage protection, and direct-short protection for
high system reliability.
The IC internally generates a FAULT signal with delay if
an abnormal LED string condition occurs. PWM dimming
and analog dimming functions can be implemented
independently. Internal soft-start prevents inrush current
flowing into output capacitor at startup.

FAN73402 1.0.1 11
FAN73402 LED Backlight Driving Boost Switch
Functional Description
The FAN73402 operates as a constant-current source for
driving high-current LEDs. It uses Current-Mode control
with programmable slope compensation to prevent
subharmonic oscillation.
The IC provides open-LED protection, over-voltage
protection, and over-current protection for improved
system reliability. The IC internally generates a FAULT
OUT signal with a delay in case an abnormal LED string
condition occurs. PWM dimming and analog dimming
functions can be implemented independently. Internal
soft-start prevents inrush current flowing into output
capacitor at startup.
VCC Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO)
An internal regulator provides the regulated 5V used to
power the IC. The Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO) turns
off the IC in the event of the voltage dropping below the
specific threshold level. The UVLO circuit inhibits
powering the IC until a voltage reference is established,
up to predetermined threshold level.
Enable
Applying voltage higher than 1.22 V (typical) to the ENA
pin enables the IC. Applying voltage lower than 1.15 V
(typical) to the ENA pin disables the IC. If ENA pin
voltage is higher than 1.22 V (typical) and VCC is higher
than 9.0 V (typical), the IC starts to supply the 5 V
reference voltage from VCC.
Oscillator (Boost Switching Frequency)
Boost switching frequency is programmed by the value of
the resistor connected from the RT pin to ground. RT pin
voltage is set to 2V. The current through the RT pin
resistor determines the boost switching frequency
according to formula:

󰇛󰇟󰇠󰇜 󰇟󰇠
(1)
Soft-Start Function at Startup
During initial startup, the switching device can be
damaged due to the over-current coming from the input
line by the negative control. This can result in the initial
overshoot of the LED current. Therefore, during initial
startup, the soft-start control gradually increases the duty
cycle so that the output voltage can rise smoothly to
control inrush current and overshoot.
FAN73402 adapts the soft-start function in the boost
converter stage. During soft-start period, boost switch
turn-on duty is limited by the clamped CMP voltage. The
soft-start period is dependent on the boost switching
frequency, which is determined by the RT resistor
(Equation (1)). Soft-start period is set to be cumulative
time when the BDIM (PWM dimming) signal is HIGH:

where ADIM(V) is ADIM pin applied voltage and, RSENSE
is the sensing resistor value.
Note:
5. An additional 60 mΩ comes from an internal wire
bonding resistor. To calculate LED current precisely,
consider the wire bonding resistor.
Analog Dimming and PWM Dimming
Analog dimming (ADIM) is achieved by varying the
voltage level at the ADIM pin. This can be implemented
either with a potentiometer from the VREF pin or from an
external voltage source and a resistor divider circuit. The
ADIM voltage level is adjusted to be the same as the
feedback level (VSENSE). A VADIM range from 0.3 V to 3 V
is recommended.
PWM dimming (BDIM) helps achieve a fast PWM
dimming response in spite of the shortcomings of the
boost converter. The PWM dimming signal controls three
nodes in the IC: gate signal to the switching FET, gate
signal to the dimming FET, and output connection of the
transconductance amplifier. When the PWM dimming
signal is HIGH, the gates of the switching FET and
dimming FET are enabled. At the same time, the output
of the transconductance op-amp is connected to the
compensation network. This allows the boost converter
to operate normally.
Dynamic Contrast Ratio
The Dynamic Contrast Ratio (DCR) means the maximum
contrast ratio achievable by adjusting the amount of light
(dimming) of the screen using the backlight during an
extremely short period of time. FAN73402 can normally
drive the LED backlight under 0.1% dimming duty cycle
at 200 Hz dimming frequency. Even operating at 5 µs
dimming MOSFET turn-on time and extremely low
dimming duty, FAN73402 can operate LEDs with normal
peak current level.

FAN73402 LED Backlight Driving Boost Switch
Internal Dimming MOSFET
A dimming MOSFET (200 V N-channel MOSFET) is
incorporated in the FAN73402. The power transistor is
produced using Fairchilds proprietary, planar stripe,
DMOS technology. This advanced technology is tailored
to minimize on-state resistance (RDS(on)=1.0 ) to
provide superior switching performance. This device is
suited for high-efficiency SMPS and shows desirable
thermal characteristic during operation. To prevent
initial LED current overshoot at low VADIM levels, gate
resistance of the internal dimming FET is designed as
5 k.
Feedback Loop Compensation
Stable closed-loop control can be accomplished by
connecting a compensation network between COMP and
GND. The compensation needed to stabilize the
converter can be a Type-I circuit (a simple integrator) or
a Type-II circuit (and integrator with and additional pole-
zero pair). The type of the compensation circuit required
is dependent on the phase of the power stage at the
crossover frequency.
FAN73402 adopts a Type-II compensator circuit.
Programmed Current Control
FAN73402 uses Current-Mode control. Current-Mode
control loops: an outer feedback loop that senses output
voltage (current) and delivers a DC control voltage to an
inner feedback loop, which senses the peak current of
the inductor and keeps it constant on a pulse-by-pulse
basis. One of the advantages of the Current-Mode
control is line/load regulation, which is corrected
instantaneously against line voltage changes without the
delay of an error amplifier.
Programmable Slope Compensation
When the power converter operates in Continuous
Conduction Mode (CCM), the current programmed
controller is inherently unstable when duty is larger than
50%, regardless of the converter topology. The FAN73402
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.
An internal Rslope resistor (5 kΩ) connected to sensing
resistor, RS, and an external resistor, R1, can control the
slope of VSC for the slope compensation. Although the
normal operating mode of the power converter is DCM,
the boost converter operates in CCM in the case of rapid
LED current increase. As a result, slope compensation is
an important feature.
The value of an external series resistor (R1) can be
programmed. In normal DCM operation, 5 k is
recommended.

Cycle-by-Cycle Over-Current Protection
In boost topology, the switch can be damaged in
abnormal conditions (inductor short, diode short, output
short). It is always necessary to sense the switch current
to protect against over-current failures. Switch failures
due to excessive current can be prevented by limiting Id.

Open-LED Protection (OLP)
After the first PWM dimming-HIGH signal, the feedback
sensing resistor (RSENSE) starts sensing the LED current. If
the feedback voltage of the SENSE pin drops below 0.2 V,
the OLP triggers to generate an error flag signal. Because
OLP can be detected only in PWM dimming-HIGH; if OLP
detecting time is over 5 μs, PWM dimming signal is pulled
HIGH internally regardless of external dimming signal. If
OLP signal continues over blanking time, an error flag
signal is triggered.
OLP blanking time is dependent on the boost switch
frequency, per Equation 6. FAULT OUT signal is made
through the FAULT pin, which needs to be connected 5 V
reference voltage through a pull-up resistor. In normal
operation, the FAULT pin voltage is pulled down to
ground. In OLP condition, the FAULT pin voltage is
pulled HIGH.

In system operation, OLP is triggered in only direct-short
condition. Direct short means that some point of the LED
string is shorted to set ground. In direct-short condition,
the boost controller cannot control the LED current and a
large current flows into the LED string directly from input
power. To prevent this abnormal condition, the FAULT
signal is used to turn off input power or the total system.
FAULT signal is only triggered in OLP condition.

Over-Voltage Protection (OVP)
Over-voltage protection is triggered when the voltage of
the external output voltage reaches 3 V. After triggering
OVP, the dimming switch and boost switch are turned off.

LED Over-Current Protection (OCP)
The primary purpose of the over-current protection
function is to protect the internal dimming MOSFET from
excessive current. The OCP is triggered when the
feedback voltage meets the clamping level (1.4 V ~ 4 V)
of the ADIM voltage x4. At 1 μs delay after the OCP is
triggered, the IC turns off both the boost FET and
dimming FET and restarts the gate signal every tAR
automatically. tAR can be calculated as:
