Regulator for LEDs with
ON/OFF Function
The NCP3066 is a monolithic switching regulator designed to
deliver constant current for powering high brightness LEDs. The
device has a very low feedback voltage of 235 mV (nominal) which is
used to regulate the average current of the LED string. In addition, the
NCP3066 has a wide input voltage up to 40 V to allow it to operate
from a 12 Vac or a 1236 Vdc supply, commonly used for lighting
applications as well as unregulated supplies such as rechargeable
batteries. The NCP3066 switching regulator can be configured in
StepDown (Buck), StepUp (Boost) and VoltageInverting
topologies with a minimum number of external components. The
ON/OFF pin provides PWM dimming capability or a low power
shutdown mode.

INTRODUCTION
The NCP3066 is a monolithic power switching regulator
optimized for LED Driver applications. Its flexible
architecture enables the system designer to directly
implement stepup, stepdown, and voltageinverting
converters with a minimum number of external components
for driving LEDs. A representative block diagram is shown
in Figure 3.
Operating Description
The NCP3066 operates as a fixed oscillator frequency
output voltage ripple gated regulator. In general, this mode
of operation is somewhat analogous to a capacitor charge
pump and does not require dominant pole loop
compensation for converter stability. The typical operating
waveforms are shown in Figure 12. The output voltage
waveform is shown for a stepdown converter with the
ripple and phasing exaggerated for clarity. During initial
converter startup, the feedback comparator senses that the
output voltage level is below nominal. This causes the
output switch to turn on and off at a frequency and duty cycle
controlled by the oscillator, thus pumping up the output filter
capacitor. When the output voltage level reaches nominal
comparator value, the output switch cycle is inhibited. When
the load current causes the output voltage to fall below the
nominal value feedback comparator enables switching
immediately. Under these conditions, the output switch
conduction can be enabled for a partial oscillator cycle, a
partial cycle plus a complete cycle, multiple cycles, or a
partial cycle plus multiple cycles.
Oscillator
The oscillator frequency and offtime of the output switch
are programmed by the value of the timing capacitor CT. The
capacitor CT is charged and discharged by a 1 to 6 ratio
internal current source and sink, generating a positive going
sawtooth waveform at Pin 3. This ratio sets the maximum
tON/(tON + tOFF) of the switching converter as 6/(6+1) or
85.7% (typical). The oscillator peak and valley voltage
difference is 500 mV typically. To calculate the CT capacitor
value for required oscillator frequency, use the equations
found in Figure 15. An online NCP3066 design tool can be
found at www.onsemi.com, which aids in selecting
component values.

Peak Current Sense Comparator
Under normal conditions, the output switch conduction is
initiated by the Voltage Feedback comparator and
terminated by the oscillator. Abnormal operating conditions
occur when the converter output is overloaded or when
feedback voltage sensing is lost. Under these conditions, the
Ipk Current Sense comparator will protect the Darlington
output Switch. The switch current is converted to a voltage
by inserting a fractional ohm resistor, RSense, in series with
VCC and Darlington output switch. The voltage drop across
RSense is monitored by the Current Sense comparator. If the
voltage drop exceeds 200 mV (nom) with respect to VCC, the
comparator will set the latch and terminate the output switch
conduction on a cyclebycycle basis.

Figure 13. Current Sense Waveform
The VIPK(Sense) Current Limit Sense Voltage threshold is
specified at static conditions. In dynamic operation the
sensed current turnoff value depends on comparator
response time and di/dt current slope.
Real Vturnoff on Rsc resistor
Vturn_off = Vipk(sense) + RSense*(tdelay*di/dt)
Typical Ipk comparator response time tdelay is 350 ns. The
di/dt current slope is dependent on the voltage difference
across the inductor and the value of the inductor. Increasing
the value of the inductor will reduce the di/dt slope.
It is recommended to verify the actual peak current in the
application at worst conditions to be sure that the max peak
current will never get over the 1.5 A Darlington Switch
Current max rating.
Thermal Shutdown
Internal thermal shutdown circuitry is provided to protect
the IC in the event that the maximum junction temperature
is exceeded. When activated, typically at 160°C, the
Darlington Output Switch is disabled. The temperature
sensing circuit is designed with some hysteresis. The
Darlington Switch is enabled again when the chip
temperature decreases under the low threshold. This feature
is provided to prevent catastrophic failures from accidental
device overheating. It is not intended to be used as a
replacement for proper heatsinking.
Output Switch
The output switch is designed in Darlington
configuration. This allows the application designer to
operate at all conditions at high switching speed and low
voltage drop. The Darlington Output Switch is designed to
switch a maximum of 40 V collector to emitter voltage and
current up to 1.5 A.
ON/OFF Function
The ON/OFF function provides interruption of switching
and puts the circuitry into the low consumption mode. This
feature is applicable for digital dimming of the LEDs as
well. The ON/OFF signal inhibits switching of the regulator
and reduces the average current through the LEDs. The
frequency of this pulse widthmodulated signal with the
duty cycle can range from less than 1% to 100% is limited
by the value of 1 kHz.
Pulling this pin below 0.8 V or leaving it opened turns the
regulator off. In this state the consumption of the device is
reduced below 100 uA. Pulling this pin above 2.4 V (up to
max. 25 V) allows the regulator running in normal state. If
the ON/OFF feature is not needed, the ON/OFF pin can be
wired to VCC, provided this voltage does not exceed 25 V.
No Output Capacitor Operation
A traditional buck topology includes an inductor followed
by an output capacitor which filters the ripple. The capacitor
is placed in parallel with the LED or array of LEDs to lower
the ripple current. A constant current buck regulator such as
the NCP3066 focuses on the control of the current through
the load, not the voltage across it. The switching frequency
of the NCP3066 is in the range of 100250 kHz which is
much higher than the human eye can detect. By configuring
the NCP3066 in a continuous conduction buck
configuration with low peak to peak ripple the output filter
capacitor can be eliminated. The important design
parameter is to keep the peak current below the maximum
current rating of the LED. Using 1540% peak to peak ripple
results in a good compromise between achieving max
average output current without exceeding the maximum
limit. This saves space and reduces part count for
applications.

APPLICATIONS
Figures 15 through 24 show the simplicity and flexibility
of the NCP3066. Two main converter topologies are
demonstrated with actual test data shown below each of the
circuit diagrams. The demo boards have an input for a digital
dimming signal. You can provide a PWM signal to change
the average output current and reduce the LED brightness.
Figure 14 gives the relevant design equations for the key
parameters. Additionally, a complete application design aid
for the NCP3066 can be found at www.onsemi.com.

Figure 14. Design Equations
The Following Converter Characteristics Must Be Chosen:
Vin Nominal operating input voltage.
Vout Desired output voltage.
Iout Desired output current.
DIL Desired peaktopeak inductor ripple current. For maximum output current it is suggested that DIL be chosen to be
less than 10% of the average inductor current IL(avg). This will help prevent Ipk (Switch) from reaching the current limit threshold
set by RSC. If the design goal is to use a minimum inductance value, let DIL = 2(IL(avg)). This will proportionally reduce
converter output current capability.
f Maximum output switch frequency.
Vripple(pp) Desired peaktopeak output ripple voltage. For best performance the ripple voltage should be kept to a low
value since it will directly affect line and load regulation. Capacitor CO should be a low equivalent series resistance (ESR)

Figure 32. ONOFF Serial Resistor Connection
If the application allows ON/OFF pin to be biased by
voltage and the power supply is not connected to Vcc pin at
the same time, then it is recommended to limit ON/OFF
current by resistor with value 10 kW to protect the NCP3066
device. This situation is mentioned in Figure 32, ON/OFF
Serial Resistor Connection.
This resistor shifts the ON/OFF threshold by about
200 mV to higher value, but the TTL logic compatibility is
kept in full range of input voltage and operating temperature
range.
