NSI50150ADT4G Adjustable Constant Current Regulator & LED Driver 50 V, 150 - 350 mA + 10%, 4.2 W Package The adjustable constant current regulator (CCR) is a simple, economical and robust device designed to provide a cost effective solution for regulating current in LEDs. The CCR is based on Self-Biased Transistor (SBT) technology and regulates current over a wide voltage range. It is designed with a negative temperature coefficient to protect LEDs from thermal runaway at extreme voltages and currents. The CCR turns on immediately and is at 14% of regulation with only 0.5 V Vak. The Radj pin allows Ireg(SS) to be adjusted to higher currents by attaching a resistor between Radj (Pin 3) and the Cathode (Pin 4). The Radj pin can also be left open (No Connect) if no adjustment is required. It requires no external components allowing it to be designed as a high or low-side regulator. The high anodecathode voltage rating withstands surges common in Automotive, Industrial and Commercial Signage applications. This device is available in a thermally robust package and is qualified to stringent AEC-Q101 standard, which is lead-free RoHS compliant and uses halogen-free molding compound. www.onsemi.com Ireg(SS) = 150 - 350 mA @ Vak = 7.5 V Anode 1 3 Radj 4 Cathode 4 1 2 Features * * * * * * * * * * * Robust Power Package: 4.2 Watts Adjustable up to 350 mA Wide Operating Voltage Range Immediate Turn-On Voltage Surge Suppressing - Protecting LEDs UL94-V0 Certified SBT (Self-Biased Transistor) Technology Negative Temperature Coefficient Eliminates Additional Regulation NSV Prefix for Automotive and Other Applications Requiring Unique Site and Control Change Requirements; AEC-Q101 Qualified and PPAP Capable These Devices are Pb-Free, Halogen Free/BFR Free and are RoHS Compliant Applications * Automobile: Chevron Side Mirror Markers, Cluster, Display & * * * Instrument Backlighting, CHMSL, Map Light AC Lighting Panels, Display Signage, Decorative Lighting, Channel Lettering Application Notes AND8391/D, AND9008/D - Power Dissipation Considerations Application Note AND8349/D - Automotive CHMSL (c) Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC, 2015 March, 2015 - Rev. 1 1 3 DPAK CASE 369C MARKING DIAGRAM 1 A Radj Y WW NSI150 G YWW NSI 150G C = Year = Work Week = Specific Device Code = Pb-Free Package ORDERING INFORMATION Device Package Shipping NSI50150ADT4G DPAK (Pb-Free) 2500/Tape & Reel NSV50150ADT4G DPAK (Pb-Free) 2500/Tape & Reel For information on tape and reel specifications, including part orientation and tape sizes, please refer to our Tape and Reel Packaging Specifications Brochure, BRD8011/D.

The device has a slight negative temperature coefficient, as shown in Figure 2 - Tri Temp. (i.e. if the temperature increases the current will decrease). This negative temperature coefficient will protect the LEDS by reducing the current as temperature rises. The CCR turns on immediately and is typically at 20% of regulation with only 0.5 V across it. The device is capable of handling voltage for short durations of up to 50 V so long as the die temperature does not exceed 175C. The determination will depend on the thermal pad it is mounted on, the ambient temperature, the pulse duration, pulse shape and repetition. Single LED String The CCR can be placed in series with LEDs as a High Side or a Low Side Driver. The number of the LEDs can vary from one to an unlimited number. The designer needs to calculate the maximum voltage across the CCR by taking the maximum input voltage less the voltage across the LED string (Figures 8 and 9). Figure 9. Higher Current LED Strings Two or more fixed current CCRs can be connected in parallel. The current through them is additive (Figure 10). Figure 8. Figure 10. www.onsemi.com 6 NSI50150ADT4G Other Currents the human eye will detect a flicker from the light emitted from the LEDs. Between 500 Hz and 20 kHz the circuit may generate audible sound. Dimming is achieved by turning the LEDs on and off for a portion of a single cycle. This on/off cycle is called the Duty cycle (D) and is expressed by the amount of time the LEDs are on (Ton) divided by the total time of an on/off cycle (Ts) (Figure 13). The adjustable CCR can be placed in parallel with any other CCR to obtain a desired current. The adjustable CCR provides the ability to adjust the current as LED efficiency increases to obtain the same light output (Figure 11). Figure 13. The current through the LEDs is constant during the period they are turned on resulting in the light being consistent with no shift in chromaticity (color). The brightness is in proportion to the percentage of time that the LEDs are turned on. Figure 14 is a typical response of Luminance vs Duty Cycle. Figure 11. 6000 5000 Dimming using PWM ILLUMINANCE (lx) The dimming of an LED string can be easily achieved by placing a BJT in series with the CCR (Figure 12). 4000 3000 2000 Lux Linear 1000 0 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 DUTY CYCLE (%) 80 90 100 Figure 14. Luminous Emmitance vs. Duty Cycle Reducing EMI Designers creating circuits switching medium to high currents need to be concerned about Electromagnetic Interference (EMI). The LEDs and the CCR switch extremely fast, less than 100 nanoseconds. To help eliminate EMI, a capacitor can be added to the circuit across R2. (Figure 12) This will cause the slope on the rising and falling edge on the current through the circuit to be extended. The slope of the CCR on/off current can be controlled by the values of R1 and C1. The selected delay / slope will impact the frequency that is selected to operate the dimming circuit. The longer the delay, the lower the frequency will be. The delay time should not be less than a 10:1 ratio of the minimum on time. The frequency is also impacted by the resolution and dimming Figure 12. The method of pulsing the current through the LEDs is known as Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) and has become the preferred method of changing the light level. LEDs being a silicon device, turn on and off rapidly in response to the current through them being turned on and off. The switching time is in the order of 100 nanoseconds, this equates to a maximum frequency of 10 Mhz, and applications will typically operate from a 100 Hz to 100 kHz. Below 100 Hz www.onsemi.com 7 NSI50150ADT4G steps that are required. With a delay of 1.5 microseconds on the rise and the fall edges, the minimum on time would be 30 microseconds. If the design called for a resolution of 100 dimming steps, then a total duty cycle time (Ts) of 3 milliseconds or a frequency of 333 Hz will be required. www.onsemi.com 8 NSI50150ADT4G Thermal Considerations P D(MAX) + As power in the CCR increases, it might become necessary to provide some thermal relief. The maximum power dissipation supported by the device is dependent upon board design and layout. Mounting pad configuration on the PCB, the board material, and the ambient temperature affect the rate of junction temperature rise for the part. When the device has good thermal conductivity through the PCB, the junction temperature will be relatively low with high power applications. The maximum dissipation the device can handle is given by: T J(MAX) * T A R qJA Referring to the thermal table on page 2 the appropriate RqJA for the circuit board can be selected. AC Applications The CCR is a DC device; however, it can be used with full wave rectified AC as shown in application notes AND8433/D and AND8492/D and design notes DN05013/D and DN06065/D.
