High brightness LED driver controller application

The MAX16801A/B and MAXl6802A/B use a constant current to drive the HB LEDs in general lighting and display applications to provide the required control. The MAX16801A/B is suitable for general purpose AC input LED drivers , while the MAX16802A/B is specified for low voltage (10.8 to 24 V) DC input LED drivers . The HB LED driver circuit control IC consisting of MAX16801A/B and MAX16802A/B is mainly used in LCD TV and LCD monitor RGB backlighting, commercial and industrial lighting , decoration and construction.

3.1.1 Input Startup Circuit

The wake-up threshold of the MAX16801 pin UVLO/EN is 1.28 V. The voltage on this pin is only 1.28 V and the circuit can start working. Resistor dividers (R2 and R3) can be used as programming input startup voltages.

The MAX16801 has a built-in bootstrap UVLO circuit with large hysteresis that is useful for designing high-voltage HB LED drivers. When VIN exceeds the threshold level of 23.6 V, the circuit starts. During startup, the UVLO circuit keeps the CPWM comparator, ILIM comparator, oscillator, and output driver off to reduce current consumption. Once VIN reaches 23.6 V, the CPWM and ILIM comparators and oscillators are turned on and the output driver switches are allowed. If VIN drops below 9.7 V, the comparator, oscillator, and output driver are turned off.
