Output Voltage Higher than 15 V
than 15 V by adding an external high voltage N−Channel
MOSFET in series with the internal MOSFET switch as
shown in Figure 33. The drain−to−source breakdown
voltage of the external MOSFET must be at least 1 V higher
than the output voltage. The diode D1 helps the external
MOSFET to turn off and ensures that most of the voltage
across the external MOSFET during the switch−off period.
Since the high voltage external MOSFET is in series with the
internal MOSFET, higher break down voltage is achieved
but the current capability is not increased.
35 which can output voltage up to 30 V. For this circuit, a
diode−capacitor charge−pump voltage doubler constructed
by D2, D3 and C1 is added. During the internal MOSFET
switch−on time, the LX pin is shorted to ground and D2 will
charge up C1 to the stepped up voltage at the cathode of D1.
During the MOSFET switch−off time, the voltage at V
will be almost equal to the double of the voltage at the
cathode of D1. The V

the maximum voltage at the cathode of D1 is 15 V, the

Negative Voltage Generation
output by adding a diode−capacitor charge−pump circuit
(D2, D3, and C1) to the LX pin as shown in Figure 32. The
feedback voltage resistor divider is still connected to the
positive output to monitor the positive output voltage and a
small value capacitor is used at C2. When the internal
MOSFET switches off, the voltage at the LX pin charges up
the capacitor through diode D2. When the MOSFET
switches on, the capacitor C1 is effectively connected like a
reversed battery and C1 discharges the stored charges
through the R
charge up C
Since the negative voltage output is not directly monitored
by the NCP1403, the output load regulation of the negative
output is not as good as the standard positive output circuit.
The resistance values of the resistors of the voltage divider
can be one−tenth of those used in the positive output circuit
in order to improve the regulation at light load.

and result in a high output voltage which will cause the LX
pin voltage to exceed its maximum rating. A Zener diode can
be added across the output and FB pin to limit the voltage at
the LX pin. The Zener voltage should be higher than the total
forward voltage of the LED string.
