Applications Information
PWM OUTPUT CURRENT CONTROL & DIMMING
The ZXLD1370 has a dedicated PWM dimming input that allows a wide dimming frequency range from 100Hz to 1kHz with
up to 1000:1 resolution; however higher dimming frequencies can be used – at the expense of dimming dynamic range and
accuracy.
Typically, for a PWM frequency of 1kHz, the error on the current linearity is lower than 5%; in particular the accuracy is
better than 1% for PWM from 5% to 100%. This is shown in the graph below:
For a PWM frequency of 100Hz, the error on the current linearity is lower than 2.5%; it becomes negligible for PWM greater
than 5%. This is shown in the graph below:
The PWM pin is designed to be driven by both 3.3V and 5V logic levels. It can be driven also by an open drain/collector
transistor. In this case the designer can either use the internal pull-up network or an external pull-up network in order to
speed-up PWM transitions, as shown in the Boost/ Buck-Boost section.
