LM3402/02HV Demo Board
Introduction
The LM3402/LM3402HV is a buck regulator derived con-
trolled current source designed to drive a series string of high
power, high brightness LEDs (HBLEDs) such as the Lux-
eon™ I Emitter at forward currents of up to 500 mA. The board
can accept an input voltage ranging from 6V to 42V when
using the LM3402. When using the pin-for-pin compatible
LM3402HV the upper bound of input voltage is 75V. The con-
verter output voltage adjusts as needed to maintain a con-
stant current through the LED array. The LM3402/02HV is a
true step-down regulator with an output voltage range ex-
tending from a V
V
It can maintain regulated current through any number of LEDs
as long as the combined forward voltage of the array does not
exceed V
Circuit Performance LM3402
The LM3402 circuit and BOM have been designed to provide
a constant forward current of 350 mA to a single LED with a
forward voltage of approximately 3.5V. (Typical of white, blue,
and green LEDs using InGaN technology.) When powered
from a 24V ±5% input the demo board will maintain the aver-
age LED current, I
current, Δi
frequency for the demo board is 600 kHz ± 10% over the input
voltage range of 6V to 42V.
Circuit Performance LM3402HV
The LM3402HV circuit and BOM have been designed to pro-
vide a constant forward current of 350 mA to a single LED
with a forward voltage of approximately 3.5V. When powered
from a 48V ± 5% input the demo board will maintain I
±5% of 350 mA. Ripple current will not exceed 70 mA peak-
to-peak. Switching frequency for the demo board is 250 kHz
±10% over the input voltage range of 6V to 75V.
Connecting to LED Array
The LM3402/02HV demo board includes a female 6-pin SIP,
J1, connector as well as two standard 94mil turret connectors
for the cathode and anode connections of the LED array. Fig-
ure 1 shows the pinout of J1. Solid, 18 or 20 gauge wire with
about 1 cm of insulation stripped away makes a convenient,
solderless connection to J1.

Setting the LED Current
The default forward current I
350 mA, typical of many 1W LEDs. To adjust this value the
current setting resistor R
following equation:
This resistor should be rated to handle the power dissipation
of the LED current. For example, the closest 5% tolerance
resistor to set an LED current of 350 mA is 0.56 Ω. In steady
state this resistor will dissipate (0.352 x 0.56) = 69 mW, indi-
cating that a resistor with a 1/8W power rating is appropriate.
PWM Dimming
The DIM1 terminal on the PCB provides an input for a pulse
width modulation signal for dimming of the LED array. In order
to fully enable and disable the LM3402/02HV the PWM signal
should have a maximum logic low level of 0.8V and a mini-
mum logic high level of 2.2V. The maximum PWM dimming
frequency, minimum PWM duty cycle and maximum duty cy-
cle are illustrated in Figure 2. PWM frequency should be at
least one order of magnitude below the LM3402/02HV switch-
ing frequency. The interval t

LM3402 and LM3402HV demo boards circuits are shown in
