Buck Configuration High-Power LED Driver
Author: Keith Curtis Microchip Technology Inc.
INTRODUCTION
The circuit and firmware described in this application note demonstrates a minimal parts count driver/controller for a high-power (1W or greater) LED. The circuit is based on a buck topology switching power supply using the on-chip comparator peripheral within the PIC12F675 PIC® microcontroller. The switching power supply design ensures efficient power transfer between the system battery and the output LED.
The Flash PIC microcontroller is used to implement intensity control, automated intensity compensation for low battery conditions, and the ability to playback preprogrammed Flash sequences.
