Supertex HV9964
The HV9964 is a current mode control LED driver IC designed to control single switch PWM converters (boost or SEPIC) in a constant frequency mode. The controller uses a peak current-mode control scheme (with programmable slope compensation) and includes an internal transconductance amplifier to accurately control the output current over all line and load conditions. The IC also provides a load switch gate drive output, which can be used to disconnect the LEDs in case of a fault condition using an external load switch.FEATURES

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The 10V external FET drivers allow the use of standard level FETs. The low voltage 5V AVDD is used to power the internal logic and also acts as a reference voltage to set the current level. The HV9964 features Supertex’ proprietary PWM dimming control algorithm achieving a dimming pulse of a few hundred nanoseconds from a continuous conduction mode (CCM) or discontinuousconduction mode (DCM) boost converter, while maintaining the instantaneous LED constant current determined by the reference voltage input.
