The demonstration circuit is assembled as a boost topology from 8V to 80V input and up to 80V LED output at 0.5A with an open-LED status pin (DC1319B-A) or a sync input pin (DC1319B-B). DC1319B features PWM dimming, analog dimming, shutdown, and open-LED overvoltage protection. Efficiency at 12VIN is as high as 91% for 40W output.
The switching frequency is set at 300kHz to accommodate the automotive switching frequency range. Small ceramic input and output capacitors are used to save space and cost and a high voltage 100V external power switch and a 100V catch diode are used for up to 40W (80V at 0.5A) output as assembled. The open-LED overvoltage protection limits the output to approximately 92V if the LED string is opened.
