Figure 18. Voltage control principle: internal schematic
4.7 Voltage feedforward block
The current control structure uses the V
CLED
voltage to define the output current, according
to Equation 6 in Section 4.5. Actually, the constant current comparator will be affected by an
internal propagation delay T
D
, which will switch off the MOSFET with a peak current than
higher the foreseen value.
This current overshoot will be equal to:
Equation 8
The previous terms introduce a small error on the calculated average output current set-
point, depending on the input voltage.
The HVLED815PF device implements a line feedforward function, which solves the issue by
introducing an input voltage dependent offset on the current sense signal, in order to adjust
the cycle-by-cycle current limitation.
The internal schematic is shown in Figure 19.
