Test Data www.ti.com 9 Test Data 9.1 Current Matching With PWM Dimming The following table was taken with a 300-Hz PWM dimming frequency. Each LED output was loaded with 32 Cree XLamp XR-E diodes. At full load the current was controlled to a target current of 250 mA through each LED output string.
Test Data www.ti.com 9.2 Efficiency Measuring efficiency with PWM dimming requires the use of power analyzers on the LED output/s. The following efficiency table was taken with LED voltage strings set to roughly 98 V. 98-W EFFICIENCY WITH PWM DIMMING 95 94 93 Efficiency - % 92 91 90 89 88 87 Efficiency 390 V 86 Efficiency 370 V Efficiency 410 V 85 10 25 40 70 55 85 100 Dimming - % Figure 8.

Test Data 9.4 www.ti.com Zero Voltage Switching One of the major benefits of a LLC resonant half-bridge converter is the ability to achieve Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) at the primary switch node. Figure 10 shows the primary transformer current (CH4), the current sense voltage (CH3), the switch node on the primary at the drain of FET Q2 (Q2g) and the gate drive signal to FET Q2 (Q2g). The gate drive signal going to FET Q1 is the inverse of CH1.
