8.3.3 Shunt FET or Matrix dimming: Maximum Off-timer Calculation

Shunt FET or Matrix dimming is typically used where precise control of the LED current is required. For the LED current and light output to most accurately match the control signal, the current source supplying the LEDs must be as close to ideal as possible. With the TPS92518-Q1 hysteretic control and maximum off-time setting, the LED current can approach ideal. Two waveforms show the result during shunt FET dimming with and without optimized maximum off-time control. The result with maximum off-time control is superior and approaches an ideal current source.

Figure 21. Shunt FET Dimming: Optimized Maximum Off-time.

To ensure the correct maximum off-time when shunt dimming it is necessary to calculate the off-time required when the output is in the shunted condition. The following procedure may be used:

  1. Estimate or measure the output voltage during the shunted condition.
    2. Equation 13. TPS92518-Q1 TPS92518_ShuntedVoltage.gif

    Or for the Matrix approach:

    Equation 14. TPS92518-Q1 TPS92518_ShuntedVoltage_Matrix.gif
  2. Compute the off-time required (tOFF-Shunt) when the output is shunted.
    3. Equation 15. TPS92518-Q1 q_coff_slusbz6.gif
  3. Compute the Maximum Off-time Register Value.
