Simple LM3410 LED Driver

The LM3410 IC is a constant current LED driver useful in either boost con-verter or SEPIC design applications. A SEPIC (Single Ended Primary Induct-ance Conver ter) design allows the power supply’s output voltage to be set above, below or equal to its input voltage. In this application the chip is configured as a boost-converter (i.e. the output voltage is greater than the input voltage).

The LM3410 is available in two fixed-frequency variants. Using either the 525 kHz or 1.6 MHz clock version it is possi-ble to build a ver y compact LED driver. The output stage can supply up to 2.8 A, allowing several high-power LEDs to be driven from a rechargeable Lithium cell or several 1.5 V bat-teries. The chip also features a dimmer input giving simple PWM brightness control.Output current is defined by an external shunt resistor. To keep losses low the LM3410 uses an internal voltage reference of just 190 mV.
Power dissipation in the shunt resistor is therefore low. Using the desired value of LED current the value and power dissipation of the shunt resistor is given by:

R_Shunt = 0.19 V/I_LED
P_Shunt = 0.19 V*I_LED 

A 10 µH coil (L1) will be suf ficient for most applications providing it has a suitable satu-ration current rating. The Input and output capacitors should be 10 µF ceramic t ypes with a low value of E SR . Many distributor s including Farnell stock these component s. The Diode should beaSchottky type (as in all switching regulators). The author has developed a PCB for this design; the corresponding Eagle files can be freely downloaded from www.elektor.com/090850. In sum-mar y the most important features of the LM3410 are:
  • Integrated 2.8 A MOSFET driver.
  • Input voltage range from 2.7 V to 5.5 V.
  • Capability to drive up to six series connected LEDs (maximum output 24 V).
  • Up to 88 % efficiency.
  • Available is 525 kHz and 1.6 MHz versions.
  • Allows both boost and SEPIC designs.
  • Available in 5 pin SOT23 or 6 pin LLP outline.

Dimming Controlled LED Driver Using LM3409

This dimming controlled LED driver circuit is designed using LM3409 P-channel MosFET controller for step-down (buck) current regulators.The LM3409 devices use Constant Off-Time (COFT) control to regulate an accurate constant current without the need for external control loop compensation Dimming controlled LED driver electronic circuit require an input voltage of 36 volts and will provide at output a voltage of 24 volts at a maximum current of 700mA.

DC motor driver with H Bridge IC L293D

Making a DC motor driver with H-Bridge technique can use IC L293D as in the article "DC Motor Driver H-Bridge L293 (2 Motor DC)"is. DC motor driver L293D can be used to control the DC motor 2 pieces at once. DC Motor Driver L293D can be used to control a DC motor continuously or with a PWM technique. Dc motor driver circuit in the article "DC Motor Driver H-Bridge L293 (2 Motor DC)" only use IC L293D only. For more details see the following figure.

Working system of DC motor driver L293D is to provide control signals in the form of logic or pulse to the input lines 1A - 1B for DC motor control M1 and the input 2A - 2B for the control of DC motor M2 with the following conditions:
Input A Input B Motor DC
0 0 Motor silent
1 0 motor rotates counterclockwise
0 1 Motor berputer clockwise
1 1 Motor silent
Description: Enable Input given a logic 1 to obtain such data in the table above.
