On Semiconductors NCP3066 Constant Current Switching Regulator, for LEDs.
Welcome to the training module on Constant Current Switching Regulators for LEDs . Here we study the working principles of this device and a few of the Demo boards
The NCP3066 is a monolithic switching regulator designed to deliver constant current for powering high brightness LEDs. The device has a very low feedback voltage of 235 mV (nominal) which is used to regulate the average current of the LED string. In addition, the NCP3066 has a wide input voltage up to 40 V to allow it to operate from a 12 V AC or a 12−36 V DC supply, commonly used for lighting applications as well as unregulated supplies such as rechargeable batteries. The NCP3066 switching regulator can be configured in Step−Down (Buck), Step−Up (Boost) and Voltage−Inverting topologies with a minimum number of external components. The ON/OFF pin provides PWM dimming capability or a low power shutdown mode.
The NCP3066 operates as a fixed oscillator frequency output voltage ripple gated regulator. In general, this mode of operation is somewhat analogous to a capacitor charge pump and does not require dominant pole loop compensation for converter stability. During initial converter start-up, the feedback comparator senses that the output voltage level is below nominal. This causes the output switch to turn on and off at a frequency and duty cycle controlled by the oscillator, thus pumping up the output filter capacitor.
This is Buck Demo Board, with External Switch. The NCP3066 is a monolithic switching regulator designed to deliver constant current for powering high brightness LEDs. The device has a low feedback voltage of 235 mV which is used to regulate the average current of the LED string. The device supports a buck configuration with a wide input voltage range from 3.0V to 40.0V. The NCP3066 is a low cost converter that supports a peek current of 1.5A with a maximum duty cycle of 85.7%. The ON/OFF function allows turning off the device for low consumption mode, or driving the LED brightness using the PWM signal. The NCP3066 can also be used as a controller for peak currents greater than 1.5A when an external device is used. The board Size: 53mm x 50mm x 14mm.

This is the SEPIC Demo Board The NCP3066 is a monolithic switching regulator designed to deliver constant current for powering high brightness LEDs. The device has a very low feedback voltage of 235 mV (nominal) which is used to regulate the average current of the LED string.
