APPLICATION INFORMATION
TS19503 is a high efficiency, hysteretic control LED driver with integrated power MOSFET. The device operates with
a wide input voltage from 5V to 75V and up to 2A of output current. It also provides a high accuracy output current
for ±2% in all the load and line regulation.

Setting nominal average output current with external resistor RCS

The nominal average output current in the LED is determined by the value of the external current sense resistor
(RCS) connected between VIN and VCS and is given by:

0.1V
ILED = R
CS

This equation is valid when DIM pin is floating. Actually, RCS sets the maximum average current which can be
adjusted to a lower one by dimming.

Under Voltage Lockout (UVLO)

The TS19503 includes a UVLO feature with 550mV hysteresis. The internal MOSFET turns off when VDD falls below
4.0V (typ.).

PWM / Linear Dimming (DIM)

A Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) signal with duty cycle PWM can be applied to the DIM pin, to adjust the output
current to a value below the nominal average value set by resistor RCS:

0.1V × D
ILED = RCS

PWM dimming provides reduced brightness by modulating the LED current between 0% and 100%. The LED
brightness is controlled by adjusting the relative ratios of the on time to the off time. To ensure this switching process
between on and off state is invisible by human eyes, the switching frequency must be greater than 100Hz. Above
100Hz, the human eyes average the on and off times, seeing only an effective brightness that is proportional to the
LED’s on time duty cycle. The advantage of PWM dimming is that the forward current is always constant; therefore
the LED color does not vary with brightness as it does with linear dimming.
A linear signal with analog voltage can be applied to DIM pin too. To adjust the output current to a value below the
nominal average value set by resistor RCS:

0.1V VDIM
ILED = R ×
CS 1.6V

For Example:

0.1V 0.4V
ILED = × = 250mA (VDIM = 0.4V ,R C S = 0.1 Ω )
0.1 Ω 1.6V

APPLICATION INFORMATION (CONTINUE)

Linear dimming range of LED output current between 6.25% and 100% when DIM voltage from 0.1V to 1.6V. LED
current will cutoff when VDIM <0.1V and restart if VDIM >0.15V which 0.05V hysteresis voltage.

NTC application
The TS19503 provides two applications circuits for NTC (thermistor) as below. NTC thermistors are elements whose
resistance falls with an increase in temperature and find use in applications such as temperature sensing.
The first application puts an NTC from DIM pin to GND. The device provides a constant current for DIM pin. When
the temperature of the LED module or driver increased, the VDIM will decrease inverse ratio with NTC.
The second application connects a Resistor from VDD to DIM, and an NTC from DIM to GND. VDIM is divided across
two resistor and NTC. The two applications provide a thermal protection by decreasing the output current by varying
VDIM

Open Load Flag

The TS19503 is constant current output with hysteresis function. When VIN-VCS lower than 1V, the open-load
happen, and the fault flag becomes high.

Over Temperature Protection (OTP)

Internal 170℃ comparator will trigger temperature protection (OTP). OTP will shut down system, until internal
temperature back to 140℃.

Fault flag (FLT) application

The device provides a FLT pin to notify the user when over temperature protection or open load has happened.
Connect to pullup resistor from VDD or float and N-channel MOSFET open-drain output is high when a fault condition
is triggered.

Soft start function
The TS19503 features an optional soft-start behavior that allows for gradual brightness transition. This is achieved
by simply connecting an external capacitor between the DIM pin and GND. An internal current source will then charge
this capacitor for soft-start behavior. The soft-start time is calculator as below:

LAYOUT GUIDELINES
 The current sense RSENSE must be placed as close to the VIN and CS pins as possible.

 The decoupling capacitor Cbypass must be placed as close to the VIN pin and D1 Cathode as possible.

 The input loop includes input capacitor, and Schottky diode. The LX pin should be as short as possible.

 Keep the main current traces as short and wide as possible.

 The DIM pin trace needs to be kept far away from LX terminal.

 The AGND should be connected to a strong ground plane.

 The IC thermal pad should be connected to a large ground copper area, preferably connected to the
inner AGND from the thermal vias underneath the IC for optimal cooling.

 AGND and PGND must be separated, It is important that the AGND and PGND of an IC be connected at
a single point.
