Description
This pin is the input of an 8V – 450V linear regulator.
This is the power supply pin for all internal circuits.
It must be bypassed with a low ESR capacitor to GND (≥ 0.1μF).
This pin is the output gate driver for an external N-channel power MOSFET.
Ground return for all internal circuitry. This pin must be electrically connected to the ground of the power
train.
This is the PWM dimming input of the IC. When this pin is pulled to GND, the gate driver is turned off.
When the pin is pulled high, the gate driver operates normally.
This pin is the current sense pin used to sense the FET current by means of an external sense resistor.
When this pin exceeds the lower of either the internal 250mV or the voltage at the LD pin, the gate output
goes low.
This pin is the linear dimming input and sets the current sense threshold as long as the voltage at the pin
is less than 250mV (typ).
This pin sets the oscillator frequency. When a resistor is connected between RT and GND, the HV9910B
operates in constant frequency mode. When the resistor is connected between RT and GATE, the IC
operates in constant off-time mode.
