RT8462
High Voltage High Current LED Driver Controller for
Buck, Boost or Buck-Boost Topology
General Description
The RT8462 is a current mode PWM controller designed
to drive an external MOSFET for high current LED
applications. With a current sense amplifier threshold of
190mV, the LED current is programmable with one
external current sense resistor. With the maximum
operating input voltage of 36V and output voltage up to
60V, the RT8462 is ideal for buck, boost or buck-boost
operation.
With the switching frequency programmable over 100kHz
to 1MHz, the external inductor and capacitors can be small
while maintaining high efficiency.
Dimming can be done by either analog or digital. The built-
in clamping comparator and filter allow easy low noise
analog dimming conversion from digital signal with only
one external capacitor.
The RT8462 is available in SOP-14 and WQFN-16L 3x3
packages.

Pin Function
Switch Frequency Set Pin. Connect a resistor from RSET to GND.
R
RSET
= 30k will set f
SW
= 370kHz.
External MOSFET Switch Current Sense. Connect the current sense
resistor between external N-MOSFET switch and the ground.
LED Current Sense Amplifier Positive Input with Common Mode Up to
60V.
LED Current Sense Amplifier Negative Input. Voltage threshold
between ISP and ISN is 190mV with common mode voltage up to 60V.
PWM Control Loop Compensation.
Analog Dimming Control. The effective programming voltage range of
the pin is between 0.2V and 1.2V.
By adding a 0.47F filtering capacitor on ACTL pin, the PWM dimming
signal on DCTL pin can be averaged and converted into analog
dimming signal on the ACTL pin.
Soft-Start. A capacitor of at least 10nF is required for proper soft-start.
Chip Enable (Active High). When this pin voltage is low, the chip is in
shutdown mode.
Over Voltage Protection. The PWM converter turns off when the
voltage of the pin goes to higher than 1.18V.
Power Supply Pin of the Chip. For good bypass, a low ESR capacitor
is required.
Ground. The Exposed Pad must be Soldered to a Large PCB and
Connected to GND for Maximum Power Dissipation.
Internal Gate Driver Bias. A good bypass capacitor is required.
External MOSFET Switch Gate Driver Output.
No Internal Connection.
