General Description
DD311 is a single-channel constant current LED driver, which incorporates current mirror and
current switch, designed to drive power LEDs. It can provide a maximum sink current of 1A,
adjustable by reference current input. The output current is 100 times the input current value set by
an external resistor or bias voltage. Tuning or enabling the bias voltage can provide dot correction or
global brightness control in LEDs system. The Maximum output voltage of 36V can provide more
series power LEDs in a string. The output enable allows dimming control applications.

Transient Characteristics
In order to reduce the overshoot or undershoot(Vout) during switching large current, it is

recommended adding a large enough capacitor between VLED and GND to keep LED supply
voltage(VLED) stable. The longer rise time and fall time of the EN dimming signal, adjustable by
RC filter, produce the smooth transient response of output current. The two output waveforms
illustrating the EN dimming signal with and without RC filter are given below:
without RC filter with RC filter

Constant-Current Output
Constant-current value is set by the reference current input. The output current will be 100
times the input current value produced by an external resistor between the REXT pin and the bias
voltage*2 or, alternatively, force the low bias voltage to REXT pin. Varying the resistor or the bias
voltage value can adjust the current scale ranging up to 1A. Notice that the output current is a little
increasing or decreasing until the device temperature and ambient temperature are balance. The
output current value is calculated roughly by the following equation:
ILED (A) ～ 100 × ( Vbias－ VREXT ) / REXT (ohm) = 100 × IREF (A)
*2
The variation of bias voltage influences the output stability directly.

Power Dissipation
Notice that the power dissipation of a semiconductor chip is limited to its package and ambient
temperature, in which the device requires the maximum output current calculated for given
operating conditions. The maximum allowable power consumption can be calculated by the
following equation:
Tj(junction temperature)(max)(°C)– Ta(ambient temperature)(°C)

Pd(max)(Watt) =
Rth(junction-to-air thermal resistance)(°C/Watt)
The relationship between power dissipation and operating temperature can be refer to the figure

Based on the Pd(max), the maximum allowable voltage of output terminal can be calculated as
