From 295347cb01201de0d022414480819af9b9605c32 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Phillips Date: Tue, 24 Sep 2019 21:12:38 +1200 Subject: Increase UVLO turn-on to 43 V The initial design assumed that the UVLO was a feature of the LM3409 not needed by this board. It was set at the datasheet values of 10.1 V turn-on with 1.1 V of hysteresis. However, during testing, I have found that the supply will sink a maximum of around 600 mA into the load when operated into dropout. The LM3409 datasheet confirms that this is expected behaviour. Since the supply is designed for LEDs modules with a forward voltage of 37 V, this patch changes the UVLO to just over 43 volts, meaning that we do not run the LEDs above the supply's design current of 450 mA. --- led-driver.kicad_pcb | 2 +- led-driver.sch | 2 +- 2 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/led-driver.kicad_pcb b/led-driver.kicad_pcb index 1a855f4..70b9d80 100644 --- a/led-driver.kicad_pcb +++ b/led-driver.kicad_pcb @@ -768,7 +768,7 @@ (fp_text reference R2 (at 0 1.905) (layer F.SilkS) (effects (font (size 1 1) (thickness 0.15))) ) - (fp_text value 6.98kΩ (at 0 1.75 270) (layer F.Fab) + (fp_text value 1.47kΩ (at 0 1.75 270) (layer F.Fab) (effects (font (size 1 1) (thickness 0.15))) ) (fp_text user %R (at 0 0 270) (layer F.Fab) diff --git a/led-driver.sch b/led-driver.sch index 92d05ce..ba69f40 100644 --- a/led-driver.sch +++ b/led-driver.sch @@ -173,7 +173,7 @@ L led-driver-rescue:R_Small R2 U 1 1 59AEAEBF P 4100 2700 F 0 "R2" H 4150 2700 50 0000 L CNN -F 1 "6.98kΩ" H 3800 2700 50 0000 L CNN +F 1 "1.47kΩ" H 3800 2700 50 0000 L CNN F 2 "Resistors_SMD:R_0805" H 4100 2700 50 0001 C CNN F 3 "" H 4100 2700 50 0001 C CNN 1 4100 2700 -- cgit v1.1
