Product details
Overview
HV9910CSG-G from Microchip Technology is an open-loop, peak-current-mode LED driver IC optimized for buck topology constant-current LED applications. It integrates a 15–450V internal linear regulator, supports both constant-frequency and constant-off-time operation, delivers 20–120 kHz oscillator frequency (via RT resistor), features TTL-compatible PWM dimming (0–100% duty, kHz-range), and provides 250 mV current-sense threshold with blanking. It is used in flat-panel display backlights and signage LED drivers requiring fast dimming response and minimal external components.
For engineers reviewing the HV9910CSG-G datasheet, HV9910CSG-G pinout, HV9910CSG-G application, or HV9910CSG-G equivalent, key selection considerations include its 8-lead SOIC package with exposed thermal pad, built-in over-temperature shutdown (140°C typ.), gate drive capability (±165 mA), and dual dimming support (linear 0–250 mV LD input + PWM on PWMD).
Technical Context
The HV9910CSG-G implements open-loop peak-current control using two comparators-one referenced to an internal 250 mV threshold and the other to the externally applied LD voltage-whose outputs feed an OR gate that resets an SR flip-flop to terminate each switching cycle. Its oscillator operates via a single RT resistor, configurable for constant-frequency (RT-to-GND) or constant-off-time (RT-to-GATE) modes, enabling inherent input-voltage rejection in the latter.
It incorporates a 15–450 V linear regulator delivering 7.5 V ±250 mV at VDD with line regulation ≤1.0 V and load regulation ≤0.1 V, eliminating need for auxiliary bias supplies. Thermal shutdown activates at 140°C (typ.) with 20°C hysteresis, reducing VIN current to <350 µA in fault condition.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Input Voltage | 15–450 VDC at VIN: powers IC directly without external bias supply; limited by thermal dissipation in package. |
| VDD Regulation | 7.25–7.75 V: stable internal rail for logic and gate driver; supports external resistor dividers for LD scaling. |
| Oscillator Frequency | 20–30 kHz (ROSC = 1 MΩ) or 80–120 kHz (ROSC = 249 kΩ): sets switching period or off-time depending on RT connection. |
| Current Sense Threshold | 225–275 mV at CS: defines peak inductor current limit; overridden by LD voltage if <250 mV. |
| GATE Drive Strength | ±165 mA source/sink: drives N-channel MOSFET gates with 30–50 ns rise/fall times (500 pF load). |
| Thermal Shutdown | 128–150°C activation with 10–30°C hysteresis: auto-recoverable protection preventing junction overheating. |
| PWM Dimming Input | TTL-compatible (VEN(lo) ≤1.0 V, VEN(hi) ≥2.4 V); enables instantaneous LED current on/off control up to few kHz. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-lead SOIC with exposed thermal pad (SG variant), RoHS-compliant (G suffix). Thermal resistance θJA = 84°C/W with heat slug, enabling higher power operation than standard 8-lead SOIC (101°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | High-voltage input | Connects to DC input (15–450 V); powers internal linear regulator; maximum absolute rating 470 V. |
| CS | Current sense input | Monitors voltage across external sense resistor; triggers GATE turn-off when exceeding LD or 250 mV threshold. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return for all internal circuitry and external power stage; must connect to power ground plane. |
| GATE | Power FET driver output | Drives gate of external N-MOSFET; ±165 mA drive strength; 30–50 ns edge times into 500 pF. |
| RT | Oscillator timing | Resistor connection determines mode: to GND → constant frequency; to GATE → constant off-time. |
| LD | Linear dimming input | 0–250 mV analog input setting current-sense threshold; overrides internal 250 mV reference. |
| VDD | Internal supply rail | 7.5 V regulated output; bypass with ≥0.1 µF low-ESR capacitor; can be externally supplied ≤12 V. |
| PWMD | PWM dimming control | TTL-level input: high → normal operation; low or open → GATE disabled; no effect on internal bias. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 15–450 V linear regulator | Eliminates need for auxiliary low-voltage supply; supports direct wide-input operation in AC/DC LED drivers. |
| Open-loop peak-current control | Enables accurate LED current regulation without loop compensation or high-side sensing; reduces BOM count. |
| Dual dimming interface | Independent linear (0–250 mV LD) and PWM (TTL PWMD) inputs allow flexible brightness control architectures. |
| Configurable oscillator mode | Single RT resistor selects constant-frequency (stable EMI) or constant-off-time (input-voltage rejection, >50% duty capable). |
| Built-in thermal shutdown | Auto-recoverable 140°C (typ.) protection with 20°C hysteresis prevents thermal runaway in enclosed fixtures. |
Applications

Use Value: 84°C/W θJA enables higher continuous output current vs. standard SOIC; over-temperature protection ensures reliability in enclosed housings. |
Use Scenario: Non-isolated AC/DC LED bulb driver converting rectified line voltage (e.g., 100–305 VDC) to regulated LED current. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: High-voltage input controller using VIN directly from bridge rectifier output; internal regulator eliminates need for separate bias winding. Use Value: 450 V max input rating and 15 V minimum enable operation across universal mains (90–265 VAC); minimal external parts reduce cost and size. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED driver controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| HV9910B | No over-temperature protection; identical pinout and electrical specs except thermal shutdown missing. | Not suitable for thermally constrained enclosures or high-ambient environments where junction temperature may exceed 125°C. | Select HV9910CSG-G when thermal safety compliance (e.g., UL 1310 Class 2) or field reliability in hot locations is required. |
| AL8862SP-13 | Constant-current buck controller with integrated 600 V MOSFET; requires no external switch; lower max input (600 V but rated for 400 V continuous). | Reduces component count further but lacks HV9910CSG-G's flexibility in FET selection, dimming options, and wide-input regulator. | Choose AL8862SP-13 for ultra-low-BOM cost in <10 W lamps; retain HV9910CSG-G for >10 W, multi-string, or thermally demanding designs. |
Compared with HV9910B, HV9910CSG-G adds critical thermal safety without layout change; versus AL8862SP-13, it trades integration for design flexibility, higher power scalability, and dual-dimming precision - making it optimal for mid-to-high-power LED systems needing robustness and configurability.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for HV9910CSG-G?
The HV9910CSG-G has an absolute maximum VIN-to-GND rating of +470 V, but its functional DC input range is specified as 15–450 V. Operation at 450 V is supported only when thermal limits permit - for example, with the SG package's 84°C/W θJA and proper PCB copper area. At higher voltages, power dissipation in the internal regulator must remain within safe junction temperature limits (≤125°C continuous, 150°C peak).
How does HV9910CSG-G implement thermal protection?
HV9910CSG-G includes auto-recoverable over-temperature protection that activates at 128–150°C junction temperature (140°C typical), reducing VIN current to <350 µA and disabling the GATE driver. Hysteresis of 10–30°C ensures stable restart once temperature falls below the recovery threshold. This feature is absent in the earlier HV9910B, making HV9910CSG-G suitable for thermally demanding LED fixtures.
Can HV9910CSG-G operate without an external MOSFET?
No. HV9910CSG-G is a controller IC only and requires an external N-channel power MOSFET connected to its GATE output. It does not integrate a power switch. The GATE driver delivers ±165 mA with 30–50 ns edges into 500 pF, supporting FETs with gate charge <25 nC at ≤100 kHz or <15 nC above 100 kHz - ensuring efficient switching in buck LED topologies.
What dimming methods does HV9910CSG-G support?
HV9910CSG-G supports two independent dimming methods: linear dimming via the LD pin (0–250 mV input adjusts current-sense threshold) and PWM dimming via the PWMD pin (TTL-compatible, 0–100% duty cycle, up to few kHz). Both can be used simultaneously - e.g., coarse adjustment via LD and fine modulation via PWMD - enabling precise brightness and color control in RGB systems.
What is the purpose of the exposed thermal pad in the HV9910CSG-G package?
The exposed thermal pad in the HV9910CSG-G's 8-lead SOIC-SG package provides a low-thermal-resistance path from the die to the PCB, achieving θJA = 84°C/W - significantly better than standard 8-lead SOIC (101°C/W). This pad must be soldered to a large copper pour for effective heat dissipation, enabling higher continuous output current and improved reliability in thermally constrained LED driver designs.
