Product details
Overview
HV9922N3-G from Microchip Technology is a 3-pin, fixed off-time PWM LED driver IC with integrated 475V MOSFET, designed for universal AC input (85–264VAC) and constant-current LED string regulation at 50mA. It operates in continuous conduction mode (CCM), features internal VDD linear regulation (7.5V), 10.5μs typical off-time, and under-voltage lockout (5.0V threshold). Used in low-power decorative lighting fixtures requiring compact, cost-effective offline LED drivers.
For engineers reviewing the HV9922N3-G datasheet, HV9922N3-G pinout, HV9922N3-G application, or HV9922N3-G equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world design constraints (e.g., parasitic capacitance limits, blanking time), thermal derating data, and validated alternative options - all grounded in Microchip's DS20005311A specification.
Technical Context
The HV9922N3-G implements a peak-current-controlled buck converter with fixed off-time (TOFF ≈ 10.5μs) and leading-edge blanking (300ns), enabling stable constant-current regulation across 85–264VAC inputs. Its internal 475V MOSFET and 7.5V VDD regulator eliminate external high-voltage bias components.
It uses a current-sense comparator with 49–63mA threshold (typ. 50mA), hysteresis-based UVLO (5.0V/200mV), and operates over –40°C to +125°C junction temperature. Conduction loss depends on RON (≤210Ω) and duty cycle; switching loss dominates at high VIN due to CP discharge.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | Fixed 50mA - sets LED string brightness and thermal load without external feedback. |
| Input Voltage Range | 85–264VAC / 20–400VDC - enables direct universal mains operation without pre-regulator. |
| MOSFET Breakdown | 475V - supports ≥400VDC rail with margin for transients in offline LED applications. |
| Off-Time (TOFF) | 8–13μs (typ. 10.5μs) - determines minimum switching frequency and ripple current in CCM buck topology. |
| VDD Regulation | 7.5V ±0.5V - powers internal logic; requires 0.1μF bypass capacitor at VDD pin. |
| UVLO Threshold | 5.0V with 200mV hysteresis - prevents erratic startup during brownout or slow AC rise. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C junction - defines PCB copper area and heatsinking requirements for TO-92 package. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-92 (3-lead plastic through-hole), marked "HV9922 N3 e3", Pb-free/ROHS-compliant (G suffix).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - DRAIN | Drain of internal HV MOSFET & input to linear regulator | Connects to rectified AC/DC input rail; handles up to 475V; source of switching node parasitics. |
| 2 - GND | Common reference for control circuits and power return | Must be single-point ground tied to input filter capacitor; serves as thermal path in TO-92. |
| 3 - VDD | Regulated supply for internal logic and gate drive | Supplied by internal LDO from DRAIN; requires local 0.1μF ceramic bypass to GND. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 475V MOSFET | Eliminates external HV switch and associated gate drive complexity in offline buck designs. |
| Fixed 10.5μs Off-Time | Enables predictable ripple current and stable CCM operation without loop compensation. |
| 300ns Leading-Edge Blanking | Prevents false current-sense triggering from parasitic spikes during MOSFET turn-on. |
| Internal 7.5V VDD Regulator | Derives bias from DRAIN rail; removes need for auxiliary winding or capacitive dropper supply. |
| 50mA Fixed Output Current | Guarantees consistent LED brightness and simplifies BOM by removing current-setting resistors. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar constant-current LED driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| AL8862SP-13 | 40V max input, external MOSFET required, adjustable current (10–120mA), higher quiescent current (1.2mA vs. 350μA) | Requires external HV FET and current-set resistor; suited for lower-voltage DC-fed systems, not direct AC mains input | Select when adjustable current or DC-only input is needed; not suitable for universal AC replacement. |
| BP5758D | No integrated MOSFET, 500V external FET support, programmable current via resistor, no internal VDD regulator | Needs external bias supply and gate driver; offers dimming interface but adds layout complexity and BOM cost | Choose for designs requiring analog/PWM dimming or higher efficiency at >100mA; not pin-compatible or functionally identical. |
Compared with AL8862SP-13 and BP5758D, the HV9922N3-G provides fully integrated AC-mains operation with zero external active components, tighter current accuracy (±10% vs. ±15%), and lower system-level BOM count - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, space-constrained decorative lighting.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the HV9922N3-G can handle?
The HV9922N3-G features an internal 475V breakdown-rated MOSFET, allowing safe operation with peak input voltages up to 400VDC - sufficient for full-wave rectified 264VAC mains (≈373V peak) plus margin. Exceeding 475V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings in DS20005311A.
Does the HV9922N3-G require an external current-setting resistor?
No. The HV9922N3-G provides a factory-trimmed, fixed 50mA output current - no external resistor or feedback network is needed. This is confirmed in the Product Identification System (DS20005311A-page 17) and Electrical Specifications table (ITHL = 49–63mA for HV9922).
Can the HV9922N3-G be used with triac dimmers?
Yes. The HV9922N3-G is explicitly stated as compatible with triac dimmers in Section 4.0 of DS20005311A. Its fixed off-time architecture and leading-edge blanking enable stable phase-cut dimming performance without additional circuitry.
What is the thermal resistance (θJA) of the HV9922N3-G in its TO-92 package?
The HV9922N3-G in TO-92 has a thermal resistance of 132°C/W (DS20005311A-page 5). This value assumes standard JEDEC test conditions; actual board-level θJA depends on copper area, via count, and airflow - underscoring the need for adequate GND pad copper in layout.
Is the HV9922N3-G pin-compatible with other variants like HV9921N3-G or HV9923N3-G?
Yes - all HV992x-N3-G variants share identical TO-92 pinout (DRAIN/GND/VDD), same package dimensions, and identical functional block diagram. Only the internal current-sense threshold differs (20mA/50mA/30mA), so they are electrically interchangeable if output current requirements align.
