Product details
Overview
HV9922N8-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 driving at 50mA. It operates in continuous conduction mode (CCM), features internal VDD linear regulation at 7.5V, 10.5μs typical off-time, and is packaged in Pb-free TO-243AA (SOT-89). It targets low-power decorative lighting applications requiring high-voltage direct drive without external gate drivers.
For engineers reviewing the HV9922N8-G datasheet, HV9922N8-G pinout, HV9922N8-G application, or HV9922N8-G equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, package-specific thermal and electrical specs, real-world design constraints (e.g., parasitic capacitance limits, blanking time), and validated alternative options - all grounded in Microchip's DS20005311A documentation.
Technical Context
The HV9922N8-G implements a peak-current-controlled, fixed off-time buck converter architecture with an internal 475V MOSFET and integrated 7.5V VDD regulator. Its current sense comparator triggers at 49–63mA threshold, enabling precise 50mA output current regulation across 85–264VAC inputs.
It incorporates 300ns leading-edge blanking to suppress false triggering from parasitic spikes, and its TOFF generator delivers 8–13μs off-time independent of line voltage - ensuring stable current regulation despite wide input variation and minimizing output ripple sensitivity to inductor selection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Current | Fixed 50mA - sets LED string brightness and thermal load without external feedback components. |
| Input Voltage Range | 85–264VAC / 20–400VDC - enables direct universal AC mains connection without pre-regulator stage. |
| MOSFET Breakdown | 475V - supports operation up to 400VDC bus with margin for transients and rectified peak AC voltages. |
| Off-Time (TOFF) | 8–13μs (typ. 10.5μs) - determines minimum switching frequency and governs inductor sizing and ripple trade-offs. |
| VDD Regulation | 7.5V ±0.5V - powers internal logic and gate drive; derived from DRAIN via internal linear regulator. |
| Under-Voltage Lockout | 5.0V threshold with 200mV hysteresis - prevents erratic startup during brownout or slow AC rise. |
| ON Resistance (RON) | ≤210Ω at IDRAIN = 50mA - directly impacts conduction loss and thermal dissipation in SOT-89 package. |
| Thermal Resistance (θja) | 133°C/W (SOT-89) - defines maximum power dissipation limit (≈1600mW @25°C) before junction overheating. |
Pinout & Package
Package: TO-243AA (SOT-89), 3-lead, Pb-free/ROHS-compliant (G suffix), with exposed thermal pad for enhanced heat dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - DRAIN | Drain of internal HV MOSFET + input to VDD linear regulator | Connects to high-voltage input node (up to 400VDC); supplies energy to internal regulator and switches LED current path. |
| 2 - GND | Common reference for all internal circuits and external bypass capacitor | Must be single-point connected to input filter ground; serves as thermal sink and EMI reference plane. |
| 3 - VDD | Power supply for control logic and gate driver | Requires local 0.1μF low-impedance ceramic bypass capacitor; regulated at 7.5V from DRAIN. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 475V MOSFET | Eliminates need for external high-voltage switch and gate driver, reducing BOM count and layout complexity. |
| Fixed off-time control | Enables predictable inductor sizing and stable current regulation across full AC line range without compensation network. |
| 300ns leading-edge blanking | Prevents false current-sense triggering from parasitic turn-on spikes, improving reliability in compact layouts. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| HV9922N3-G | Same die, TO-92 package (θja = 132°C/W, Pd = 740mW); lower thermal capacity and higher RON impact at 50mA. | Suitable only for lower-power LED strings (<15 LEDs) or forced-air-cooled environments due to reduced power handling. | Select when board space is constrained and thermal load remains below 500mW; verify junction temperature rise with actual layout. |
| AL8862SP-13 | External MOSFET required; adjustable output current (10–150mA); 600V MOSFET rating; requires external current sense resistor and compensation network. | Offers design flexibility for variable-output or higher-power LED arrays but increases BOM count and layout sensitivity. | Choose when programmability, higher voltage margin, or multi-string configurations are needed - not a drop-in replacement. |
Compared with HV9922N3-G, the HV9922N8-G provides 116% higher power dissipation capability and superior thermal performance in SOT-89; versus AL8862SP-13, it trades configurability for integration simplicity and lower system-level component count in fixed 50mA applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum LED string voltage supported by HV9922N8-G?
The HV9922N8-G supports LED strings up to approximately 400VDC forward voltage, limited by its 475V MOSFET breakdown rating and the requirement to maintain sufficient headroom for regulation. In practice, with 85–264VAC input (rectified peak ~375V), typical designs use 20–40V LED strings - the IC regulates current, not voltage, so string voltage is determined by LED VF sum and input ripple. HV9922N8-G itself does not impose a fixed upper string voltage limit beyond safe MOSFET operation.
Does HV9922N8-G require an external current sense resistor?
No, HV9922N8-G does not require an external current sense resistor. Its 50mA output current is internally preset via a factory-trimmed current sense comparator threshold (49–63mA typ.), eliminating external sensing components and simplifying layout. This fixed-current architecture reduces bill-of-materials cost and improves production consistency compared to adjustable-current drivers.
Can HV9922N8-G operate from DC input sources?
Yes, HV9922N8-G supports DC input voltages from 20V to 400V, as specified in Microchip's DS20005311A. It functions identically under DC as under rectified AC - regulating LED current at 50mA using fixed off-time control and internal peak-current sensing. This makes HV9922N8-G suitable for battery-backed lighting, PoE-powered signage, and industrial DC bus applications.
What is the purpose of the 300ns blanking time in HV9922N8-G?
The 300ns blanking time in HV9922N8-G disables the current sense comparator immediately after MOSFET turn-on to prevent false triggering caused by parasitic ringing and voltage spikes at the DRAIN node. This ensures accurate current measurement during steady-state conduction and improves system reliability - especially critical in compact layouts with high dv/dt switching and unshielded inductors where parasitics dominate.
How does thermal performance differ between HV9922N8-G and HV9922N3-G?
HV9922N8-G in SOT-89 has θja = 133°C/W and 1600mW max power dissipation at 25°C, while HV9922N3-G in TO-92 has θja = 132°C/W but only 740mW rating due to smaller copper area and inferior heat spreading. At 50mA output and typical efficiency, HV9922N8-G sustains lower junction temperature - enabling higher ambient operation (up to +85°C) and longer LED lifetime in enclosed fixtures where HV9922N3-G would thermally saturate.
