4. When using switch-type constant current drive IC, the interference may be very large (and power wiring and other factors are related), the system will produce
Noise and surge, in order to avoid problems such as code writing or abnormal picture changes, the following measures are recommended:
A. the VDD pin of the CXLE87184 is directly connected to the CXLE87133AC step-down resistor RZ and connected to the same anti-reverse connection diode to reduce waves
Surge effects cannot occur with CXLE87184 VDD and buck resistor RZ connected behind different anti-reverse diode.
B. The trace from the CXLE87184 VDD pin on the circuit board to the CXLE87133AC buck resistor RZ is as thick and short as possible (as close to equipotential as possible),
The trace between the GND pin of the CXLE87184 and the GND pin of the CXLE87133AC is as thick and short as possible (as close to the equal potential as possible).
C, a 47uF electrolytic capacitor and a 105 capacitor are added to each CXLE87184 near the VDD and GND pins, and the voltage is reduced near the CXLE87133AC

D and AB lines are always wired in parallel on the board. Do not insert other elements between AB lines under special circumstances that cannot be crossed.
pieces or traces (even in special cases to be limited to the shortest local). Otherwise, the anti-interference function of AB line balanced transmission will be weakened.
E, under special circumstances, because the PWM pin is interfered, resulting in abnormal control, at this time need to be in the CXLE87184 PWM pin to GND
Add a capacitor CDIM, the size of the capacitor depends on the actual situation, generally in the tens to 100PF.
F, when the interference is too large and the code cannot be written, a filter capacitor can be added between the ADRI pin of the CXLE87133AC and GND.

7.4. Component Selection Table 1 (Non-triode Application)

7.5. Component Selection Table 2 (triode application, single current not exceeding 120mA)

(1) Value selection of lamp string resistance R
Since the long-term power consumption of the package is recommended not to be greater than 650mW, the IC power consumption should be set to be less than 650mW. As the drive current increases,
The output voltage Vout of the chip channel should be reduced, I .e. 650mW>5.2V * 10mA Vout * Iout * N(N is the number of channels and Vout is the channel end
Port voltage, Iout is the channel setting current), when N = 4,Iout = 30mA, Vout<4.98V, and because Vout = VCC-M * VL-R1 * Iout
(m is the number of lamps connected in series on a single channel, VL is the voltage drop of the lamps). when VCC = 24V,VL = 2,M = 8, R1>100 Ω is obtained. in addition, it is
In order to make the output constant current, Vout should also be made> 0.8V, so R1<240 Ω, in order to make the chip have better performance under the condition that the power consumption meets the requirements.
Output characteristics, it is recommended that R1 choose the appropriate intermediate value.
