III. Detailed explanation of internal structure and working principle

CXLE82135XJ is highly integrated internally, including Vcc power supply module, undervoltage locking, OVP control logic, overheating regulation, constant current control and logic core, leading edge blanking and high precision current detection circuit.
Startup Process: After the system is powered on, the rectified bus voltage supplies power to the internal circuit of the chip through the HV pin. When the internal voltage reaches the start threshold, the control circuit starts to work. When the chip is running normally, its work current is continuously provided by internal high-voltage JFETs without external auxiliary power supply.
Constant current control mechanism: the chip works in the critical conduction mode and achieves constant current by detecting the peak inductor current cycle by cycle. The external current sampling resistor RCS of the CS pin compares the voltage at both ends with the internal reference voltage 373mV. When the CS voltage reaches the threshold, the Power Tube is turned off.
The average LED output current is determined by the following formula:
When designing, you only need to adjust the RCS resistance to accurately set the required output current.

IV. Design and model selection guide of key peripheral components
4.1. Design of energy storage inductance
Inductance is the key component to ensure that the system works in critical mode. The calculation formula is as follows:

Where IPK = 2×iled, f is the operating frequency of the system.
To ensure constant current accuracy, the Power Tube off-time off off toff must be met:
Beyond this range, the system may enter intermittent or continuous mode, causing the output current to deviate from the design value.
4.2. External OVP resistance setting
The open circuit protection voltage point can be set by the resistor ROVP connected between the ROVP pin and ground. The typical output current of this pin is 30μa.
First, estimate the demagnetization time TOVP based on the target protection voltage VOVP:

Then calculate ROVP:

Note: If the OVP function is not required, the ROVP pin can be suspended. If the Enable function is required, make sure that the ROVP resistance is> 15kΩ.
V. Perfect protection function system
CXLE82135XJ a multi-level security network has been established to ensure the stability and reliability of the system in various abnormal situations:
· LED short circuit protection: when the output is short circuit, the chip automatically enters the low frequency (4kHz) intermittent working mode, with extremely low power consumption to avoid thermal damage.
· Power supply undervoltage protection: monitor the internal power supply voltage in real time to ensure that the chip will not misoperate when the voltage is insufficient.
· Adjustable open circuit protection: set the OVP point through external resistor to effectively prevent the component from being damaged due to excessive output voltage when the LED is open.
· Overheating adjustment: When the chip junction temperature exceeds 140℃, the output current is automatically linearly reduced to realize closed-loop temperature control, keeping the chip temperature within a safe range, greatly improving the long-term reliability of the system.
VI. PCB layout and heat dissipation design suggestions
Good PCB design is crucial to performance, EMI and reliability:
6.1. Current sampling loop (CS & GND): The Power ground wire of the sampling resistor should be as short and thick as possible, and be routed separately to the ground terminal of the input bus capacitor, which is separated from the chip signal to avoid noise interference.
6.2. High voltage pin (HV): keep away from low voltage sensitive pins such as CS when the layout allows.
6.3. Power loop: reduce the primary loop formed by power inductor, power tube inside the chip, input capacitor, and secondary loop area formed by power inductor, flyback diode, and output capacitor as much as possible to reduce electromagnetic radiation (EMI).
6.4. Heat dissipation treatment:
· DRAIN pin: increase the area of its connection copper foil appropriately to help the chip heat dissipation, but pay attention to balance. Excessive copper foil may worsen EMI.
· CS pin: Copper can also be properly supplemented to assist in heat dissipation.
· GND pin: it must be directly connected to the negative terminal of the input bus capacitor, and cannot be connected only to the rectifier Bridge output terminal to ensure a stable reference ground.
7. Typical application scenarios
With its high reliability, flexible protection function and easy production packaging, CXLE82135XJ is very suitable for the following applications:
·Medium and high power LED bulb, candle light
