Considerations on Practical Implementation of Current Source Mode Single-Inductor Multiple-Output LED Driver

There are many possible LED lighting applications where separate regulation of the LED current (luminous flux) of individual LED strings would be desirable—specialized variable correlated color temperature lights for ambient lighting, decorative lighting, surgical lights, horticultural lights, etc....

description There are many possible LED lighting applications where separate regulation of the LED current (luminous flux) of individual LED strings would be desirable—specialized variable correlated color temperature lights for ambient lighting, decorative lighting, surgical lights, horticultural lights, etc. Separate regulation of the current or light flux of individual LED strings is associated with a known problem: the necessity of using a controllable LED driver for each string, which increases the total component count, overall system complexity and costs. One of the possible solutions—a current source mode single-inductor multiple-output LED driver—was discussed in previous different papers. However, the practical implementation of this solution was not discussed in detail. This article aims to correct this omission.
