result in a low-frequency intermittent operation (Hiccup-mode operation), with very low

stress on the power circuit. This special condition is illustrated in the timing diagram of

Layout recommendations

A proper printed circuit board layout is essential for correct operation of any switch-mode

converter and this is true for the HVLED805 as well. Careful component placing, correct

traces routing, appropriate traces widths and compliance with isolation distances are the

major issues. In particular:

●

The compensation network should be connected as close as possible to the COMP

pin, maintaining the trace for the GND as short as possible

●

Signal ground should be routed separately from power ground, as well from the sense

resistor trace.
