PCB Layout Software
Layout Software Options
• Low Cost – Eagle
– $69, 2-layer PCB, 100mmx80mm
– Steep learning curve, uses scripts.
• PCB Manufacturer Provided – PCB Artist
– Can’t import or export, must order from 4pcb.com.
– Can get gerbers after one PCB order.
• Freeware – DesignSpark
– Functionally similar to PCB Artist, but can generate
gerbers.
– Easy to use graphical interface.
– No
Boost SMPS
Our book uses this circuit in a example converting 2D batteries
(2.4V) to drive a single power LED (3V).
•Vin < Vout
•Vin max 6V.
•Vin always connected to L1.
•Internal transistor ON pulls SW
to GND. Thus L1 current goes
up, D1 is off.
•Transistor OFF pulls SW above
FB to turn on D1 to power LEDs
and causes L1 current to go
down.

Lighting Design with LEDs.” Wiley, 2011.
AC Example
Our book uses this circuit in a example BR40 self ballasted light bulb
design.
•Supertex HV9910 uses
external MOSFET Q1. Current
controlled Buck converter.
•R2 sense resistor sets
current.
•R1 sets the switching
frequency.
•When Q1 is on, D1 is off, L1
current increases.
•When Q1 is off, D1 turns on,
L1 current decreases.
•Vin can be up to 450VDC,
usable worldwide.
HV9910 Demo Board
The HV9910DB3v.3 can supply a maximum
output current of 900mA to drive LED strings
from a 9VDC to 30VDC input. It achieves an
overall efficiency above 85%. The
HV9910DB3v.3 is ideally suited to drive two
1Watt or 3Watt LEDs from a 12V or 24V input
voltage.
