Fault Condition Operation

The AP8802H has by default open LED protection. If the LEDs should become open circuit the AP8802H will stop oscillating; the SET pin

will rise to V

and the SW pin will then fall to GND. No excessive voltages will be seen by the AP8802H.

If the LEDs should become shorted together the AP8802H will continue to switch however the duty cycle at which it will operate will change

dramatically and the switching frequency will most likely decrease. The on-time of the internal power MOSFET switch will be significantly

reduced because almost all of the input voltage is now developed across the inductor. The off-time will be significantly increased because

the reverse voltage across the inductor is now just the Schottky diode voltage (See Figure 20) causing a much slower decay in inductor

current. During this condition the inductor current will remain within its controlled levels and so no excessive heat will be generated within

the AP8802H.
