Description
CDM10V is a fully integrated 0-10 V dimming interface IC and comes in a SOT23-6 package to cover space
requirements on small PCB designs.
The device is targeted for various dimming applications in lighting. The IC can be used to transmit analog
voltage based signals from a 0-10 V dimmer or a potentiometer or a PWM input of a lighting controller IC,
transformed to a 5 mA/1 mA current based fixed frequency PWM signal, to directly drive an external
optocoupler. To avoid flickering when dimming, the light up and the light down threshold has a minimum
implemented hysteresis of 200mV.
It replaces many components in a traditional solution and reduces BOM and PCB space significantly.
The CDM10VD-Series ICs outputs a 0 - 100% PWM current signal at a frequency of 1 kHz with an amplitude value
of 1mA or 5 mA.

Typical Application Circuit

Figure 2 Typical Application Circuit

Note: The Diode marked with * is for the protection of the Rdim+-Pin when active dimming is used. This is
because the voltage on this Pin is not allowed to be higher than VCC+0.5V. It is advised to use a low
leakage, low reverse current Schottky-Diode in order to not influence the dimming performance (e.g.
MMSD301T1G).

Note: The capacitor connected to the Rdim+-Pin reduces the amount of coupled noise to the dimming signal.
The size of this capacitance should be in the range of 2.2 - 10 nF (typ. 4.7 nF), where a small capacitor
allows steeper edges of the dimming signal, a larger capacitor enhances the noise reduction.

The CDM10VD device has two operating ranges, as seen in Figure 5, in regards of the supply voltage VCC.
The following conditions must be taken into consideration:
• between 11 and 25V the device is fully operable and all parameters are in specification
• between 6 and 11V the device is functional but the parameters might be out of specification
The purpose of the extended VCC range is to use it during the off state of the LED. Here the secondary side
supply voltage can be lowered down to 6V, which is sufficient to keep the CDM10VD device functional. The
System has to be designed in an way that the remaining power, which is transferred to the output, is low
enough so the LEDs' doesn't emit any visible light, but sufficient to keep the CDM10VD in this extended VCC
range. If a voltage on the Rdim+-pin is sensed, which is higher than the dim2bright threshold, the system powers

operating area of the CDM10VD device where all parameters are in specification again.

Functional Description

Variable Frequency PWM Input Mode

CDM10VD device can be operated in a 'frequency conversion input mode'. In this mode the PWM input signal on
Rdim+ with frequencies between 100 Hz and 3 kHz will be converted to 1 kHz signal on Iout. The duty cycle
between input and output signals remain at the same level. The configuration and conditions are described
below.

Note: 1R
Iout is the resistance connected between the Iout and the GND-PIN. Iout is 1 mA or 5 mA dependent on
the CDM10VD version.

Once the CDM10VD detects the frequency in the range 100 Hz and 3 kHz on the Rdim+ input the internal FSM will
lock after min eight input signal periods. In this time the input Rdim+ signal is provided to the Iout directly, see
Figure 7.

Figure 7 Lock phase default mode

Backup mode
To avoid the Iout behavior during lock phase in default mode, there is an additional option described below. In
normal operation Pin 5 has to be connected to the GND level. In this mode the CDM10VD selects automatically
between the standard hysteresis mode and the frequency conversion mode depending on the input signal on
Rdim+. Leaving the Pin 5 unconnected, the CMD10VD device will switch directly to the frequency conversion
mode and the Iout pin will be tied to GND during the frequency lock phase, see Figure 8. In this mode the
standard hysteresis mode cannot be used.

Absolute maximum ratings (Table 5) are defined as ratings which when being exceeded may lead to destruction
of the integrated circuit. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability. Maximum ratings are absolute ratings; exceeding only one of these values may cause
irreversible damage to the integrated circuit. These values are not tested during production test.
