GSMicro Semiconductor acts as authorized level‑1 distributor of Hichips.
Hi7000D Product Description
Hi7000D is manufactured by Hichips, an external‑MOSFET average‑current common‑anode buck LED constant‑current driver targeting wide‑voltage non‑isolated high‑power LED driving applications. With proprietary average‑current control algorithm, output current is barely affected by input voltage, output voltage and system inductor, offering constant‑current accuracy up to ≤±3%.
Hi7000D integrates internal loop‑compensation circuit to simplify external BOM and improve system stability. Dual‑mode dimming including PWM dimming and LD analog dimming are supported. The PWM input accepts minimum 60ns ultra‑narrow pulse width for 65536 (256*256)‑level high‑resolution dimming, which perfectly meets the fine‑grayscale dimming requirements for stage and landscape luminaires.
Hi7000D integrates a 5V LDO regulator, capable of driving external 50N‑grade NMOS power MOSFET. Maximum switching frequency reaches 1 MHz. Compact SOT23‑6 surface‑mount package saves PCB layout space.

Hi7000D Application Notes
Chip Power‑Up Sequence
Hi7000D charges VDD external capacitor via startup resistor after power‑on. When VDD exceeds 4.5V, the IC starts operation and VDD is clamped internally to approx.5.2V. VDD supply current is provided by external resistor R3. Adjust R3 value for different power MOSFET: larger MOSFET requires smaller R3; lower input voltage also requires smaller R3. Refer to datasheet section 9.6 for R3 reference values.
Output‑Current Setting
Hi7000D output‑current formula: Iout = 0.2V / RCS. The CS pin samples voltage across sense resistor RCS and compares against internal 0.2V reference for constant‑current regulation. Select RCS with adequate power derating according to real working current.
Dimming Configuration
Hi7000D supports LD analog dimming and PWM digital dimming. LD input of 0.2V‑1.2V enters analog‑dimming mode; output shuts down when LD voltage is below 0.2V. Adding external capacitor to LD pin implements soft‑start function. For LD‑pin PWM driving, high‑level input shall exceed 1.2V.
PWM pin accepts minimum 60ns ultra‑narrow pulse‑width input. High level = IC enable, low level = output shutdown. If LD and PWM pins are unused, tie them to VDD.
Inductor Selection Guidelines
Hi7000D switching frequency is affected by inductor value. Inductor value sets current rising/falling slope and determines practical switching frequency. The selected inductor saturation current must exceed system peak current to avoid saturation failure. DCR, MOSFET Rds(on) and freewheeling diode forward drop will influence real‑world operating frequency. Refer to datasheet for calculation formulas.

PCB Layout Recommendations
① Place CS sense resistor close to CS and GND pins to minimize trace‑induced sensing error;
② Keep GATE‑to‑MOS‑gate trace short; add gate resistor to suppress oscillation;
③ Widen high‑power loops (input, MOS, LED, freewheeling diode, inductor) to reduce power loss;
④ Place decoupling capacitor close to VDD pin; use single‑point grounding for analog‑ground and power‑ground to mitigate noise;
⑤ Ensure inductor saturation current is higher than system peak current to prevent saturation.

Hi7000D Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is the maximum output current of Hi7000D?
Hi7000D works as a controller IC; actual output‑current depends on the external NMOS power MOSFET. Typical achievable range is 60mA‑5A. The GATE pin can drive MOSFET up to 50N rating. Adequate thermal design for external MOSFET is mandatory in real hardware implementation.
2. How do I calculate output‑current for Hi7000D?
Iout=0.2V / RCS; RCS is current‑sense resistor connected between CS pin and GND. Example: for 2A output current, RCS=0.2V÷2A=0.1Ω. Resistor power rating must include sufficient safety margin.
3. How to use LD pin and PWM pin simultaneously?
LD pin for analog dimming; PWM pin for digital PWM dimming. If unused, tie LD and PWM pins to VDD. When using LD pin for PWM input, high‑level signal shall exceed 1.2V. Adding capacitor on LD pin implements power‑on soft‑start function to suppress inrush current.
4. Can Hi7000D support RGBW multi‑channel stage‑light solution?
Yes. One Hi7000D per LED channel to implement RGBW four‑channel dimming solution. Please refer to reference schematic; pay attention to power‑ground layout to avoid cross‑talk between channels.
5. What are key notes for inductor selection?
Inductor saturation‑current rating must be higher than system peak‑current to avoid saturation. Inductor value directly changes practical switching frequency; calculate parameters according to datasheet formulas.
