Tool/software: WEBENCH® Design Tools
Hello,
I have designed a led driver for use with a Cree XHP70 LED powered by a 5 cell lithium battery, however i anticipate that i will also use this for an automotive application as well.
I have constructed the circuit and it does work however the output performance is troubling me.
The design specifications are:
Input : 11v - 22v
output: 12.6v @ 2.2A
But when i measure the voltage and current i get an output of 11.25v @ 0.25A.
I do not know how to tackle this problem as this is my first LED driver design and I cannot get a good grasp on the calculations in the data sheet.
Can someone please help me with this?
Here is the webench link to the design
also attached are the webench report, my eagle schematic file and parts list.
as this was my first attempt at surface mount parts as well I tried to keep the majority of my parts at 1206 so i could handle them and use a soldering iron if required.
