I took a look at the new kitplanes article on how to build an elegant LED
driver for aircraft.

Up until now I have been planning to use an off the shelf cheap constant
current power supply from LEDDYNAMICs. But people are reporting
everywhere that these things are trashing the aircraft radios with RF noise.

That being said, what if any advantages would the kitplanes article driver
have over one of these off the shelf drivers and would the noise problem
still exist with that driver as well?

>From looking at the circuit, it looks similar to what one might think
the LEDDynamics one would look like inside.

Without seeing the circuit, I'm not sufficiently informed
to offer solutions for the noise issues. But know too
that unless the appliance of interest is composed only
of relays and resistors, it has a strong probability of
generating some level of noise. The questions are always
how much noise and at what frequencies?

This is why we do the DO-160 investigations and subsequent
modifications to a product to limit any noises to
acceptable levels. There is a high order probability
that any COTS (commercial off the shelf) device can be
tailored with packaging and filtering to live harmoniously
in the aircraft environment.

If someone could point me to the schematics and
perhaps data sheets for the power supply in question,
we could ponder the options for integrating them into
the system.

Linear (non-noisy) constant current circuits are a dime
a dozen but they are inefficient and unable to provide
constant output over a wide range of input voltages. I
suspect the Leddynamics device is a switchmode device
that works over a wider range of input voltages and
dissipates less heat (more efficient) in the process.

Bob,

I have emailed you a direct link to this Kitplanes article. Please check it out.

Here is the data sheets for the LEDDYNAMICs driver:
http://www.leddynamics.com/LuxDrive/datasheets/3021-BuckPuck.pdf

Thanks for any input you can share on this.

A few ideas on how to make the most efficient constant current driver (linear) would be great. I know it is not the best but it would have to be better than a huge power robbing resistor....

I would like to think that the COTS drivers could be adapted to work with our aircraft with minimal work/expense.

Education.

Jim's choice of silicon for an LED driver is curious. Perhaps
he likes the part's package . . . it's a dual-inline-plastic
which is easier for the neophyte to work with. There are
some more modern, constant current LED driver devices that
are electrically more suited to the task. An exemplar device
is shown here:

http://www.national.com/ds/LM/LM3404.pdf

This is one of a host of similar one to multi-channel dimmer
controllers. The 3404 delivers up to of constant current
to it's companion loads.

It's a switcher. It hums at 1 to 2 Mhz with a butt-ugly
wave-form rich in harmonics. This device needs to be
a very compact layout (small antenna aperture) and be fitted
with conduction filters on the input/output wires. It
MIGHT be okay in a plastic enclosure . . . but a metal
one never hurts.

If folks are interested in an LED driver tested for
radiated and conducted emissions, I might be able to
add that to our catalog in the not too distant future.
My consulting work is going to require me to spend a
lot more time in an RFI lab. I can probably piggy-back
some of my 'government jobs' on top of a paying task.

I used to do this years ago by letting my little gizmo
run in parallel with test articles in the chamber. As
long as we were both cool, I could get two sets of test
data with one scan. If we had an out-lying data point,
I'd turn off my gizmo to see who was responsible
for busting the limits. I think I'll be able to do
this again pretty soon. I'm working three paying jobs
that need to get into the lab soon.

Hi Bob,

I'm curious, why is such a high freq (1-2MHz) needed for an application
such as this? Rather, why not in high 100's of Hz given that the eye
can't even discern above 30 Hz?

Thank you,

/\/elson

Great question. The problem of selecting an operating
frequency comes from a trade-off in reactances . . .
in the form of inductors and capacitors. The higher
you go in frequency, the more energy can be stored on
a given size inductor (assuming the core is loss less).
The higher you go in frequency, the easier it is to
couple energy via capacitors . . . both for the purpose
of bypassing and transfer.

In this case, the power supply is an energy conversion
system that stores a short pulse of current on and inductor
and then retrieves that energy at a different voltage level.
Given no other considerations for efficiency of the switching
devices and losses in the magnetics, one would LIKE to operate
at the highest possible frequency to drive down the physical
size of components.

Example. Step down transformers for 60 Hz AC delivered to
the house can handle about 60 watts per pound of transformer
core and copper. Airplanes use 400 Hz and the same transformer
weight and volume can handle over 6 times the power . . .
but the iron for the transformer must be tailored for low
losses at the higher frequency.

The high output LEDs need about 4v per lamp (whites) but
they're CURRENT driven devices. The really cool thing about
switchmode power supplies is that you can take energy in
at voltages in a much below or above the desired output
levels and bring the energy out as either a constant current
or constant votlage. The LM3404 is designed to operate in
the constant-current mode.

Batteries are not constant voltage devices . . . so the
most efficient flashlights will have a rather sophisticated
voltage to constant current generator that accepts battery
voltage over the full range useful output and delivers
a constant current to the lamp until the batteries are
truly drained. These converters need to be tiny and
efficient . . . highest practical operating frequency
is a strong consideration in meeting design goals.

My two cents....

I think Jim Weir was not well-advised in publishing his article. There
are tons of DC-DC converters available for less than what it would cost
you to build one, even if you forget the bench full of test gear and the
years of education, and the labor required to do this job well.

My advice--

1) Buy the supply if you need one. www.Astrodyne.com, etc. or Google
"DC-DC switcher supply"

Agreed. One is almost always $time$ ahead to "buy" rather than "make".

Quote:
2) Don't use a switcher supply if battery voltage DC will do.

The idea of "will do" needs defining. The thing that started this
thread was a quest to drive a high-output LED. These tend to be
in the hundreds of milliamps. Deriving a constant-current supply
is impossible without resorting to active electronics. Linear
drivers are as inefficient as resistors; energy -> heat

Quote:
3) If you really MUST make one, sign onto National Semiconductor's Web
Bench where they will design a supply to your specs, component list, PCB
layout and all.

Yeah . . . sorta. As I mentioned in the earlier post, LEDs like
to be driven constant current. The web-design applications on
most sites tend to be constant voltage supplies.

Quote:
4) This is not a job for the amateur. Switchers supplies are hard work,
especially the quiet ones. Here's a free million-dollars-worth of
education--"Spend the extra money for a four-layer PCB".

Multilayer boards can be helpful in reducing conducted
and radiated noise . . . but it's not essential nor is
it terribly expensive. Expresspcb.com will fabricate
4-layer boards for really cheap if you use their
software and order over the 'net using credit card.
However, I've not found it necessary to resort to multi-
layer topology. Compact layout with good grounds combined
with metallic enclosures drives your radiated emissions
issues more than anything else. Filters in the input/output
lines controls conducted emissions. NONE of the design-on-line
software programs speak to EMC compatibility issues. You add
the QUIET parts after you get the WORKING parts going.
Quote:

5) The fact is that the LED will almost certainly last longer than the
power supply. This should give one pause....

Yup, $education$ IS always expensive. Zach and I are
taking on his first HVAC job in M.L. next Tuesday.
We expect to salvage a new install that the only local
guy attempted but fell short on some combination of skills,
materials, or tools. We're not going to even break even
on this effort due to spool up costs of nearly $1,000 in
tools and supplies (with more to come) plus the fact that
the job economics won't support paying what the service
is REALLY worth. However, we're going to add to our
$education$ while our customer is going to see a
demonstration of do-it-right-the-first-time. I expect to
add the contractor to Zach's further list of appreciative
and confident customers.

Risky? Yes. Give us pause? Yes . . . just long enough
to figure out that it's but the beginning of a long-term
goal. So if your short term goals are to get daylight
under the wheels on a 99% complete project, by all means
buy your LED drivers. But if figuring out how to DIY
fits your combination of curiosity and willingness to
add to a skill-set, go for it - and we'll help!

See: http://tinyurl.com/6djl2y

for a host of components and architectures for
constant current supplies. If one wants to make it
work first, then we'll tackle the make it quiet
part later.

I fully agree. Describing this is the same as a handyman magazine
describing how to design wall studs. Huh? As a kitplane builder I don't
want to design and build fundamental electrical/electronic devices. If I
did I'd be subscribing to ARRL or similar.

Instead, Kitplanes should have electrical articles that either describe
basic technique (for the steady stream of beginners) or higher-level issues
like connecting displays/autopilots/GPSs, maybe some of the APRS stuff,
maybe electronic ignitions...

????? I would REALLY like to see the OBAM aviation publications
rise to the levels of expertise and pioneering spirit of say
Contact magazine. Some of their stuff gets really technical but
the articles have enough lay-speak to encourage the motivated
and interested among us to pursue opportunities to learn.

There are PLENTY of cook-book publications out there. I
would expect many of the folks who hang out here on the
List are intrigued with doing things that expand their
understanding if not their core competencies while also
being served with proofed recipes for success.

There's room (and a need) for well written and practical
articles in all disciplines and at levels of expertise in our
craft. I too would be delighted if folks with expertise in
the arenas you've cited were members of this List . . .
but what we have is what we have . . .

Quote:
Given Mr. Weir's well-deserved reputation as an abusive hot-head in public
forums, and his poor reputation as a seller in VAF, maybe Kitplanes should
consider someone else writing the electrical articles. Bob?

I have spoken with the folk at Kitplanes but not in the last ten
years or more. I think I even submitted an article or two but the feedback
at the time suggested that their technical writing needs were
covered.

So without investing $time$ in discussion of how good/bad anyone
else is, let us tend to our house for the purposes of
enlightening our family . . . irrespective of how their goals might
stack up the goals of others.

Which driver are you using. What currents flow in the
leads that attach to the device. Which radios are
being affected and have you determined whether the
noise is getting in through audio, power or antenna
leads?

Bob,

Several others and I have tried the wired buck puck by LEDDynamics:

http://www.ledsupply.com/03023-d-n-1000.php

I think most if not all of these different types of drivers from LEDDynamics have similar circuits in them and similar noise issues.

I personally have the 1000mA version with two parallel runs of three K2 stars in series for 500mA on each series string of 3 LED's. This 6 LED's total per side of the airplane.

I do not have a panel mounted radio yet to try but several others have tried them with the SL30 with no success. I do however have a handheld with similar problems when used near these drivers.

The symptoms that most report with panel mount radios is noise over the headsets and reduced sensitivity (distant signals go quiet) when the LED driver is powered on. Handheld goes nuts (tons of static/noise/inability to squelch it out) when within 50ft of these things while running the handheld on separate battery power.

The literature for the driver says to put a 220uF cap across the power leads to the driver when operating with long input leads. Most report that this does nothing to help the noise issue.

Others have went a step farther and installed a 220uF cap and a .1uF cap in parallel across the input leads and this reduced the audible noise on the panel mount radio but had no effect on the reduced sensitivity.

Still another went a step farther and tried the same on the input and outputs of the driver with the same results. Reduced the audible noise on the panel mount radio but had no effect on the reduced sensitivity.

And as a final straw, one guy put both the caps on the input leads and also added a loop thru some ferrite beads optimized for the airband on the input leads, output leads, and the wires going to and coming from his audio panel and panel mount radio. This eliminated the audible noise on the panel mount radio but had no effect on the reduced sensitivity (turn off the driver and distant stations come in loud and clear, turn on the driver and they go quiet, seems to trigger the active noise reduction circuits of the panel mount radio when the noise floor is raised).

The only thing we have not tried is to put this whole mess in a sealed aluminum box and ground it.

There are a bunch of us over on the VAF site that would love to get these things working with our airplanes. The driver is just too simple and inexpensive. There has to be some relativly simple fix for this. These drivers have great constant current, run at wide voltage ranges, work great with the high power LED's, and produce little to no heat. If it was not for this noise issue, the perfect thing for us....

Aha! if a hand-held has the problem, we know it's radiated

Okay, In another post I've offered to lay out a board that
will mount the Buck Puck and bring leads out to the aircraft
on a 9-pin D-sub. Are you using the Control or Reference
connections? Also, I need to know if there is electrical
continuity between Vin minus and LEDout minus connections.

Bob,

I am using the simple 4 wire version of the buck puck and do not intend to use the control or reference functions but it would be great if those "could" be used on this rig in the event someone wanted to strobe/dim/on-off control these things for other applications in the plane.

I checked the continuity between the Vin Minus and LED minus and it does have 100% continuity both directions (diode mode not required on meter).

I also checked the current on the input and it was 460mA (at) 12vDC using a wall wart powersupply.

Very good. I've laid out a board that's 1.6" x 1.5" with a 9-pin
d-sub and couple-capped, pi-net filters on both power+ in and
LED+ out leads. I found a 100uH inductor in a 10mm x 10mm
footprint that's good for an amp of DC current.

The boards and inductors are on order. Capacitors and
connnectors are in stock. If you'd like to mail me your
Buck-Puck, I'll assemble it onto the board with the filter
and check it against my hand-held before I return it to
you for testing in your system.

Bob,

The driver shipped direct to you on Tuesday. Please let me know when you
get it.

DO NOT ARCHIVE

Got all the parts in and assembled a WAG filter
assembly. See:

Don't have time to do the RFI tests so I'll just mail the
whole thing back to you to see how well we did.

Shoot me your return address right quick.

I was hoping I could get into the lab and look at
DO-160 conducted . . . it's not in the stars

Shoot me an address to mail it to.
