Application Information Operation The is designed in a current mode, pulse-width modulation (PWM) architecture for fast-transient response and low-noise operation to provide the regulated voltages required by thin film transistor (TFT) LCD display and LED backlight of LCD panel. The functional diagram is shown in Figure 3. At light loads, the (ch-2) operates in PFM to maintain the highest efficiency. The operates well with a variety of external components. See the following sections to optimize external components for a particular application. Inductor Selection For most applications, a 10uH is recommended for general used. The inductor parameters, current rating, DCR and physical size, should be considered. The DCR of inductor affects the efficiency of the converter. The inductor with lowest DCR is chosen for highest efficiency. The saturation current rating of inductor must be greater than the switch peak current. These factors affect the efficiency, transient response, output load capability, output voltage ripple, and cost. Diode Selection For diode selection, both forward voltage and diode capacitance need to be considered. The output diode should be rated to the output voltage and peak switch current. Schottky diodes, with their low forward voltage drop and fast reverse recovery, are the ideal choices for applications. Make sure the diode s peak current rating is at least IPK and its breakdown voltage exceeds V OUT. Capacitor Selection The ceramic capacitor is ideal for application. X5R or X7R types are recommended because they hold their capacitance over wide voltage and temperature ranges than other Y5V or Z5U types. The input capacitor can reduced peak current and noise at power source. The output capacitor is typically selected based on the output voltage ripple requirements. A higher or lower capacitance may be used depending on the acceptable noise level. Feedback Resistance Network An external resistor divider of (ch-1) is required to divide the output voltage down to the nominal reference voltage. Current drawn by the resistor network should be limited to maintain the overall converter efficiency. The maximum value of the resistor network is limited by the feedback input bias current and the potential for noise being coupled into the feedback pin. A resistor network in the order of 50kΩ is recommended. The boost converter output voltage is determined by the following relationship: R = + 1 V OUT VFB1 1 R2 where V FB1 =1.24V as specified. Over Voltage Protection The (ch-2) has an internal open-circuit protection circuit. In the cases of output open circuit, when the LEDs are disconnected from the circuit or the LEDs fail open circuit, OVP is clamped at 18V (typ). The will then switch, at a very low frequency to minimize input current. The OVP and input current during output open circuit are shown in the Typical Performance Curves. LED Current Setting The EN2 pin controls the feedback voltage as shown in the figure11. For EN2 higher than 1.7V, the feedback voltage is 200mV, which results in full LED current. In order to have accurate LED current, precision resistors are preferred (1% is recommended). The LED current can be programmed by : I LED =200mV / R FB Dimming Control There are three different types of dimming control circuits. The LED current can be set by modulating the EN2 pin with a DC voltage, PWM signal or a filtered PWM signal. (1) Using a DC Voltage The EN2 pin voltage can be modulated to set the dimming of the LED string. As the voltage on the EN pin increases from 0.9V to 1.5V, the LED current increases from 0mA to maximum current. As the EN2 pin voltage exceeds 1.5V, it has no effect on the LED current. Feedback voltage versus Enable voltage is given in the figure 19. Figure 30. Dimming Control Using a DC Voltage 12
Applications Information (Continued) (2) Using a PWM Signal Changing the LED forward current not only changes the intensity of the LEDs, but also changes the color. Controlling the intensity of the LEDs with a direct PWM signal allows dimming of the LEDs without changing the color. Dimming the LEDs via a PWM signal essentially involves turning the LED on and off. The LEDs operate at either zero or full current. The average of LED current increases proportionally with the duty cycle of the PWM signal. The color of the LEDs remains unchanged since the LED current value is either zero or a constant value. The typical frequency range of the PWM signal is 100Hz to 1kHz. Two way of PWM control dimming, drive EN2 directly or drive FB2 pin through a resistor. First, drive EN2 directly shown as figure 31(a). A 0% duty cycle will turn off the and corresponds to zero LED current. A 100% duty cycle corresponds to full current. The amplitude of the PWM signal should be higher than the minimum EN2 voltage. Second, drive FB2 pin through a resistor shown as figure 31(b). Increase of duty cycle will decrease LED average current. In this application, LED is dimmed by FB2 pin and turned off completely by EN2 pin.

Dimming Control Using a PWM Signal D1 R1 Cout 1uF (3) Using a Filtered PWM Signal If audio noise is concerned or higher PWM frequency is used, a filtered PWM signal can be used to control the brightness of the LED string. The PWM signal is filtered by a RC network. The corner frequency of R, C should be much lower than the frequency of the PWM signal. RF needs to be much smaller than the internal impedance of the EN2 pin which is 600kΩ (typ). Figure 32 show the two dimming methods of using filtered PWM signal. R2 in figure 32(a) extends the available range of duty cycle. Figure 32 (a).

Dimming Control Using a Filtered PWM Signal Layout Consideration The proper PCB layout and component placement are critical for all switching regulators. The careful attention should be taken to the high-frequency, high current loops to prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI) problems. Minimize the length and area of all traces connected to the LX1 and LX2 node. Keep the noise-sensitive feedback and compensation circuitry away from the switching node. Place Cout next to Schottky diode as possible. The exposed die plate, on the underneath of the package, should be soldered to an equivalent area of metal on the PCB. This contact area should have multiple via connections to the back of the PCB as well as connections to intermediate PCB layers, if available, to maximize thermal dissipation away from the IC. 13
