Detailed Description The E1 is a constant current boost regulator specially designed for driving white EDs. It can drive up to EDs in series or 9 EDs in parallel/series configuration and achieves efficiency up to 91%. The brightness of the EDs is adjusted through a voltage level on the CNT pin. When the level falls below 0.1V, the chip goes into shut-down mode and consumes less than 1µA of current for less than 5.5V. Steady-State Operation E1 is operated in constant frequency PWM. The switching is around 1MHz. Depending on the input voltage, the inductance, the type of EDs driven, and the ED s current, the converter operates at either continuous conduction mode or discontinuous conduction mode (see waveforms). Both are normal. Brightness Control ED s current is controlled by the voltage level on CNT pin (V CNT ). This voltage can be either a DC or a PWM signal with frequency less than 200Hz (for C =00pF). When a higher frequency PWM is used, an RC filter is recommended before the CNT pin (see Figure 1). hiccough continues until ED is applied or converter is shut down. When designing the converter, caution should be taken to ensure the highest operating ED voltage does not exceed 1V, the minimum shut-down voltage. There is no external component required for this function. Component Selection The input and output capacitors are not very important for the converter to operate normally. The input capacitance is normally 0.22µF -.µf and output capacitance 0.22µF -. Higher capacitance is allowed to reduce the voltage/current ripple, but at added cost. Use X5R or XR type (for its good temperature characteristics) of ceramic capacitors with correct voltage rating and maximum height. When choosing an inductor, make sure the inductor can handle the average and peak currents giving by following formulas (0% efficiency assumed): I O V O I AVG = ----------------------- 0. 1 I PK = I AVG + -- I 2 V O I = -------------------------------------------- V O F S PWM SIGNA 100K CNT COMP FIGURE 19. PWM BRIGHTNESS CONTRO The relationship between the ED current and CNT voltage level is as follows: V CNT I ED = ---------------------------- 1. R 1 When R 1 is 5, 1V of V CNT conveniently sets I ED to 15mA. The range of V CNT is 250mV to 5.5V. Shut-Down When V CNT is less than 100mV, the converter is in shut-down mode. The max current consumed by the chip is less than 1µA for less than 5.5V. Over-Voltage Protection When an ED string is disconnected from the output, V O will continue to rise because of no current feedback. When V O reaches 1V (nominal), the chip will shut down. The output voltage will drop. When V O drops below 11V (nominal), the chip will boost output voltage again until it reaches 1V. This where: I is the peak-to-peak inductor current ripple in Ampere inductance in µh FS switching frequency, typical 1MHz A wide range of inductance (6.µH - 6µH) can be used for the converter to function correctly. For the same series of inductors, the lower inductance has lower DC resistance (DCR), which has less conducting loss. But the ripple current is bigger, which generates more RMS current loss. Figure 9 shows the efficiency of the demo board under different inductance for a specific series of inductor. For optimal efficiency in an application, it is a good exercise to check several adjacent inductance values of your preferred series of inductors. FN2 Rev 0.00 Page 9 of 12
For the same inductance, higher overall efficiency can be obtained by using lower DCR inductor.

Please refer to the E1 Application Brief for the layout. FIGURE 20. EFFICIENCY OF DIFFERENT INDUCTANCE ( EDs IN A SERIES) The diode should be Schottky type with minimum reverse voltage of 20V. The diode's peak current is the same as inductor's peak current, the average current is I O, and RMS current is: I DRMS = I AVG I O Ensure the diode's ratings exceed these current requirements. White ED Connections One leg of EDs connected in series will ensure the uniformity of the brightness. 1V maximum voltage enables EDs can be placed in series. However, placing EDs into series/parallel connection can give higher efficiency as shown in the efficiency curves. One of the ways to ensure the brightness uniformity is to pre-screen the EDs. PCB ayout Considerations The layout is very important for the converter to function properly. Power Ground ( ) and Signal Ground ( ) should be separated to ensure the high pulse current in the power ground does not interference with the sensitive signals connected to Signal Ground. Both grounds should only be connected at one point right at the chip. The heavy current paths ( -- X pin- PGND, and --D-C 2 -PGND) should be as short as possible. The trace connected to the pin is most important. The current sense resister R 1 should be very close to the pin When the trace is long, use a small filter capacitor close to the pin. The heat of the IC is mainly dissipated through the PGND pin. Maximizing the copper area around the plane is preferable. In addition, a solid ground plane is always helpful for the EMI performance.
