lt3486 3486fd typical a pplica t ion descrip t ion dual 1.3a white led step-up converters with wide dimming the lt ? 3486 is a dual step-up dc/dc converter specifcally designed to drive up to 16 white leds (8 in series per converter) at constant current from a single li-ion cell. series connection of the leds provides identi- cal led currents resulting in uniform brightness. the two independent converters are capable of driving asymmetric led strings. the dimming of the two led strings can be controlled independently via the respective ctrl pins. an internal dimming system allows the dimming range to be extended up to 1000:1 by feeding a pwm signal to the respective pwm pins. the lt3486 operating frequency can be set with an external resistor over a 200khz to 2.5mhz range. a low 200mv feedback voltage (3% accuracy) minimizes power loss in the current setting resistor for better effciency. additional features include output voltage limiting when leds are disconnected and overtemperature protection. the lt3486 is available in a space saving 16-pin dfn (5mm 3mm 0.75mm) and 16-pin thermally enhanced tssop packages. fea t ures a pplica t ions n wide (1000:1) pwm dimming range with no colorshift n independent dimming and shutdown control of the led drivers n drives up to 16 white leds at 25ma (8 per driver) from a single li-ion cell n drives up to 16 white leds at 100ma (8 per driver) from 12v supply n 3% led current programming accuracy n open led protection: 36v clamp voltage n fixed frequency operation: up to 2.5mhz n wide input voltage range: 2.5v to 24v n low shutdown current: icc < 1a n overtemperature protection n available in (5mm 3mm 0.75mm) 16-pin dfn and 16-pin thermally enhanced tssop packages n notebook pc display n led camera light for cell phones n car dashboard lighting n avionics displays li-ion powered driver for camera flash and lcd backlighting v in 3v to 4.2v 10f l1 10h l2 10h 0.1f 2.2f 63.4k 2.8k 4.7nf r fb2 8.06 r fb1 0.62 2.2f 0.1f 3486 ta01a 100k led1 aot3218 25ma 8 leds off on off on dimming 2 v c1 v c2 r t gnd sw1 sw2 v in lt3486 ovp2 ctrl2 ref pwm2 fb2 ovp1 ctrl1 shdn pwm1 fb1 dimming 1 effciency vs v in v in (v) 3 65 efficiency (%) 70 75 80 85 90 3.2 3.4 3.6 3.8 3486 ta01b 4 4.2 movie mode i led1 = 175ma flash mode i led1 = 320ma 8 leds/25ma l , lt, ltc, ltm, linear technology and the linear logo are registered trademarks of linear technology corporation. all other trademarks are the property of their respective owners.

lt3486 3486fd o pera t ion main control loop the lt3486 uses a constant frequency, current mode control scheme to provide excellent line and load regulation. it incorporates two identical, but fully independent pwm converters. operation can be best understood by referring to the block diagram in figure 1. the oscillator, start-up bias and the bandgap reference are shared between the two converters. the control circuitry, power switch, dimming control etc., are all identical for both converters. at power-up, the output capacitors of both converters are charged up to v in (input supply voltage) via their respective inductor and the schottky diode. if the shdn pin is taken above 1.6v, the bandgap reference, start-up bias and the oscillator are turned on. grounding the shdn pin shuts down the part. the ctrl1 and ctrl2 pins perform independent dimming and shutdown control for the two converters. taking the ctrl pins high, enables the respective converters. connecting these pins to ground, shuts down each converter by pulling their respective v c pin low. working of the main control loop can be understood by following the operation of converter 1. at the start of each oscillator cycle, the power switch q1 is turned on. a voltage proportional to the switch current is added to a stabilizing ramp and the resulting sum is fed into the positive terminal of the pwm comparator a2. when this voltage exceeds the level at the negative input of a2, the pwm logic turns off the power switch. the level at the negative input of a2 is set by the error amplifer a1, and is simply an amplifed version of the difference between the feedback voltage and the 200mv reference voltage. in this manner, the error amplifer a1 regulates the feedback voltage to 200mv reference voltage. the output of the error amplifer a1 sets the correct peak current level in inductor l1 to keep the output in regulation. the ctrl1 pin voltage is used to adjust the reference voltage. the pwm1, 2 control pins are used to extend the dimming range for the individual converter. the led current in each string can be controlled down to a levels by feeding a pwm signal to these pins. refer to the applications information section for more detail. if only one of the converters is turned on, the other converter will stay off and its output will remain charged up to v in (input supply voltage). minimum output current the lt3486 can drive an 8-led string at 4ma led current without pulse skipping. as current is further reduced, the device may begin skipping pulses. this will result in some low frequency ripple, although the led current remains regulated on an average basis down to zero. the photo in figure 2 shows circuit operation with 8 white leds at 4ma current driven from 3.6v supply. peak inductor current is less than 200ma and the regulator operates in discontinuous mode implying that the inductor current reached zero during the discharge phase. after the inductor current reaches zero, the switch pin exhibits ringing due to the lc tank circuit formed by the inductor in combination with switch and diode capacitance. this ringing is not harmful; far less spectral energy is contained in the ringing than in the switch transitions. the ringing can be damped by application of a 300 resistor across the inductors, although this will degrade effciency. figure 2. switching waveforms v out2 10mv/div v sw2 20v/div i l2 200ma/div 0.5s/div 3486 f02 v in = 3.6v i led2 = 4ma (8 leds) circuit of front page application open-circuit protection the lt3486 has internal open-circuit protection for both the converters. connect the overvoltage protection pins (ovp1, ovp2) to the output of the respective converter. when the leds are disconnected from the circuit or fail open, the on-chip voltage detectors monitor the voltages at the ovp1 and ovp2 pins and limits these voltages to 36v (typ) by turning off the respective switcher. the converter will then switch at a very low frequency to minimize the input current. output voltage and input current during
lt3486 3486fd output open circuit are shown in the typical performance characteristics graphs. figure 3a shows the transient response of switcher 1 with the leds disconnected from the output. when the led1 string is disconnected from the output, the voltage at the feedback pin (fb1) drops to 0v. as a result, the error amplifer charges up the v c node to the clamp voltage level of 1.5v (typ). the converter starts switching at peak current limit and ramps up the output voltage. when the output voltage reaches the ovp clamp voltage level of 36v (typ), the lt3486 shuts off the converter by pulling the v c node to ground. the converter then regulates the output voltage at 36v (typ) by switching at a very low frequency. in the event one of the converters has an output open- circuit, its output voltage will be clamped at 36v (typ). however, the other converter will continue functioning properly. the photo in figure 3b shows circuit operation with converter 1 output open-circuit and converter 2 driving v out1 20v/div v c1 2v/div i l1 1a/div 100s/div 3486 f03a v in = 3.6v circuit of front page application led1 disconnected at this instant v out1 1v/div ac coupled i l1 1a/div i l2 500ma/div 2ms/div 3486 f03b v in = 3.6v circuit of front page application led1 disconnected figure 3a. transient response of switcher 1 with led1 disconnected from the output figure 3b. switching waveforms with output 1 open circuit o pera t ion eight leds at 25ma. converter 1 starts switching at a very low frequency, reducing its input current. soft-start the lt3486 has a separate internal soft-start circuitry for each converter. soft-start helps to limit the inrush current during start-up. soft-start is achieved by clamping the output of the error amplifer during the soft-start period. this limits the peak inductor current and ramps up the output voltage in a controlled manner. the converter enters into soft-start mode whenever the respective ctrl pin is pulled from low to high. figure 4 shows the start-up waveforms with converter 2 driving eight leds at 25ma. the fltered input current, as shown in figure 4, is well controlled. the soft-start circuit is more effective when driving a smaller number of leds. undervoltage lockout the lt3486 has an undervoltage lockout circuit which shuts down both the converters when the input voltage drops below 2.1v (typ). this prevents the converter to operate in an erratic mode when powered from low supply voltages. overtemperature protection the maximum allowable junction temperature for lt3486 is 125c. in normal operation, the ics junction temperature should be kept below 125c at an ambient temperature of 85c or less. if the junction temperature exceeds 150c, the internal thermal shutdown circuitry kicks in and turns-off both the converters. the converters will remain off until the die temperature falls below 150c. v out2 10v/div v fb2 200mv/div i in 200ma/div ctrl2 5v/div 0.5ms/div 3486 f04 v in = 3.6v 8 leds, 25ma circuit of front page application figure 4. start-up waveforms

(a) using a dc voltage source for some applications, the preferred method of brightness control is a variable dc voltage fed to the ctrl pins. the ctrl1, ctrl2 pin voltage can be modulated to set the dimming of the respective led string. as the voltage on the ctrl1, ctrl2 pin increases from 0v to 1.8v, the led current increases from 0 to i led . as the ctrl1, ctrl2 pin voltage increases beyond 1.8v, it has no effect on the led current.

(b) using a filtered pwm signal a variable duty cycle pwm can be used to control the brightness of the led string. the pwm signal is fltered (figure 7) by an rc network and fed to the ctrl1, ctrl2 pins. the corner frequency of r1, c1 should be much lower than the frequency of the pwm signal. r1 needs to be much smaller than the internal impedance in the ctrl pins, which is 100k. 3486 f07 c1 1f pwm 10khz typ r1 10k lt3486 ctrl1,2 figure 7. dimming control using a filtered pwm signal 3486 ta10a 12v (typ) 9v to 15v c out1 2.2f c out2 2.2f 100ma pwm freq? 1khz r fb1 2 r fb2 2 100ma off on d1 q1 100k 100k 3.65k 3.65k 21.5k q2 5v d2 c in 10f c1 1 f l1 10h l2 10h v in v in dimming input 1 dimming input 2 2.2nf 22pf 2.2nf luxeon leds lxcl-pwf1 luxeon leds lxcl-pwf1 c out1 , c out2 : 35v, x5r or x7r c in : 25v, x5r or x7r c1: 10v, x5r or x7r c ref : 6.3v, x5r or x7r c ref 0.1 f v c1 v c2 r t sw1 sw2 v in lt3486 ovp2 ctrl2 ref pwm2 fb2 ovp1 ctrl1 shdn pwm1 fb1 pwm freq 1khz d1, d2: zetex zlls1000 l1, l2: toko d53lc (type a) q1, q2: fairchild fdn5630 figure 8a. 12v to 8/8 white leds pulse-width modulation (pwm) adjusting the forward current fowing in the leds changes the intensity of the leds, as explained in the previous sec- tion. however, a change in forward current also changes the color of the leds. the chromaticity of the leds changes with the change in forward current. many applications can- not tolerate any shift in the color of the leds. controlling the intensity of the leds via applying a pwm signal allows dimming of the leds without changing the color. dimming the leds via a pwm signal essentially involves turning the leds on and off at the pwm frequency. the human eye has a limit of 60 frames per second. by in- creasing the pwm frequency to say, 80hz, the eye can be deceived into believing that the pulsed light source is continously on. additionally by modulating the duty cycle (amount of on-time), the intensity of the leds can be controlled. the color of the leds remains unchanged in this scheme since the led current value is either zero or a constant value. figure 8(a) shows a 12v to 8/8 white led driver. the pwm dimming control method requires an external nmos tied to the cathode of the lowest led in the string, as shown in i l 500ma/div i led 200ma/div pwm 5v/div 0.2ms/div 3486 g18 v in = 12v 8/8 leds pwm freq = 1khz figure 8b. pwm dimming waveforms
lt3486 3486fd a pplica t ions i n f or m a t ion the fgure. a pwm logic input is applied to the gate of the nmos and the pwm pin of the lt3486. when the pwm input is taken high, the leds are connected to the r fb resistor and a current i led = 200mv/r fb fows through the leds. when the pwm input is taken low, the leds are disconnected and turn off. the low pwm input applied to the lt3486 ensures that the respective converter turns off and its v c pin goes high impedance. this ensures that the capacitor connected to the v c pin retains its voltage which in turn allows the leds to turn on faster, as shown in figure 8(b). the ctrl pin is not used to modulate the led current in the scheme. it can be connected to a supply voltage greater than 1.8v. the dimming control pins (pwm1, pwm2) can be used to extend the dimming range for the individual switching converters. the led current can be controlled down to a levels by feeding a pwm signal with frequencies in the range of 80hz to 50khz. the led current can be controlled by pwm frequencies above 50khz but the controllable current decreases with increasing frequency. pulling the pwm pins below 0.4v disables the respective switcher. taking it higher than 0.9v resumes normal operation. connect these pins to 0.9v or higher if not in use. figure 9 shows the led current variation vs pwm duty cycle. the led current is controlled by applying a pwm of frequency 100hz, 1khz and 25khz to the circuit of figure 8a. as seen in the curves, the led string is able to get a wide (1000:1) dimming range with pwm frequency of 100hz. the dimming range decreases as pwm frequency goes up. board layout consideration as with all switching regulators, careful attention must be paid to the pcb board layout and component placement. to prevent electromagnetic interference (emi) problems, proper layout of high frequency switching paths is essential. minimize the length and area of all traces connected to the switching node pins (sw1 and sw2). keep the feedback pins (fb1 and fb2) away from the switching nodes. the dfn and fe packages both have an exposed paddle that must be connected to the system ground. the ground connection for the feedback resistors should be tied directly to the ground plane and not shared with any other compo- nent, except the r t resistor, ensuring a clean, noise-free connection. recommended component placement for the dfn package is shown in the figure 10. figure 10. recommended layout for lt3486 figure 9. led current variation vs pwm duty cycle pwm duty cycle (%) 0.1 led current (ma) 1 10 100 0.01 1 10 100 3486 f09 0.01 0.1 pwm freq = 100hz pwm freq = 1khz pwm freq = 25khz 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 17 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 3486 f10 ovp1 v out1 v out2 fb1 fb2 led1 led2 ctrl1 ctrl2 v in sw1 sw2 v in v in r t v c1 pwm1 ref ovp2 shdn v c2 pwm2 vias to v in plane vias to ground plane vias to v in plane
