SC652
Backlight Driver for 5 LEDs with
Charge Pump and PWM Control
POWER MANAGEMENT
Features
Description
Input supply voltage range — 2.9V to 5.5V
Charge pump modes — 1x, 1.5x and 2x
PWM dimming control with low pass filter provides
DC backlight current (not pulsed)
The SC652 is a high efficiency charge pump LED driver
using Semtech’s proprietary charge pump technology.
Performance is optimized for use in single-cell Li-ion
battery applications.
PWM frequency range — 200Hz to 50kHz
Five adjustable current sinks — 500μA to 25mA
Backlight current accuracy 1.5ꢀ typical
Backlight current matching 0.5ꢀ typical
LED float detection
Charge pump frequency — 250kHz
Low shutdown current — 0.1μA typical
Ultra-thin package — 2 x 2 x 0.6(mm)
Fully WEEE and RoHS compliant
The device provides backlight current using up to five
matched current sinks. The load and supply conditions
determine whether the charge pump operates in 1x, 1.5x,
or 2x mode.
The maximum current per LED is set by a resistor (RISET
)
connected from the ISET pin to the input voltage. The
current can be set between 500μA and 25mA. This current
can be varied by applying a pulse-width modulated (PWM)
signal to the EN/PWM pin. A low-pass filter is used to
develop a DC current level rather than a pulsed current
output, resulting in a more efficient system. The resulting
DC current in each LED (IBL) is equal to the maximum
current setting multiplied by the duty cycle of the PWM
control signal. Using this control system, IBL can gradually
fade between levels.
Applications
Cellular phones, smart phones, and PDAs
LCD display modules
Portable media players
Digital cameras
Personal navigation devices
Display/keypad backlighting and LED indicators
With a 2 x 2 (mm) package and 4 small capacitors, the
SC652 provides a complete LED driver solution with a
minimal PCB footprint.
