SC653
Light Management Unit with
2 LDOs and SemPulse® Interface
POWER MANAGEMENT
Features
Description
Input supply voltage range — 2.9V to 5.5V
Four programmable current sinks with 29 steps from
0mA to 25mA
Very high efficiency charge pump driver system with
three modes — 1x, 1.5x and 2x
The SC653 is a highly integrated light management unit
that provides two low-noise LDOs, a multi-mode high
efficiency charge pump, and four programmable LED
drivers. Performance is optimized for use in single-cell Li-
ion battery applications.
Two programmable 200mA low-noise LDO regulators
Charge pump frequency — 250kHz
SemPulse single wire interface
Backlight current accuracy — 1.5ꢀ typical
Backlight current matching — 0.5ꢀ typical
Fade-in/fade-out feature for main backlight
Automatic sleep mode (LEDs off) — IQ = 100μA
Shutdown current — 0.1μA (typical)
Ultra-thin package — 2.3 x 2.3 x 0.6 (mm)
Lead-free and halogen-free
The load and supply conditions determine whether the
charge pump operates in 1x, 1.5x, or 2x mode. A program-
mable fading feature can be enabled to gradually adjust
the backlight current, simplifying control software. The
low-dropout, low-noise linear regulators can be used for
powering a camera module or other peripheral circuits.
The SC653 uses the proprietary SemPulse single wire
®
interface. This interface controls all functions of the device,
including backlight currents and LDO voltage outputs.
The single wire interface minimizes microcontroller and
interface pin counts.
WEEE and RoHS compliant
Applications
Cellular phones, smart phones, and PDAs
LCD modules
Portable media players
Digital cameras and GPS units
Display backlighting and LED indicators
The SC653 enters sleep mode when all the LED drivers are
disabled. In this mode, the quiescent current is reduced
while the device continues to monitor the SemPulse inter-
face. The two LDOs can be enabled when the device is in
sleep mode.
