General Description
The APW7000 is a high efficiency charge pump white
LED driver; the device drives up to four white LEDs with
regulated constant current for uniform intensity. The sup-
ply voltage ranges from 2.7V to 5.5V and it is optimized for
a Li-ion battery application. The APW7000 operates in 1x,
1.5x, and 2x charge pump modes and automatically
switches the charge pump modes depend on the input
voltage to maintain the required power for high power
efficiency. The APW7000 provides up to 30mA per LED,
for a total of 120mA and allows several methods such as
a PWM signal on the CTRL0 pin for LED dimming. Three
control logic pins allow to disable or enable a combina-
tion of LEDs. The supply current is only 2mA in 2x mode,
and the EN pin allows the device to enter shutdown mode
with 2µA quiescent current. The APW7000 switches at
1MHz frequency and only requires four 1µF ceramic ca-
pacitors and one resistor, and ensures low input current
ripple and EMI.
The APW7000 is available in a 16-pin QFN package.

Note 1: Stresses beyond the absolute maximum rating may damage the device and operating in the absolute maximum rating
conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
Note 2: The maximum allowable power dissipation at any TA (ambient temperature) is calculated using: PD(max) = (TJ TA) / θJA ;TJ=125°C.
Exceeding the maximum allowable power dissipation will result in excessive die temperature.

Function Description
Soft-Start
The APW7000 provides the soft-start function to limit the
inrush current during startup. When the input voltage is
supplied to the device and exceeds the UVLO voltage,
the output capacitor is charged directly from input with a
limited current source. Approximate 100µs after the out-
put voltage approaches the input voltage, the device starts
to provide the programmed LED current and determines
which of 1x, and 1.5x, or 2x mode is required. When the
programmed LED current can be reached with 1x mode,
the soft-start is completed and the device operates in 1x
mode. When the programmed LED current cannot be
reached, the charge pump goes into 1.5x mode. If the
1.5x mode charge pump cannot suffice for the LED cur-
rent need, the charge pump will switch to 2x mode.
Mode Transition
The APW7000 operates in 1x, 1.5x and 2x charge pump
modes and automatically switches the charge pump
modes depend on the input voltage to main tain the re-
quired power for high power efficiency. If the APW7000
operates in 1x mode, the VOUT is pulled up to VIN. When
VIN decreases, the VILED will decease to maintain the
regulated LED current. Until VILED is below 100mV, the
device will switch to 1.5x mode. In 1.5x mode, the VILED
is regulated to 0.18V, and the output voltage is VF+0.18V.
If VIN continues to decrease until VILED is below 100mV
again, the device will switch to 2x mode. When the VIN
rises and reaches by approximately VOUT-300mV, the
APW7000 switches back to 1.5x mode. If the VIN contin-
ues to rise and reaches by approximately VOUT+300mV,
the APW7000 switches back to 1x mode. The 2x charge
pump is enough to suffice the White LED for a Li-ion
battery application. The APW7000 ensures that in the 1x
mode for as long as possible to increase the efficiency
and extend the operating range by using the 2x mode.
The transition voltages from 1x to 1.5x and 1.5x to 2x are
given by:
VTRANS1X = VF + 0.1V + (IOUT x ROUT1X)
VTRANS1.5X = [VF + 0.1V + (IOUT x ROUT1.5X)] / 1.5
where VF is the forward voltage of LED
IOUT is the output current
ROUT1X is the output impedance in 1x mode = 1.6
ROUT1.5X is the output impedance in 1.5x mode = 7
Control Logic Pins
The APW7000 provides three logic input pins to enable
or disable a combination of LEDs. Table1 shows the truth
table of the logic pins. If the LED channels are not used,
connecting the ILED pins to VOUT to turn off the respec-
tive LED channels.

LED Current Setting

Shutdown/Enable
Pull the EN above 1.3V to enable the device and pull EN
pin below 0.3V to disable the device. In shutdown mode,
all internal control circuits are turned off and the quies-
cent current is below 2µA. When the device exits shut-
down mode, the output has soft-start function as the in-
put voltage startup.
Over-Voltage Protection
If any of LEDs is failed or unused LED channel is not
connected to the VOUT, the charge pump mode will go
into 2x mode and the output voltage will be pumped to 2
times the input voltage. If the output voltage is over 5.5V,
the over-voltage protection circuit will limit the output volt-
age to approximately 5.5V.

Application Information
Capacitor Selection
For lower input and output voltage ripples, both input and
output capacitors should be larger values and lower ESR
capacitors. However, the larger output capacitor values
will increase the soft-start time. The lower charge pump
flying capacitors values and ESR improve the efficiency,
but lower capacitor values may limit the LEDs currents at
low input voltage.
It is recommended that the low ESR and low variation
over temperature, such as the ceramic capacitors with
X7R or X5R and the value is 1µF for the input capacitor,
output capacitor, and the charge pump flying capacitors.
Brightness Control
1. PWM dimming using CTRL0, CTRL1, CTRL2
The first method for dimming the LEDs is to apply a PWM
signal into the CTRL0, CTRL1, and CTRL2 pins. Figure2
shows the application circuit. The average LED current is
proportional to the PWM signal duty cycle. Note that the
frequency of PWM signal will affect the minimum dim-
ming duty. Figure3 shows the LED current vs. dimming
frequency and dimming duty, the recommend dimming
frequency is below 10kHz. The average LED current is
calculated by the following equation:
Where:
ILED(max) is programmed LED current by ISET pin
toff is the off time of the PWM signal

2. Analog dimming with analog voltage
The second method for dimming the LEDs is to apply a
voltage through a resistor into the ISET pin. The variation
of LED current is proportional to the variation of the ana-
log voltage. If the resistor values are chosen correctly, the
analog control voltage varies the output current from 0mA
to full LED current. Figure 4 shows the application circuit.
See the table2 and choose the required maximum LED
current and the corresponsive RSET value, using the be-
low equation to calculate the values of R1 and R2, note
that the VADJ will need to be greater than 1.2V.
Where: VISET = 1.2V
VADJ = the analog voltage for dimming the LEDs
RSET = the equivalent RSET resistance (see table 2).

3. Digital dimming with external NMOS transistors
The third method for dimming the LEDs is to change the
equivalent resistance for RSET with the external NMOS
transistors. The equivalent resistance is the parallel
combinations of the R1, R2, R3, and R4. R4 is always
connected and selected for the minimum LED current.
Figure 5 shows the application circuit.

4. PWM dimming with EN pin
Another method for dimming the LEDs is to apply a PWM
signal into the EN pin. The average LED current is pro-
portional to the PWM signal duty cycle. Note that the fre-
quency of PWM signal will affect the minimum dimming
duty. The recommend dimming frequency is between
100Hz and 1kHz. The average LED current is calculated
by the following equation:
Where:
ILED(max) is programmed LED current by ISET pin
toff is the off time of the PWM signal
ton is the on time of the PWM signal
Layout Consideration
The APW7000 is a high frequency charge pump for white
LED driver and requires some care when laying out the
printed circuit board. The metal GND pad of the bottom of
the package must be soldered to the PCB and connected
to the GND plane on the backside through several ther-
mal vias. Place the CIN, COUT, C1, and C2 as close to IC
as possible for reducing the switching noise.
