Therefore, when RSET connects FB pin and GND, the current flows from VOUT through LED and RSET to GND will be decided by the current on RSET , which is equal to following equation : V ILED = REF RSET filtered reference voltage is low and the offset can cause bigger variation of the output current. So the RT9293A is not recommend to be dimming by the EN pin. For the RT9293B, the minimum duty vs frequency is listed in following table. 300mV EN VA Dimming Control a. Using a PWM Signal to EN Pin For the brightness dimming control of the RT9293, the IC provides typically 300mV feedback voltage when the EN pin is pulled constantly high. However, EN pin allows a PWM signal to reduce this regulation voltage by changing the PWM duty cycle to achieve LED brightness dimming control. The relationship between the duty cycle and FB voltage can be calculated as following equation : VFB = Duty x 300mV Where Duty = duty cycle of the PWM signal 300mV = internal reference voltage As shown in Figure 1, the duty cycle of the PWM signal is used to cut the internal 300mV reference voltage. An internal low pass filter is used to filter the pulse signal. And then the reference voltage can be made by connecting the output of the filter to the error amplifier for the FB pin voltage regulation. However, the internal low pass filter 3db frequency is 500Hz. When the dimming frequency is lower then 500Hz, VA is also a PWM signal and the LED current is controlled directly by this signal. When the frequency is higher than 500Hz, PWM is filtered by the internal low pass filter and the VA approach a DC signal. And the LED current is a DC current which elimate the audio noise. Two figures of PWM Dimming from EN are shown in Typical Operating Characteristics section and the PWM dimming frequency is 200Hz and 20kHz respectively. But there is an offset in error amplifier which will cause the VA variation. In low PWM duty signal situation, the www.richtek.com 8 + EA - To Controller FB Figure 1. Block Diagram of Programmable FB Voltage Using PWM Signal Duty Minimum Dimming frequency < 500Hz Dimming frequency > 500Hz 4% 10% b. Using a DC Voltage Using a variable DC voltage to adjust the brightness is a popular method in some applications. The dimming control using a DC voltage circuit is shown in Figure 2. As the DC voltage increases, the current f lows through R3 increasingly and the voltage drop on R3 increase, i.e. the LED current decreases. For example, if the VDC range is from 0V to 2.8V and assume the RT9293 is selected which VREF is equal to 0.3V, the selection of resistors in Figure 2 sets the LED current from 21mA to 0mA. The LED current can be calculated by the following equation.

Dimming Control Using a DC Voltage DS9293-01 April 2011 RT9293 c. Using a Filtered PWM signal Another common application is using a filtered PWM signal as an adjustable DC voltage for LED dimming control. A filtered PWM signal acts as the DC voltage to regulate the output current. The recommended application circuit is shown as Figure 3. In this circuit, the output ripple depends on the frequency of PWM signal. For smaller output voltage ripple (<100mV), the recommended frequency of 2.8V PWM signal should be above 2kHz. To fix the frequency of PWM signal and change the duty cycle of PWM signal can get different output current. The LED current can be calculated by the following equation : VREF - ILED = VIN 2.5V to 5.5V R3 x (VPWM x Duty - VREF ) R4 + RDC RSET Constant Output Voltage Control The output voltage of the R9293 can be adjusted by the divider circuit on the FB pin. Figure 5 shows the application circuit for the constant output voltage.

Figure 4 shows the relationship between the LED current and PWM duty cycle. For example, when the PWM duty is equal to 60%, the LED current will be equal to 8.6mA. When the PWM duty is equal to 40%, the LED current will be equal to 12.7mA.

PWM Duty Cycle vs. LED Current DS9293-01 April 2011 www.richtek.com 9 RT9293 Application for Driving 3 x 13 WLEDs Inductor Selection The RT9293 can drive different WLEDs topology. For example, the Figure 6 shows the 3x13 WLEDs and total current is equal to 260mA. The total WLEDs current can be set by the RSET which is equal to following equation. The recommended value of inductor for 10 WLEDs applications is from 10H to 47H. Small size and better efficiency are the major concerns for portable devices, such as the RT9293 used for mobile phone. The inductor should have low core loss at 1MHz and low DCR for better efficiency. The inductor saturation current rating should be considered to cover the inductor peak current. ITotal = VREF RSET Power Sequence In order to assure the normal soft start function for suppressing the inrush current the input voltage should be ready before EN pulls high. Soft-Start The function of soft-start is made for suppressing the inrush current to an acceptable value at the beginning of poweron. The RT9293 provides a built-in soft-start function by clamping the output voltage of error amplifier so that the duty cycle of the PWM will be increased gradually in the soft-start period. Current Limiting The current flow through inductor as charging period is detected by a current sensing circuit. As the value comes across the current limiting threshold, the N-MOSFET will be turned off so that the inductor will be forced to leave charging stage and enter discharging stage. Therefore, the inductor current will not increase over the current limiting threshold. OVP/UVLO/OTP The Over Voltage Protection is detected by a junction breakdown detecting circuit. Once VOUT goes over the detecting voltage, LX pin stops switching and the power N-MOSFET will be turned off. Then, the VOUT will be clamped to be near VOVP. As the output voltage is higher than a specified value or input voltage is lower than a specified value, the chip will enter protection mode to prevent abnormal function. As the die temperature is higher then 160C, the chip also will enter protection mode. The power MOSFET will be turned off during protection mode to prevent abnormal operation. Capacitor Selection Input ceramic capacitor of 2.2F and output ceramic capacitor of 1F are recommended for the RT9293 applications for driving 10 series WLEDs. For better voltage filtering, ceramic capacitors with low ESR are recommended. X5R and X7R types are suitable because of their wider voltage and temperature ranges. Thermal Considerations For continuous operation, do not exceed absolute maximum operation junction temperature. The maximum power dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of IC package, PCB layout, the rate of surroundings airflow and temperature difference between junction to ambient. The maximum power dissipation can be calculated by following formula : PD(MAX) = ( TJ(MAX) - TA ) / JA Where T J(MAX) is the maximum operation junction temperature, TA is the ambient temperature and the JA is the junction to ambient thermal resistance. For the recommended operating conditions specification of RT9293, the maximum junction temperature of the die is 125C. The junction to ambient thermal resistance JA is layout dependent. The junction to ambient thermal resistance for TSOT-23-6 package is 255C/W and for WDFN-8L 2x2 package is 165C/W on the standard JEDEC 51-3 single layer thermal test board. The maximum power dissipation at TA = 25C can be calculated by following formula : PD(MAX) = (125C - 25C) / (165C/W) = 0.606W for WDFN-8L 2x2 packages PD(MAX) = (125C - 25C) / (255C/W) = 0.392W for TSOT-23-6 packages www.richtek.com 10 DS9293-01 April 2011 RT9293 The maximum power dissipation depends on operating ambient temperature for fixed T J(MAX) and thermal resistance JA. For RT9293 packages, the Figure 7 of derating curves allows the designer to see the effect of rising ambient temperature on the maximum power allowed. Maximum Power Dissipation (W) 0.8 Single Layer PCB Layout Consideration For best performance of the RT9293, the following guidelines must be strictly followed. } Input and Output capacitors should be placed close to the IC and connected to ground plane to reduce noise coupling. } The GND and Exposed Pad should be connected to a strong ground plane for heat sinking and noise protection. } Keep the main current traces as possible as short and wide. } LX node of DC-DC converter is with high frequency voltage swing.
