CAT4139 22 V High Current Boost White LED Driver Description The CAT4139 is a DC/DC step-up converter that delivers an accurate constant current ideal for driving LEDs. Operation at a fixed switching frequency of 1 MHz allows the device to be used with small value external ceramic capacitors and inductor. LEDs connected in series are driven with a regulated current set by the external resistor R1. The CAT4139 is ideal for driving parallel strings of up to five white LEDs in series or up to 22 V. LED dimming can be done by using a DC voltage, a logic signal, or a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal. The shutdown input pin allows the device to be placed in power-down mode with "zero" quiescent current. In addition to thermal protection and overload current limiting, the device also enters a very low power operating mode during "Open LED" fault conditions. The device is housed in a low profile (1 mm max height) 5-lead TSOT-23 package for space critical applications. http://onsemi.com 5 1 TSOT-23 TD SUFFIX CASE 419AE PIN CONNECTIONS 1 GND Switch Current Limit 750 mA Drives LED Strings up to 22 V Up to 87% Efficiency Low Quiescent Ground Current 0.6 mA 1 MHz Fixed Frequency Low Noise Operation Soft Start "In-rush" Current Limiting Shutdown Current Less than 1 mA Open LED Overvoltage Protection Automatic Shutdown at 1.9 V (UVLO) Thermal Overload Protection TSOT-23 5-Lead (1 mm Max Height) These Devices are Pb-Free, Halogen Free/BFR Free and are RoHS Compliant * GPS Navigation Systems * Portable Media Players * Handheld Devices February, 2010 - Rev. 1 (Top View) MARKING DIAGRAM TPYM TP = Specific Device Code Y = Production Year (Last Digit) M = Production Month (1-9, A, B, C) ORDERING INFORMATION Device CAT4139TD-GT3 (Note 1) Applications (c) Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC, 2010 SHDN FB Features * * * * * * * * * * * * VIN SW Package Shipping TSOT-23 (Pb-Free) 3,000/ Tape & Reel 1.

Switch Current Limit http://onsemi.com 6 5.5 5.0 CAT4139 Pin Description VIN is the supply input for the internal logic. The device is compatible with supply voltages down to 2.8 V and up to 5.5 V. It is recommended that a small bypass ceramic capacitor (4.7 mF) be placed between the VIN and GND pins near the device. If the supply voltage drops below 1.9 V, the device stops switching. SHDN is the shutdown logic input. When the pin is tied to a voltage lower than 0.4 V, the device is in shutdown mode, drawing nearly zero current. When the pin is connected to a voltage higher than 1.5 V, the device is enabled. GND is the ground reference pin. This pin should be connected directly to the ground plane on the PCB. SW pin is connected to the drain of the internal CMOS power switch of the boost converter. The inductor and the Schottky diode anode should be connected to the SW pin. Traces going to the SW pin should be as short as possible with minimum loop area. An over-voltage detection circuit is connected to the SW pin. When the voltage reaches 24 V, the device enters a low power operating mode preventing the SW voltage from exceeding the maximum rating. FB feedback pin is regulated at 0.3 V. A resistor connected between the FB pin and ground sets the LED current according to the formula: I LED + 0.3 V R1 The lower LED cathode is connected to the FB pin. Table 4.

Simplified Block Diagram http://onsemi.com 7 CAT4139 Device Operation The CAT4139 is a fixed frequency (1 MHz), low noise, inductive boost converter that provides a constant current with excellent line and load regulation. The device uses a high-voltage CMOS power switch between the SW pin and ground to energize the inductor. When the switch is turned off, the stored energy in the inductor is released into the load via the Schottky diode. The on/off duty cycle of the power switch is internally adjusted and controlled to maintain a constant regulated voltage of 0.3 V across the feedback resistor connected to the feedback pin (FB). The value of the resistor sets the LED current accordingly (0.3 V/R1). During the initial power-up stage, the duty cycle of the internal power switch is limited to prevent excessive in-rush currents and thereby provide a "soft-start" mode of operation. In the event of an "Open LED" fault condition, where the feedback control loop becomes open, the output voltage will continue to increase. Once this voltage exceeds 24 V, an internal protection circuit will become active and place the device into a very low power safe operating mode. Thermal overload protection circuitry has been included to prevent the device from operating at unsafe junction temperatures above 150C. In the event of a thermal overload condition the device will automatically shutdown and wait till the junction temperatures cools to 130C before normal operation is resumed. Application Information External Component Selection Capacitors forward voltage should be as low as possible. The response time is also critical since the driver is operating at 1 MHz. Central Semiconductor Schottky rectifier CMSH1-40 (1 A rated) is recommended for most applications. The CAT4139 only requires small ceramic capacitors of 4.7 mF on the input and 1 mF on the output. Under normal condition, a 4.7 mF input capacitor is sufficient. For applications with higher output power, a larger input capacitor of 10 mF may be appropriate. X5R and X7R capacitor types are ideal due to their stability across temperature range. LED Current Setting The LED current is set by the external resistor R1 connected between the feedback pin (FB) and ground. The formula below gives the relationship between the resistor and the current: Inductor A 22 mH inductor is recommended for most of the CAT4139 applications. In cases where the efficiency is critical, inductances with lower series resistance are preferred. Inductors with current rating of 800 mA or higher are recommended for most applications. Sumida CDRH6D28-220 22 mH inductor has a rated current of 1.2 A and a series resistance (D.C.R.) of 128 mW typical. R1 + 0.3 V LED current Table 5.

The Schottky diode performance is rated in terms of its forward voltage at a given current. In order to achieve the best efficiency, this http://onsemi.com 8 CAT4139 Schottky 40 V (Central CMSH05-4) Open LED Protection In the event of an "Open LED" fault condition, the CAT4139 will continue to boost the output voltage with maximum power until the output voltage reaches approximately 24 V. Once the output exceeds this level, the internal circuitry immediately places the device into a very low power mode where the total input power is limited to about 6 mW (about 1.6 mA input current with a 3.6 V supply). The SW pin clamps at a voltage below its maximum rating of 40 V. There is no need to use an external zener diode between VOUT and the FB pin. A 35 V rated C2 capacitor is required to prevent any overvoltage damage in the open LED condition. L VIN D VOUT 22 mH C1 4.7 mF C2 1 mF SW VIN CAT4139 OFF ON SHDN FB GND R1 15 W Figure 18.

Filtered PWM Signal A filtered PWM signal used as a variable DC voltage can control the LED current. Figure 24 shows the PWM control circuitry connected to the CAT4139 FB pin. The PWM signal has a voltage swing of 0 V to 2.5 V. The LED current can be dimmed within a range from 0 mA to 20 mA. The PWM signal frequency can vary from very low frequency and up to 100 kHz. PWM Signal on the SHDN Pin LED brightness dimming can be done by applying a PWM signal to the SHDN input. The LED current is repetitively turned on and off, so that the average current is proportional to the duty cycle. A 100% duty cycle, with SHDN always high, corresponds to the LEDs at nominal current. Figure 23 shows a 1 kHz signal with a 50% duty cycle applied to the SHDN pin. The recommended PWM frequency range is from 100 Hz to 2 kHz.

The traces that carry the high-frequency switching current have to be carefully laid out on the board in order to minimize EMI, ripple and noise in general. The thicker lines on Figure 26 show the switching current path. All these traces have to be short and wide enough to minimize the parasitic inductance and resistance. The loop shown on Figure 26 corresponds to the current path when the CAT4139 internal switch is closed. On Figure 27 is shown L D VIN V OUT the current loop, when the CAT4139 switch is open. Both loop areas should be as small as possible. Capacitor C1 has to be placed as close as possible to the VIN pin and GND. The capacitor C2 has to be connected separately to the top LED anode. A ground plane under the CAT4139 allows for direct connection of the capacitors to ground. The resistor R1 must be connected directly to the GND pin of the CAT4139 and not shared with the switching current loops and any other components.
