LDS8710 High Efficiency 10 LED Driver With No External Schottky FEATURES High efficiency boost converter with the input voltage range from 2.7 to 5.5 V No external Schottky Required (Internal synchronous rectifier*) 250 mV current sense voltage Drives one LED string with 10 LEDs in series up to 30 mA 0.7 MHz Switching Frequency Efficiency greater than 83% PWM LED Dimming Control Mode Over-voltage, under-voltage, over-current, and over-temperature protection Low Shutdown Current (<1A) Available in 2 x 3 x 0.8 mm 8-pin TDFN package eliminating the need for ballast resistors and factory calibration. Operation at 0.7 MHz allows use of small value low profile inductor (10 - 33 H) and 1F 50V ceramic capacitor. The use of integrated synchronous rectifier makes the efficiency dependent on only inductor DC resistance. The supply voltage down to 2.7 V for new Li-ion battery chemistries or two alkaline battery cells extends the battery life. Under-voltage protection disables the part when VIN voltage reaches 2.0V APPLICATION 0 Color Display Backlight Portable Navigation and GPS Receivers Smart phones Digital Photo Frames Portable DVD Players Multimedia Phones The LDS8710 has thermal shutdown set at 150 C. Above this value , the boost converter stops switching. The part resumes normal operations when 0 temperature drops below 130 C. The over-current protection provides cycle-by-cycle current limit. DESCRIPTION The internal output over-voltage protection prevents damage in the case of a faulty LED disconnect. The LDS8710 is a fixed frequency current mode boost converter with internal synchronous rectifier and cycle-by-cycle switch current limit specifically designed to drive a string of up to 10 White LEDs with factory preset maximum current 20, 25, or 30 mA.

High Voltage Bypass; Connect a 470 pF capacitor HVB between this point and VOUT Current Sense input. Connect LED string cathode LEDS terminal to this pin EN/PWM Device Enable (active high) and Dimming Control PAD Connect to GND on the PCB Top view: TDFN 8-lead 2 X 3 mm PIN FUNCTION V IN is the supply pin for the driver. A small 1 F ceramic bypass capacitor is required between the VIN pin and ground near the device. The operating input voltage range is from 2.7 V to 5.5 V. If the input supply voltage falls below the under-voltage threshold, switch is disabled, and the device enters shutdown mode. GND is the ground reference for the analog circuits. The pin must be connected to the ground plane on the PCB. Avoid high currents flowing trough traces connecting this pin with EN/PWM signal source. PGND is the current return for high current circuits. The pin must be connected to the ground plane on the PCB. Connect GND and PGND as close to the driver as possible. HVB is the internal high voltage reference point. Connect a 4700 pF capacitor between this point and V OUT. LEDS is the Current Sense pin that provides internal regulated current sink for LED string. Connect LED string cathode to this pin. This pin enter highimpedance zero current state whenever the device is in shutdown mode. EN/PWM is the enable and PWM control logic input. Guaranteed levels of logic high and logic low are set at 1.4V and 0.4V respectively. When EN/PWM is initially taken high, the device becomes enabled and LED current sets to maximum programmed value.. To place the device into shutdown mode, the EN/PWM pin must be held low for more than 10 ms. PAD is the exposed pad underneath the package. For best thermal performance, the pad should be soldered to the PCB and connected to the ground plane V OUT is the driver' output that is connected to the LED anode. A ceramic bypass capacitor of 1 F requires between the VOUT pin and ground near the device. (c) 2010 IXYS Corp. Characteristics subject to change without notice 3 Doc. No. 8710DS, Rev.

Characteristics subject to change without notice 5 Doc. No. 8710DS, Rev. N1.0 LDS8710 BLOCK DIAGRAM Figure 2. LDS8710 Functional Block Diagram BASIC OPERATION avoid visible LED flikering. Duty cycle that determines average LED string current may vary in the range from 5% to 100% at 1 kHz or from 20% to 100% at 30 kHz with high linearity current regulation. At power-up, EN/PWM pin should be logic LOW. The LDS8710 starts operating when EN/PWM pin is asserted logic high. If the input voltage is sufficient to regulate all LED currents, the device remains in operating mode. The low dropout Current regulator performs well at VOUT voltage up to 250 mV above summary LED forward voltage significantly increasing driver's efficiency. Protection Mode The output voltage VOUT is limited at about 36 V. This is to prevent the output pin from exceeding its absolute maximum rating if LED string is disconnected or any LED.in string burns out creating open circuitry. If the input voltage is insufficient or falls to a level where the regulated currents cannot be maintained, the Under-Voltage protection turns device off setting it in shutdown mode. If the die temperature exceeds +150C, the driver will enter a thermal protection shutdown mode. When the device temperature drops by about 20C, the device will resume normal operation. The LDS8710 has soft start function that prevent high input current spike at device' wake-up. The EN/PWM pin should be held low for more than 10 ms to completely turn device in low current shutdown mode. If the input supply voltage falls below the undervoltage threshold, switch is disabled, and the device enters shutdown mode. LED Current Setting LED Selection The maximum current value in the LED string is factory preset at 20, 25, or 30 mA. The average LED string current that determines LED brightness may be controlled applying PWM signal to the EN/PWM pin. The maximum PWM frequency is 30 kHz, while frequiencies below 100 Hz are not recommended to The number of the LEDs in string is limited by maximum output voltage that cannot exceed overvoltage protection level. We recommend using not more than 10 LEDs with VF 3.6 V in string if VIN voltage is above 3.0 V and not more that six LEDs if V IN may fall up to 2.7 V. (c) 2010 IXYS Corp. Characteristics subject to change without notice 6 Doc. No. 8710DS, Rev. N1.0 LDS8710 External Components Selection The equation for the output capacitor selection is: ( NVF V d V IN ) I OUT C OUT , where ( NV F Vd )V R f The LDS8710 requires four external components only. The recommended input capacitor value is between 1.0 and 10 F, while the output cap selection is function of desired output ripple, loop stability, and inrush current. We recommend COUT = 1 F. VR - is a ripple voltage at the output. The inductor should allow around 20% higher peak current than LDS8710 Switch Current Limit ILIM (see table Electrical Operating Characteristics on page 2). If V IN = 2.7 V, N = 10, VF = 3.6 V, Vd = 0.25 V, f = 0.7 MHz, IOUT = 30 mA, and ripple voltage VR = 0.05 V, C OUT = 0.77 F so 1 F is a good choice. However, the maximum ripple current through inductor IR should not exceed We recommend COUT = 1 F to achieve better efficiency and driver's stability. I LED NV F Vd I R 2 I , where LIM V IN Recommended Layout For example: In active mode, the driver switches internally at a high frequency. We recommend minimize trace length to all external capacitors and inductor. The input and output ceramic capacitors (X5R or X7R type) should located as close to the device' pins as possible to prevent from EMI distribution V F - is a LED forward voltage, V N - is number of LEDs per string Vd - is a current regulator voltage drop = 0.25 V, V IN - is an input voltage, V A ground plane should cover the area under the driver IC as well as the bypass capacitors. Short connection to ground on capacitors CIN and COUT can be implemented with the use of multiple via. A copper area matching the TDFN exposed pad (PAD) must be connected to the ground plane underneath. The use of multiple via improves the package heat dissipation. We recommend continuous conduction mode for inductor to achieve highest efficiency. That limits IR value as 2I NV F Vd I R LED V IN Inductor value L is a function of switching frequency, input and output voltage and is determined by following equation: 1 1 1 IR f NV V V V V F d PM IN IN L , where V PM - is a voltage drop across synchronous rectifier (PMOSFET) = 1.5 ohms x ILED, (A), L - is an inductance, H, and f - is a switching frequency, 700 kHz. Figure 3. Recommended layout Inductor should have minimum DC resistance to avoid driver's efficiency degradation. . (c) 2010 IXYS Corp. Characteristics subject to change without notice 7 Doc.
