Ultra-Efficient Charge Pumps for
Six White/RGB LEDs in 3mm x 3mm Thin QFN
The MAX8647/MAX8648 drive up to six white LEDs or
two sets of RGB LEDs with regulated constant current
for display backlight and fun light applications. By utilizing an inverting charge pump and extremely lowdropout adaptive current regulators, these ICs achieve
very high efficiency over the full 1-cell Li+ battery voltage range and even with large LED forward voltage
mismatch. The 1MHz fixed-frequency switching allows
for tiny external components. The regulation scheme is
optimized to ensure low EMI and low input ripple. The
MAX8647/MAX8648 include thermal shutdown, openand short-circuit protection.
The MAX8647 features an I 2C serial port, while the
MAX8648 features a three-wire serial-pulse logic interface. Both devices support independent on/off and
dimming for main and subbacklights. The dimming
ranges are pseudo-logarithmic from 24mA to 0.1mA
and off in 32 steps. Both devices include a temperature
derating function to safely allow bright 24mA full-scale
output current setting while automatically reducing current to protect LEDs at high ambient temperatures
above +60°C.
The MAX8647/MAX8648 are available in a 16-pin, 3mm
x 3mm thin QFN package (0.8mm max height).

Pin Description
MAX8647/MAX8648
Ultra-Efficient Charge Pumps for
Six White/RGB LEDs in 3mm x 3mm Thin QFN
Detailed Description
The MAX8647/MAX8648 have an inverting charge
pump and six current regulators capable of 24mA each
to drive six white LEDs or two sets of RGB LEDs. The
current regulators are matched to within ±0.4% (typ)
providing uniform white LED brightness for LCD backlight applications. To maximize efficiency, the current
regulators operate with as little as 0.15V voltage drop.
Individual white LED current regulators conduct current
to GND or NEG to extend usable battery life. In the
case of mismatched forward voltage of white LEDs,
only the white LEDs requiring higher voltage are
switched to pull current to NEG instead of GND, further
raising efficiency and reducing battery current drain.
used. Figure 2 shows a timing diagram for the I2C protocol. The MAX8647 is a slave-only device, relying
upon a master to generate a clock signal. The master
(typically a microprocessor) initiates data transfer on
the bus and generates SCL to permit data transfer. A
master device communicates with the MAX8647 by
transmitting the proper 8-bit address (0x9A) followed
by the 8-bit control byte. Each 8-bit control byte consists of a 3-bit command code and 5 bits of data (Table
1). Each transmit sequence is framed by a START (A)
condition and a STOP (L) condition (Figure 2). Each
word transmitted over the bus is 8 bits long and is
always followed by an ACKNOWLEDGE CLOCK
PULSE (K). The power-on default settings for D4 to D0
are all 0, which indicates that all LED_ are off.
Current-Regulator Switchover
Serial-Pulse Dimming Control (MAX8648)
When V IN is higher than the forward voltage of the
white LED plus the 0.15V headroom of the current regulator, the LED current returns through GND. If this condition is satisfied for all six white LEDs, the charge
pump remains inactive. When the input voltage drops
so that the current-regulator headroom cannot be maintained for any of the individual white LEDs, the inverting
charge pump activates and generates a voltage on the
NEG pin that is no greater than 5V below VIN. Each current regulator contains circuitry that detects when it is
in dropout and switches that current-regulator return
path from GND to NEG. Since this is done on an LEDby-LED basis, the LED current is switched for only the
individual LED requiring higher voltage, thus minimizing
power consumption.
When the LEDs are enabled by driving EN_ high, the
MAX8648 ramps LED current to 24mA. Dim the LEDs
by pulsing EN_ low (1µs to 500µs pulse width). Each
pulse reduces the LED current based on the LED dimming table, Table 3. After the current reaches 0.1mA,
the next pulse restores the current to 24mA. Figure 3
shows a timing diagram for EN_. ENA controls LED1,
LED2, and LED3. ENB controls LED4 and LED5. ENC
controls LED6.
Low LED Current Levels
The MAX8647/MAX8648 internally generate a PWM signal to obtain higher resolution at lower currents. See
Single-Wire Pulse Dimming in the Typical Operating
Characteristics section. As the ILED setting is below
6.4mA, the IC adjusts not only ILED DC current, but the
duty cycle is controlled by the PWM signal. The frequency of the PWM dimming signal is set at 1kHz with
a minimum duty cycle of 1/16 to avoid the LED flicking
effect to human eyes. Table 1 shows the current level
and the corresponding duty cycle.
I2C Interface (MAX8647)
An I 2 C 2-wire serial interface is provided on the
MAX8647 to control the LEDs. The serial interface
consists of a serial-data line (SDA) and a serial-clock
line (SCL). Standard I 2 C write-byte commands are
8
If dimming control is not required, EN_ work as simple
100% brightness or off controls. Drive EN_ high to enable
the LEDs, or drive EN_ low to disable. The IC is shutdown when all three EN_ are low for 4ms or longer.

The MAX8647 is shutdown when all LEDs are turned off
through the I2C port. In shutdown, the I2C port is still
active and ready to receive a command.
The MAX8648 is shutdown when all three EN_ are held
low for 4ms or longer. In shutdown, NEG is pulled to
GND with a 10kΩ internal resistor.

Temperature Derating Function
The MAX8647/MAX8648 contain a derating function that
automatically limits the LED current at high temperatures
to help protect the LEDs from damage. The derating
function enables the safe usage of higher LED current at
room temperature, thus reducing the number of LEDs
required to backlight the display. The derating circuit
lowers the LED current at approximately 2.5%/°C once
the IC is above +60°C. The typical derating function
characteristic is shown in the Typical Operating
Characteristics.
10
Power-Up LED Detection and
Fault Protection
The MAX8648 contains special circuitry to detect shortcircuit conditions at power-up and disable the corresponding current regulator to avoid wasting battery
current. Connect any unused LED_ to IN to disable the
corresponding current regulator. If an LED fails short
circuit, the current regulator continues the current regulated operation until power to the IC is cycled and the
short circuit is detected. An open-circuit LED failure drives the voltage on the corresponding LED_ output

below the switch over threshold enabling the inverting
charge pump.
For the MAX8647, program any unused LED_ to off
using the I2C interface. Unused LED_ can be connected to IN or left unconnected.
Thermal Shutdown
The MAX8647/MAX8648 includes a thermal-limit circuit
that shuts down the IC above about +160°C. The IC
turns on after it cools by approximately 20°C.
Applications Information
Input Ripple
For LED drivers, input ripple is more important than output ripple. The amount of input ripple depends on the
source supply’s output impedance. Adding a lowpass
filter to the input of the MAX8647/MAX8648 further
reduces input ripple. Alternatively, increasing CIN to
2.2µF (or 4.7µF) cuts input ripple in half (or in fourth)
with only a small increase in footprint.

Capacitor Selection
Ceramic capacitors are recommended due to their small
size, low cost, and low ESR. Select ceramic capacitors
that maintain their capacitance over temperature and
DC bias. Capacitors with X5R or X7R temperature characteristics generally perform well. Recommended values are shown in the Typical Operating Circuit. Using a
larger value input capacitor helps to reduce input ripple
(see the Input Ripple section).
Driving LEDs with Multiple Supplies
It is not necessary for the LED anodes to connect to IN.
Figure 7 shows an example using separate supplies to
power the LED_ groups of the MAX8648. In this example, the voltage source (V1) provides power for RGB
LEDs (LED1, LED2, and LED3). V2 provides power for
backlight LEDs (LED4 and LED5), and V3 provides
power for a red charge indicator (LED6).
PCB Layout and Routing
The MAX8647/MAX8648 have a high-frequency,
switched-capacitor voltage inverter. For best circuit performance, use a solid copper plane and place C1–C4 as
close as possible to the MAX8647/MAX8648. Figure 4
shows the MAX8648 evaluation kit example layout.
