The CAT3616 is a high efficiency 1x/1.5x fractional
charge pump with programmable dimming current in
six LED channels. To ensure uniform brightness in
LCD backlight applications, each LED channel
delivers an accurate regulated current.
6 LED channels with tight matching
Independent Main and Sub channels
1-wire EZDimTM Programmable LED Current
Accurate 1mA Dimming Level
Power efficiency up to 91%
Fractional pump 1x/1.5x
Low noise input ripple
Fixed High Frequency Operation 1MHz
“Zero” Current Shutdown Mode
Soft start and current limiting
Short circuit protection
Thermal shutdown protection
RoHS-compliant 16-lead Thin QFN 4mm x 4mm
package
Low noise and input ripple is achieved by operating at
a constant switching frequency of 1MHz which allows
the use of small external ceramic capacitors. The
1x/1.5x fractional charge pump supports a wide range
of input voltages from 3V to 5.5V with efficiency up to
91%, and is ideal for Li-Ion battery powered devices.
Two groups of LEDs, main (MAIN1 to MAIN4) and sub
(SUB1 and SUB2) are programmable through the
¯¯¯ (active low) and ENS
¯¯¯ inputs. Independent
ENM
current from 1mA to 31mA with a 1mA step are set by
¯¯¯ and ENS
¯¯¯ inputs. The enable EN
toggling the ENM
input pin allows to shutdown the device with zero
quiescent current.

PIN FUNCTION
VIN is the supply pin for the charge pump. A small
1µF ceramic bypass capacitor is required between the
VIN pin and ground near the device. The operating
input voltage range is up to 5.5V. When the input
supply falls below the undervoltage threshold (2V), all
LED channels are disabled.
is required between the VOUT pin and ground near
the device.
EN is the enable logic input. Logic level for high and
low are set at 1.3V and 0.4V respectively. When EN is
initially taken high, the device becomes enabled and
all LED currents remain at 0mA. To place the device
into zero current shutdown mode, the EN pin must be
held low for 1.5ms or more.
C1+, C1- are connected to each side of the 1µF
ceramic bucket capacitor C1.
GND is the ground reference for the charge pump.
The pin must be connected to the ground plane on the
PCB.
C2+, C2- are connected to each side of the 1µF
ceramic bucket capacitor C2.
MAIN1-4, SUB1-2 provide the internal regulated
current for each of the LED cathodes. These pins
enter a high impedance zero current state whenever
the device is placed in shutdown mode. In
applications using less than six LEDs, the unused
channels should be wired directly to VOUT. This
ensures the channel is automatically disabled
dissipating less than 200µA.
¯¯¯ , ENS
¯¯¯ are the active low enable/ dimming control
ENM
logic inputs for respectively main and sub LED
channels. The falling edge of the first pulse applied to
¯¯¯ and ENS
¯¯¯ sets the current for respectively the
ENM
main and sub LED channels to their full scale of
31mA. On each consecutive falling edge of the pulse
¯¯¯ and ENS
¯¯¯ , the LED current is
applied to ENM
decreased by 1mA step. On the 32nd pulse, the LED
current is set to zero. The next pulse resets the
current back to the full scale of 31mA.
TAB is the exposed pad underneath the package. For
best thermal performance, the tab should be soldered
to the PCB and connected to the ground plane.

BASIC OPERATION
At power-up, the CAT3616 starts operating in 1x
mode where the output will be approximately equal to
the input supply voltage (less any internal voltage
losses). If the output voltage is sufficient to regulate all
LED currents the device remains in 1x operating
mode.
In 1.5x mode, the output is approximately equal to 1.5
times the input supply voltage (less any internal
voltage losses).
The above sequence is repeated each and every time
the chip is powered-up or is taken out of shutdown
mode (via EN pin).
If the input voltage is insufficient or falls to a level
where the regulated currents cannot be maintained,
the device automatically switches (after 400µs) into
1.5x mode.

channels MAIN1 to MAIN4. ENS

way. The chip must first be enabled by setting the
¯¯¯ or ENS

enable input EN high. On the first ENM
transition from high to low, the LED current in the
associated LEDs is set to the full scale 31mA. On
¯¯¯ or ENS
¯¯¯ , the
each consecutive falling edge of ENM
LED current is decreased by 1mA. On the 32nd pulse,
the LED channel is turned off and the current drops to
¯¯¯ or ENS
¯¯¯ pulse resets the full
0mA. One additional ENM
current to 31mA, as shown on Figure 1.
The driver enters a thermal shutdown mode as soon as
the die temperature exceeds about +165ºC. When the
device temperature drops down by about 20ºC, the device
resumes normal operation.
External Components
The driver requires a total of four external 1µF
ceramic capacitors: two for decoupling input and
output, and two for the charge pump. Both capacitor
types X5R and X7R are recommended for the LED
driver application. In the 1.5x charge pump mode, the
input current ripple is kept very low by design, and an
input bypass capacitor of 1µF is sufficient. In 1x mode,
the device operating in linear mode does not introduce
switching noise back onto the supply.
Consecutive pulses should be separated by 300ns or
more. Pulsing frequencies from 5kHz up to 1MHz are
supported during dimming operations. When the EN is
held low for 1.5ms or more, the CAT3616 enters the
shutdown mode and draws “zero” current. When the
¯¯¯ or ENS
¯¯¯ has no
enable EN input is low, toggling ENM
effect.
Recommended Layout
In 1.5x charge pump mode, the driver switches
internally at a high frequency of 1MHz. It is
recommended to minimize trace length to all four
capacitors. 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
(GND) must be connected to the ground plane
underneath. The use of multiple via improves the
package heat dissipation.
Unused LED channels can be disabled independently
by connecting the corresponding main or sub LED pin
to VOUT.
Protection Mode
If an LED becomes open-circuit, the output voltage
VOUT is internally limited to about 5.5V. This is to
prevent the output pin from exceeding its absolute
maximum rating.

The common enable signal is set high to enable the
driver. On the first negative going pulse, the LEDs turn
full on. The pulse low state duration (between the
falling and rising edges) must be shorter than
0.5msec. Any consecutives pulses reduce the LED
current by 1mA. The enable signal is kept low for
more than 1.5msec to turn off all the LED channels
and set the driver in shutdown mode, as shown on
