LINEAR INTEGRATED CIRCUIT
WHITE LED STEP-UP
CONVERTER
„
DESCRIPTION
The UTC L5101 is a constant current step-up PWM DC/DC
converter optimized to drive white LEDs. It can drive LEDs in series
with a Li-Ion cell.
The switching frequency of the internal NPN is up to 1.2MHz.
High frequency allows the use of tiny external components and the
current setting resistor has minimum power dissipation for the low
feedback voltage of 95mV. The built-in OVP prevents the UTC
L5101 damage from the open load condition.
Series connection of LEDs provides identical LED currents which
contributes to uniform brightness, saving the use of ballast
resistors.
The UTC L5101 is universally used in cellular phones, PDAs ,
DSCs, handheld devices, and white LED display backlighting.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Recommended Component Selection
* Inductor Selection: A 10μH inductor is recommended for most applications.
* Capacitor Selection: The small size of ceramic capacitor makes it ideal for UTC L5101 applications, X5R and X7R
types are recommended because of their stable characteristics, 1μF input capacitor with 1μF
output capacitor is sufficient for most UTC L5101 applications.
* Diode Selection: Schottky diode, for its low forward voltage drop and fast reverse recovery, is an ideal choice for
the UTC L5101 diode. A Schottky diode rated 100mA to 200mA is sufficient for most UTC L5101
applications, and the higher current rating usually have larger diode capacitance which can
cause significant switching losses at the 1.2MHz switching frequency.
LED Current Control
A feedback resistor (precision 1% recommended) as feedback resistor control the LED current. (RFB in Figure 1)
* Feedback reference voltage: 95mV.
* LED current is 95mV/RFB.
* The formula for RFB selection: RFB=95mV/ILED
Open-Circuit Protection
The OVP(Over Voltage Protection) protects the voltage lower than its maximum level under the open circuit
condition, which is caused by the failure or disconnection of the LEDs. The above undesired fault conditions will
cause the feedback voltage falling to 0V, then the UTC L5101 increases duty circle resulting in a high voltage in SW
pin.
