with the output of the error amplifier. If the error
comparator output is high, the flip-flop is reset and
the power switch turns off. Thus, the peak inductor
current level is controlled by the error amplifier
output, which is integrated from the difference
between FB input and the 1.24V reference point.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The ACT6311 is a high efficiency step-up DC/DC
converter that employs a current-mode, fixed
frequency pulse-width modulation (PWM)
architecture with excellent line and load regulation.
Figure 3 shows the functional block diagram of the
IC. The flip-flop is set at the start of each oscillator
cycle, and turns on the power switch. During this on
time, the switch current level is sensed and added
to a ramp signal, and the resulting sum is compared
Innovative PowerTM
The ACT6311 operates at a constant switching
frequency for output current higher than 4mA. If the
output current decreases further, the IC will enter
frequency modulation mode, resulting in some low
frequency ripple.

(MA)
The LED current is determined by the value of the
feedback resistor R1. Because the FB input of the
IC is regulated to 1.24V, the LED current is
determined by ILED = 1.24V/R1. The value of R1 for
different LED currents is shown in Table 3.

The ACT6311 only requires a 1µF input capcitor
and a 1µF output capacitor for most applications.
Ceramic capacitors are ideal for these applications.
For best performance, use X5R and X7R type
ceramic capacitors, which possess less degradation
in capacitance over voltage and temperature
ranges.

A 22µH inductor is typically used for the ACT6311.
The inductor should have low DC resistance (DCR)
and losses at 1MHz. See Table 1 for examples of
small size inductors.
To improve efficiency, resistors R2 and R3 can be
connected as shown in Figure 4 to lower the
effective feedback voltage.
The following are dimming control methods for the
ACT6311 series white LED application.
Diode Selection
1) PWM Signal Driving SHDN
The ACT6311 requires a fast recovery Schottky
diode as the rectifier. Select a low forward voltage
drop Schottky diode with a forward current (IF)
rating of 100mA to 200mA and a sufficient peak
repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM). Some suitable
Schottkky diodes are listed in Table 2.
When a PWM signal is connected to the SHDN pin,
the ACT6311 is turned on and off alternately under
the control of the PWM signal. The current through
the LEDs is either zero or full scale. By changing
the duty cycle of the PWM signal (typically 1kHz to
10kHz), a controlled average current is obtained.

Figure 5 shows an application in which a DC
voltage is used to adjust the LED current. The LED
current increases when VDC is lower than VFB and
decreases when VDC is higher than VFB. In Figure 5,
the LED current range of 15mA to 0mA is controlled
by VDC = 0V to 2V.

3) Filtered PWM Control
Figure 6 shows an application using a filtered PWM
signal to control dimming.
OLED Application
4) Logic Control
Figure 1 shows the feedback network necessary to
set the output voltage. Select the proper ratio of the
two feedback resistors R1 and R2 based on the
desired output voltage. Typically choose R1 = 20kΩ

A logic signal can be used to adjust the LED current
in a discrete step, as shown in Figure 7.

Start-up and Inrush Current
In order to facilitate quick startup, a soft-start circuit
is not incorporated into the ACT6311. When the IC
is first turned on with no external soft-start circuit,
the peak inrush current is about 400mA. Figure 8
shows an implementation for soft-start. When
soft-start and dimming controls are used
simultaneously, a low frequency PWM signal (less
than 10kHz) or the methods in Figures 5, 6 and 7
should be used.

If one of the LEDs is disconnected, the FB voltage
drops to zero and the IC switches at maximum duty
cycle. This results in a high voltage that may
exceed the SW voltage rating. To limit this voltage,
use a Zener diode as shown in Figure 9. The Zener
voltage must be large than the total forward voltage
of the LEDs and the current rating should be higher
than 0.1mA.

Board Layout
To reduce EMI, minimize the area and path length
of all traces connected to SW. Use a ground plane
under the switching regulator and connect R1
directly to the G pin of the IC.
