EUP2794
White LED Driver with 1X /1.5X
High-Efficiency Charge Pump
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The EUP2794 is a low noise, constant frequency
charge pump that uses a dual mode load switch (1X)
and fractional (1.5X) conversion to maximize
efficiency for white LED applications. The EUP2794
delivers up to 80mA of load current and provides four
regulated current sources, each capable of driving up to
20mA through white LEDs. All LED pin currents are
regulated, constant and tightly matched to achieve
uniformity of brightness across the LCD backlight. The
switching frequency is 900kHz.(typ.) to keep the
conducted noise spectrum away from sensitive
frequencies within portable RF devices.
An external resistor (RSET) sets the current in each of
the LED outputs. In addition, brightness can be
controlled by both linear and PWM techniques. An
analog voltage between 0V and 3.0V may be applied to
the BRGT pin to linearly vary the LED current. By
adjusting current with BRGT pin , the brightness of the
LEDs can be smoothly varied. Alternatively, a PWM
digital signal can be applied to the SD pin to vary the
perceived brightness of the LED.
The EUP2794 is available in a 16-pin 3mm × 3mm
QFN package.

Application Information
Capacitor Selection
The EUP2794 requires 4 external capacitors for
proper operation. Surface-mount multi-layer ceramic
capacitors are recommended. These capacitors are
small, inexpensive and have very low equivalent
series resistance (ESR, ≒15mΩ. typ.). Tantalum
capacitors, OS-CON capacitors, and aluminum
electrolytic capacitors are generally not recommended
for use with the EUP2794 due to their high ESR, as
compared to ceramic capacitors. For most
applications, ceramic capacitors with X7R or X5R
temperature characteristic are preferred for use with
the EUP2794. These capacitors have tight capacitance
tolerance (as good as ±10%), hold their value over
temperature (X7R: ±15% over -55°C to 125°C; X5R:
±15% over -55°C to 85°C), and typically have little
voltage coefficient.
Circuit Description
The EUP2794 has four regulated current sources
connected to the device’s 1.5x charge pump output
(POUT). At input voltages below 3.82V (typ.), the
charge-pump provides the needed voltage to drive
high forward voltage drop White LEDs. It does this
by stepping up the POUT voltage 1.5 times the input
voltage. The charge pump operates in Pass Mode,
providing a voltage on POUT equal to the input voltage,
when the input voltage is at or above 3.82V (typ.).
The device can drive up to 80mA through any
combination of LEDs connected to the constant
current outputs D1-D4. To set the LED drive current,
the device uses a resistor connected to the ISET pin to
set a reference current. This reference current is then
multiplied and mirrored to each constant current
output. The LED brightness can then be controlled by
analog and/or digital methods. Applying an analog
voltage in the range of 0V to 3.0V to the Brightness
pin (BRGT) adjusts the dimming profile of the LEDs.
The digital technique uses a PWM (Pulse Width
Modulation) signal applied to the Shutdown pin (SD).
(see ISET and BRGT PINS section).
ISET and BRGT Pins
An external resistor, RSET, is connected to the ISET pin
to set the current to be mirrored in each of the LED
outputs. The internal current mirror sets each LED
output current with a 10:1 ratio to the current through
RSET. The current mirror circuitry matches the current
through each LED to within 0.6%.
In addition to RSET, a voltage may be applied to the
VBRGT in to vary the LED current. By adjusting
current with the Brightness pin (BRGT), the
brightness of the LEDs can be smoothly varied.
Applying a voltage on BRGT between 0 to 3 volts
will linearly vary the LED current. Voltages above
3V do not increase the LED current any further. The
voltage on the VBRGT pin is fed into an internal
resistor network with a ratio of 0.385. The resulting
voltage is then summed with a measured offset
voltage of 0.188V, which comes from the reference
voltage being fed through a resistor network (See
Functional Block Diagram). The brightness control
circuitry then uses the summed voltage to control the
voltage across RSET. An equation for approximating
the LED current is:
Soft-Start
Soft start is implemented internally by limiting the
current flow through the charge pump switches.
During soft start, the input current and LED current
will ramp up slowly and avoid current inrush.
Shutdown Mode
The shutdown pin (SD) disables the part and reduces
the quiescent current less than 1µA (typ.).The
EUP2794 has an active-low shutdown pin (LOW =
shutdown, HIGH = operating). The EUP2794 SD pin
can be driven with a low-voltage CMOS logic signal
(1.5V logic, 1.8V logic, etc). There is no internal
pull-up or pull-down on the SD pin of the EUP2794.

ILED Current Selection Procedures
The following procedures illustrate how to set and
adjust output current levels. For constant brightness
or analog brightness control, go to “Brightness
control using BRGT”. Otherwise refer to “Brightness
control using PWM”.

2. Determine the maximum desired ILED current.
Use the ILED equation to calculate RSET by setting
BRGT to 0V or use Table 1 to select a value for
RSET when BRGT equals 0V.
3. Brightness control can be implemented by
pulsing a signal at the SD pin. LED brightness is
proportional to the duty cycle (D) of the PWM
signal. For linear brightness control over the full
duty cycle adjustment range, the PWM frequency
(f) should be limited to accommodate the turn-on
time (TON = 100µs) of the device.

If the PWM frequency is much less than 100Hz,
flicker may be seen in the LEDs. For the EUP2794,
zero duty cycle will turn off the LEDs and a 50%
duty cycle will result in an average ILED being half of
the programmed LED current. For example, if RSET is
set to program 15mA, a 50% duty cycle will result in
an average ILED of 7.5mA.
Brightness Control Using BRGT
1. Choose the maximum ILED desired and determine
the max voltage to be applied to the BRGT pin.
For constant brightness, set BRGT to a fixed
voltage between 0V to 3V.
2. Use Table 1 to determine the value of RSET
required or use the ILED equation above to
calculate RSET.
3. Use Table 2 as a reference for the dimming
profile of the LEDs, when BRGT ranges from 0V
to 3V

Charge Pump Output (POUT)
The EUP2794 charge pump is an unregulated
switched capacitor converter with a gain of 1.5. The
voltage at the output of the pump (the POUT pin) is
nominally 1.5 × VIN. This rail can be used to deliver
additional current to other circuitry. A ballast resistor
sets the current through each LED, and LED current
matching is dependent on the LED forward voltage
matching. Because of this, LEDs driven by POUT are
recommended for functions where brightness
matching is not critical, such as keypad backlighting.

EUP2794
LED Headroom Voltage (VHR)
Four current sources are connected internally between
POUT and D1-D4. The voltage across each current
source, (VPOUT - VDX), is referred to as headroom
voltage (VHR). The current sources require a sufficient
amount of headroom voltage to be present across
them in order to regulate properly. Minimum required
headroom voltage is proportional to the current
flowing through the current source, as dictated by the
equation:
Output Current Capability
The primary constraint on the total current capability
is the headroom voltage requirement of the internal
current sources. Combining the VPOUT and VHR
equations from the previous two sections yields the
basic inequality for determining the validity of an
EUP2794 LED-drive application:
VPOUT = 1.5 × VIN − I TOTAL × R OUT
VHR − MIN = k HR × I DX
VHR - M IN = k HR * I DX
VPOUT − VDX ≥ VHR − MIN
1.5 × VIN − I TOTAL × R OUT − VDX ≥ (K HR × I DX )
The parameter kHR, typically 20mV/mA in the
EUP2794, is a proportionality constant that represents
the ON-resistance of the internal current mirror
transistors. For worst-case design calculations, using
a kHR of 25mV/Ma is recommended. (Worst-case
recommendation accounts for parameter shifts from
part-to-part variation and applies over the full
operating temperature range). Figure 4 shows how
output current of the EUP2794 varies with respect to
headroom voltage.
Rearranging this inequality shows the estimated total
output current capability of an application:
(1.5 × VIN − MIN ) − VDX − MAX − 
I TOTAL ≤ 
 ÷ R OUT
(K HR × I DX )

Examining the equation above, the primary limiting
factors on total output current capability are input and
LED forward voltage. A low input voltage combined
with a high LED voltage may result in insufficient
headroom voltage across the current sources, causing
them to fall out of regulation. When the current
sources are not regulated, LED currents will be below
desired levels and brightness matching will be highly
dependent on LED forward voltage matching.
Typical EUP2794 output resistance is 3.0Ω. For
worst-case design calculations, using an output
resistance of 3.5Ω is recommended . EUP2794 has a
typical kHR constant of 20mV/mA. For worst-case
design calculations, use kHR =25mV/mA. (Worst-case
recommendations account for parameter shifts from
part-to-part variation and apply over the full operating
temperature range). ROUT and kHR increase slightly
with temperature, but losses are typically offset by the
negative temperature coefficient properties of LED
forward voltages. Power dissipation and internal
self-heating may also limit output current capability
but is discussed in a later section.
Figure 4. ILED VS VHR 4 LEDs, VIN=3.0V
On the flat part of the graph, the currents regulate
properly as there is sufficient headroom voltage for
regulation. On the sloping part of the graph the
headroom voltage is too small, the current sources are
squeezed, and their current drive capability is limited
Changes in headroom voltage from one output to the
next, possible with LED forward voltage mismatch,
will result in different output currents and LED
brightness mismatch. Thus, operating the EUP2794
with insufficient headroom voltage across the current
sources should be avoided.

EUP2794
Connecting outputs in parallel does not affect internal
operation of the EUP2794 and has no impact on the
Electrical Characteristics and limits previously
presented. The available diode output current,
maximum diode voltage, and all other specifications
provided in the Electrical Characteristics table apply
to parallel output configurations, just as they do to the
standard 4-LED application circuit.
Parallel Dx Outputs for Increased Current Drive
Outputs D1 through D4 may be connected together in
any combination to drive higher currents through
fewer LEDs. For example in Figure 5, outputs D1 and
D2 are connected together to drive one LED while D3
and D4 are connected together to drive a second LED.
Thermal Protection
When the junction temperature exceeds 150°C (typ.),
the EUP2794 internal thermal protection circuitry
disables the part. This feature protects the device
from damage due to excessive power dissipation. The
device will recover and operate normally when the
junction temperature falls below 140°C (typ.). It is
important to have good thermal conduction with a
proper layout to reduce thermal resistance.
Power Efficiency
Figure 7 shows the efficiency of the EUP2794. The
change in efficiency shown by the graph comes from
the transition from Pass Mode to a gain of 1.5.
Efficiency (E) of the EUP2794 is defined here as the
ratio of the power consumed by LEDs (PLED) to the
power drawn from the input source (PIN). In the
equations below, IQ is the quiescent current of the
EUP2794, ILED is the current flowing through one
LED, VLED is the forward voltage at that LED current,
and N is the number of LEDs connected to the
regulated current outputs. In the input power
calculation, the 1.5 represents the switched capacitor
gain configuration of the EUP2794.
Figure 5. Two Parallel Connected LEDs
With this configuration, two parallel current sources
of equal value provide current to each LED. RSET and
VBRGT should therefore be chosen so that the current
through each output is programmed to 50% of the
desired current through the parallel connected LEDs.
For example, if 30mA is the desired drive current for
2 parallel connected LEDs , RSET and VBRGT should
be selected so that the current through each of the
outputs is 15mA. Other combinations of parallel
outputs may be implemented in similar fashions, such
as in Figure 6.
PLED = N × VLED × I LED
PIN = VIN × I IN
(
PIN = VIN × 1.5 × N × I LED + I Q
)
E = (PLED ÷ PIN )
Efficiency, as defined here, is in part dependent on
LED voltage. Variation in LED voltage does not
affect power consumed by the circuit and typically
does not relate to the brightness of the LED. For an
advanced analysis, it is recommended that power
consumed by the circuit (VIN x IIN) be evaluated
rather than power efficiency. Figure 8 shows the
power consumption of the EUP2794 Typical
Application Circuit.

EUP2794
Power Dissipation
The power dissipation (PDISSIPATION) and junction
temperature (TJ) can be approximated with the
equations below. PIN is the power generated by the
1.5x charge pump, PLED is the power consumed by the
LEDs, PPOUT is the power provided through the POUT
pin, TA is the ambient temperature, and θJA is the
junction-to-ambient thermal resistance for the
QFN-16 package. VIN is the input voltage to the
EUP2794, VDX is the LED forward voltage, IDX is the
programmed LED current, and IPOUT is the current
drawn through POUT.
PDISSIPATION = PIN − PLED − PPOUT
= [1.5 × VIN × (41DX + I POUT )] − (1.5 × VIN × I POUT )
TJ = TA + (PDISSIPATION × θ JA )
Figure 7. Efficiency vs VIN
4 LEDS, VLED=3.4V,ILED=15mA
The junction temperature rating takes precedence
over the ambient temperature rating. The EUP2794
may be operated outside the ambient temperature
rating, so long as the junction temperature of the
device does not exceed the maximum operating rating
of 100°C. The maximum ambient temperature rating
must be derated in applications where high power
dissipation and/or poor thermal resistance causes the
junction temperature to exceed 100°C.
