DESCRIPTION
The LM3532 is a 500 kHz fixed frequency
asynchronous boost converter which provides the
power for 3 high-voltage, low-side current sinks. The
device is programmable over an I2C-compatible
interface and has independent current control for all
three channels. The adaptive current regulation
method allows for different LED currents in each
current sink thus allowing for a wide variety of
backlight + keypad applications.
The main features of the LM3532 include dual
ambient light sensor inputs each with 32 internal
voltage setting resistors, 8-bit logarithmic and linear
brightness control, dual external PWM brightness
control inputs, and up to 1000:1 dimming ratio with
programmable fade in and fade out settings.
The LM3532 is available in a 16-bump, 0.4mm pitch
thin DSBGA (1.745 mm x 1.845 mm x 0.6 mm). The
device operates over a 2.7V to 5.5V input voltage
range and the −40°C to +85°C temperature range.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

Absolute Maximum Ratings are limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings are conditions for which the
device is intended to be functional, but device parameter specifications may not be verified. For verified specifications and test
conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics table.
All voltages are with respect to the potential at the GND pin.
If Military/Aerospace specified devices are required, please contact the Texas Instruments Sales Office/ Distributors for availability and
specifications
For detailed soldering specifications and information, please refer to Application Note AN-1112: DSBGA Wafer Level Chip Scale

Absolute Maximum Ratings are limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings are conditions for which the
device is intended to be functional, but device parameter specifications may not be verified. For verified specifications and test
conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics table.
All voltages are with respect to the potential at the GND pin.
Internal thermal shutdown circuitry protects the device from permanent damage. Thermal shutdown engages at TJ=+140°C (typ.) and
disengages at TJ=+125°C (typ.).
In applications where high power dissipation and/or poor package thermal resistance is present, the maximum ambient temperature may
have to be derated. Maximum ambient temperature (TA-MAX) is dependent on the maximum operating junction temperature (TJ-MAX-OP =
+125°C), the maximum power dissipation of the device in the application (PD-MAX), and the junction-to ambient thermal resistance of the
part/package in the application (θJA), as given by the following equation: TA-MAX = TJ-MAX-OP – (θJA × PD-MAX).
THERMAL PROPERTIES
Thermal Resistance Junction to Ambient (TJA) (1)
(1)
61.3°C/W
Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) is taken from a thermal modeling result, performed under the conditions and guidelines set
forth in the JEDEC standard JESD51-7. The test board is a 4-layer FR-4 board measuring 102 mm x 76 mm x 1.6 mm with a 2 x 1 array
of thermal vias. The ground plane on the board is 50 mm x 50 mm. Thickness of copper layers are 36 µm/18 µm/18 µm/36 µm (1.5
oz/1oz/1oz/1.5 oz). Ambient temperature in simulation is 22°C in still air. Power dissipation is 1W. The value of θJA of this product in the
DSBGA package could fall in a range as wide as 60°C/W to 110°C/W (if not wider), depending on PCB material, layout, and
environmental conditions. In applications where high maximum power dissipation exists special care must be paid to thermal dissipation
issues.

All voltages are with respect to the potential at the GND pin.
Min and Max limits are verified by design, test, or statistical analysis. Typical numbers are not verified, but do represent the most likely
norm. Unless otherwise specified, conditions for typical specifications are: VIN = 3.6V and TA = +25°C.
All Current sinks for the matching spec are assigned to the same Control Bank.
LED current sink matching between ILED2 and ILED3 is given by taking the difference between either (ILED2 or ILED3) and the
average current between the two, and dividing by the average current between the two (ILED2/3 – ILED(AVE))/ILED(AVE). This
simplifies to (ILED2 – ILED3)/(ILED2 + ILED3). In this test, both ILED2 and ILED3 are assigned to Bank A.
SCL and SDA must be glitch-free in order for proper brightness control to be realized.

SNVS653D – JULY 2011 – REVISED JUNE 2013
OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION
40V Boost Converter
The LM3532 contains a 40V maximum output voltage, asynchronous boost converter with an integrated 250 mΩ
switch and three low-side current sinks. Each low-side current sink is independently programmable from 0 to 30
mA.
Hardware Enable Input
HWEN is the LM3532's global hardware enable input. This pin must be driven high to enable the device. HWEN
is a high-impedance input so cannot be left floating. Typically HWEN would be connected through a pullup
resistor to the logic supply voltage or driven high from a micro controller. Driving HWEN low will place the
LM3532 into a low-current shutdown state and force all the internal registers to their power on reset (POR)
states.
Feedback Enable
Each current sink can be set for feedback enable or feedback disable. When feedback is enabled, the boost
converter maintains at least 400 mV across each active current sink. This causes the boost output voltage
(VOUT) to raise up or down depending on how many LEDs are placed in series in the highest voltage string.
This ensures there is a minimum headroom voltage across each current sink. The potential drawback is that for
large differentials in LED counts between strings, the LED voltage can be drastically different causing the excess
voltage in the lower LED string to be dropped across its current sink. In situations where there are other voltage
sources available, or where the LED count is low enough to use VIN as the power source, the feedback can be
disabled on the specific current sink. This allows for the current sink to be active, but eliminates its control over
the boost output voltage (see Figure 27). In this situation care must be taken to ensure there is always at least
400 mV of headroom voltage across each active current sink to avoid the current from going out of regulation.
Control over the feedback enable/disable is programmable via the Feedback Enable Register (see Table 13).

LM3532 Current Sink Configuration
Control of the LM3532’s three current sinks is done by configuring the three internal control banks (Control A,
Control B, and Control C) (see Figure 28). Any of the current sinks (ILED1, ILED2, or ILED3) can be mapped to
any of the three control banks. Configuration of the control banks is done via the Output Configuration register.

PWM Inputs
The LM3532 provides two PWM inputs (PWM1 and PWM2) which can be mapped to any of the three Control
Banks. PWM input mapping is done through the Control A PWM Configuration register, the Control B PWM
Configuration register, and the Control C PWM Configuration register.
Both PWM inputs (PWM1 and PWM2) feed into internal level shifters and lowpass filters. This allows the PWM
inputs to accept logic level signals and convert them to analog control signals which can control the assigned
Control Banks LED current. The internal lowpass filter at each PWM input has a typical corner frequency of 540
Hz with a Q of 0.5. This gives a low end useful PWM frequency of around 2kHz. Frequencies lower then this will
cause the LED current to show larger ripple and result in non-linear behavior vs. duty cycle due to the response
time of the boost circuit. The upper boundary of the PWM frequency is greater than 100 kHz. Frequencies above
200 kHz will begin to show non linear behavior due to propagation delays through the PWM input circuitry.
Full-Scale LED Current
There are 32 programmable full-scale current settings for each of the three control banks (Control A, Control B,
and Control C). Each control bank has its own independent full-scale current setting (ILED_FULL_SCALE). Full-scale
current for the respective Control Bank is set via the Control A Full-Scale Current Register, the Control B FullScale Current Register, and the Control C Full-Scale Current Register (see Table 12).
LED Current Ramping
The LM3532 provides 4 methods to control the rate of rise or fall of the LED current during these events:
1. Startup from 0 to the initial target
2. Shutdown

3. Ramp up from one brightness level to the next
4. Ramp down from one brightness level to the next
See Table 4 and Table 5.
Startup and Shutdown Current Ramping
The startup and shutdown ramp rates are independently programmable in the startup/Shutdown Ramp Rate
Register (see Table 4). There are 8 different startup and 8 different shutdown ramp rates. The startup ramp rates
are independently programmable from the shutdown ramp rates, but not independently programmable for each
Control Bank. For example, programming a startup or shutdown ramp rate, programs the same ramp rate for
each Control Bank.
Run Time Ramp Rates
Current ramping from one brightness level to the next is programmed via the Run Time Ramp Rate Register (see
Table 5). There are 8 different ramp-up and 8 different ramp-down rates. The ramp-up rate is independently
programmable from the ramp-down rate, but not independently programmable for each Control Bank. For
example, programming a ramp-up or a ramp-down rate programs the same rate for each Control Bank.
LED Current Mapping Modes
All LED current brightness codes are 8 bits (256 different levels), where each bit represents a percentage of the
programmed full-scale current setting for that particular Control Bank. The percentage of the full-scale current is
different depending on which mapping mode is selected. The mapping mode can be either exponential or linear.
Mapping mode is selected via bit [1] of the Control A, B, or C Brightness Configuration Registers.
Exponential Current Mapping Mode
In exponential mapping mode, the backlight code to LED current approximates the following equation:

LED Current Control
Once the Full-Scale Current is set, control of the LM3532’s LED current can be done via 2 methods:
1. I2C Current Control
2. Ambient Light Sensor Current Control
I2C current control allows for the direct control of the LED current by writing directly to the specific brightness
register. In ambient light sensor current control the LED current is automatically set by the ambient light sensor
interface.
I2C Current Control
I2C Current Control is accomplished by using one of the Zone Target Registers (for the respective Control Bank)
as the brightness register. This is done via bits[4:2] of the Control (A, B, or C) Brightness Registers (see Table 9,
Table 10, and Table 11). For example, programming bits[4:2] of the Control A Brightness Register with (000)
makes the brightness register for Bank A (in I2C Current Control) the Control A Zone Target 0 Register.
I2C Current Control with PWM
I2C Current Control can also incorporate the PWM duty cycle at one of the PWM inputs (PWM1 or PWM2). In
this situation the LED current is then a function of both the code in the programmed brightness register and the
duty cycle input into the assigned PWM inputs (PWM1 or PWM2).
Assigning and Enabling a PWM Input
To make the backlight current a function of the PWM input duty cycle, one of the PWM inputs must first be
assigned to a particular Control Bank. This is done via bit [0] of the Control A, B, or C PWM Registers (see
Table 6, Table 7, or Table 8). After assigning a PWM input to a Control Bank, the PWM input is then enabled via
bits [6:2] of the Control A/B/C PWM Enable Registers. Each enable bit is associated with a specific Zone Target
Register in I2C Current Control. For example, if Control A Zone Target 0 Register is configured as the brightness
register, then to enable PWM for that brightness register, Control A PWM bit [2] would be set to 1.

Ambient Light Sensor Current Control
In Ambient Light Sensor (ALS) Current Control the LM3532’s backlight current is automatically set based upon
the voltage at the ambient light sensor inputs (ALS1 and/or ALS2). These inputs are designed to connect to the
outputs of analog ambient light sensors. Each ALS input has an active input voltage range of 0 to 2V.
ALS Light Sensor Resistors
The LM3532 offers 32 separate programmable internal resistors at the ALS1 and ALS2 inputs. These resistors
take the ambient light sensor's output current and convert it into a voltage. The value of the resistor selected is
typically chosen such that the ambient light sensors output voltage swing goes from 0 to 2V across the intended
measured ambient light (LUX) range. The ALS resistor values are programmed via the ALS1 and ALS2 Resistor
select registers (see Table 15). The code to resistor selection (assuming a 2V full-scale voltage range) is shown
in the following equation:
RALS_ =
2V
u Code
54 PA
(3)
Each higher code in the specific ALS Resistor Select Register increases the allowed ALS sensor current by 54
µA ( for a 2V full-scale). When the ALS is disabled (ALS Configuration Register bit [3] = 0) the ALS inputs are set
to a high impedance mode no matter what the ALS resistor selection is. Alternatively, ALS Resistor Select
Register Code 00000 will set the specific ALS input to high impedance.
Ambient Light Zone Boundaries
The LM3532 provides 5 ambient light brightness zones which are defined by 4 Zone Boundary Registers. The
LM3532 has one set of zone boundary registers that is shared globally by all Control Banks. As the voltage at
the ALS input changes in response to the ambient light sensors received light, the ALS voltage transitions
through the 5 defined brightness zones. Each brightness zone can be assigned a brightness target via the 5
Zone Target registers. Each Control Bank has its own set of Zone Target registers. Therefore, in response to
changes in a Brightness Zone at the ALS input, the LED current can transition to a new brightness level. This
allows for backlit LCD displays to reduce the LED Current when the ambient light is dim or increase the LED
current when the ambient light increases. Each Zone Boundary register is 8 bits with a full-scale voltage of 2V.
This gives a 2V/255 = 7.8 mV per bit. Figure 31 describes the ambient light to brightness mapping.

Ambient Light Zone Hysteresis
For each Zone Boundary there are two Zone Boundary Registers: a Zone Boundary High Register and a Zone
Boundary Low Register. The difference between the Zone Boundary High and Zone Boundary Low Register set
points (for a specific zone) creates the hysteresis that is required to transition between two adjacent zones. This
hysteresis prevents the backlight current from oscillating between zones when the ALS voltage is close to a Zone
Boundary Threshold. Figure 32 describes this Zone Boundary Hysteresis. The arrows indicate the direction of the
ALS input voltage. The black dots indicate the threshold used when transitioning to a new zone.

The active PWM input for a specified Control Bank can be enabled/disabled for each ALS Brightness Zone. This

For example, assuming Control Bank A is being used, then to make the PWM input active in Zones 0, 2, and 4,
but not active in Zones 1, and 3, bits[6:2] of the Control A PWM Register would be set to (1, 0, 1, 0, 1).

ALS Input Select and ALS ADC Input
The internal 8-bit ADC digitizes the active ambient light sensor inputs (ALS1 or ALS2). The active ALS input is
determined by the bit settings of the ALS input select bits, bits [7:6] in the ALS Configuration register. The active
ALS input can be the average of ALS1 and ALS2, the maximum of ALS1 and ALS2, ALS1 only, or ALS2 only.
Once the ALS input select stage selects the active ALS input, the result is sent to the internal 8-bit ADC. For
example, if the active ALS input select is set to be the average of ALS1 and ALS2, then the voltage at ALS1 and
ALS2 is first averaged, then applied to the ADC. The output of the ADC (ADC Register) will be the digitized
average value of ALS1 and ALS2.
The LM3532's internal ADC samples at 7.143 ksps. ADC timing is shown in Figure 34. When the ALS is Enabled
(ALS Configuration Register bit [3] = 1) the ADC begins sampling and converting the active ALS input. Each
conversion takes 140 µs. After each conversion the ADC register is updated with new data.

ALS ADC Readback
The digitized value of the LM3532's ADC is read back from the ADC Readback Register. Once the ALS is
enabled the ADC begins converting the active ALS input and updating the ALS Readback Register every 140 µs.
The ADC Readback register contains the updated data after each conversion.
ALS Averaging
ALS averaging is used to filter out any fast changes in the ambient light sensor inputs. This prevents the
backlight current from constantly changing due to rapid fluctuations in the ambient light. There are 8 separate
averaging periods available for the ALS inputs (see Table 17). During an average period the ADC continually
samples at 7.143 ksps. Therefore, during an average period, the ALS Averager output will be the average of
7143/tAVE.
ALS ADC Average Readback
The output of the LM3532's averager is read back via the Average ADC Register. This data is the ADC register
data, averaged over the programmed ALS average time.
Initializing the ALS
On initial startup of the ALS Block, the Ambient Light Zone will default to Zone 0. This allows the ALS to start off
in a predictable state. The drawback is that Zone 0 is often not representative of the true ALS Brightness Zone
since the ALS inputs can get to their ambient light representative voltage much faster then the backlight is
allowed to change. In order to avoid a multiple average time wait for the backlight current to get to its correct
state, the LM3532 switches over to a fast average period (1.1 ms) on ALS startup. This will quickly bring the ALS
Brightness Zone (and the backlight current) to its correct setting (see Figure 35).

must have shown an increase for 3 consecutive average periods, or an increase and a remain at the new
zone for 3 consecutive average periods.
For the ALS Interface to force a change in the backlight current (to a lower zone target), the averager output
must have shown a decrease for 3 consecutive average periods, or a decrease and remain at the new zone
for 3 consecutive average periods.
If condition #1 or #2 is satisfied, and during the next average period, the averager output changes again in
the same direction as the last change, the LED current will immediately change at the beginning of the next
average period.
If condition #1 or #2 is satisfied and the next average period shows no change in the average zone, or shows
a change in the opposite direction, then the criteria in step #1 or #2 must be satisfied again before the ALS
interface can force a change in the backlight current.
The Averager Output (see Figure 33) contains the zone that is determined from the most recent full average
period.
The ALS Interface only forces a change in the backlight current at the beginning of an average period.
When the ALS forces a change in the backlight current the change will be to the brightness target pointed to
by the zone in the Averager Output.
Direct ALS Control
In direct ALS control the LM3532’s ALS Interface can force the backlight current to either a higher zone target or
a lower zone target using the rules described in the ALS Rules Section.
In the example of Figure 36 the plot shows the ALS voltage, the current average zone which is the zone
determined by averaging the ALS voltage in the current average period, the Averager Output which is the zone
determined from the previous full average period, and the target backlight current that is controlled by the ALS
Interface. The following steps detail the Direct ALS algorithm:
1. When the ALS is enabled the ALS fast startup (1.1ms average period) quickly brings the Averager Output to
the correct zone. This takes 3 fast average periods or approximately 3.3ms.
2. The 1st average period the ALS voltage averages to Zone 4.
3. The 2nd average period the ALS voltage averages to Zone 3.
4. The 3rd average period the ALS voltage averages to Zone 3 and the Averager Output shows a change from
Zone 4 to Zone 3.
5. The 4th average period the ALS voltage averages to Zone 2 and the Averager Output remains at its changed
state of Zone 3.
6. The 5th average period the ALS voltage averages to Zone 1. The Averager Output shows a change from
Zone 3 to Zone 2. Since this is the 3rd average period that the Averager Output has shown a change in the
decreasing direction from the initial Zone 4, the backlight current is forced to change to the current Averager
Output (Zone 2's) target current.
7. The 6th average period the ALS voltage averages to Zone 2. The Averager Output changes from Zone 2 to
Zone 1. Since this is in the same direction as the previous change, the backlight current is forced to change
to the current Averager Output (Zone 1's) target current.
8. The 7th average period the ALS voltage averages to Zone 3. The Averager Output changes from Zone 1 to
Zone 2. Since this change is in the opposite direction from the previous change, the backlight current
remains at Zone 1's target.

Down Delay
The Down-Delay algorithm uses all the same rules from the ALS Rules section, except it provides for adding
additional average period delays required for decreasing transitions of the Averager Output, before the LED
current is programmed to a lower zone target current. The additional average period delays are programmed via
the ALS Down Delay register. The register provides 32 settings for increasing the down delay from 3 extra (code
00000) up to 34 extra (code 11111). For example, if the down delay algorithm is enabled, and the ALS Down
Delay register were programmed with 0x00 (3 extra delays), then the Averager Output would need to see 6
consecutive changes in decreasing Zones (or 6 consecutive average periods that changed and remained lower),
before the backlight current was programmed to the lower zones target current. Referring to Figure 37, assume
that Down Delay is enabled and the ALS Down Delay register is programmed with 0x02 (5 extra delays, 8
average period total delay for downward changes in the backlight target current):
1. When the ALS is enabled the ALS fast startup (1.1 ms average period) quickly brings the Averager Output to
the correct zone. This takes 3 fast average periods or approximately 3.3 ms.
2. The first average period the ALS averages to Zone 3.
3. The second average period the ALS averages to Zone 2. The Averager Output remains at Zone 3.
4. The 3rd through 7th average period the ALS input averages to Zone 2, and the Averager Output stays at
Zone 2.
5. The 8th average period the ALS input averages to Zone 4. The Averager Output remains at Zone 2.
6. The 9th and 10th average periods the ALS input averages to Zone 4. The Averager Output is at Zone 4.
Since the Averager Output increased from Zone 2 to Zone 4 and the required Down Delay time was not met
(8 average periods), the backlight current was never changed to the Zone 2's target current.
7. The 11th average period the ALS input averages to Zone 2. The Averager Output remains at Zone 4. Since
this is the 3rd consecutive average period where the Averager Output has shown a change since the change
from Zone 2, the backlight current transitions to Zone 4's target current.
8. The 12th through 26th average periods the ALS input averages to Zone 2. The Averager Output remains at
Zone 2. At the start of average period #20 the Down Delay algorithm has shown the required 8 average
period delay from the initial change from Zone 4 to Zone 2. As a result the backlight current is programmed
to Zone 2's target current.

Interrupt Output
INT is an open drain output that pulls low when the ALS is enabled and when one of the ALS inputs transitions
into a new zone. At the same time, the ALS Zone Information register is updated with the current ALS zone, and
the software flag (bit 3 of the ALS Zone Information register) is written high. A readback of the Zone Information
Register will clear the software interrupt flag and reset the INT output to the open drain state. The active
pulldown at INT is typically 125Ω.

Protection Features
Overvoltage Protection
The LM3532’s boost converter provides open-load protection, by monitoring the OVP pin. The OVP pin is
designed to connect as close as possible to the positive terminal of the output capacitor. In the event of a
disconnected load (LED current string with feedback enabled), the output voltage will rise in order to try and
maintain the correct headroom across the feedback enabled current sinks (see Table 13). Once VOUT climbs to
the OVP threshold (VOVP) the boost converter is turned off, and switching will stop until VOUT falls below the
OVP hysteresis (VOVP – 1V). Once the OVP hysteresis is crossed the LM3532’s boost converter begins switching
again. In open load conditions this would result in a pulsed on/off operation.
Current Limit
The LM3532’s peak current limit in the NFET is set at typically 1A (880 mA min.). During the positive portion of
the switching cycle, if the NFET's current rises up to the current limit threshold, the NFET turns off for the rest of
the switching cycle. At the start of the next switching cycle the NFET turns on again. For loads that cause the
LM3532 to hit current limit each switching cycle, the output power can become clamped since the headroom
across the feedback enabled current sinks is no longer being regulated when the device is in current limit. See
Maximum Output Power below for guidelines on how peak current affects the LM3532's maximum output power.
Maximum Output Power
The LM3532's maximum output power is governed by two factors: the peak current limit (ICL = 880 mA min.), and
the maximum output voltage (VOVP = 40V min.). When the application causes either of these limits to be reached
it is possible that the proper current regulation and matching between LED current strings will not be met.
Peak Current Limited
In the case of a peak current limited situation, when the peak of the inductor current hits the LM3532's current
limit the NFET switch turns off for the remainder of the switching period. If this happens, each switching cycle the
LM3532 begins to regulate the peak of the inductor current instead of the headroom across the current sinks.
This can result in the dropout of the feedback-enabled current sinks and the current dropping below its
programmed level.
The peak current in a boost converter is dependent on the value of the inductor, total LED current (IOUT), the
output voltage (VOUT) (which is the highest voltage LED string + 0.4V regulated headroom voltage), the input
voltage VIN, and the efficiency (Output Power/Input Power). Additionally, the peak current is different depending
on whether the inductor current is continuous during the entire switching period (CCM) or discontinuous (DCM)
where it goes to 0 before the switching period ends.
For Continuous Conduction Mode the peak inductor current is given by:
IPEAK =
VIN x efficiency
VIN
IOUT x VOUT
x 1+
VOUT
2 x fsw x L
VIN x efficiency
(4)
For Discontinuous Conduction Mode the peak inductor current is given by:
IPEAK =
2 x IOUT
fsw x L x efficiency
x VOUT - VIN x efficiency
(5)
To determine which mode the circuit is operating in (CCM or DCM) it is necessary to perform a calculation to test
whether the inductor current ripple is less than the anticipated input current (IIN). If ΔIL is < then IIN then the
device will be operating in CCM. If ΔIL is > IIN then the device is operating in DCM.
VIN x efficiency
VIN
IOUT x VOUT
x 1>
VOUT
VIN x efficiency fsw x L
(6)
Typically at currents high enough to reach the LM3532's peak current limit, the device will be operating in CCM.

The following figures show the output current and voltage derating for a 10 µH and a 22 µH inductor. These plots
take Equation 4 and Equation 5 from above and plot VOUT and IOUT with varying VIN, a constant peak current
of 880 mA (ICL min), and a constant efficiency of 85%. Using these curves can give a good design guideline on
selecting the correct inductor for a given output power requirement. A 10 µH will typically be a smaller device
with lower on resistance, but the peak currents will be higher. A 22 µH provides for lower peak currents, but to
match the DC resistance of a 10 µH requires a larger sized device.

Output Voltage Limited
When the LM3532's output voltage (highest voltage LED string + 400 mV headroom voltage) reaches 40V, the
OVP threshold is hit, and the NFET turns off and remains off until the output voltage drops 1V below the OVP
threshold. Once VOUT falls below this hysteresis, the boost converter will turn on again. In high output voltage
situations the LM3532 will begin to regulate the output voltage to the VOVP level instead of the current sink
headroom voltage. This can result in a loss of headroom voltage across the feedback enabled current sinks
resulting in the LED current dropping below its programmed level.

I2C-Compatible Interface
START AND STOP Conditions
The LM3532 is controlled via an I2C-compatible interface. START and STOP conditions classify the beginning
and the end of the I2C session. A START condition is defined as SDA transitioning from HIGH-to-LOW while SCL
is HIGH. A STOP condition is defined as SDA transitioning from LOW-to-HIGH while SCL is HIGH. The I2C
master always generates the START and STOP conditions. The I2C bus is considered busy after a START
condition and free after a STOP condition. During data transmission, the I2C master can generate repeated
START conditions. A START and a repeated START conditions are equivalent function-wise. The data on SDA
must be stable during the HIGH period of the clock signal (SCL). In other words, the state of SDA can only be
changed when SCL is LOW.

I2C-Compatible Address
The 7-bit chip address for the LM3532 is (0x38) . After the START condition, the I2C master sends the 7-bit chip
address followed by an eighth bit (LSB) read or write (R/W). R/W = 0 indicates a WRITE and R/W = 1 indicates a
READ. The second byte following the chip address selects the register address to which the data will be written.
The third byte contains the data for the selected register.

Transferring Data
Every byte on the SDA line must be eight bits long, with the most significant bit (MSB) transferred first. Each byte
of data must be followed by an acknowledge bit (ACK). The acknowledge related clock pulse (9th clock pulse) is
generated by the master. The master then releases SDA (HIGH) during the 9th clock pulse. The LM3532 pulls
down SDA during the 9th clock pulse, signifying an acknowledge. An acknowledge is generated after each byte
has been received.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Inductor Selection
The LM3532 is designed to work with a 10 µH to 22 µH inductor. When selecting the inductor, ensure that the
saturation rating is high enough to accommodate the applications peak inductor current . The inductance value
must also be large enough so that the peak inductor current is kept below the LM3532's switch current limit. See
the Maximum Output Power Section for more details. Table 20 lists various inductors that can be used with the
LM3532. The inductors with higher saturation currents are more suitable for applications with higher output
currents or voltages (multiple strings). The smaller devices are geared toward single string applications with
lower series LED counts.

Capacitor Selection
The LM3532’s output capacitor has two functions: filtering of the boost converter's switching ripple, and to ensure
feedback loop stability. As a filter, the output capacitor supplies the LED current during the boost converter's on
time and absorbs the inductor's energy during the switch's off time. This causes a sag in the output voltage
during the on time and a rise in the output voltage during the off time. Because of this, the output capacitor must
be sized large enough to filter the inductor current ripple that could cause the output voltage ripple to become
excessive. As a feedback loop component, the output capacitor must be at least 1µF and have low ESR;
otherwise, the LM3532's boost converter can become unstable. This requires the use of ceramic output
capacitors. Table 21 lists part numbers and voltage ratings for different output capacitors that can be used with
the LM3532.

Layout Guidelines
The LM3532 contains an inductive boost converter which sees a high switched voltage (up to 40V) at the SW
pin, and a step current (up to 1A) through the Schottky diode and output capacitor each switching cycle. The high
switching voltage can create interference into nearby nodes due to electric field coupling (I = CdV/dt). The large
step current through the diode, and the output capacitor can cause a large voltage spike at the SW pin and the
OVP pin due to parasitic inductance in the step current conducting path (V = LdI/dt). Board layout guidelines are
geared towards minimizing this electric field coupling and conducted noise. Figure 44 highlights these two noise
generating components.

SNVS653D – JULY 2011 – REVISED JUNE 2013
Output Capacitor Placement
The output capacitor is in the path of the inductor current discharge current. As a result, COUT sees a high current
step from 0 to IPEAK each time the switch turns off and the Schottky diode turns on. Typical turn-off/turn-on times
are around 5ns. Any inductance along this series path from the cathode of the diode through COUT and back into
the LM3532's GND pin will contribute to voltage spikes (VSPIKE = LPX × dI/dt) at SW and OUT which can
potentially over-voltage the SW pin, or feed through to GND. To avoid this, COUT+ must be connected as close as
possible to the Cathode of the Schottky diode and COUT− must be connected as close as possible to the
LM3532's GND bump. The best placement for COUT is on the same layer as the LM3532 so as to avoid any vias
that will add extra series inductance (see Example Layouts).
Schottky Diode Placement
The Schottky diode is in the path of the inductor current discharge. As a result the Schottky diode sees a high
current step from 0 to IPEAK each time the switch turns off and the diode turns on. Any inductance in series with
the diode will cause a voltage spike (VSPIKE = LPX × dI/dt) at SW and OUT which can potentially over-voltage the
SW pin, or feed through to VOUT and through the output capacitor and into GND. Connecting the anode of the
diode as close as possible to the SW pin and the cathode of the diode as close as possible to COUT+ will
reduce the inductance (LPX) and minimize these voltage spikes (See Example Layouts).
Inductor Placement
The node where the inductor connects to the LM3532’s SW bump has 2 issues. First, a large switched voltage (0
to VOUT + VF_SCHOTTKY) appears on this node every switching cycle. This switched voltage can be capacitively
coupled into nearby nodes. Second, there is a relatively large current (input current) on the traces connecting the
input supply to the inductor and connecting the inductor to the SW bump. Any resistance in this path can cause
large voltage drops that will negatively affect efficiency.
To reduce the capacitively coupled signal from SW into nearby traces, the SW bump to inductor connection must
be minimized in area. This limits the PCB capacitance from SW to other traces. Additionally, other nodes need to
be routed away from SW and not directly beneath. This is especially true for high impedance nodes that are
more susceptible to capacitive coupling such as (SCL, SDA, HWEN, PWM, and possibly ASL1 and ALS2). A
GND plane placed directly below SW will help isolate SW and dramatically reduce the capacitance from SW into
nearby traces.
To limit the trace resistance of the VBATT to inductor connection and from the inductor to SW connection, use
short, wide traces (see Example Layouts).
Input Capacitor Selection and Placement
The input bypass capacitor filters the inductor current ripple, and the internal MOSFET driver currents during turn
on of the power switch.
The driver current requirement can be a few hundred mA's with 5ns rise and fall times. This will appear as high
dI/dt current pulses coming from the input capacitor each time the switch turns on. Close placement of the input
capacitor to the IN pin and to the GND pin is critical since any series inductance between IN and CIN+ or CIN−
and GND can create voltage spikes that could appear on the VIN supply line and in the GND plane.
Close placement of the input bypass capacitor at the input side of the inductor is also critical. The source
impedance (inductance and resistance) from the input supply, along with the input capacitor of the LM3532, form
a series RLC circuit. If the output resistance from the source (RS) is low enough the circuit will be underdamped
and will have a resonant frequency (typically the case). Depending on the size of LS the resonant frequency
could occur below, close to, or above the LM3532's switching frequency. This can cause the supply current ripple
to be:
• Approximately equal to the inductor current ripple when the resonant frequency occurs well above the
LM3532's switching frequency;
• Greater then the inductor current ripple when the resonant frequency occurs near the switching frequency; or
• Less then the inductor current ripple when the resonant frequency occurs well below the switching frequency.
Figure 45 shows this series RLC circuit formed from the output impedance of the supply and the input capacitor.
The circuit is re-drawn for the AC case where the VIN supply is replaced with a short to GND and the LM3532 +
Inductor is replaced with a current source (ΔIL).

Equation 1 is the criteria for an underdamped response. Equation 2 is the resonant frequency. Equation 3 is the
approximated supply current ripple as a function of LS, RS, and CIN.
As an example, consider a 3.6V supply with 0.1Ω of series resistance connected to CIN through 50 nH of
connecting traces. This results in an underdamped input filter circuit with a resonant frequency of 712 kHz. Since
the switching frequency lies near to the resonant frequency of the input RLC network, the supply current is
probably larger then the inductor current ripple. In this case, using equation 3 from Figure 45, the supply current
ripple can be approximated as 1.68 times the inductor current ripple. Increasing the series inductance (LS) to 500
nH causes the resonant frequency to move to around 225 kHz and the supply current ripple to be approximately
0.25 times the inductor current ripple.
