SM8131B
White LED Driver IC
OVERVIEW
The SM8131B is a charge pump DC/DC converter that switches between ×1 and ×1.5 automatically. The
SM8131B switches between ×1 and ×1.5 according to detected LED drive current, so that the battery life can
be prolonged to the fullest extent. Since the connected LED are all detected for the switching, the SM8131B
can respond to the variation of LED forward voltage. 6-channel of LED drive current control circuit is built-in,
the SM8131B can control 1 to 6 lights of white LED, which are connected in parallel. The LED drive current
per channel is set up by external resistor. Besides, by setting up SEL1/SEL2 pins, 6-channel of LED drive current control circuit can be divided to 2-groups, and input signal controlling of EN1/EN2 pins allow ON/OFF
and dimming per group.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
LED Drive Current Setting
The SM8131B LED drive current setting is controlled by the combination of resistance connected to ISET and
the EN input signals.
(1) Setting LED Drive Current using RSET
The maximum drive current per LED (when DATA = 1) is determined by the external resistance connected to
ISET. For example, if ILED MAX = 15mA, from the graph below, a resistance “RSET” of 15kΩ should be connected between ISET and GND. Note that while RSET can have a maximum resistance 50kΩ, the total LED
output current must not exceed the maximum output current of 120mA.

(2) Setting LED Drive Current using EN Input Signals
The EN input ENABLE/DISABLE circuit, also simultaneously counts the number of input pulses using an
internal counter and adjusts the LED drive current setting in response. The internal 4-bit counter provides 16step (DATA = 1 to 16) adjustment, where each step is 1/15th of the maximum current (ILED MAX) set by RSET.
On the 16th pulse (DATA = 16), the LED drive current control circuit shuts down. On the 17th pulse (DATA =
1), the LED drive current is reset to the maximum current value. As the current is set to the maximum value on
the first pulse, applications without pulse input can also be employed (by controlling brightness using RSET).

SM8131B
EN input signal and LED drive current setting (startup)
An internal startup signal goes HIGH on the first rising edge of either EN1 or EN2, and LED drive current
starts after the soft-start time expires. The LED drive current control circuit sets the current by counting the
input pulses on EN, hence the EN input voltage must be switched HIGH → LOW → HIGH the required number of data steps to reduce the current setting. When the desired setting is reached, the EN input voltage should
be tied HIGH to maintain the setting. Note that the LED drive current does not flow when EN is LOW between
pulses, momentarily switching the group of LEDs OFF.
The EN data input circuit operates during the soft-start time when no LED drive current flows, hence the current setting can be adjusted during the soft-start time and the LED drive circuit will then start at the desired current setting. However, setting the current using EN signal pulses is possible only when the power-ON reset
ends after a rising edge on the VIN supply. Consequently, a delay of 1ms or greater should be allowed after
VIN is applied before starting the EN input signals.

EN input signal and LED drive current setting
■
The LED drive current in group A (group B) is set by the number of EN1 (EN2) input signal rising-edge.
When either EN1 or EN2 input signal first rises, the internal enable signal CE goes HIGH, and the IC is
enabled. The LED drive current control circuit is disabled, and the LED drive current does not flow during
EN input signal LOW interval or at startup until after the soft-start time expires.

SM8131B
EN input signal and LED drive current setting (disable interval)
The LED drive current setting due to EN input is set by the 4-bit counter (16 steps). On the 17th pulse, the
counter DATA = 1 and the current is reset to the maximum current value. When the counter DATA = 16, ILED =
0mA and the LED drive circuit shuts down.

When both EN1 and EN2 are held LOW for an extended interval, the internal enable signal “CE” goes LOW
and the device enters power-save mode. In this mode, the EN input internal counter is reset and subsequent rising-edge pulses on EN restart the counter from DATA = 1.
SEL inputs and LED control groups
The DIN1 to DIN6 6-channel LED drive pins can be divided into two groups of drive pins (EN1 control and
EN2 control drive pins) by the state of select inputs SEL1 and SEL2. Two groups with separate LED drive current control using EN1 and EN2 allows a single device to independently adjust the backlight brightness of 2
screens. With a MODE 6:0 setting, EN2 is not used and should be connected to GND. Also, any unused DIN
LED drive pins should be connected to GND.

SM8131B
VOUT Output Circuit Mode Switching
The SM8131B switches between 3 output states: power-save mode (standby state), ×1.0 mode (VIN through
mode), and ×1.5 mode (×1.5 charge pump boost). This automatically adjusts the VOUT output to match the
drive LED characteristics and reduces the total power dissipation. Switching to and from ×1.0 and ×1.5 mode
occurs automatically in an internal circuit, and cannot be controlled using an external input.
Power-ON internal reset time
The SM8131B switches from standby condition (power-save mode) to normal operating condition (×1.0/×1.5
mode) on the first rising edge of either EN1 or EN2. Note that if the VIN supply voltage is applied when EN1
or EN2 is HIGH, startup occurs after the internal power-ON reset time (approximately 50µs) expires. At startup, operation commences in ×1.5 mode for a fixed interval during the soft-start time in order to determine
whether a LED is connected to each DIN pin.

Switching to power-save mode
The internal circuit operating mode switches from ×1.0/×1.5 mode to power-save mode when both EN1 and
EN2 go LOW and do not switch HIGH for an interval of 1.63ms (max). This function turns the LEDs OFF and
automatically transfers internal circuit control to power-save mode, suppressing current consumption.

SM8131B
Switching from ×1.0 mode to ×1.5 mode
If the LEDs can be driven solely by the current determined by RSET and EN pulse input without boosting the
VIN input voltage, the VOUT output operates in ×1.0 mode. In other words, if sufficient current flows even with
the LED forward-direction voltage drop “VF”, then VOUT is less than 4.2V. Operation in the more efficient
×1.0 mode reduces the total power dissipation and extends the battery drive time. And if low “VF” LEDs are
used or the LED drive current setting is LOW, the operating time in ×1.0 mode is also extended.

VOUT mode switching time comparison due to drive LED “VF” variation
If the VIN voltage falls or RSET increases such that the LED drive current is too low in ×1.0 mode, then the
LED drive circuit low-current detector operates, the VOUT output is automatically switched to ×1.5 mode, and
the charge pump boosts the output voltage. This occurs even if only one LED low-current condition is detected
among the 6-channel LED drive circuits, thus it is recommended that LEDs have small “VF” variation to optimize the total efficiency.

VIN voltage drop and VOUT output voltage
(1) When VIN falls, VOUT cannot overcome the LED “VF” rating, causing insufficient current flows and the
ILED low-current signal becomes active.
(2) When the ILED low-current condition is detected, the VOUT output circuit switches to ×1.5 mode (charge
pump mode).
(3) Prior to switching to ×1.5 mode, the VOUT voltage may be lower than 4.2V but sufficient current is supplied to the LED.
If after startup, the LED connected to a DIN pin is switched, the LED connection detector circuit flags an error,
and correct mode switching may not occur. If the DIN pin does not control the LED drive current, the low-current detector does not operate and the device cannot switch to ×1.5 mode.
NIPPON PRECISION CIRCUITS INC.—11
SM8131B
Switching from ×1.5 mode to ×1.0 mode
VF increases immediately after the LED current starts to flow, and then decreases as the LED temperature
increases due to the heating effect of the current flow. It can take about 10 seconds for the LED temperature to
stabilize and for VF to reach equilibrium, and VF may fluctuate more than 200mV. The VF fluctuation is
affected by the ambient temperature and LED current setting, and has a large affect on the automatic mode
switching voltage tolerances. To counter the effects of VF fluctuation, the SM8131B outputs a mode reset signal once every 1.4 seconds which automatically switches the output mode to ×1.0, and then a determination is
made whether to make the ×1.0 → ×1.5 mode switch.

Switching from ×1.5 to ×1.0 mode due to the mode reset signal
(1) Mode reset signal is output once every 1.4 seconds.
(2) Switching from ×1.5 to ×1.0 mode due to the mode reset signal pulse.
(3) The mode hold time of 200µs (max) starts when output switches to ×1.0 mode. During this interval, the
mode is not switched even if an ILED undercurrent condition is detected.
(4) If VIN is low, the VOUT voltage momentarily drops because the boost function stops as a result of switching
to ×1.0 mode.
(5) The ILED undercurrent signal is ignored during the mode hold time, and the mode only switches in
response to the detector output after the mode hold time expires.
NIPPON PRECISION CIRCUITS INC.—12
SM8131B
For example, if the VIN voltage is low and the VOUT output voltage in ×1.0 mode does not provide sufficient
drive current, then the mode reset will cause a LED undercurrent condition. The LED undercurrent detector
circuit will output an LED undercurrent signal immediately after the switch to ×1.0 mode, but the output will
stay in ×1.0 mode and not return to ×1.5 mode for the duration of the mode hold time. Consequently, the VOUT
output is not boosted during the 85µs (min) to 200µs (max) mode hold time and the voltage drops and the LED
brightness is reduced. However, the LEDs are OFF for a maximum of 200µs only, and this is not discernible to
the naked eye and thus is not a problem.

VIN Input Voltage Range
The VIN minimum input voltage value to ensure rated drive current flows in each LED is determined by the
ILED setting (largest setting if divided into 2 groups), the total load current IOUT on pin VOUT, and the LED
forward-direction voltage drop “VF”, as given in the following equations:
(1) VF ≤ 1.5 × VIN − 10 × IOUT − 8 × ILED
(2) VIN ≥ (VF + 10 × IOUT + 8 × ILED)/1.5
where 1.5 is the charge pump boost factor, 10 is the VOUT output impedance, and 8 is the LED drive circuit
internal resistance.
For example, if VIN = 3.5V, ILED = 20mA, and IOUT = 120mA, then VF is given by equation as follows:
1.5 × 3.5 − 10 × 0.12 − 8 × 0.02 = 3.89 [V]
Thus if LEDs with VF of 3.89V or lower rating at ILED = 20mA are used, the device will provide sufficient
drive current. If VIN falls and the drive LED VF exceeds the calculated value, VIN will take ILED down with it
below the required setting.
The relationship in equation is shown graphically for values of IOUT = 30/60/90/120mA.

PERIPHERAL PARTS
About the External Capacitors
The best capacitors for use with the SM8131B are multi-layer ceramic capacitors. When selecting a multi-layer
ceramic capacitor, only X5R and X7R dielectric types are strongly recommended, since the loss of capacitance
in various conditions is less than other types such as Z5U and Y5V. The much loss of capacitance in various
conditions may cause the output voltage unstable.

About the Input Capacitor "C4"
The parts layout of PCB may merely cause the “VOUT” output voltage unstable. In this case, increasing the
“C4” input capacitance value or adding another capacitor on the VIN input line is effective to solve the unstable output voltage.
About the LED Current Setting Resistor "RSET"
The LED drive current variation depends on the LED drive current setting resistor “RSET” variation. Therefore, a precise resistor is recommended for RSET. The ISET output current value is about 20µA, so a 1/10 watt
class resistor is acceptable as the RSET.
