LED Lighting
The boost converter has adaptive output voltage
control based on the LED driver voltages. This
feature minimizes the power consumption by
adjusting the voltage to lowest sufficient level in all
conditions. Phase Shift PWM dimming offers further
power saving especially when there is poor matching
in the forward voltages of the LED strings. Boost
voltage can also be controlled through the
SMBus/I2C.
Internal EEPROM stores the data for backlight
brightness and ambient light sensor calibration.
Brightness can be calibrated during the backlight unit
production so that all units produce the same
brightness. EEPROM also stores the coefficients for
the LED control equations and the default LED
current value. LED current has 8–bit adjustment from
0 to 60 mA.
The LP8543 has several safety and diagnostic
features. Low-input voltage detection turns the chip
off if the system gets stuck and battery fully
discharges. Input voltage detection threshold is
adjustable for different battery configurations.
Thermal regulation reduces backlight brightness
above a set temperature. LED fault detection reports
open or LED short fault. Boost over-current fault
detection protects the chip in case of over-current
event.
LP8543 is available in the WQFN 24-pin package.

All voltages are with respect to the potential at the GND pins.
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).

Output Current Accuracy is the difference between the actual value of the output current and programmed value of this current.
Matching is the maximum difference from the average. For the constant current sinks on the part (OUT1 to OUT7), the following are
determined: the maximum output current (MAX), the minimum output current (MIN), and the average output current of all outputs (AVG).
Two matching numbers are calculated: (MAX-AVG)/AVG and (AVG-MIN/AVG). The largest number of the two (worst case) is
considered the matching figure. The typical specification provided is the most likely norm of the matching figure for all parts. Note that
some manufacturers have different definitions in use.

FUNCTIONAL OVERVIEW
The LP8543 is a high-voltage LED driver for medium-sized LCD backlight applications. It includes 38V boost
converter, 7 current sink outputs for the backlight and an interface for digital Ambient Light Sensor (ALS).
LP8543 can be controlled through SMBus or I2C serial interface or PWM input. Light-to-frequency type ambient
light sensor can be directly connected to LP8543 and the sensor response vs. LED brightness curve can be
programmed in the on-chip EEPROM memory.
LP8543 differs from conventional LED drivers due to following advanced features.
1. PHASE SHIFT PWM FEATURE
– LP8543 supports a state-of-the-art feature called Phase Shift PWM (PSPWM). Key advantages of the
PSPWM is improved power efficiency when there is variation in the forward voltages amongst the LED
strings. Due to an unmatched LED VF there is a random difference in each string forward voltage.
PSPWM optimizes the boost converter output voltage by turning off LED outputs periodically. The lower
the brightness, the more strings can be simultaneously off. When the strings with higher forward voltages
are turned off, the boost voltage is automatically lowered thereby improving efficiency. The second benefit
of PSPWM control is that it will make the boost and battery loading more constant. In other words, the
peak current needed from the battery is greatly reduced beause not all LED outputs are simultaneously
on.
2. PROGRAMMABLE OUTPUT STRINGS
– Programmability helps display manufacturers to fit LP8543 to several sizes of displays. The number of
output strings in use is a parameter in EEPROM and can be fixed during the manufacturing process of
displays. Based on the configuration the device will automatically adjust the phase Shift PWM function for
a given number of output strings. LP8543 supports of minimum of 4 strings and a maximum of 7 strings.
In this datasheet , strings 1 through 6 are classified as Display1, and string 7 is classified as Display2.
3. INDIVIDUALLY CONTROLLED LED STRING FOR BACKSIDE DISPLAY BACKLIGHT
– OUT7 string can be either used for main backlight or for possible back side sub display. Separate control
allows dimming through I2C interface and reduces extra components or ICs in display module.
4. LED FAULT DETECTION
– LED fault detection enables higher yield in display manufacturing process and also makes possible to
monitor backlight faults during normal operation. Fault test detects both open circuit (string with
unconnected or open circuit LED) and short circuit of 2 or more shorted LEDs. Single LED short can also
be detected if the amount of LEDs per string and/or the VF variation are sufficiently low. Threshold levels
are EEPROM programmable. Fault information is available in the status register and in the open drain
active low FAULT output.
5. LED PWM TEMPERATURE REGULATION
– This feature will decrease the effect of high temperature LED lifetime reduction. LP8543 reduces output
PWM of the LEDs at high temperatures and prevents overheating of the device and LEDs. Temperature
threshold can be programmed to EEPROM.
6. AMBIENT LIGHT SENSOR INTERFACE WITH USER PROGRAMMABLE CONTROL CURVE
– Ambient light sensing reduces power consumption and it allows natural backlight in any ambient light
condition. Programmability allows display manufacturer and even end user to control sensor to backlight
control loop. By integrating this feature LP8543 reduces external component count, wiring and complexity
of the design. LP8543 supports digital light-to-frequency type sensors. Prescaler and compensation curve
can be programmed in to the EEPROM.

Brightness Control Methods
1. CURRENT CONTROL
– The 8-bit LED current default value is read from EEPROM when the chip is activated. Current value can
be used for fine tuning the backlight brightness between panels. This current setting can be overridden by
a register write from the serial interface. Current control range is from 0 to 60 mA with 0.23 mA step. This
fine grained current control gives backlight manufacturer possibility to adapt different LED bins in one
product and maintain the full PWM control range. There are separate controls for both Display1 and
Display2.
2. INTERNAL PWM CONTROL
– The basic brightness control is register based 8-bit PWM control. There is a piecewise linear transfer
curve from register value to LED PWM value and the curve coefficients are stored in the EEPROM. This
makes possible to calibrate the 100% brightness and the dimming behavior. LED PWM frequency is
selectable from 229 Hz to 19.5 kHz. In addition PSPWM can be used.
3. EXTERNAL PWM CONTROL
– An external PWM signal can be used to set the brightness of the display. LP8543 measures the duty
cycle of this input signal to calculate the output PWM value. Input PWM frequency can vary from 100 Hz
to 25 kHz. Based on the configuration selected, this external PWM control can linearly reduce the
brightness from the value set by the Brightness Register. This external PWM control can also be used as
the only control for LP8543. In this case, when PWM input is permanently low, the chip is turned off.
When there is signal in PWM input, the chip turns on and adjusts brightness according to PWM signal
duty cycle. In addition, PSPWM can also be used in this mode.
4. AMBIENT LIGHT SENSING
– External ambient light sensor can be used for controlling the brightness of the LEDs. Light-to- Frequency
type light sensor can be connected to ALSI input in LP8543 for ambient light compensation. Transfer
curve coefficients for response setting are stored in EEPROM. LP8543 has an enable output, ALSO to
activate the light sensor (active high/low, programmed to EEPROM). Light sensor supply voltage can be
taken from the 5V regulator in LP8543. Ambient light control is possible for Display1 (4-7 outputs).
Calibration
LP8543 has an internal EEPROM to store different control parameters which allows calibrating the backlight
brightness at various brightness settings so that every display has exactly the same brightness and several
LP8543 circuits can be used in the same display if needed.
Programming the EEPROM is easy. User needs to write the data in the shadow RAM memory and give the
EEPROM write command. On-chip boost converter produces the needed erase and program voltages, no
external voltages other than normal input voltage are required.
Calibration in backlight or display production can be done according to the flowchart below

Energy Efficiency
The voltage across the LED drivers is constantly monitored and boost voltage is adjusted to minimum sufficient
voltage when adaptive boost mode is selected. Inductive boost converter maintains good efficiency over wide
input and output operating voltage ranges. The boost output has over voltage protection limiting the maximum
output to 38V. The boost is internally compensated and the output voltage can be either controlled with 5-bit
register value or automatically adjusted based on the LED driver voltages.
LP8543 has an internal 5V LDO with low current consumption. The 5V LDO can supply 5 mA current for external
devices like ALS (Ambient Light Sensor). LDO is switched off in standby mode. The internal LDO is used for
powering internal blocks as well; therefore the 470 nF CVLDO capacitor must be used even if external load is not
used.
Serial Communication
LP8543 supports two serial protocols: SMBus and I2C. IF_SEL input is used to determine the selection. SMBus
interface is selected when IF_SEL is high and I2C is selected when IF_SEL is low.

Output Grouping
LP8543 features a total of 7 strings (OUT1-OUT7), which can be arranged into 2 groups (Display1 and Display2).
Display1 refers to backlighting for main display and Display2 refers to lighting for a sub display. Number of
outputs used for Display1 can be defined using EEPROM register bits, as shown in the table below. LP8543
supports a minimum of 4 strings and a maximum of 7 strings for Display1. Outputs must be used in order starting
from OUT1. Unused outputs can be left open. When needed OUT7 can be configured for Display2 and it has its
own current and PWM control registers for independent control. EEPROM default factory setting is 6 outputs for
Display1 and OUT7 for Display2.

LED Current Control
Two 8-bit EEPROM registers, Display1 current and Display2 current (addresses B0H and B1H) hold the
default LED string current for the Display1 and Display2 groups respectively. The default values are read from
EEPROM when the chip is activated. When required the LED current can be adjusted also in the registers
Display1 and Display2 current (addresses 05H and 06H). Use of this register is enabled by setting bit 1 in
Config2 register. Default value for <CURRENT SEL> bit is 0, which means that current values in EEPROM are
used. Current control range is linear from 0 to 60 A with 0.23 mA step. Factory default current for Display1 and
Display2 is 20 mA.
LED On/Off Control
LED strings can be activated with 100% PWM by writing <DRV[7:0]> bits high. All these controls are in Direct
control register.
PWM Control Selection
PWM control of the LED strings can be established through 4 combinations of user configurable options as
shown in the table below. <PM_MD> and <PWM_SEL> bits are part of Config1 Register.
Default setting is external PWM input signal. Each of the option is explained in the following sections.

In addition Ambient light sensor (when used) and on-chip temperature regulation also influence the output PWM
control. This is described later.
A. Direct PWM Input Control
Display1 group can be directly controlled with external PWM signal (bypassing all the PWM logic) by setting
<PWM_MD> and <PWM_SEL> bits high. Outputs will be active when the PWM input pin is high, and when the
input is low the outputs will be off. Input PWM frequency can vary from 100 Hz to 25 kHz. Display2 is not
controlled with this signal.
Note: In this mode, Ambient Light sensor and PSPWM scheme do not influence the output PWM.

B. PWM Input Pin Control (Duty Cycle-based)
An external PWM signal can be used to set the brightness of the Display1 group. LP8543 measures the duty
cycle of this input signal to calculate the output PWM value. Input PWM frequency can vary from 100 Hz to 25
kHz. Output PWM frequency is set by EEPROM registers.
Note: In this mode, Ambient Light compensation and PSPWM scheme can be also used.
C. PWM Control Using Brightness Register
Generation of PWM for LED strings can be based on Brightness register value. For Display1 group, this scheme
is enabled when <PWM_SEL> bit is set to 0 and <PWM_MD> is set to 1. Display2 group has the brightness
register control enabled by default. Two separate 8-bit registers Displ1 brightness and Displ2 brightness store
the brightness values for Display1 and Display2 respectively. For Display1, this 8-bit brightness value from the
register is converted to 10-bit LED PWM value using a three-part piecewise linear transfer curve as shown
below. This makes it possible to calibrate the 100% brightness and the dimming behavior. The curve coefficients
are stored in the EEPROM and are user programmable if needed. The LED PWM frequency is set by EEPROM
register.
Note: In this mode, Ambient Light compensation and PSPWM scheme can be also used.
Figure 12. Three-Segment Transfer Curve Example
D. PWM Pin and Register Control
In this mode, PWM control pin can linearly reduce the brightness of Display1 from the value set by the
Brightness Register and Ambient Light sensor. Same controls can be used as in brightness register based PWM
control. Output PWM frequency is set by EEPROM registers. This mode is compatible with Intel DPST (Display
Power Saving Technology).
Stand Alone Mode
LP8543 can be set to operate in stand alone mode, where LP8543 operates without I2C / SMBus and EN and
PWM input pins are the only controls for the device. To enable stand-alone mode, EEPROM bit
<EN_STANDALONE> must be set to 1 in register B4h. In this mode PWM pin sets the brightness and with EN
pin the backlight can be turned on. When PWM or EN input pin is permanently low, the chip is turned off. Turn off
time is typically 50 ms. When there is signal in PWM input and EN is high, the chip turns on and adjusts
brightness according to PWM signal duty cycle. All settings needed for operation like LED current, number of
LEDs etc. are obtained from EEPROM. If only one signal control is needed, the EN and PWM pin can be tied
together and PWM signal can be connected to this. Stand alone mode is useful in applications where I2C or
SMBus control is not possible or available to use.

Ambient Light Compensation
LP8543 supports an external ambient light sensor to control the backlight brightness (Display1) and its usage is
controlled with two bits in the Config2 register, namely <ALSO_EN> and <ALSO_CALC_EN>. <ALSO_EN> bit
controls enabling/disabling of the sensor itself, and <ALSO_CALC_EN> bit determines whether the ALS
measurement data will be used by an external processor (Host) or by LP8543’s internal control logic to control
the brightness.
If <ALSO_EN> bit is 1 the ALSO output pin is set high and the input frequency measuring is enabled. Frequency
is measured for 500 ms, and the result is divided with 10-bit prescaler (defined in EEPROM), resulting in a 10-bit
value. This 10-bit result can be read from ALS MSB and ALS LSB registers. ALS MSB register must be read
first followed by ALS LSB register. If ALS_CALC_EN bit is set to 0, then the measurement data is not used by
LP8543’s internal PWM logic but left for the host to adjust the brightness.
On the other hand if the ALS_CALC_EN bit is set to 1, ALS measurement result will control backlight brightness
in all but direct external PWM control mode. The measured ALS value is converted to PWM value using a three
segment linear curve. The calculated PWM value is used as a multiplier for the LED PWM value obtained from
brightness register, PWM input pin or combination of both depending which mode is selected. The conversion
curve parameters are stored in EEPROM memory. Conversion curve is similar as in PWM control.
Smoothing filter is used to prevent rapid changes. Smoothing filter has EEPROM programmable slopes from 0 to
2s. The slope defines the time it takes to change brightness from one value to next. Slope control can be also
used to smooth changes to backlight brightness caused by other PWM controls (brightness register or external
PWM input).

ALSO output can be used as GPO if not used for ALS control. ALSO pin state is then controlled with
<ALSO_EN> register bit.
Phase Shift PWM (PSPWM)
PSPWM improves the system efficiency by optimizing the boost converter voltage on a cycle by cycle basis
instead of maintaining a constant voltage based on the highest VF string. PSPWM scheme can be used for
Display1 group. Phase shift PWM control principle is illustrated in the picture below using an example of 6 string
implementation and 41.7% brightness setting. In a 6-string implementation, each of the string supports a
maximum of 16.67% (1/6) of the total backlight brightness. The brightness set value in this example is 41.7%.
Hence two strings are fully on (2 x 16.67% = 33.33%) and one string is 50% on (0.5 x 16.67% = 8.34%). This
pattern of two 100% and one 50% strings is then cycled through all 6 output strings. After 6 cycles the brightness
value is changed to 83.33%, resulting in 5 LEDs fully on (5 x 16.67%).

Phase shift frequency can either be the same as the PWM frequency or a lower frequency can be selected with
<PHASE_SHIFT_FREQ[1:0]> EEPROM bits. At highest 19.5 kHz PSPWM frequency, the boost will use a
constant voltage based on the highest VF string because of timing constraints of the high PWM frequency.
PSPWM is enabled by default, but it can be disabled by setting <DISABLE_PS> EEPROM bit to 1.
Two PSPWM modes are available. PSPWM mode is selected with <PWM_MODE> EEPROM bit. Difference
between modes is in the PWM frequencies available. PWM and PSPWM frequency settings are shown in
Table 4.

Device Thermal Regulation
LP8543 has an internal temperature sensor which can be used to measure the junction temperature of the
device and protect the device from overheating. During thermal regulation, LED PWM is reduced by 4% of full
scale per °C whenever the temperature threshold is reached. I.e., with 100% PWM value the PWM goes to 0%
25°C above threshold temperature. With lower PWM start value 0% is reached earlier. Temperature regulation is
enabled automatically when the chip is enabled. 11-bit temperature value can be read from Temp MSB and
Temp LSB registers, MSB should be read first. Temperature limit can be programmed in EEPROM as shown in
the following table.

EEPROM
EEPROM memory stores various parameters for chip control. The 256 bit EEPROM memory is organized as 32
x 8 bits. The EEPROM structure consists of a SRAM front end and the Non-volatile memory (NVM). SRAM data
can be read and written through the serial interface. To erase and write NVM, separate commands need to be
sent. Erase and Write voltages are generated on-chip, no other voltages than normal input voltage are required.
A complete EEPROM memory map is shown in the chapter LP8543 EEPROM Memory Map.

EEPROM structure is described in the figure below. User has read and write access to SRAM part of the
EEPROM directly through I2C / SMBus when PWM calculation is not enabled; i.e., <BL_CTL> = 0 and external
PWM pin = low. To see whether the EEPROM can be accessed user can read <EE_READY> bit. ALS and
brightness coefficient curves (address A0h – Afh) and empty EEPROM cells (address B4h – BBh) have only
NVM and SRAM. Other EEPROM cells have also EEPROM registers. For the cells which have also EEPROM
registers, the changes made to SRAM does not take effect until update command is sent. This is done by setting
EE_UPDATE and EE_READ bits to 1. After an update, these bits must be set back to 0. For EEPROM bits
which do not have registers, changes take effect immediately.
At startup the values in NVM part of the EEPROM is loaded to SRAM and to EEPROM registers. User can also
load values from NVM to SRAM and EEPROM registers by writing EE_READ to 1.
To write SRAM values to NVM user needs to first erase EEPROM and the program it. This is done by first writing
EE_ERASE to 1 and then 0. At this point NVM is erased. To burn new values to NVM, user needs to write
EE_PROG to 1 and then 0. The LP8543 generates the needed erase and write voltage from boost output
voltage.

Boost Converter
Operation
The LP8543 boost DC/DC converter generates a 10…38V supply voltage for the LEDs from 5.5…22V input
voltage. The output voltage is controlled with a 5-bit register in 1V steps. The converter is a magnetic switching
PWM mode DC/DC converter with a current limit. The topology of the magnetic boost converter is called CPM
(current programmed mode) control, where the inductor current is measured and controlled with the feedback.
Switching frequency is selectable between 625 kHz and 1.25 MHz with EEPROM bit <BOOST_FREQ>. Boost is
enabled with <EN_BOOST> bit.

User can program the output voltage of the boost converter or use adaptive mode where boost output voltage is
adjusted automatically based on LED driver saturation. In adaptive mode the boost output voltage control steps
are 0.25V. Enabling the adaptive mode is done with <BOOST_AUTO> bit in Boost Control register. If boost is
started with adaptive mode enabled (default) then the initial voltage value is defined with EEPROM bits at
address 29H in order to eliminate long iteration time when the chip is started. If adaptive mode is enabled after
boost startup, then the boost will use register 07H values as initial voltage value. The output voltage control
changes the resistor divider in the feedback loop. The following figure shows the boost topology with the
protection circuitry.

Protection
Four different protection schemes are implemented:
1. Over-voltage protection limit changes dynamically based on output voltage setting
– Over-voltage protection limit changes dynamically based on output voltage setting.
– Keeps the output below breakdown voltage.
– Prevents boost operation if battery voltage is much higher than desired output.
2. SW current limiting, limits the maximum inductor current.
3. Over-current protection enables fault flag and shuts down boost converter in over-current condition.
4. Duty cycle limiting.
Manual Output Voltage Control
User can control the boost output voltage with Boost_output (07H) register when adaptive mode is disabled;
i.e., <BOOST_AUTO> = 0.

Adaptive Boost Control
Adaptive boost control function adjusts the boost voltage to the minimum sufficient voltage for proper LED driver
operation. When PSPWM is used the output voltage can be adjusted for every phase shift step separately except
in 19.5 kHz PSPWM mode due to timing constraints. To enable PSPWM to each phase, the <BOOST_MODE>
EEPROM bit must be 0. This enables power saving when strings have mismatch in VF voltages. The correct
voltage for each string is stored and used in predicting when the boost has to start increasing voltage for the next
step. The boost setup time can be defined with two EEPROM bits. Principle of the boost voltage adjustment with
PSPWM is illustrated below. If higher PWM value is used then more strings are on at the same time, and voltage
is adjusted based on highest VF on simultaneously active strings.

Figure 17. Boost Adaptive Voltage Control for 5–String PSPWM
When adaptive boost mode is selected the voltages across the LED drivers are constantly monitored. There are
three voltage thresholds used, Low, Mid and High. Low and High thresholds are adjustable with 3 EEPROM bits.
Low threshold range is from 0.5V to 2.25V and High threshold range is from 3 to 10V. Mid threshold is set 0.5V
above Low threshold. Threshold levels are listed in the table below. Adjustability is provided to enable adaptation
to different conditions. If there is a lot of variation between LED string VF, then higher threshold levels must be
used to avoid false fault indications. If there is low variation between LED string VF, then lower thresholds are
recommended to maintain good efficiency. Fault detection chapter describes how these thresholds are used also
for fault detection.

If only one string is on at a time (Brightness value lower than 100% divided by number of strings) the voltage for
each string is adjusted so that the voltage across the driver will fall between Low and Mid threshold. If more
strings are on at the same time (high PWM value, or PSPWM not used) the situation looks like in the following
diagram. In this diagram 6 outputs are on at the same time. In normal operation voltages across all LED driver
outputs are between high and low threshold.

Fault Detection
LP8543 has fault detection for LED fault, low-battery voltage, overcurrent and thermal shutdown. The open drain
output pin (FAULT) can be used to indicate occurred fault. The cause for the fault can be read from status
register. Refreshing the <BL_CTL> bit high will reset the fault register and fault pin state.

Led Fault Detection
There are two methods of detecting the LED fault. First method is based on measuring the voltage on LED driver
pins (analog fault detection) and another is based on adaptive boost voltage hopping between strings (digital
fault detection). The used fault detection mode is selected in EEPROM as well as the threshold levels.
<FAULT_SEL[1:0]> bits selects the used mode as follows:
Table 9. LED Fault Mode Selection
FAULT_SEL[1:0]

No fault detection
01
Analog fault detection based on LED driver voltage

Digital fault detection based on boost voltage hopping
11
Both analog and digital fault detection
Two fault detection methods are used to detect faults in different conditions. Analog detection works better with
high PWM values (in PSPWM mode) where many strings are active at a same time. It does not work when only
one string is active at a time, because it is based on comparing driver voltages on strings active simultaneously.
Digital fault detection is used to complement this case.
Digital fault detection works better with low PWM values, where not all strings are on at the same time. Digital
short detection works only with cases where one string is active at the same time.
Analog Fault Detection
When analog fault detection mode is selected, the voltages across the LED drivers are constantly monitored. The
same threshold levels (Low, Mid and High) are used for fault detection to adjust the boost voltage.
If one of the LED strings has an open fault (LED driver output pin has no contact to LED string), the output pin
voltage drops to 0V. When this happens the boost voltage will be adjusted higher to get enough headroom, but
at some point the voltage for all other strings will rise over the high threshold. In this case the LP8543 detects
open fault, and adjusts the boost voltage based on other LED strings needs, i.e., the faulty LED string voltage is
not used anymore for adjusting boost output voltage. If the LED driver output pin is shorted to GND the fault
detection works exactly the same. This situation with 6 LEDs active at the same time is illustrated in the following
diagram:
This causes the
open fault!

Digital Fault Detection
With digital fault detection the voltage hopping between LED strings is monitored in PSPWM mode. In normal
PWM mode or with high PWM values with PSPWM mode this does not apply.
If there’s open in one of the LED strings, the LED driver output pin will drop to 0V. When this happens the boost
will try to increase the voltage to get enough headroom for the driver. When the voltage for one string reaches
maximum voltage (38V) and the difference between consecutive LED strings is higher than set threshold level an
open LED fault is detected. If all voltages are close to 38V then the threshold condition is not met and no fault is
detected. If the LED output is shorted to GND it will be detected same way. Open fault detection is seen in the
following figure:

Figure 23. Digital Open Fault Detection
If there is one or more LEDs shorted in one string, the boost will drop the voltage for this string. When the
difference between consecutive LED strings is higher than set threshold level a short LED fault is detected. This
is described in the following figure:

When Fault is detected the FAULT pin will be pulled down (open drain output), and corresponding status register
bit is set. To clear the fault user must read the status register.
Note: LED fault output signal is generated only once for certain fault type. If, for example, open fault occurs, new
open fault does not cause the FAULT pin to be pulled down uless chip is reset by setting EN pin low and high
again. The faults will be seen in the register however. If LED fault is detected, the string which created the fault is
no longer used for adjusting the boost voltage. Otherwise the LP8543 operates as normally.
Note: Due to the nature of fault detection it is possible to generate false faults during startup etc. conditions.
Therefore when fault is detected it is recommended to read the fault/status register twice to make sure that the
first fault is real. If the second reading gives the same result then the fault is real.
Under-Voltage Detection
LP8543 has detection for too low VIN voltage. Threshold level for the voltage is set with EEPROM register bits as
seen in the following table:

UVLO_THR
Threshold (V)

Under voltage detection is always on. When under voltage is detected the LED outputs and boost will shutdown,
Fault pin will be pulled down (open drain output) and corresponding fault bit is set in status register. Fault can be
reset by reading the status register. LEDs and boost will start again when the voltage has increased above the
threshold level. Hysteresis is implemented to threshold level to avoid continuous triggering of fault when
threshold is reached.
Note: Due to the nature of fault detection it is possible to generate false faults during startup etc. conditions.
Therefore when fault is detected it is recommended to read the fault/status register twice to make sure that the
first fault is real. If the second reading gives the same result then the fault is real.
Over-Current Detection
LP8543 has detection for too high loading on the boost converter. When over current fault is detected the
LP8543 will shut down and set the fault flag.
Thermal Shutdown
If the LP8543 reaches thermal shutdown temperature (150°C) the LED outputs and boost will shut down to
protect it from damage. Also the fault pin will be pulled down to indicate the fault state. Device will activate again
when temperature drops below 130°C.
SMBus/I2C Compatible Serial Bus Interface
Interface Bus Overview
The SMBus/I2C-compatible synchronous serial interface provides access to the programmable functions and
registers on the device. This protocol uses a two-wire interface for bidirectional communications between the IC's
connected to the bus. The two interface lines are the Serial Data Line (SDA), and the Serial Clock Line (SCL /
SCLK). These lines should be connected to a positive supply, via a pull-up resistor and remain HIGH even when
the bus is idle.

Every device on the bus is assigned a unique address and acts as either a Master or a Slave depending on
whether it generates or receives the serial clock (SCLK). LP8543 is always a slave device.
Data Transactions
One data bit is transferred during each clock pulse. Data is sampled during the high state of the serial clock
(SCL). Consequently, throughout the clock’s high period, the data should remain stable. Any changes on the
SDA line during the high state of the SCLK and in the middle of a transaction, aborts the current transaction.
New data should be sent during the low SCLK state. This protocol permits a single data line to transfer both
command/control information and data using the synchronous serial clock.

Figure 25. Bit Transfer
Each data transaction is composed of a Start Condition, a number of byte transfers (set by the software) and a
Stop Condition to terminate the transaction. Every byte written to the SDA bus must be 8 bits long and is
transferred with the most significant bit first. After each byte, an Acknowledge signal must follow. The following
sections provide further details of this process.

The Master device on the bus always generates the Start and Stop Conditions (control codes). After a Start
Condition is generated, the bus is considered busy and it retains this status until a certain time after a Stop
Condition is generated. A high-to-low transition of the data line (SDA) while the clock (SCLK) is high indicates a
Start Condition. A low-to-high transition of the SDA line while the SCLK is high indicates a Stop Condition.

Figure 27. Start and Stop Conditions
In addition to the first Start Condition, a repeated Start Condition can be generated in the middle of a transaction.
This allows another device to be accessed, or a register read cycle.
Acknowledge Cycle
The Acknowledge Cycle consists of two signals: the acknowledge clock pulse the master sends with each byte
transferred, and the acknowledge signal sent by the receiving device.
The master generates the acknowledge clock pulse on the ninth clock pulse of the byte transfer. The transmitter
releases the SDA line (permits it to go high) to allow the receiver to send the acknowledge signal. The receiver
must pull down the SDA line during the acknowledge clock pulse and ensure that SDA remains low during the
high period of the clock pulse, thus signaling the correct reception of the last data byte and its readiness to
receive the next byte.
“Acknowledge After Every Byte” Rule
The master generates an acknowledge clock pulse after each byte transfer. The receiver sends an acknowledge
signal after every byte received.
There is one exception to the “acknowledge after every byte” rule. When the master is the receiver, it must
indicate to the transmitter an end of data by not-acknowledging (“negative acknowledge”) the last byte clocked
out of the slave. This “negative acknowledge” still includes the acknowledge clock pulse (generated by the
master), but the SDA line is not pulled down.
Addressing Transfer Formats
Each device on the bus has a unique slave address. The LP8543 operates as a slave device with the 7-bit
address combined with data direction bit. Slave address is pin-selectable as follows:
Table 12. Address Selection
ADR
Slave Address Write (8 bits)
Slave Address Read (8 bits)

1
01011000 (58H)
01011010 (5AH)
01011001 (59H)
01011011 (5BH)
Before any data is transmitted, the master transmits the address of the slave being addressed. The slave device
should send an acknowledge signal on the SDA line, once it recognizes its address.
The slave address is the first seven bits after a Start Condition. The direction of the data transfer (R/W) depends
on the bit sent after the slave address — the eighth bit.
When the slave address is sent, each device in the system compares this slave address with its own. If there is a
match, the device considers itself addressed and sends an acknowledge signal. Depending upon the state of the
R/W bit (1:read, 0:write), the device acts as a transmitter or a receiver.

Example using above equations:
• VIN = 12V
• VOUT = 38V
• IOUT = 400 mA
• L = 15 µH − 20% = 12 µH
• f = 1.25 MHz
• ISAT = 1.6A
As a result the inductor should be selected according to the ISAT. A more conservative and recommended
approach is to choose an inductor that has a saturation current rating greater than the maximum current limit of
0.9...2.5A (programmed to EEPROM). Maximum current limit needed for the application can be approximated
with calculations above. A 15 μH inductor with a saturation current rating of 2.5A is recommended for most
applications. The inductor’s resistance should be less than 300 mΩ for good efficiency. For high efficiency
choose an inductor with high frequency core material such as ferrite to reduce core losses. To minimize radiated
noise, use shielded core inductor. Inductor should be placed as close to the SW pin and the IC as possible.
Special care should be used when designing the PCB layout to minimize radiated noise and to get good
performance from the boost converter.
Output Capacitor
A ceramic capacitor with 50V voltage rating or higher is recommended for the output capacitor. The DC-bias
effect can reduce the effective capacitance by up to 80%, which needs to be considered in capacitance value
selection. For light loads (<100 mA) 4.7 µF capacitor is sufficient. For maximum output voltage/current 10 µF
capacitor (4 uF effective capacitance @ 38V) is recommended to reduce the output ripple. Small 33 pF capacitor
is recommended to use in parallel with the output capacitor to suppress high frequency noise.
LDO Capacitor
A 470 nF ceramic capacitor with 10V voltage rating is recommended for the LDO capacitor.
Output Diode
A schottky diode should be used for the output diode. Peak repetitive current should be greater than inductor
peak current (0.9...2.5A) to ensure reliable operation. Average current rating should be greater than the
maximum output current. Schottky diodes with a low forward drop and fast switching speeds are ideal for
increasing efficiency in portable applications. Choose a reverse breakdown voltage of the Schottky diode
significantly larger (~60V) than the output voltage. Do not use ordinary rectifier diodes, since slow switching
speeds and long recovery times cause the efficiency and the load regulation to suffer.
Ambient Light Sensor
LP8543 uses light-to-frequency type ambient light sensor. Suitable frequency range for ALS is 200 Hz to 2 MHz.

The marketing status values are defined as follows:
ACTIVE: Product device recommended for new designs.
LIFEBUY: TI has announced that the device will be discontinued, and a lifetime-buy period is in effect.
NRND: Not recommended for new designs. Device is in production to support existing customers, but TI does not recommend using this part in a new design.
PREVIEW: Device has been announced but is not in production. Samples may or may not be available.
OBSOLETE: TI has discontinued the production of the device.

Eco Plan - The planned eco-friendly classification: Pb-Free (RoHS), Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt), or Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) - please check http://www.ti.com/productcontent for the latest availability
information and additional product content details.
TBD: The Pb-Free/Green conversion plan has not been defined.
Pb-Free (RoHS): TI's terms "Lead-Free" or "Pb-Free" mean semiconductor products that are compatible with the current RoHS requirements for all 6 substances, including the requirement that
lead not exceed 0.1% by weight in homogeneous materials. Where designed to be soldered at high temperatures, TI Pb-Free products are suitable for use in specified lead-free processes.
Pb-Free (RoHS Exempt): This component has a RoHS exemption for either 1) lead-based flip-chip solder bumps used between the die and package, or 2) lead-based die adhesive used between
the die and leadframe. The component is otherwise considered Pb-Free (RoHS compatible) as defined above.
Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br): TI defines "Green" to mean Pb-Free (RoHS compatible), and free of Bromine (Br) and Antimony (Sb) based flame retardants (Br or Sb do not exceed 0.1% by weight
in homogeneous material)
(3)
MSL, Peak Temp. -- The Moisture Sensitivity Level rating according to the JEDEC industry standard classifications, and peak solder temperature.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
Texas Instruments Incorporated and its subsidiaries (TI) reserve the right to make corrections, enhancements, improvements and other
changes to its semiconductor products and services per JESD46, latest issue, and to discontinue any product or service per JESD48, latest
issue. Buyers should obtain the latest relevant information before placing orders and should verify that such information is current and
complete. All semiconductor products (also referred to herein as “components”) are sold subject to TI’s terms and conditions of sale
supplied at the time of order acknowledgment.
TI warrants performance of its components to the specifications applicable at the time of sale, in accordance with the warranty in TI’s terms
and conditions of sale of semiconductor products. Testing and other quality control techniques are used to the extent TI deems necessary
to support this warranty. Except where mandated by applicable law, testing of all parameters of each component is not necessarily
performed.
TI assumes no liability for applications assistance or the design of Buyers’ products. Buyers are responsible for their products and
applications using TI components. To minimize the risks associated with Buyers’ products and applications, Buyers should provide
adequate design and operating safeguards.
TI does not warrant or represent that any license, either express or implied, is granted under any patent right, copyright, mask work right, or
other intellectual property right relating to any combination, machine, or process in which TI components or services are used. Information
published by TI regarding third-party products or services does not constitute a license to use such products or services or a warranty or
endorsement thereof. Use of such information may require a license from a third party under the patents or other intellectual property of the
third party, or a license from TI under the patents or other intellectual property of TI.
Reproduction of significant portions of TI information in TI data books or data sheets is permissible only if reproduction is without alteration
and is accompanied by all associated warranties, conditions, limitations, and notices. TI is not responsible or liable for such altered
documentation. Information of third parties may be subject to additional restrictions.
Resale of TI components or services with statements different from or beyond the parameters stated by TI for that component or service
voids all express and any implied warranties for the associated TI component or service and is an unfair and deceptive business practice.
TI is not responsible or liable for any such statements.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it is solely responsible for compliance with all legal, regulatory and safety-related requirements
concerning its products, and any use of TI components in its applications, notwithstanding any applications-related information or support
that may be provided by TI. Buyer represents and agrees that it has all the necessary expertise to create and implement safeguards which
anticipate dangerous consequences of failures, monitor failures and their consequences, lessen the likelihood of failures that might cause
harm and take appropriate remedial actions. Buyer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages arising out of the use
of any TI components in safety-critical applications.
In some cases, TI components may be promoted specifically to facilitate safety-related applications. With such components, TI’s goal is to
help enable customers to design and create their own end-product solutions that meet applicable functional safety standards and
requirements. Nonetheless, such components are subject to these terms.
No TI components are authorized for use in FDA Class III (or similar life-critical medical equipment) unless authorized officers of the parties
have executed a special agreement specifically governing such use.
Only those TI components which TI has specifically designated as military grade or “enhanced plastic” are designed and intended for use in
military/aerospace applications or environments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any military or aerospace use of TI components
which have not been so designated is solely at the Buyer's risk, and that Buyer is solely responsible for compliance with all legal and
regulatory requirements in connection with such use.
TI has specifically designated certain components as meeting ISO/TS16949 requirements, mainly for automotive use. In any case of use of
non-designated products, TI will not be responsible for any failure to meet ISO/TS16949.
