The TPS61043 is a high frequency boost converter
with constant current output that drives white LEDs or
similar. The LED current is set with the external
sense resistor (RS) and is directly regulated by the
feedback pin (FB) that regulates the voltage across
the sense resistor RS to 252 mV (typ). To control LED
brightness, the LED current can be pulsed by applying a PWM (pulse width modulated) signal with a
frequency range of 100 Hz to 50 kHz to the control
pin (CTRL). To allow higher flexibility, the device can
be configured where the brightness can be controlled
by an analog signal as well, as described in the
application information section. To avoid possible
leakage currents through the LEDs during shutdown,
the control pin (CTRL) disables the device and
disconnects the LEDs from ground. For maximum
safety during operation, the output has integrated
overvoltage protection that prevents damage to the
device by limiting the output voltage to typically 18 V
in case of a high impedance output (e.g. faulty LED).
The TPS61042 device provides a solution for applications where higher LED currents or more than four
LEDs in series need to be powered.

SLVS465A – DECEMBER 2003 – REVISED DECEMBER 2003
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Operation
The TPS61043 operates like a standard boost converter but regulates the voltage across the sense resistor (RS)
instead of the output voltage. This gives an accurate regulated LED current independent of the input voltage and
number of LEDs connected. With integrated overvoltage protection (OVP) the TPS61043 is configured as a
current source with overvoltage protection ideally suited to drive LEDs. The device can generate output voltages
of up to 16.9 V if the OVP-function is used and has an internal 400 mA MOSFET switch (Q1). This allows up to
four LEDs to be connected in series to the output. The internal LED switch (Q2) in series with the LEDs has a
maximum current rating of 60 mA and disconnects the LEDs from ground during shutdown. The LED switch is
driven by a PWM signal applied to the control pin (CTRL), which directly controls the LED brightness. With this
control method the LED brightness depends on the PWM duty cycle only and is independent of the PWM
frequency and amplitude. If the OVP-function is not needed, the device can be used to generate output voltages
up to 28V.
Boost Converter
The boost converter operates in a pulse frequency modulation (PFM) scheme with constant peak current control.
This control scheme maintains high efficiency over the entire load current range and with a switching frequency
of up to 1 MHz, enables the use of small external components. The converter monitors the sense voltage across
RS with the feedback pin (FB) and, when the feedback voltage falls below the reference voltage (252 mV typ),
the main switch turns on and the current ramps up. The main switch turns off when the inductor current reaches
the internally set peak current of 400 mA (typ). Refer to the peak current control section for more information.
The second criteria that turns off the main switch is the maximum on-time of 4.5 µs (typ). This limits the
maximum on-time of the converter in extreme conditions. As the switch is turned off the external Schottky diode
is forward biased, delivering the stored inductor energy to the output. The main switch remains off until the
minimum off time of 400 ns (typ) has passed and the feedback voltage is below the reference voltage again.
Using this PFM peak current control scheme, the converter operates in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM)
where the switching frequency depends on the inductor, input and output voltage, and LED current. Lower LED
currents reduce the switching frequency, which results in high efficiency over the entire LED current range. This
regulation scheme is inherently stable, allowing a wide range for the selection of the inductor and output
capacitor.
Peak Current Control (Boost Converter)
The internal switch is turned on until the inductor current reaches the DC current limit (ILIM) of 400 mA (typ) . Due
to the internal current limit delay of 100 ns (typ) the actual current exceeds the DC current limit threshold by a
small amount. The typical peak current limit can be calculated:
V
I
I
I 100 ns
P(typ)
(LIM)
L
V
I 400 mA I 100 ns
P
L
The higher the input voltage and the lower the inductor value, the greater the current limit overshoot.
Softstart
All inductive step-up converters exhibit high in-rush current during start-up if no special precautions are taken.
This can cause voltage drops at the input rail during start-up, which may result in an unwanted or premature
system shutdown.
The TPS61043 limits this in-rush current during start-up by increasing the current limit in two steps starting from
ILIM/4 for 256 switch cycles to ILIM/2 for the next 256 switch cycles and then full current limit. See Figure 12 for
typical start-up behavior.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION (continued)
Control (CTRL)
The CTRL pin serves two functions. One is the enable and disable of the device. The other is the PWM control of
the internal LED switch (Q2). The CTRL pin can be used as a standard enable pin for the device if no PWM
signal is applied to the CTRL pin. To enable the device, the CTRL pin must be pulled high for a time period of at
least 500 µs. The device starts with the Softstart cycle. Pulling the CTRL pin to GND for a time period ≥32 ms
disables the device, disconnecting the LEDs from GND by opening the LED switch (Q2) to avoid any LED
leakage current. See Figure 16 for the CTRL pin timing.

Figure 16. CTRL Timing Diagram
To enable the device, the CTRL signal must be high for 500 µs (see Figure 16). The PWM signal can then be
applied with a pulse width (tp) greater or smaller than tON. To force the device into shutdown mode, the CTRL
signal must be low for at least 32 ms. Requiring the CTRL pin to be low for 32 mS before the device enters
shutdown allows for PWM dimming frequencies as low as 100 Hz. The device is enabled again when a CTRL
signal is high for a period of 500 µs minimum. See Figure 11 for the PWM duty cycle versus LED current
characteristic.
The internal LED switch (Q2) is driven by the PWM signal when applied to the CTRL pin. Applying a PWM signal
in the range of 100 Hz to 50 kHz allows the LED current to be pulsed with the duty cycle of the PWM signal. The
CTRL pin accepts a PWM duty cycle from D = 1% to 100%. Duty cycles below 1% are also possible with the
restriction that the device is forced into shutdown as the off time of the applied PWM signal exceeds 10 ms.
When a PWM signal is applied to the CTRL pin the LED switch (Q2) turns on immediately. The internal error
comparator is disabled for 400 ns. This 400 ns delay time is required to establish the correct voltage level across
the sense resistor RS after the LED switch (Q2) is closed.
To achieve good LED current accuracy and linearity, the switching frequency of the converter must be higher
than the PWM frequency applied to the CTRL pin. This CTRL pin must be terminated.
Overvoltage Protection (OVP)
As with any current source, the output voltage rises as the output impedance increases as for example with a
disconnected load. To prevent the output voltage from exceeding the maximum main switch (Q1) voltage rating,
an overvoltage protection (OVP) circuit is integrated. With an OVP threshold voltage of 19 V maximum, up to 4
LEDs can be connected in series. This allows the use of a cheaper output capacitor with a 25 V voltage rating.
When the output voltage exceeds the OVP threshold voltage, (Q1) turns off. The converter switch remains off
until the output voltage falls below the OVP threshold voltage. As long as the output voltage is below the OVP
threshold the converter continues its normal operation, until the output voltage exceeds the OVP threshold again.
If overvoltage protection is not needed, then the OVP pin should be connected to GND. In this case the
TPS61043 can be used to generate output voltages up to 28V.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION (continued)
Undervoltage Lockout
An undervoltage lockout feature prevents mis-operation of the device at input voltages below 1.5 V (typ). As long
as the input voltage is below the undervoltage threshold the device remains off, with the main MOSFET switch
(Q1) and the LED switch (Q2) open.
Thermal Shutdown
An internal thermal shutdown is implemented in the TPS61043 that shuts down the device if the typical junction
temperature of 160°C is exceeded. If the device is in thermal shutdown mode, the main MOSFET switch (Q1)
and the LED switch (Q2) are open.
Inductor Selection, Maximum Load Current, and Switching Frequency
The PFM peak current control scheme of the TPS61043 is inherently stable. The inductor value does not affect
the stability of the regulator. The selection of the inductor together with the nominal LED current, input, and
output voltage of the application determines the switching frequency of the converter.
The first step is to calculate the maximum load current the converter can support using the selected inductor.
The inductor value has less effect on the maximum available load current and is only of secondary order. A good
inductor value to start with is 4.7 µH. Depending on the application, inductor values down to 1.0 µH can be used.
The maximum inductor value is determined by the maximum on time of the switch of 4.5 µs (typ). The peak
current limit of 400 mA (typ) must be reached within this 4.5 µs for proper operation. The maximum load current
of the converter is determined at the operation point where the converter starts to enter the continuous
conduction mode. The converter must always operate in discontinuous conduction mode to maintain regulation.
Depending on the time period of the inductor current fall time being larger or smaller compared to the minimum
off time of the converter (400 ns typ), the maximum load current can be calculated.

The above formula contains the expected converter efficiency that allows calculating the expected maximum load
current the converter can support. The efficiency can be taken out of the efficiency graphs shown in Figure 2 and
Figure 3 or 80% can be used as an accurate estimation.
If the converter can support the desired LED current, the next step is to calculate the converter switching
frequency at the operation point, which must be ≤1 MHz. Also the converter switching frequency should be much

converter shows no double pulses or pulse bursts (Figure 13 and Figure 14) on the switch node (SW) the
switching frequency at the operation point can be calculated as:

The smaller the inductor value, the higher the switching frequency of the converter but the lower the efficiency.
The selected inductor must have a saturation current that meets the maximum peak current of the converter as
calculated in the peak current control section. Use the maximum value for ILIM (480 mA) for this calculation.
Another important inductor parameter is the DC resistance. The lower the DC resistance the higher the efficiency
of the converter. See Table 1 and Figure 22 to Figure 26 for a selection of inductors.

Output Capacitor Selection and Line Regulation
For better output voltage filtering, a low ESR output capacitor is recommended. Ceramic capacitors have a low
ESR value, but depending on the application, tantalum capacitors can be used.
The selection of the output capacitor value directly influences the output voltage ripple of the converter which
also influences line regulation. The larger the output voltage ripple, the larger the line regulation, which means
that the LED current changes if the input voltage changes. If a certain change in LED current gives a noticeable
change in LED brightness, depends on the LED manufacturer and on the application. Applications requiring good
line regulation ≤1%/V (typ) must use output capacitor values ≥1 µF.
See Table 2 and Figure 22 to Figure 26 for the selection of the output capacitor.
Assuming the converter does not show double pulses or pulse bursts (see Figure 13 and Figure 14) on the
switch node (SW), the output voltage ripple is calculated as:

Diode Selection
To achieve high efficiency a Schottky diode must be used. The current rating of the diode must meet the peak
current rating of the converter as it is calculated in the peak current control section. Use the maximum value for
ILIM for this calculation. See Table 3 and Figure 22 to Figure 26 for the Schottky diode selection.

Efficiency
The overall efficiency of the application depends on the specific application conditions and mainly on the
selection of the inductor. A lower inductor value increases the switching frequency and switching losses yielding
in a lower efficiency. A lower inductor dc resistance has lower copper losses, giving a higher efficiency.
Therefore, the efficiency can typically vary ±5% depending on the selected inductor. Figure 2 and Figure 3 can
be used as a guideline for the application efficiency. These curves show the typical efficiency powering four
LEDs using a 4.7 µH inductor with just 1,2 mm height. The efficiency curve in Figure 2 and Figure 3 show the
efficiency delivering the power to the LEDs rather than the overall converter efficiency and is calculated as:

Setting the LED Current
The converter regulates the LED current by regulating the voltage across the current sense resistor (RS). The
voltage across the sense resistor is regulated to the internal reference voltage of V(FB) = 252 mV.

The current programming method is used when the brightness of the LEDs is fixed or controlled by a PWM
signal applied to the CTRL pin. When using a PWM signal on the CTRL pin, the LED brightness is only
dependent on the PWM duty cycle, independent of the PWM frequency, or amplitude, which simplifies the
system.
Analog Control Signal for Brightness Control
Alternatively, an analog voltage can be used as well to control the LED brightness.

Figure 18. Setting the LED Current using an analog control signal
In Figure 18 the LED current is determined by the voltage applied to R2 (VADJ) and the selection of R1, R2 and
the sense resistor (RS). In this configuration, the LED current is linear controlled instead of pulsed as in the
configuration before. To select the resistor values following steps are required.
1. Select the voltage VADJ(max) to turn the LEDs off, e.g. 3.3 V
2. Select the voltage VADJ(min) to turn the LEDs fully on, e.g. 0.0 V
3. Select the maximum and minimum LED current IO(max) and IO(min), e.g. IO(max) = 20 mA, IO(min) = 0 mA

PWM Control With Separate Enable
The control pin (CTRL) combines the enable function as well as the PWM brightness control function in one pin.
For some systems an independent enable function is required. One way to implement this is to use the
brightness control configuration as shown in the previous section Figure 18.
Other possible solutions are shown in Figure 19, Figure 20, Figure 21.

Layout Considerations
In all switching power supplies the layout is an important step in the design, especially at high peak currents and
switching frequencies. If the layout is not carefully done, the regulator might show noise problems and duty cycle
jitter.
The input capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the input pin for good input voltage filtering. The
inductor and diode must be placed as close as possible to the switch pin to minimize noise coupling into other
circuits. It is important to connect the output capacitor directly across the diode cathode pin and ground rather
than connecting the output capacitor across the LEDs. This minimizes EMI. Since the feedback pin and network
is a high impedance circuit, the feedback network should be routed away from the inductor.
Thermal Considerations
The TPS61043 comes in a thermally enhanced QFN package. The package includes a thermal pad improving
the thermal capabilities of the package. See the QFN/SON PCB Attachment application note (SLUA271).
The thermal resistance junction to ambient RΘJA of the QFN package greatly depends on the PCB layout. Using
thermal vias and wide PCB traces improves the thermal resistance RΘJA. Under normal operation conditions no
PCB vias are required for the thermal pad. However, the thermal pad must be soldered to the PCB.
