Intersil ISL97683 Compact 2-3-4-ch led drivers with phase shift control Datasheet

Compact 2-3-4-Ch LED Drivers with Phase Shift Control
ISL97682, ISL97683, ISL97684
Features
The ISL97682, ISL97683, ISL97684 are Intersil’s highly
integrated 2-3-4-channels LED drivers that are suitable for
medium size TFT-LCD backlights. These parts can drive multiple
channels of LEDs from inputs as low as 4V to outputs of up to
45V. They can also operate from inputs as low as 3V to outputs of
up to 26.5V in bootstrap configuration (see Figure 26 for 3V
operation).
• ISL97682 - 2 x 100mA Channels
The ISL97682, ISL97683, ISL97684 feature optional channels
phase shift control. This feature is used to minimize the input,
output ripple characteristics and load transient, which help
eliminate or reduce the video and audio noise interference from
the backlight driver operation.
The ISL97682, ISL97683, ISL97684 offer 8-bit PWM dimming for
systems that need frequency tuning flexibility. With the unique
adaptive boost switching architecture, the ISL97682, ISL97683,
ISL97684 also offer Direct PWM dimming with output, which
follows input and achieves linearity as low as 0.009% at 200Hz
or 1.35% at 30kHz.
The drivers incorporate dynamic headroom control that monitors
the highest LED forward voltage string and uses its feedback signal
for the minimum output regulation. The ISL97682, ISL97683,
ISL97684 incorporates extensive fault protection functions including
string open and short circuit detections, OVP, and OTP. The switching
frequency can be selected at either 600kHz or 1.0MHz in PFM or
PWM mode. These parts are available in the thin and compact
16 Ld 3mmx3mm TQFN package and operate in ambient
temperature from -40°C to +85°C.

CAUTION: Do not operate at or near the maximum ratings listed for extended periods of time. Exposure to such conditions may adversely impact product
reliability and result in failures not covered by warranty.
NOTES:
4. θJA is measured in free air with the component mounted on a high effective thermal conductivity test board with “direct attach” features. See Tech
Brief TB379.
5. For θJC, the “case temp” location is the center of the exposed metal pad on the package underside.
6. PSIJT is the PSI junction-to-top thermal characterization parameter. If the package top temperature can be measured with this rating then the die
junction temperature can be estimated more accurately than the θJC and θJC thermal resistance ratings.

Theory of Operation
Current Matching and Current Accuracy
PWM Boost Converter
Each channel of the LED current is regulated by the current
source circuit, as shown in Figure 19.
The current mode PWM boost converter produces the minimal
voltage needed to enable the LED stack with the highest forward
voltage drop to run at the programmed current. The ISL97682,
ISL97683, ISL97684 employs current mode control boost
architecture that has a fast current sense loop and a slow voltage
feedback loop. Such architecture achieves a fast transient
response that is essential for the notebook backlight application
where the power can be a series of drained batteries or instantly
change to an AC/DC adapter without rendering a noticeable
visual nuisance. The number of LEDs that can be driven by the
ISL97682, ISL97683, ISL97684 depend on the type of LED
chosen in the application. The ISL97682, ISL97683, ISL97684
are capable of boosting up to 45V and typically driving 13 LEDs
in series for each of the 4 channels, enabling a total of 52 pieces
of the 3.2V/20mA type of LEDs.
The LED peak current is set by translating the RSET current to the
output with a scaling factor of 401.8/RSET. The source terminals
of the current source MOSFETs are designed to run at 500mV to
optimize power loss versus accuracy requirements. The sources
of errors of the channel-to-channel current matching come from
the op amps offset, internal layout, reference, and current source
resistors. These parameters are optimized for current matching
and absolute current accuracy. However, the absolute accuracy is
additionally determined by the external RSET. A 1% tolerance
resistor is recommended.
OVP
The Overvoltage Protection (OVP) pin has a function of setting the
overvoltage trip level as well as limiting the VOUT regulation
range.
The ISL97682, ISL97683, ISL97684 OVP threshold is set by
RUPPER and RLOWER shown by Equation 1:
VOUT_OVP = 1.22V * (RUPPER + RLOWER)/RLOWER

(EQ. 1)
VOUT can only regulate between 42% and 100% of the VOUT_OVP
such that:

FIGURE 19. SIMPLIFIED CURRENT SOURCE CIRCUIT
Allowable VOUT = 42% to 100% of VOUT_OVP
Dynamic Headroom Control
For example, if 10 LEDs are used with the worst case being VOUT
of 35V. If R1 and R2 are chosen such that the OVP level is set at
40V, then the VOUT is allowed to operate between 16.8V and 40V.
If the requirement is changed to 4 LEDs of 14V VOUT application,
then the OVP level must be reduced and users should follow the
VOUT = (42% ~100%) OVP level requirement. Otherwise, the
headroom control will be disturbed such that the channel voltage
can be much higher than expected and sometimes can prevent
the driver from operating properly.
The ISL97682, ISL97683, ISL97684 feature a proprietary
Dynamic Headroom Control circuit that detects the highest
forward voltage string or the lowest voltage from any of the CH
pins digitally. When the lowest CH voltage is lower than the short
circuit threshold (VSC), such voltage will be used as the feedback
signal for the boost regulator. The boost makes the output to the
correct level such that the lowest CH is at the target headroom
voltage. Since all LED stacks are connected to the same output
voltage, the other CH pins will have a higher voltage, but the
regulated current source circuit on each channel will ensure that
each channel has the same current. The output voltage will
regulate cycle-by-cycle and it is always referenced to the highest
forward voltage string in the architecture.
The ratio of the OVP capacitor should be the inverse of the OVP
resistor. For example:
if RUPPER/RLOWER = 33/1, then CUPPER/CLOWER = 1/33 with
CUPPER = 100pF and CUPPER = 3.3nF.
Dimming Controls
Enable
An EN signal is required to enable the internal regulator for normal
operation. If there is no signal for longer than 28ms, the device will
enter shutdown.
The ISL97682, ISL97683, ISL97684 allow two ways of controlling
the LED current, and therefore, the brightness. They are:
1. DC current adjustment
2. PWM chopping of the LED current defined in Step 1.
Power Sequence
There is no specific power sequence requirement for the
ISL97682, ISL97683, ISL97684. The EN signal can be tied to VIN
but not the VDC that will prevent the device from powering up.
10
There are various ways to achieve DC or PWM current control,
which will be described in the following.

Maximum DC Current Setting
The initial brightness should be set by choosing an appropriate
value for RSET. This should be chosen to fix the maximum
possible LED current as shown in Equation 2 for ISL97682 and
Equation 3 for ISL97683 and ISL97684:

Once RSET is fixed, the LED DC current can be adjusted.
For example, in the 4-channel ISL97684, if the maximum required
LED current (ILED(max)) is 20mA, rearranging Equation 3 yields

The ISL97682, ISL97683, ISL97684 have high speed 8-bit
digitizers that decode the incoming PWM signal and convert it into
2- 3- or 4- channels of 8-bit PWM current with a phase shift
function that will be described later. During the PWM On period,
the LED peak current is defined by the RSET resistor value. The
average LED current of each channel is controlled by ILEDmax and

Phase Shift Control
The ISL97682, ISL97683, ISL97684 are capable of delaying the
phase of each current source. Conventional LED drivers exhibit
the worst load transients to the boost circuit by turning on all
channels simultaneously as shown in Figures 20 and 21. In
contrast, the ISL97682, ISL97683, ISL97684 phase shifts each
channel by turning them on once during each PWM dimming
period as shown in Figures 23 and 24. At each dimming duty
cycle except at 100%, the sum of the phase shifted total current
will be less than a conventional LED drivers’ total current.
For ISL97682, the two channels are separated by 180°. For
ISL97683, the three channels are separated by 90° and not
120°. For ISL97684, the four channels are separated by 90°. If
the channels are combined for higher current application, the
phase shift function must be disabled by running the part in
direct PWM mode by floating the RFPWM/DirectPWM and
selecting switching frequency by biasing the FSW pin as
explained in Table 2.

The ISL97682, ISL97683, ISL97684 goes into PFM mode at
FSW = 600kHz/1MHz when the FSW pin is biased at 0/VDC volts.
The part will only go into PFM mode depending on the LED output
voltage and loading conditions and can be more efficient than
running the part in PWM mode as shown in Figures 5 and 6. The
dimming frequency can be set or applied up to 30kHz with duty
cycle from 0.4% to 100%. The lower limit of 0.4% is the result of
an 8-bit digitizer resolution.
Soft-Start
where FPWM is the desirable PWM dimming frequency and
RFPWM is the setting resistor. Do not bias RFPWM/DirectPWM if
direct PWM dimming is used; see Table 1 for clarification.
The in-rush current will flow towards COUT when VIN is applied
and it is determined by the ramp rate of VIN and the values of
COUT and L.
The PWM dimming frequency can be set or applied up to 30kHz
with duty cycle from 0.4% to 100%. The lower limit of 0.4% is the
result of 8-bit digitizer resolution.
Once the part is enabled, the boost regulator will begin to switch
and the current in the inductor will ramp-up. The current in the
boost power switch is monitored and the switching is terminated
in any cycle where the current exceeds the current limit. The
ISL97682, ISL97683, ISL97684 include a soft-start feature
where this current limit starts at a low value (225mA). This is
stepped up to the final 1.8A current limit in 7 further steps of
225mA. These steps will happen over approximately 8ms and
will be extended at a low LED PWM frequency if the LED duty
cycle is low. This allows the output capacitor to be charged to the
required value at a low current limit and prevents high input
current for systems that have only a low to medium output
current requirement.
Direct PWM Dimming
The ISL97682, ISL97683, ISL97684 can also operate in direct
PWM dimming mode such that the output follows the input PWM
signal without phase shifting. The FSW pin can still be used to
select between 600kHz and 1MHz in PWM or PFM mode as
explained in “Pin Descriptions” on page 4. To use Direct PWM
mode, users should float the RFPWM/DirectPWM pin. The input
PWM frequency should be limited to 30kHz and the minimum
duty cycle be calculated by Equation 7:
Min Duty Cycle = 450ns × Input PWM Frequency

ISL97682, ISL97683, ISL97684
Fault Protection and Monitoring
The ISL97682, ISL97683, ISL97684 feature extensive protection
functions to cover all the perceivable failure conditions. The
failure mode of a LED can be either open circuit or as a short. The
behavior of an open circuited LED can also take the form of
either infinite resistance (or for some LEDs, a zener diode), which
is integrated into the device in parallel with the now opened LED.
For basic LEDs (which do not have built-in zener diodes), an open
circuit failure of an LED will only result in the loss of one channel
of LEDs without affecting other channels. Similarly, a short circuit
condition on a channel that results in that channel being turned
off does not affect other channels unless a similar fault is
occurring.
Due to the lag in boost response to any load change at its output,
certain transient events (such as LED current steps or significant
step changes in LED duty cycle) can transiently look like LED
fault modes. The ISL97682, ISL97683, ISL97684 use feedback
from the LEDs to determine when it is in a stable operating
region and prevents apparent faults during these transient
events from allowing any of the LED stacks to fault out. See
Table 3 for more details.
Short Circuit Protection (SCP)
The short circuit detection circuit monitors the voltage on each
channel and disables faulty channels which are detected above
the programmed short circuit threshold. When an LED becomes
shorted, the action taken is described in Table 3. The short circuit
threshold is 4.4V.
Open Circuit Protection (OCP)
When one of the LEDs becomes open circuit, it can behave as
either an infinite resistance or a gradually increasing finite
resistance. The ISL97682, ISL97683, ISL97684 monitors the
current in each channel such that any string which reaches the
intended output current, is considered “good”. Should the current
subsequently fall below the target, the channel will be
considered an “open circuit”. Furthermore, should the boost
output of the ISL97682, ISL97683, ISL97684 reach the OVP
limit, all channels which are not “good” will immediately be
considered as “open circuit”. Detection of an “open circuit”
channel will result in a time-out before disabling of the affected
channel.
13
Some users employ some special types of LEDs that have zener
diode structure in parallel with the LED for ESD enhancement, thus
enabling open circuit operation. When this type of LED goes open
circuit, the effect is as if the LED forward voltage has increased,
but no light is emitted. Any affected string will not be disabled,
unless the failure results in the boost OVP limit being reached,
allowing all other LEDs in the string to remain functional. Care
should be taken in this case that the boost OVP limit and SCP limit
are set properly, in order to assure that multiple failures on one
string do not cause all other good channels to be faulted out. This
is due to the increased forward voltage of the faulty channel
making all other channels look as if they have LED shorts. See
Table 3 for details for responses to fault conditions.
Overvoltage Protection (OVP)
The integrated OVP circuit monitors the output voltage and keeps
the voltage at a safe level. The OVP threshold is set as Equation 9:
OVP = 1.22V × ( R UPPER + R LOWER ) ⁄ R LOWER
(EQ. 9)
These resistors should be large to minimize the power loss. For
example, a 1MkΩ RUPPER and 30kΩ RLOWER sets OVP to 41.2V.
Large OVP resistors also allow COUT discharges slowly during the
PWM Off time. Parallel capacitors should also be placed across
the OVP resistors such that RUPPER/RLOWER = CLOWER/CUPPER.
Using a CUPPER value of at least 30pF is recommended. These
capacitors reduce the AC impedance of the OVP node, which is
important when using high value resistors.
Undervoltage Lockout
If the input voltage falls below the UVLO level of 2.5V, the device
will stop switching and be reset. Operation will restart only if the
device is re-powered and re-enabled once the input voltage is
back in the normal operating range.
Over-Temperature Protection (OTP)
The ISL97682, ISL97683, ISL97684 over-temperature protection
threshold is set to +150°C. Each time this is reached, the boost
will stop switching and the output current sources will be
switched off.
For the extensive fault protection conditions, please refer to
Figure 25 and Table 3 for details.

Components Selections
According to the inductor Voltage-Second Balance principle, the
change of inductor current during the switching regulator
On-time is equal to the change of inductor current during the
switching regulator Off-time. Since the voltage across an inductor
is as shown in Equation 10:
V L = L × ΔI L ⁄ Δt
(EQ. 10)
and ΔIL @ On = ΔIL @ Off, therefore:
( V I – 0 ) ⁄ L × D × tS = ( VO – V D – VI ) ⁄ L × ( 1 – D ) × tS
(EQ. 11)
where D is the switching duty cycle defined by the turn-on time
over the switching periods. VD is a Schottky diode forward
voltage that can be neglected for approximation.
Rearranging the terms without accounting for VD gives the boost
ratio and duty cycle as Equations 12 and 13:
VO ⁄ VI = 1 ⁄ ( 1 – D )
(EQ. 12)
D = ( VO – VI ) ⁄ VO
(EQ. 13)
Input Capacitor
Switching regulators require input capacitors to deliver peak
charging current and to reduce the impedance of the input
supply. This reduces interaction between the regulator and input
supply, thereby improving system stability. The high switching
frequency of the loop causes almost all ripple current to flow in
the input capacitor, which must be rated accordingly.
A capacitor with low internal series resistance should be chosen
to minimize heating effects and improve system efficiency, such
as X5R or X7R ceramic capacitors, which offer small size and a
lower value of temperature and voltage coefficient compared to
other ceramic capacitors.
It is recommended that an input capacitor of at least 10µF be
used. Ensure the voltage rating of the input capacitor is suitable
to handle the full supply range.
Inductor
The selection of the inductor should be based on its maximum
and saturation current (ISAT) characteristics, power dissipation
(DCR), EMI susceptibility (shielded vs unshielded), and size.
Inductor type and value influence many key parameters,
15
including ripple current, current limit, efficiency, transient
performance and stability.
The inductor’s maximum current capability must be adequate
enough to handle the peak current at the worst case condition.
Additionally if an inductor core is chosen with too low a current
rating, saturation in the core will cause the effective inductor
value to fall, leading to an increase in peak to average current
level, poor efficiency and overheating in the core. The series
resistance, DCR, within the inductor causes conduction loss and
heat dissipation. A shielded inductor is usually more suitable for
EMI susceptible applications, such as LED backlighting.
The peak current can be derived from the voltage across the
inductor during the Off-period, expressed in Equation 14:
IL peak = ( V O × I O ) ⁄ ( 85% × V I ) + 1 ⁄ 2 [ V I × ( V O – V I ) ⁄ ( L × V O × f SW ) ]
(EQ. 14)
The choice of 85% is just an average term for the efficiency
approximation. The first term is the average current, which is
inversely proportional to the input voltage. The second term is
the inductor current change, which is inversely proportional to L
and FSW as a result, for a given switching.
Applications
Low Voltage Operations
The ISL97682, ISL97683, ISL97684 VIN pin can be separately
biased from the LEDs power input to allow low voltage operation.
For systems that have only single supply, VOUT can be tied to the
driver VIN pin to allow initial start-up; see Figure 26. The circuit
works as follows; when the input voltage is available and the
device is not enabled, the VOUT follows VIN with a Schottky diode
voltage drop. The VOUT bootstrapped to VIN pin allows an initial
start-up once the part is enabled. Once the driver starts up with
VOUT regulating to the target, the VIN pin voltage also increases.
As long as the VOUT does not exceed 26.5V and the extra power
loss on VIN is acceptable, this configuration can be used for input
voltage as low as 3.0V. For systems where a single input supply
of 4V to 5.5V is available, the VIN pin can be shorted to VDC,
allowing a slight gain in efficiency due to bypassing the internal
LDO.
For systems that have dual supplies, the VIN pin can be biased
from 5V to 12V. The input voltage can be as low as 2.7V without
the limitations previously mentioned; see Figure 27.
