GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADP8860 combines a programmable backlight LED charge
pump driver with automatic phototransistor control. This combination allows for significant power savings because it changes the
current intensity in office and dark ambient light conditions. By
performing this function automatically, it eliminates the need for
a processor to monitor the phototransistor.
The light intensity thresholds are fully programmable via the
I2C® interface. A second phototransistor input, with dedicated
comparators, improves the ambient light detection levels for
various user operating conditions.
The ADP8860 allows as many as six LEDs to be independently
driven up to 30 mA (typical). A seventh LED can be driven to
60 mA (typical). All LEDs are programmable for minimum/maximum current and fade in/out times via the I2C interface. These
LEDs can also be combined into groups to reduce the processor
instructions during fade in/out.
Driving this entire configuration is a two-capacitor charge pump
with gains of 1×, 1.5×, and 2×. This setup is capable of driving a
maximum IOUT of 240 mA from a supply of 2.5 V to 5.5 V. The
device includes a variety of safety features including short-circuit,
overvoltage, and overtemperature protection. These features
allow easy implementation of a safe and robust design. Additionally, input inrush currents are limited via an integrated soft
start combined with controlled input-to-output isolation.
The ADP8860 is available in two package types, either a compact
2 mm × 2.4 mm × 0.6 mm WLCSP (wafer level chip scale package)
or a small LFCSP (lead frame chip scale package).

θJA (junction to air) is specified for the worst-case conditions,
that is, a device soldered in a circuit board for surface-mount
packages. The θJA, θJB (junction to board), and θJC (junction to
case) are determined according to JESD51-9 on a 4-layer
printed circuit board (PCB) with natural convection cooling.
For the LFCSP package, the exposed pad must be soldered to
the GND1 and/or GND2 terminal(s) on the board.

N/A means not applicable.
ESD CAUTION
Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress
rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any
other conditions above those indicated in the operational
section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.
Absolute maximum ratings apply individually only, not in
combination. Unless otherwise specified, all voltages are
referenced to GND.
MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE RANGES
The maximum operating junction temperature (TJ(MAX))
supersedes the maximum operating ambient temperature
(TA(MAX)). Therefore, in situations where the ADP8860 is
exposed to poor thermal resistance and a high power
dissipation (PD), the maximum ambient temperature may need
to be derated. In these cases, the ambient temperature
maximum can be calculated with the following equation:
TA(MAX) = TJ(MAX) − (θJA × PD(MAX))

ADP8860
THEORY OF OPERATION
The ADP8860 allows up to seven LEDs to be independently
driven up to 30 mA (typical). The seventh LED can also be
driven to 60 mA (typical). All LEDs can be individually programmed or combined into a group to operate backlight LEDs.
A full set of safety features including short-circuit, overvoltage,
and overtemperature protection with input-to-output isolation
allow for a robust and safe design. The integrated soft start
limits inrush currents at startup, restart attempts, and gain
transitions.
The ADP8860 combines a programmable backlight LED charge
pump driver with automatic phototransistor control. This combination allows for significant power savings because it is able to
change the current intensity based on the lighting conditions. It
performs this function automatically thereby removing the
need for a processor to monitor the phototransistor. The light
intensity levels are fully programmable via the I2C interface. A
second phototransistor input, with dedicated comparators,
improves the ambient light detection abilities for various useroperating conditions.

CONVERSION
ADP8860
POWER STAGE
Because typical white LEDs require up to 4 V to drive them,
some form of boosting is required over the typical variation in
battery voltage. The ADP8860 accomplishes this with a high
efficiency charge pump capable of producing a maximum IOUT
of 240 mA over the entire input voltage range (2.5 V to 5.5 V).
Charge pumps use the basic principle that a capacitor stores
charge based on the voltage applied to it, as shown in the
following equation:
Q=C×V
(1)
By charging the capacitors in different configurations, the
charge, and therefore the gain, can be optimized to deliver
the voltage required to power the LEDs. Because a fixed
charging and discharging combination must be used, only
certain multiples of gain are available. The ADP8860 is capable
of automatically optimizing the gain (G) from 1×, 1.5×, and 2×.
These gains are accomplished with two capacitors (labeled C1
and C2 in Figure 26) and an internal switching network.
In G = 1× mode, the switches are configured to pass VIN
directly to VOUT. In this mode, several switches are connected
in parallel to minimize the resistive drop from input to output.
In G = 1.5× and 2× modes, the switches alternatively charge
from the battery and discharge into the output. For G = 1.5×,
the capacitors are charged from VIN in series and are discharged
to VOUT in parallel. For G = 2×, the capacitors are charged
from VIN in parallel and are discharged to VOUT in parallel. In
certain fault modes, the switches are opened and the output is
physically isolated from the input.
Automatic Gain Selection
Each LED that is driven requires a current source. The voltage
on this current source must be greater than a minimum headroom voltage (200 mV typical) to maintain accurate current
regulation. The gain is automatically selected based on the
minimum voltage (VDx) at all of the current sources. At startup,
the device is placed into G = 1× mode and the output charges
to VIN. If any VDx level is less than the required headroom
(200 mV), the gain is increased to the next step (G = 1.5×).
A 100 μs delay is allowed for the output to stabilize prior to
the next gain switching decision. If there remains insufficient
current sink headroom, then the gain is increased again to 2×.
Conversely, to optimize efficiency, it is not desirable for the
output voltage to be too high. Therefore, the gain reduces when
the headroom voltage is great enough. This point (labeled
VDMAX in Figure 27) is internally calculated to ensure that the
lower gain still results in ample headroom for all the current
sinks. The entire cycle is illustrated in Figure 27.
Note that the gain selection criteria apply only to active current
sources. If current sources have been deactivated through an
I2C command (for example, only five LEDs are used), then the
voltages on the deactivated current sources are ignored.

Soft Start Feature
Shutdown Mode
At startup (either from UVLO activation or fault/standby
recovery), the output is first charged by ISS (3.75 mA typical)
until it reaches about 92% of VIN. This soft start feature reduces
the inrush current that is otherwise present when the output
capacitance is initially charged to VIN. When this point is
reached, the controller enters 1× mode. If the output voltage is
not sufficient, then the automatic gain selection determines the
optimal point as defined in the Automatic Gain Selection section.
Shutdown mode disables all circuitry, including the I2C receivers.
Shutdown occurs when VIN is below the undervoltage thresholds.
When VIN rises above VIN(START) (2.05 V typical), all registers are
reset and the part is placed into standby mode.
OPERATING MODES
There are four different operating modes: active, standby,
shutdown, and reset.
Reset Mode
In reset mode, all registers are set to their default values and the
part is placed into standby. There are two ways to reset the part:
power-on reset (POR) and the nRST pin. POR is activated anytime that the part exits shutdown mode. After a POR sequence
is complete, the part automatically enters standby mode.
After startup, the part can be reset by pulling the nRST pin low.
As long as the nRST pin is low, the part is held in a standby state
but no I2C commands are acknowledged (all registers are kept
at their default values). After releasing the nRST pin, all registers
remain at their default values, and the part remains in standby;
however, the part does accept I2C commands.
Active Mode
In active mode, all circuits are powered up and in a fully
operational state. This mode is entered when nSTBY (in
Register MDCR) is set to 1.
Standby Mode
Standby mode disables all circuitry except for the I2C receivers.
Current consumption is reduced to less than 1 μA. This mode is
entered when nSTBY is set to 0 or when the nRST pin is held
low for more than 100 μs (maximum). When standby is exited,
a soft start sequence is performed.
The nRST pin has a 50 μs (typical) noise filter to prevent inadvertent activation of the reset function. The nRST pin must be
held low for this entire time to activate reset.
The operating modes function according to the timing diagram
in Figure 28.

By default, the backlight operates at daylight level (BLV = 00),
where the maximum brightness is set using Register 0x09
(BLMX1). A daylight dim setting can also be set using
Register 0x0A (BLDM1). When operating at office level (BLV =
01), the backlight maximum and dim brightness settings are set
by Register 0x0B (BLMX2) and Register 0x0C (BLDM2). When
operating at the dark level (BLV = 10), the backlight maximum
and dim brightness settings are set by Register 0x0D (BLMX3)
and Register 0x0E (BLDM3).
BACKLIGHT OPERATING LEVELS
Backlight brightness control operates in three distinct levels:
daylight (L1), office (L2), and dark (L3). The BLV bits in
Register 0x04 control the specific level in which the backlight
operates. These bits can be changed manually, or if in automatic
mode (CMP_AUTOEN is set high in Register 0x01), by the
ambient light sensor (see the Ambient Light Sensing section).

BACKLIGHT MAXIMUM AND DIM SETTINGS
Table 5. Available Fade In and Fade Out Rates
The backlight maximum and dim current settings are determined by a 7-bit code programmed by the user into the
registers previously listed in the Backlight Operating Levels
section. The 7-bit resolution allows the user to set the backlight
to one of 128 different levels between 0 mA and 30 mA. The
ADP8860 can implement two distinct algorithms to achieve a
linear and a nonlinear relationship between input code and
backlight current. The law bits in Register 0x04 are used to
change between these algorithms.

By default, the ADP8860 uses a linear algorithm (law = 00),
where the backlight current increases linearly for a
corresponding increase of input code. Backlight current (in
millamperes) is determined by the following equation:
Backlight Current (mA) = Code × (Full-Scale Current/127) (2)
where:
Code is the input code programmed by the user.
Full-Scale Current is the maximum sink current allowed per
LED (typically 30 mA).
The ADP8860 can also implement a nonlinear (square approximation) relationship between input code and backlight current
level. In this case (law = 01), the backlight current (in
milliamperes) is determined by the following equation:
⎛
Full − Scale Current
Backlight Current (mA) = ⎜ Code ×
⎜

⎝
The fade profile is based on the transfer law selected (linear,
square, Cubic 10, or Cubic 11) and the delta between the actual
current and the target current. Smaller changes in current
reduce the fade time. For linear and square law fades, the fade
time is given by
Fade Time = Fade Rate × (Code/127)

where the Fade Rate is shown in Table 5.
The Cubic 10 and Cubic 11 laws also use the square backlight
currents in Equation 3; however, the time between each step is
varied to produce a steeper slope at higher currents and a
shallower slope at lighter currents (see Figure 31).

The LED drivers are easily configured for automated fade in
and fade out. Sixteen fade in and fade out rates can be selected
via the I2C interface. Fade in and fade out rates range from
0.1 sec to 5.5 sec (per full-scale current, either 30 mA or 60 mA).
BACKLIGHT TURN ON/TURN OFF/DIM
With the device in active mode (nSTBY = 1), the backlight can
be turned on using the BL_EN bit in Register 0x01. Before
turning on the backlight, the user chooses which level (daylight
(L1), office (L2), or dark (L3)) in which to operate, and ensures
that maximum and dim settings are programmed for that level.

A fade override feature (FOVR in Register CFGR (0x04)) enables
the host to override the preprogrammed fade in or fade out
settings. If FOVR is set and the backlight is enabled in the
middle of a fade out process, the backlight instantly (within
approximately 100 ms) returns to its maximum setting. Alternatively, if the backlight is fading in, reasserting BL_EN overrides
the programmed fade in time and the backlight instantly goes
to its final fade value. This is useful for situations where a key
is pressed during a fade sequence. However, if FOVR is cleared
and the backlight is enabled in the middle of a fade process, the
backlight gradually brightens from where it was interrupted (it
does not go down to 0 and then come back on).

The ADP8860 integrates two ambient light sensing comparators.
One of the ambient light sensing comparator pins (CMP_IN)
is always available. The second pin (D6/CMP_IN2) can be
activated rather than connecting an LED to D6. Activating
the CMP_IN2 function of the pin is accomplished through
Bit CMP2_SEL in Register CFGR. Therefore, when Bit CMP2_SEL
is set to 0, Pin D6/CMP_IN2 is programmed as a current sink.
When Bit CMP2_SEL is set to 1, Pin D6/CMP_IN2 becomes
the input for a second phototransistor.

Note that the full-scale value of the L2_TRP and L2_HYS
registers is 250 (decimal). Therefore, if the value of L2_TRP +
L2_HYS exceeds 250, the comparator output is unable to
deassert. For example, if L2_TRP is set at 204 (80% of the fullscale value, or approximately 0.80 × 1080 μA = 864 μA), then
L2_HYS must be set at less than 46 (250 − 204 = 46). If it is not,
then the L2_HYS + L2_TRP exceeds 250 and the L2_CMPR
comparator is never allowed to go low.

to determine which of the comparator outputs to use, selecting
Bit SEL_AB in Register 0x04 for automatic light sensing
transitions. For example, the user’s software may select the
comparator of the phototransistor exposed to higher light
intensity to control the transition between the programmed
backlight intensity levels.
The L2_CMPR and L3_CMPR comparators can be enabled
independently of each other, or can operate simultaneously. A
single conversion from each ADC takes 80 ms (typical). When
CMP_AUTOEN is set for automatic backlight adjustment (see
the Automatic Backlight Adjustment section), the ADC and
comparators run continuously. If the backlight is disabled and
at least one independent sink is enabled, it is possible to use the
light sensor comparators in a single shot mode. A single shot
read of the photocomparators is performed by setting the
FORCE_RD bit. After the single shot measurement is completed,
the internal state machine clears the FORCE_RD bit.
The interrupt flags (CMP_INT and CMP_INT2) can be used to
notify the system when either L2 or L3 changes state. Refer to
the Interrupts section for more information.
AUTOMATIC BACKLIGHT ADJUSTMENT
The ambient light sensor comparators can automatically
transition the backlight between one of its three operating
levels. To enable this mode, set the CMP_AUTOEN bit in
Register 0x01.
When enabled, the internal state machine takes control of the
BLV bits and changes them based on the L2_OUT and L3_OUT
status bits. When L2_OUT is set high, it indicates that the
ambient light conditions have dropped below the L2_TRP point
and the backlight should move to its office (L2) level. When
L3_OUT is set high, it indicates that ambient light conditions
have dropped below the L3_TRP point and the backlight should
move to its dark (L3) level. Table 6 shows the relationship
between backlight operation and the ambient light sensor
comparator outputs.
The L3_OUT status bit has greater priority; therefore, the
backlight operates at L3 (dark) even if L2_OUT is set.
Filter times of between 80 ms and 10 sec can be programmed
for the comparators (Register 0x1B and Register 0x1C) before
they change state.

INDEPENDENT SINK CONTROL
Each of the seven LEDs can be configured (in Register 0x05) to
operate as either part of the backlight or to operate as an independent sink current (ISC). Each ISC can be enabled independently
and has its own current level. All ISCs share the same fade in
rates, fade out rates, and fade law.
The ISCs have additional timers to facilitate blinking functions.
A shared on timer (SCON) used in conjunction with the off
timers of each ISC (SC1OFF, SC2OFF, SC3OFF, SC4OFF,
SC5OFF, SC6OFF, and SC7OFF) allow the LED current sinks to
be configured in various blinking modes. The on timer can be
set to four different settings: 0.2 sec, 0.6 sec, 0.8 sec, and 1.2 sec.
The off timers have four different settings: disabled, 0.6 sec,
1.2 sec, and 1.8 sec. Blink mode is activated by setting the off
timers to any setting other than disabled.

voltage, the ADP8860 detects when the output voltage rises to
VOUT(REG). It then increases the effective ROUT of the gain stage to
reduce the voltage that is delivered. This effectively regulates
VOUT to VOUT(REG); however, there is a limit to the effect that this
system can have on regulating VOUT. It is designed only for normal
operation and it is not intended to protect against faults or sudden
load changes. When the output voltage is regulated to VOUT(REG)
no interrupt is set and the operation is transparent to the LEDs
and the overall application.

SHORT-CIRCUIT PROTECTION MODE
The ADP8860 can protect against short circuits on the output
(VOUT). Short-circuit protection (SCP) is activated at the point
when VOUT < 55% of VIN. Note that this SCP sensing is disabled
during both start-up and restart attempts (fault recovery). SCP
sensing reenables 4 ms (typical) after activation. During a shortcircuit fault, the device enters a low current consumption state
and an interrupt flag is set. The device can be restarted at any
time after receiving a short-circuit fault by simply rewriting
nSTBY = 1. It then repeats another complete soft start sequence.
Note that the value of the output capacitance (COUT) should be
small enough to allow VOUT to reach approximately 55%
(typical) of VIN within the 4 ms (typical) time. If COUT is too
large, the device inadvertently enters short-circuit protection.
OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION
Overvoltage protection (OVP) is implemented on the output.
There are two types of overvoltage events: normal (no fault) and
abnormal (from a fault or sudden load change).
Normal Overvoltage
In a normal (no fault) overvoltage, the output voltage approaches
VOUT(REG) (4.9 V typical) during normal operation. This is not
caused by a fault or load change, but it is simply a consequence
of the input voltage times the gain reaching the same level as the
clamped output voltage (VOUT(REG)). To prevent this type of over-
Because of the open-loop behavior of the charge pump as well
as how the gain transitions are computed, a sudden load change
or fault can abnormally force VOUT beyond 6 V. This causes an
abnormal overvoltage situation. If the event happens slowly
enough, the system first tries to regulate the output to 4.9 V as
in a normal overvoltage scenario. However, if this is not
sufficient, or if the event happens too quickly, then the
ADP8860 enters overvoltage protection (OVP) mode when
VOUT exceeds the OVP threshold (typically 5.8 V). In the OVP
mode, only the charge pump is disabled to prevent VOUT from
rising too high. The current sources and all other device
functionality remain intact. When the output voltage falls by
about 500 mV (to 5.3 V typical), the charge pump resumes
operation. If the fault or load step recurs, the process may
repeat. An interrupt flag is set at each OVP instance.
THERMAL SHUTDOWN/OVERTEMPERATURE
PROTECTION
If the die temperature of the ADP8860 rises above a safe limit
(150°C typical), the controllers enter thermal shutdown (TSD)
protection mode. In this mode, most of the internal functions
shut down, the part enters standby, and the TSD_INT interrupt
is set. When the die temperature decreases below ~130°C, the
part can be restarted. To restart the part, simply remove it from
standby. No interrupt is generated when the die temperature
falls below 130°C. However, if the software clears the pending
TSD_INT interrupt and the temperature remains above 130°C,
another interrupt is generated.
The complete state machine for these faults (SCP, OVP, and
TSD) is shown in Figure 42.

INTERRUPTS
There are five interrupt sources available on the ADP8860.
•
•
Main light sensor comparator: CMP_INT sets every time
the main light sensor comparator detects a threshold (L2
or L3) transition (rising or falling conditions).
Sensor Comparator 2: CMP2_INT interrupt works the
same way as CMP_INT, except the sensing input derives
from the second light sensor. The programmable thresholds
are the same as the main light sensor comparator.
•
•
Overvoltage protection: OVP_INT is generated when the
output voltage exceeds 5.8 V (typical).
Thermal shutdown circuit: An interrupt (TSD_INT) is
generated when entering overtemperature protection.
Short-circuit detection: SHORT_INT is generated when
the device enters short-circuit protection mode.
The interrupt (if any) that appears on the nINT pin is determined by the bits mapped in Register INTR_EN. To clear an
interrupt, write a 1 to the interrupt in the MDCR2 register or
reset the part. Reading the interrupt, or writing a 0, has no effect.

ADP8860
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The ADP8860 allows the charge pump to operate efficiently
with a minimum of external components. Specifically, the user
must select an input capacitor (CIN), output capacitor (COUT),
and two charge pump fly capacitors (C1 and C2). CIN should be
1 μF or greater. The value must be high enough to produce a
stable input voltage signal at the minimum input voltage and
maximum output load. A 1 μF capacitor for COUT is recommended.
Larger values are permissible, but care must be exercised to
ensure that VOUT charges above 55% (typical) of VIN within
4 ms (typical). See the Short-Circuit Protection Mode section
for more details.
For best practice, it is recommended that the two charge pump
fly capacitors be 1 μF; larger values are not recommended and
smaller values may reduce the ability of the charge pump to
deliver maximum current. For optimal efficiency, the charge
pump fly capacitors should have low equivalent series resistance
(ESR). Low ESR X5R or X7R capacitors are recommended for
all four components. Use voltage ratings of 10 V or greater for
these capacitors.
If one or both ambient light sensor comparator inputs (CMP_IN
and D6/CMP_IN2) are used, a small capacitor (0.1 μF is
recommended) must be connected from the input to ground.
Any color of LED can be used if the Vf (forward voltage) is less
than 4.1 V. However, using lower Vf LEDs reduces the input
power consumption by allowing the charge pump to operate at
lower gain states.
The equivalent circuit model for a charge pump is shown in
Figure 43.
VOUT is also equal to the largest Vf of the LEDs that are used
plus the voltage drop across the regulating current source. This
gives
VOUT = Vf(MAX) + VDx
Combining Equation 5 and Equation 6 gives
VIN = (Vf(MAX) + VDx + IOUT × ROUT(G))/G
Determining the Transition Point of the Charge Pump
Consider the following design example where:
Vf(MAX) = 3.7 V
IOUT = 140 mA (7 LEDs at 20 mA each)
ROUT (G = 1.5×) = 3 Ω (obtained from Figure 13)
At the point of a gain transition, VDx = VHR(UP), Table 1 gives the
typical value of VHR(UP) as 0.2 V. Therefore, the input voltage
level when the gain transitions from 1.5× to 2× is
VIN = (3.7 V + 0.2 V + 140 mA × 3 Ω)/1.5 = 2.88 V

The input voltage is multiplied by the gain (G) and delivered to
the output through an effective resistance (ROUT). The output
current flows through ROUT and produces an IR drop to yield
VOUT = G ×VIN − IOUT × ROUT(G)
(5)
The ROUT term is a combination of the RDSON resistance for the
switches used in the charge pump and a small resistance that
accounts for the effective dynamic charge pump resistance. The
ROUT level changes based upon the gain (the configuration of the
switches). Typical ROUT values are given in Table 1 and Figure 13
and Figure 14.

This equation is useful for calculating approximate bounds for
the charge pump design.

For optimal noise immunity, place the CIN and COUT
capacitors as close as possible to their respective pins.
These capacitors should share a short ground trace. If the
LEDs are a significant distance from the VOUT pin, another
capacitor on VOUT, placed closer to the LEDs, is advisable.
For optimal efficiency, place the charge pump fly capacitors
as close to the part as possible.
The ADP8860 does not distinguish between power ground
and analog ground. Therefore, both ground pins can be
connected directly together. It is recommended that these
ground pins be connected at the ground for the input and
output capacitors.
If using the LFCSP package, the exposed pad must be
soldered at the board to the GND1 and/or GND2 pin(s).
Unused diode pins (Pin D1 to Pin D7) can be connected to
ground, VOUT, or remain floating. However, the unused
diode current sinks must be disabled by setting them as
independent sinks in Register 0x05 and then disabling
them in Register 0x10. If they are not disabled, the charge
pump efficiency may suffer.
If the CMP_IN phototransistor input is not used, it can be
connected to ground or remain floating.
If the interrupt pin (nINT) is not used, connect it to
ground or leave it floating. Never connect it to a voltage
supply, except through a ≥1 kΩ series resistor.

bypass capacitor on this pin. If the nRST pin is not used, it must
be pulled well above the VIH(MIN) level (see Table 1). Do not allow
the nRST pin to float.
The ADP8860 has an integrated noise filter on the nRST
pin. Under normal conditions, it is not necessary to filter
the reset line. However, if exposed to an unusually noisy
signal, then it is beneficial to add a small RC filter or

Backlight fade out rate. If the fade out is disabled (BL_FO = 0000), the backlight changes instantly (within 100 ms). If the
fade out rate is set, the backlight fades from its current value to the dim or the off value. The times listed for BL_FO are
for a full-scale fade out (30 mA to 0 mA). Fades between closer current values reduce the fade time. See the Automated

Backlight fade in rate. If the fade in is disabled (BL_FI = 0000), the backlight changes instantly (within 100 ms). If the
fade in rate is set, the backlight fades from its current value to its maximum when the backlight is turned on. The times
listed for BL_FI are for a full-scale fade in (0 mA to 30 mA). Fades between closer current values reduce the fade time.
See the Automated Fade In and Fade Out section for more information.
