Description
The FAN5609 generates regulated output current from a
battery with input voltage varying between 2.7V to 5.5V.
Switch reconfiguration and fractional switching techniques
are utilized to achieve high efficiency over the entire input
voltage range. A proprietary internal circuitry continuously
monitors each LED current loop and automatically adjusts
the generated output DC voltage to the lowest minimum
value required by the LED having the highest forward
voltage. This adaptive nature of the FAN5609 eliminates the
need for LED pre-selection (matching) and ensures operation at high efficiency. When the input voltage is sufficiently
high to sustain the programmed current level in the LEDs,
the FAN5609 re-configures itself to operate as a linear
regulator, and the DC-DC converter is turned off. An internal
two-bit digital to analog converter provides programmability
of the output currents. Only two 0.1µF bucket capacitors and
two 4.7µF input/output capacitors are needed for proper
operation.
Soft-start circuitry prevents excessive current draw during
power on. The device has built-in short circuit protection.

Circuit Description
The FAN5609’s switched capacitor DC/DC converter automatically configures its internal switches to achieve high efficiency and to provide tightly regulated output currents for
the LEDs. An analog detector determines which diode
requires the highest voltage in order to sustain the pre-set
current levels, and adjusts the pump regulator accordingly.
Every diode has its own linear current regulator. In addition,
a voltage regulator controls the output voltage when the battery voltage is within a range where linear regulation can
provide maximum possible efficiency. If the battery voltage
is too low to sustain the diode current in the linear mode,
a fractional 3:2 charge pump is enabled. When the battery
voltage drops further and this mode is no longer sufficient to
sustain proper operation, the pump is automatically reconfigured to operate in 2:1 mode. As the battery discharges and
4
the voltage decays, the FAN5609 switches between modes to
maintain a constant current through LED throughout the battery life. The transition has hysteresis to prevent toggling.
Supply Voltage
The internal supply voltage for the device is automatically
selected from VIN or VOUT pins, whichever is higher.
Soft Start
The soft-start circuit limits inrush current when the device is
initially powered up and enabled. The reference voltage controls the rate of the output voltage ramp-up to its final value.
Typical start-up time is 1ms. The rate of the output voltage
ramp-up is controlled by an internally generated slow ramp,
and an internal variable resistor limits the input current.

Shutdown and Short Circuit Current Limit
Set both DAC inputs low to shut down the device. Built-in
short circuit protection limits the supply current to a maximum of 50mA.
Digital Control
A digital-to-analog converter (DAC) allows selection of the
following modes: OFF, 7mA, 14mA, 20mA, per diode.
By turning the IN B pin ON and OFF, the current can be
modulated between 7 to 20mA to achieve any IAverage value
(PWM). In PWM mode, the modulating frequency has to be
set sufficiently high in order to avoid a flickering effect
(100Hz to 1kHz).
A

Any input can be modulated by a pulse train of variable duty
cycle (δ). By turning ON and OFF DAC inputs A or B, the
current can be continuously modulated to any average value
between 1 to 19mA. For a maximum range of LED current,
both A&B can be modulated at the same time.

Application Information
It is important to select the appropriate capacitor types and
the values for use with the FAN5609. These capacitors
determine parameters such as power efficiency, maximum
sustainable load current by the charge pump, input and
output ripple and start-up time.
CAP1 and CAP2 control the current capability of the charge
pump and affect the overall efficiency of the system. A lower
value will improve efficiency, but it may limit the LED’s
currents at low input voltage. A capacitor of 100nF is optimal for 4 × 20 mA load over the entire input voltage range of
2.7V to 4.2V. To save space and cost, and to increase efficiency, this value may be reduced to 10nF for loads less than
4 x 7mA.
In order to reduce ripple, both CIN and COUT should be low
ESR capacitor. Increasing the COUT capacitor reduces the output ripple voltage. However this will increase the power-on
time. The CIN value controls input ripple. If necessary, this
ripple can be further reduced by powering the FAN5609
through a very small series inductor filter, as shown in Figure 3.
Pulse-Width-Modulated (PWM) Mode
Conversion errors are minimized and the best LED to LED
matching is achieved over the entire range of average current
settings, when PWM brightness control is used to modulate
the LED current between zero and the maximum value
(A=1, B=1).
