MAX1582
General Description
The MAX1582 drives up to six white LEDs in series with
a constant current to provide display backlighting for
two (main and sub-) displays in cell phones and other
hand-held devices. This configuration eliminates the
need for ballast resistors and expensive factory calibration. The proprietary dual-output, step-up pulse-width
modulation (PWM) converter includes a 30V, low RDSON
N-channel MOSFET switch for high efficiency and maximum battery life.
The MAX1582 utilizes 1MHz current-mode PWM control
to allow small input and output capacitors and a small
inductor, while minimizing ripple on the input supply and
avoiding interference to sensitive circuitry in the equipment. Integrated overvoltage protection eliminates the
need for an external zener diode to protect the IC from
open circuit. Flexible dimming control utilizes either an
analog control signal or direct digital PWM control without external RC filtering. This also increases dimming
accuracy at low brightness levels. The PWM dimming
signal can be any frequency from 200Hz to 200kHz.
Soft-start eliminates inrush current during startup.

Detailed Description
The MAX1582’s high efficiency and small size make it
ideally suited to drive up to six series-connected LEDs.
Separate enable inputs are provided to control the main
and subdisplay backlighting. The MAX1582 operates as
a boost DC-to-DC converter that regulates output current
rather than voltage. It provides even illumination by sourcing the same output current through each LED, eliminating the need for expensive factory calibration. The fast
1MHz internal oscillator allows for a small inductor and
small input and output capacitors while minimizing input
and output ripple.
6
Shutdown for Main and Subdisplay
The MAX1582 has two enable inputs (EN1 and EN2)
used to enable or shutdown the main and subdisplay
LEDs. When EN1 and EN2 are both high, all LEDs are
lit. With EN1 high and EN2 low, the main-display LEDs
are lit, and the subdisplay LEDs are shorted by the
MAX1582. With EN1 low and EN2 high, the main-display
LEDs are shorted and the subdisplay LEDs are lit.
When both EN1 and EN2 are low, the MAX1582 enters
shutdown, reducing supply current to 0.01µA (typ).
Although the internal N-channel MOSFET does not
switch in shutdown, there is still a DC-current path
_______________________________________________________________________________________
High-Efficiency, 26V Step-Up Converter
for White LED Main and Subdisplay Backlighting
Soft-Start
The MAX1582 attains soft-start by charging CCOMP
gradually with a current source. When VCOMP rises
above 1.25V, the internal MOSFET begins switching,
but at a reduced duty cycle. When VCOMP rises above
2.25V, the duty cycle is at its maximum.
Capacitor Selection
The exact values of input and output capacitors are not
critical. The typical value for the input capacitor is
2.2µF, and the typical value for the output capacitor is
0.1µF. Larger value capacitors can be used to reduce
input and output ripple, but at the expense of size and
higher cost.
CCOMP stabilizes the converter and controls soft-start.
Connect a 0.022µF capacitor from COMP to GND. The
minimum value for CCOMP is COUT / 10. The soft-start
time is found from:
 1.25V 
t SS = CCOMP × 

 5µA 
Overvoltage Protection
OVLO occurs when VOUT1 rises above 27V. The protection circuitry stops the internal MOSFET from switching
and causes V COMP to decay to GND. The device
comes out of OVLO and into soft-start when VOUT1 falls
below 25V.
Design Procedure
Adjusting LED Current
Adjusting the MAX1582’s output current changes the
brightness of the LEDs. The LED current is set by the
voltage at CTRL (VCTRL) and the sense-resistor value
(RSENSE):
ILED =
VCTRL
10 × RSENSE
The VCTRL voltage range for adjusting output current is
0 to +1.62V. To set the maximum current, calculate
RSENSE when VCTRL is at its maximum as follows:
RSENSE =
1.62
10 × ILED(MAX )
Power dissipation in RSENSE is typically less than 5mW;
therefore, a standard chip resistor is sufficient.
PWM Dimming Control
CTRL is also used as a digital input, allowing LED
brightness control with a logic-level PWM signal
applied directly to CTRL. The frequency range is from
200Hz to 200kHz, while 0% duty cycle corresponds to
zero current and 100% duty cycle corresponds to full
current. The error amplifier and compensation capacitor form a lowpass filter, so PWM dimming results in DC
current to the LEDs without any additional RC filters
required.
Inductor Selection
Recommended inductor values range from 10µH to
47µH. A 22µH inductor optimizes the efficiency for most
applications, while maintaining a low 15mVP-P input ripple. With input voltages near 5V, a larger value of inductance may be more efficient. To prevent core saturation,
ensure that the inductor saturation current rating exceeds
the peak inductor current for the application. Calculate
the peak inductor current with the following formula:
IPEAK ≅
VOUT1(MAX ) × ILED(MAX )
VIN(MIN) × 0.8µs
+
0.8 × VIN(MIN)
2 × L
Schottky Diode Selection
The MAX1582’s high switching frequency demands a
high-speed rectification diode (D1) for optimum
efficiency. A Schottky diode is recommended due to its
fast recovery time and low forward-voltage drop.
Ensure that the diode’s average and peak current
rating exceeds the average output current and peak
inductor current. In addition, the diode’s reverse breakdown voltage must exceed V OUT1 . The RMS diode
current can be calculated from:
IDIODE(RMS) ≅
IOUT1 × IPEAK
Applications Information
PC Board Layout
Due to fast-switching waveforms and high-current
paths, careful PC board layout is required. An evaluation kit (MAX1582EVKIT) is available to speed design.
_______________________________________________________________________________________

MAX1582
between the input and the LEDs through the inductor
and Schottky diode. To ensure the LEDs remain off
when the MAX1582 is in shutdown, the minimum input
forward voltage of the LED array must exceed the maximum input voltage. Typically, the leakage current
through the LEDs in shutdown is less than 1µA.
MAX1582
High-Efficiency, 26V Step-Up Converter
for White LED Main and Subdisplay Backlighting
When laying out a board, minimize trace lengths
between the IC and RSENSE, the inductor, the diode,
the input capacitor, and the output capacitor. Keep
traces short, direct, and wide. Keep noisy traces, such
as the LX node trace, away from CS. The input bypass
capacitor (CIN) should be placed as close to the IC as
possible. For the thin QFN package, PGND and GND
should be connected directly to the exposed paddle
underneath the IC. The ground connections of CIN and
COUT1 should be as close together as possible. The
traces from IN to the inductor and from the Schottky
diode to the LEDs can be longer.
