RT9285C
Preliminary
Tiny Package, High Performance, Diode Embedded White
LED Driver
General Description
Features
The RT9285C is a high frequency asynchronous boost
converter with internal diode, which can support 2 to 5
White LEDs for backlighting and OLED power supply. The
Internal soft start function can reduce the inrush current.
The device operates with 1MHz fixed switching frequency
to allow small external components and to simplify possible
EMI problems. The device comes with 20V over voltage
protection to allow inexpensive and small-output capacitors
with lower voltage rating. The LED current is initially set
with the external sense resistor RSET , and the feedback
voltage is 250 mV. Tiny package type TSOT-23-6,
XDFN-8L 2x2 and WDFN-8L 2x2 packages provide the best
solution for PCB space saving and total BOM cost.

Operation
Soft-Start
The Soft-Start function is made by clamping the output
voltage of error amplifier with another voltage source that
is increased slowly from zero to near VIN in the Soft-Start
period. Therefore, the duty cycle of the PWM will be
increased from zero to maximum in this period. The softstart time is decided by a timer of 1.5ms. The charging
time of the inductor will be limited as the smaller duty so
that the inrush current can be reduced to an acceptable
value.
Over Voltage Protection
The Over Voltage Protection is detected by a junction
breakdown detecting circuit. Once VOUT goes over the
detecting voltage, LX pin stops switching and the power
NMOS is turned off. Then, the VOUT is clamped to be near
VOVP.
LED Current Setting
The RT9285C regulates the LED current by setting the
current sense resistor (RSET ) connecting to feedback and
ground. The internal feedback reference voltage is 0.25V.
The LED current can be set from following equation easily.
ILED (mA) = 0.25/RSET
DS9285C-00 August 2007
In order to have an accurate LED current, precision resistors
are preferred (1% is recommended). The table for RSET
selection is shown below.

Digital Pulse Dimming Control
RT9285C implements the pulse dimming method being
used to control the brightness of white LEDs. There are
16 steps to set the current of white LEDs. The maximum
LED current is up to 20mA that is sufficient for most
application in backlight. The detail operation of brightness
dimming is showed in the Figure 1.
Current Limiting
The current flow through the inductor as charging period is
detected by a current sensing circuit. As the value over
the current limiting, the NMOS will be turned-off so that
the inductor will be forced to leave charging stage and
enter discharging stage. Therefore, the inductor current
will not increase over the current limiting.

RT9285C
Preliminary
Application Information
LED Current Control
Capacitor Selection
The RT9285C regulates the LED current by setting the
current sense resistor (RSET ) connecting to feedback and
ground. The RT9284A/B feedback voltage (VFB) is 0.25V.
The LED current (ILED) can be set by a resistor RSET .
Input and output ceramic capacitors of 1µF are recommended for RT9285C applications. For better voltage filtering,
ceramic capacitors with low ESR are recommended. X5R
and X7R types are suitable because of their wider voltage
and temperature ranges.
ILED = 0.25/RSET
In order to have an accurate LED current, a precision resistor
is preferred (1% is recommended).

Inductor Selection
The recommended value of inductor for 4 to 5WLEDs
applications are 10µH to 22µH. For 3W LEDs, the
recommended value of inductor is 4.7µH to 22µH. Small
size and better efficiency are the major concerns for portable
device, such as RT9285C used for mobile phone. The
inductor should have low core loss at 1MHz and low DCR
for better efficiency.
The inductor saturation current rating should be considered
to cover the inductor peak current.

temperature of the die (125°C) and TA is the maximum
ambient temperature. The junction to ambient thermal
resistance θJA is layout dependent. For XDFN/WDFN 2x2
packages, the thermal resistance θJA is 165蚓 /W on the
standard JEDEC 51-3 single layer thermal test board. The
maximum power dissipation at TA = 25°C can be calculated
by following formula:
PD(MAX) = (125°C − 25°C) / (165°C/W) = 0.606 W for WDFN/
XDFN 2x2 packages
PD(MAX) = (125°C − 25°C) / (255°C/W) = 0.392 W for TSOT23-6 packages
The maximum power dissipation depends on operating
ambient temperature for fixed T J (MAX) and thermal
resistance θJA. For RT9285C packages, the Figure 6 of
derating curves allows the designer to see the effect of
rising ambient temperature on the maximum power
allowed.

Thermal Considerations
For continuous operation, do not exceed absolute
maximum operation junction temperature. The maximum
power dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of
IC package, PCB layout, the rate of surroundings airflow
and temperature difference between junction to ambient.
The maximum power dissipation can be calculated by
following formula:
PD(MAX) = ( TJ(MAX) - TA ) / θJA
Where T J(MAX) is the maximum operation junction
temperature 125°C, TA is the ambient temperature and
the θJA is the junction to ambient thermal resistance.

RT9285C, where T J (MAX) is the maximum junction
