MAX8822
General Description
The MAX8822 drives up to four white light-emitting
diodes (LEDs) with regulated constant current for display backlighting in cell phones, digital cameras, PDAs,
and other handheld devices. By utilizing a proprietary
negative 0.5x inverting charge pump and innovative
independent low-dropout (LDO) adaptive current regulators, very high efficiency is achieved over the full
1-cell Li+ battery voltage range, even with large LED VF
mismatch. The 1MHz fixed-frequency switching allows
for tiny external components. The regulation scheme is
optimized to ensure low EMI and low input ripple. Two
200mA, low-noise, high power-supply-rejection-ratio
(PSRR) LDOs with programmable output voltages are
included on-chip to provide power to camera modules
or other devices.
The MAX8822 features a single-wire, serial-pulse controllogic interface that programs LED current and the output
voltages of the LDOs. The LED dimming range is pseudo-logarithmic from 24mA to 0.1mA in 31 steps. LDO
output voltages are programmable in 16 different combinations to meet various camera module requirements.

Limits are 100% production tested at TA = +25°C. Specifications over the operating temperature range are guaranteed by design.
Hold EN_ low for at least 2.5ms to guarantee shutdown.
Hold EN_ high for at least 2.5ms to latch EN count.
LED dropout voltage is defined as the LED_ to GND voltage when current into LED_ drops 10% from the value at VLED = 0.5V.
Guaranteed by design, not production tested.
LDO dropout voltage is defined as VIN - VOUT when VOUT has dropped 100mV below the initial value of VOUT when
VIN = VOUT + 0.8V.
Note 7: LDO output voltage corresponds to the LDO output voltage programmed by pulsing ENLDO low by the given count and
then holding ENLDO high for greater than tHOLD to set the voltage value. See Figure 2.

regulated constant current for display backlighting in cell
phones, cameras, PDAs, and other handheld devices.
The IC also includes two low-noise, high-PSRR, 200mA
LDOs for powering camera modules or other devices.
Figure 3 depicts the MAX8822 block diagram.
The MAX8822 IC utilizes a 0.5x inverting charge pump
and extremely low-dropout current regulators to
achieve high efficiency over the full 1-cell Li+ battery
8
voltage range. The charge pump remains inactive
unless the LED current regulators require additional
voltage to prevent them from entering dropout. To maximize efficiency, the current regulators operate with as
little as 150mV voltage drop. Additionally, each LED
current regulator is independently monitored and
switched, ensuring the least possible power consumption to extend battery life (see the Adaptive Current
Regulator Switchover section for details).

Figure 4. Current Regulator Returning to GND
The LED current and LDO output voltages are programmed using a serial-pulse control interface. Pulse
ENLED low (as discussed in the LED Dimming Control
section) to decrease the LED current from 24mA to
0.1mA, or hold ENLED low for at least 2.5ms to place the
LED current regulators in shutdown mode. LED dimming
is controlled in 31 pseudo-logarithmic steps. Pulse
ENLDO low (as discussed in the LDO1/LDO2 Output
Voltage Control section) to choose LDO1 and LDO2 output voltages from one of 16 combinations including off.
Drive both ENLED and ENLDO low for at least 2.5ms to
place the IC in low-power (0.5µA typ) shutdown mode.
The MAX8822 includes soft-start, thermal shutdown, and
open- and short-circuit protection.
Adaptive Current Regulator Switchover
When VIN is higher than the forward voltage of an LED
plus the 150mV (typ) dropout voltage of the current
regulator, the LED current returns through GND (Figure
4). If this condition is satisfied for all four WLEDs, the
charge pump remains inactive. When VIN drops such
that the current regulator voltage (VLED_) cannot be
maintained above the dropout voltage for any of the
individual LEDs, the charge pump activates and generates a voltage on NEG that is no greater than 5V (typ)
below VIN. For any current regulator that is detected at
the switchover threshold voltage of 150mV (typ, VIN
falling), internal circuitry switches that current regulator’s return path from GND to NEG to provide enough
voltage across that regulator to overcome dropout
(Figure 5). When VLED_ rises to 250mV (typ), the return
of that current regulator is switched back from NEG to
GND. Each current regulator is independently monitored to detect when switchover is required. Since the
LED current is switched for only the individual LED current regulators requiring higher voltage, power consumption is minimized.

LED Dimming Control
The MAX8822 uses a serial-pulse control interface to
program the intensity of the LEDs. The dimming range
is pseudo-logarithmic from 24mA to 0.1mA in 31 steps.
All active LED current regulators are programmed to
the same value, with a 1% (typ) current accuracy and
0.3% current matching between regulators. To program
the LED current, pulse ENLED (500ns to 500µs pulse
width), as shown in Figure 1. An internal register accumulates the pulse count on the rising edge of the
ENLED pulse. See Table 1 for the LED current values
and the corresponding ENLED pulse count. Once the
desired pulse count is met, hold ENLED high for at
least 2.5ms (tHOLD) to internally latch the pulse-count
value and enable the LED_ current at the programmed
level. If ENLED is pulsed more than 31 times before
latching, the pulse count restarts at 1 on the 32nd rising
edge. To program a new LED current level, follow the
previous sequence from the beginning. Drive ENLED
low for greater than 2.5ms (typ) to place the LED current regulators in shutdown. When the MAX8822 starts
up with ENLED high, the LEDs turn on at full brightness.
If dimming control is not required, ENLED works as a
simple on/off logic control. Drive ENLED high for at
least 2.5ms to enable the LED current regulators, or
drive ENLED low for at least 2.5ms for shutdown. The
LED drivers operate at 100% brightness and off under
these conditions.

Low LED Current Levels
The MAX8822 internally generates a PWM signal to
obtain higher resolution at lower currents. As LED current is set below 6.4mA, the IC adjusts not only LED DC
current, but the duty cycle is controlled by the PWM
signal. The frequency of the PWM dimming signal is set
at 1kHz with a minimum duty cycle of 1/16 to avoid the
LED flickering effect to human eyes. Table 2 shows the
current level and the corresponding duty cycle.

Similar to the LED dimming control structure, the
MAX8822 uses serial-pulse control to program the output voltages of LDO1 and LDO2 to one of sixteen different combinations. To program the LDO voltages, pulse
ENLDO low (500ns to 500µs pulse width), as shown in
Figure 2. An internal register accumulates the pulse
count on the rising edge of the ENLDO pulse. An initial
pulse (tINIT) is required to enable the LDOs from shutdown. See Table 3 for LDO voltage combinations and
the corresponding ENLDO pulse count. When the
desired pulse count is met, hold ENLDO high for at
least 2.5ms (tHOLD) to internally latch the pulse-count
value and program the LDO output voltages at the
desired level. If ENLDO is pulsed for more than 15
counts, LDO1 and LDO2 are off when the count is

For LED drivers, input ripple is more important than output ripple. The amount of input ripple depends on the
source supply’s output impedance. Add a lowpass filter
to the input of the MAX8822 to further reduce input ripple. Alternatively, increasing CIN reduces input ripple.

Power-Up LED Short Detection
and Open-Fault Protection
The MAX8822 contains special circuitry to detect an
LED_ short-circuit condition at startup only, and disables that current regulator to avoid wasting battery
power. If an LED fails short-circuit detection after startup, that current regulator continues current-regulated
operation until IC power is cycled and the short circuit
is detected during the subsequent startup.
An open-circuit LED failure drives the voltage on the
corresponding LED current-regulator output below the
switchover threshold, enabling the charge pump.
Applications Information
Using Fewer Than Four LEDs
The MAX8822 can operate with fewer than four LEDs.
Disable the unused current regulator by connecting
LED_ to IN. If an unused LED_ is not connected to IN,
the MAX8822 operates as if an open LED has been
detected. In this condition, the open-circuit LED_ drives
the voltage on the corresponding output below the
switchover threshold, enabling the charge pump.
Shutdown Mode
Component Selection
The MAX8822 features a shutdown mode to reduce
power consumption. Hold ENLED low for at least 2.5ms
to place the LEDs in shutdown. LED shutdown pulls
NEG to GND through a 10kΩ internal resistor. Hold
ENLDO low for at least 2.5ms to place the LDOs in
shutdown. LDO shutdown pulls LDO_ to GND through
a 1kΩ internal resistor. The MAX8822 consumes only
0.5µA of supply current when both the LED current regulators and LDOs are in shutdown mode.
Ceramic capacitors are recommended due to their small
size, low cost, and low ESR. Select ceramic capacitors
that maintain their capacitance over temperature and DC
bias. Capacitors with X5R or X7R temperature characteristics generally perform well. Recommended values are
shown in the Typical Operating Circuit. Using a larger
value input capacitor helps to reduce input ripple (see
the Input Ripple section).
LDO and LED Thermal Shutdown
The MAX8822 includes two thermal-limit circuits that
protect the IC from temperatures exceeding +160°C
(typ). The first circuit monitors the internal LED_ regulator temperature and shuts down the entire IC when the
temperature limit is violated. The second circuit monitors the internal LDO temperature and shuts down only
the LDOs when the temperature limit is violated. The
thermal-shutdown condition clears after temperature
12
The LDO output capacitor size affects LDO stability. A
1µF ceramic capacitor is recommended to maintain
stability for load currents up to 200mA.
PCB Layout and Routing
The MAX8822 is a high-frequency switched-capacitor
voltage regulator. For best circuit performance, use a
solid ground plane and place all capacitors as close
as possible to the IC. Use large traces for the powersupply inputs to minimize losses due to parasitic trace

resistance and to route heat away from the device. The
exposed paddle lowers the thermal resistance of the
package by providing a direct-heat conduction path
from the die to the printed circuit board (PCB). Connect
the exposed paddle to the GND plane directly under
the IC, but do not rely on EP for ground functions. For
good thermal dissipation, solder the exposed paddle to
the power ground plane. Refer to the MAX8822 evaluation kit data sheet for an example PCB layout.
