CAT3603 3-Channel LED Driver in 3 x 3mm Package DESCRIPTION FEATURES The CAT3603 is a charge pump LED driver operating in either 1x (LDO) mode or 1.5x fractional mode regulating current through each of the 3 LED pins. Operation at a constant switching frequency of 1MHz allows the use of very small value ceramic capacitors. Drives up to 3 LEDs Current setting resistor Compatible with supply voltage of 3V to 5.5V Power efficiency up to 91% Output Current up to 30mA per LED Fractional pump 1x/1.5x Low noise input ripple Fixed High Frequency Operation 1MHz “Zero” Current Shutdown Mode Soft start and current limiting Short circuit protection 12-lead TDFN 3mm x 3mm package The CAT3603 drives 3 white LEDs in parallel and provides tightly matched regulated current to achieve uniform brightness in LCD backlighting applications. An external resistor, RSET, controls the output current level. The device can deliver up to 30mA over an input voltage supply range from 3V to 5.5V, making it ideal for battery-powered applications LED dimming can be accomplished using several methods; using a DC voltage to set the RSET pin current, applying a PWM signal on the EN pin, or adding a switched resistor in parallel with RSET. The EN input pin allows the device to be placed in powerdown mode with “near-zero” quiescent current. APPLICATION LCD Display Backlight Cellular Phones Digital Still Cameras Handheld Devices The device is available in the tiny 12-lead thin DFN 3mm x 3mm package with a max height of 0.8mm.

They should be connected to the LED cathode, or tied to VOUT pin if not used. PIN FUNCTION VIN is the supply pin for the charge pump. A small 1μF ceramic bypass capacitor is required between the VIN pin and ground near the device. The operating input voltage range is from 3.0V to 5.5V. C1+, C1- are connected to each side of the 1μF ceramic bucket capacitor C1. C2+, C2- are connected to each side of the 1μF ceramic bucket capacitor C2. EN is the enable control logic input for all LED channels. Guaranteed levels of logic high and logic low are set at 1.3V and 0.4V respectively. LED1 to LED3 provide the internal regulated current for each of the LED cathodes. These pins enter a high impedance, zero current state whenever the device is placed in shutdown mode. In applications using less than three LEDs, all unused channels should be wired directly to VOUT. This ensures the channel is automatically disabled dissipating less than 200μA. RSET pin is regulated at 1.2V. An external resistor RSET connected from the RSET pin to GND sets the LED current. VOUT is the charge pump output that is connected to the LED anodes. A small 1μF ceramic bypass capacitor is required between the VOUT pin and ground near the device. TAB is the exposed pad underneath the package. For best thermal performance, the tab should be soldered to the PCB and connected to the ground plane. GND is the ground reference for the charge pump. The pin must be connected to the ground plane on the PCB. © 2008 SCILLC. All rights reserved. Characteristics subject to change without notice 7 Doc. No. MD-5017 Rev. F CAT3603 BLOCK DIAGRAM Figure 2. CAT3603 Functional Block Diagram BASIC OPERATION At power-up, the CAT3603 starts operating in 1x mode where the output will be approximately equal to the input supply voltage (minus any internal voltage losses). If the output voltage is sufficient to regulate all LED currents, the device remains in 1x operating mode. In 1.5x mode, the output is approximately equal to 1.5 times the input supply voltage (minus any internal voltage losses), and high enough to achieve the nominal LED current. The above sequence is reinitialized every time the chip is powered-up or is taken out of shutdown mode (via EN pin). If the input voltage falls to a level where the regulated currents cannot be maintained, the device automa– tically switches into 1.5x mode. Doc. No. MD-5017 Rev. F 8 © 2008 SCILLC.

Table 1 lists various LED currents and the associated RSET resistor value for standard 1% precision surface mount resistors. is kept very low by design, and an input bypass capacitor of 1μF is sufficient. In 1x mode, the device operating in linear mode does not introduce switching noise back onto the supply. Recommended Layout In 1.5x charge pump mode, the driver switches internally at a high frequency of 1MHz. It is recommended to minimize trace length to all four capacitors. A ground plane should cover the area under the driver IC as well as the bypass capacitors. Short connection to ground on capacitors CIN and COUT can be implemented with the use of multiple via. A copper area matching the TDFN exposed pad (GND) must be connected to the ground plane underneath. The use of multiple via improves the package heat dissipation. Table 1.

A disabled channel sinks only 0.2mA typical. When the following equation is true on any channel, the driver turns off the LED channel: VOUT - VLED ≤ 1V (LED channel OFF) Note: The CAT3603 is designed to drive LEDs with forward voltage greater than 1V and is not compatible with resistive loads less than 5kΩ. External Components The driver requires a total of four external 1μF ceramic capacitors: two for decoupling input and output, and two for the charge pump. Both capacitor types X5R and X7R are recommended for the LED driver application. In the 1.5x charge pump mode, the input current ripple © 2008 SCILLC. All rights reserved.
