The LED current decreases by one step depending on the number of rising edges. After the number of rising edge is reached to the minimum output current (64 rising edges), the next rising edge changes the output current to the maximum value at startup time. To maintain any output current, the EN pin must be kept at ‘H’ level. To power off, the EN pin must be kept at ‘L’ level for more than 1msec.

Apply a voltage of Vf (threshold voltage value of a white LED) or higher to the LED. In this case, please note that when the LED is powered ON, the voltage value of L* pin (each pin of L1 to L4) must be VIN-1.4 V at the maximum. If a voltage of higher than VIN-1.4 V is applied to L* pin, a desired current value cannot be obtained. Also, please pay attention to the voltage application procedure at start-up. Be sure to power the current driver ON using the UPIC after applying power supply voltages to the VIN and the LED-anode pins. If the current driver is powered ON prior to applying power supply voltages to the LED, a rush current occurs in the LED. Determine the resistance value with which the LED current value is maximized and then connect such resistor between the ISET and the GND pins. The power ON/OFF and the brightness of the LEDs are controlled through the EN pin in accordance with the UPIC format. (2) Circuit example when using only two LEDs Connect to the GND pin.

Connect both of the unused L3 and L4 pins to the GND pin.Likewise, it is possible to make the L1 and/or the L2 pins unused, which allows the back lights to be used with the one or three LED(s) turned on.In all cases, connect the unused L* pin to the GND pin. Determine the resistance value with which the LED current value is maximized and then connect such resistor between the ISET and the GND pins.The power ON/OFF and the brightness of the LEDs are controlled through the EN pin in accordance with the UPIC format. www.rohm.com © 2011 ROHM Co., Ltd.

To prevent a rush current from occurring in the driver, it is necessary to apply voltages to the VIN pin and the LEDs prior to powering the current driver ON. Mount an RC filter between the VIN and the EN pins to delay the EN pin rising against the power-supply voltage rising. Determine the resistance value with which the LED current value is maximized and then connect such resistor between the ISET and the GND pins.

Through switching the ISET resistance value by the PWM input signal, the LED current is outputted under a PWM mode. The EN signal is controlled by an applied voltage level.In the circuit example shown above, the LED current value is changed to 3.43 mA in 0 % of the PWM duty cycle, 17.72 mA in 50 % of that and 32 mA in 100 % of that. www.rohm.com © 2011 ROHM Co., Ltd.

This figure shows a circuit example when driving a large current through all of four channels with only one LED powered on. By shorting out all the LED driver pins, in the example of using 120 kΩ RISET, a current up to 128 mA (32 mA x 4) can be driven. In this example, the brightness can be adjusted in 64 gradations with 2 mA step (0.5 mA step/channel x 4 channels). For higher current values, using 60 kΩ RISET allows a current up to 256 mA to be driven into one of the LEDs. The power ON/OFF and the brightness of the LEDs are controlled through the EN pin in accordance with the UPIC format.

By connecting the control signals to the EN pins in parallel, the eight LED channels can be controlled concurrently. This parallel connection scheme can increase the number of the LED channels further as necessary (such as twelve, sixteen, or more). Determine the resistance value with which the LED current value is maximized and then connect such resistor between the ISET and the GND pins.

In this example, when Vf is set to approx. 3 V in order to ensure the voltage to L1 through L4 pins, it is necessary to apply a voltage of 6.2 V (3 V x 2 LEDs in series + 0.2 V of the minimum voltage value of the driver pin) or higher to the LED anode pin as its power supply voltage. Pay attention that the voltage should not exceed the 7.0-V maximum rating of the L1 through L4 pins. Determine the resistance value with which the LED current value is maximized and then connect such resistor between the ISET and the GND pins.

All rights reserved. 9/11 EN Fig.22 GND VIN Surface (Top View) 2011.06 - Rev.B Technical Note BD1754HFN ●Notes for Use (1) Absolute Maximum Ratings An excess in the absolute maximum ratings, such as applied voltage, temperature range of operating conditions, can break down devices, thus making impossible to identify breaking mode such as a short circuit or an open circuit. If any special mode exceeding the absolute maximum ratings is assumed, consideration should be given to take physical safety measures including the use of fuses, etc. (2) Recommended Operating Conditions These conditions represent a range within which characteristics can be provided approximately as expected. The electrical characteristics are guaranteed under the conditions of each parameter. The voltage and temperature characteristics are also shown under the conditions in respect of electrical ones. (3) Reverse connection of power supply connector The reverse connection of power supply connector can break down ICs. Take protective measures against the breakdown due to the reverse connection, such as mounting an external diode between the power supply and the IC’s power supply terminal. (4) Power supply line Design PCB pattern to provide low impedance for the wiring between the power supply and the GND lines. Furthermore, for all power supply terminals to ICs, mount a capacitor between the power supply and the GND terminal. At the same time, in order to use an electrolytic capacitor, thoroughly check to be sure that the characteristics of the capacitor to be used present no problem including the occurrence of capacity dropout at a low temperature, thus determining the constant. (5) GND voltage Make setting of the potential of the GND terminal so that it will be maintained at the minimum in any operating state. Furthermore, check to be sure that no terminal is operated at a potential lower than the GND voltage including an actual electric transient. (6) Short circuit between terminals and erroneous mounting In order to mount ICs on a set PCB, pay thorough attention to the direction and offset of the ICs. Erroneous mounting can break down the ICs. Furthermore, if a short circuit occurs due to foreign matters entering between terminals or between the terminal and the power supply or the GND terminal, the ICs can break down. (7) Operation in strong electromagnetic field Be noted that using ICs in the strong electromagnetic field can cause a malfunction. (8) Inspection with set PCB On the inspection with the set PCB, if a capacitor is connected to a low-impedance IC terminal, the IC can suffer stress. Therefore, be sure to discharge from the set PCB by each process. Furthermore, in order to mount or dismount the set PCB to/from the jig for the inspection process, be sure to turn OFF the power supply and then mount the set PCB to the jig. After the completion of the inspection, be sure to turn OFF the power supply and then dismount it from the jig. In addition, for protection against static electricity, establish a ground for the assembly process and pay thorough attention to the transportation and the storage of the set PCB. (9) Input terminals In terms of the construction of IC, parasitic elements are inevitably formed in relation to potential. The operation of the parasitic element can cause interference with circuit operation, thus resulting in a malfunction and then breakdown of the input terminal. Therefore, pay thorough attention not to handle the input terminals, such as to apply to the input terminals a voltage lower than that applied to the GND respectively, so that any parasitic element will operate. Furthermore, do not apply a voltage to the input terminals when no power supply voltage is applied to the IC. In addition, even if the power supply voltage is applied, apply to the input terminals a voltage lower than the power supply voltage or within the guaranteed value of electrical characteristics. (10) Ground wiring pattern If small-signal GND and large-current GND are provided, it will be recommended to separate the large-current GND pattern from the small-signal GND pattern and establish a single ground at the reference point of the set PCB so that resistance to the wiring pattern and voltage fluctuations due to a large current will cause no fluctuations in voltages of the small-signal GND. Pay attention not to cause fluctuations in the GND wiring pattern of external parts as well. (11) Thermal design Perform thermal design in which there are adequate margins by taking into account the permissible dissipation (Pd) in actual states of use. www.rohm.com © 2011 ROHM Co., Ltd.
