The AP3152 operates on power supplies from 2.7v to 5.5v. It drives up to four channels of white LEDs while the intensity of each channel is configured by varying the respective current levels. Each channel can supply up to 30mA current. Up to four channels can be ganged together to provide maximum load current of 120mA. The Serial Digital Interface (SDI) provides the capability to configure the current for each LED channel. Some other key features, such as Up Spread Spectrum Control, different charge-pump switching frequencies (0.6MHz/1.2MHz/1.8MHz), and PWM dimming control, can also be programmed through the interface. The AP3152 has a built-in soft-start circuit to minimize the inrush current during power-up and mode switching. Various protections such as short-circuit, over-voltage, under-voltage, and thermal shutdown are integrated to ensure system reliability. The quiescent current of AP3152 during shutdown is less than 1µA.

An internal comparator circuit compares the voltage at each constant current sink input against a reference voltage. To ensure maximum power efficiency, the most appropriate switching mode (x1, x1.5, x2) is automatically selected. 6 CH2, CH3 and CH4 in dimming control 7 CH1 and CH2 in dimming control 8 CH3 and CH4 in dimming control 9 CH1 in dimming control In applications, only four external components are required: two 1µF ceramic flying capacitors (C1 and C2), one 1µF ceramic capacitor each for input and output (CIN, COUT). 10 CH2 in dimming control 11 CH3 in dimming control 12 CH4 in dimming control AP3152 drives up to four white LEDs with a maximum current of 30mA each. A total of 120mA is provided to the four channels. Through SDI, the current into each channel can be configured in accordance to specific protocol and pre-defined values. 13 Low-Current Mode (Maximum Current set to 2mA) 14 Maximum Current set to 14mA (All channels) 15 Maximum Current set to 20mA (All channels) Maximum output current can be set to one of the four possible scales: 2mA, 14mA, 20mA, 30mA. Among these, the ‘2mA’ setting is called “low current mode”. This would be useful for applications which require very low operating current, e.g. transmissive LCD panels. 16 Maximum Current set to 30mA (All channels) For each maximum output current scale, there are 16 current level settings separated from one another by approximately 1dB. While level-16 corresponds to maximum current output, level-1 corresponds to zero output current. As the current level varies logarithmically, intensity of the LED changes in a linear fashion. The current level at the individual channels is configured via SDI which supports data rate up to 10MHz. It allows the main controller in the system to be offloaded to perform more mission-critical functions. Serial Digital Interface SDI is a general purpose 1-wire digital interface designed to transport digital controls for power management ICs such as AP3152. The current levels of the four channels can be configured either together or individually. Up to 16 current levels are allowed. A generic system controller can easily support the SDI protocol via bit-banging over its general purpose I/Os. The SDI protocol is simple yet flexible enough to accommodate different switching clock frequencies. Any sequence of negative-edged pulses of 63 or less (see table 1), separated by TSEP at the SDI pin is interpreted by AP3152 as a channel configuration event. In the future, the number of pulses can be extended to support additional commands. In addition to the SDI protocol, dimming control can also be achieved by presenting a timing-specific PWM signaling at the SDI pin. Number of Falling Edges Command Description 1 Current level step up (1 up to level 16) 2 Current level step down (16 down to level 1) 3 Current level set to 16 (maximum current level) 4 Current level set to 1 (minimum current level) 5 All 4 Channels in dimming control AP3152 Rev. 3 17 10% Up Spread Spectrum Control Enable/Disable 18 Switching Frequency set to 0.6Mhz 19 Switching Frequency set to 1.2Mhz 20 21~62 63 Switching Frequency set to 1.8Mhz Reserved PWM Dimming Control Enable/Disable Dimming Control Current Level Setting AP3152 supports four maximum output current scales including 30mA, 20mA, 14mA, and 2mA low-current scales. For each maximum current scale, there are 16 current level settings separated from one another by appromimately 1dB (see table 2). By default, maximum current scale is set to 20mA and dimming control current level is set to maximum (level 16). Through SDI, certain channels or all four channels can be selected, and dimming control level for these channels can be set to maximum (level 16), minimum (level1), up from minimum to maximum or down from maximum to minimum (see table 1).

Thermal Shutdown When the die temperature exceeds the thermal limit, the device will be disabled and enter stand-by mode. The operation will be resumed whenever the die cools off sufficiently. Soft-Start and Soft-Stop Soft-start and Soft-stop function are incorporated to prevent excessive inrush current during power-up, mode switching, power-down, transition out of stand-by mode. Switching Frequency By default, AP3152 is working at 1.2Mhz switching frequency. It can also work at 0.6MHz or 1.8MHz switching frequency set through SDI. User can choose the appropriate switching frequency with consideration of noise immunity, input/output voltage ripple requirement, and capacitor selection etc. Short-Circuit Protection Short-circuit protection function is incorporated to prevent excessive load current when either flying cap terminals or output pin electrically tied to a very low voltage or ground. Over-Voltage Protection Over-voltage protection function is incorporated to limit the output voltage under a safe value to avoid on-chip device breakdown. Under-Voltage Lockout Under-voltage lockout feature disables the device when the input voltage drops below UVLO threshold. Up Spread Spectrum Control When this feature is enabled through SDI, the switching frequency periodically varies between 100% and 110% of nominal frequency. It flattens the peak energy on nominal frequency over a range of frequency band so that EMI effect is significantly reduced. PWM Dimming Control The AP3152 provides flexible dimming control with either 16-level SDI protocol control or PWM dimming control through SDI pin. When PWM dimming control is enabled, the sink current is adjusted by the duty cycle of the signal applied on SDI pin. Serial Digital Interface Continued SDI Command Timing For an SDI command to be successfully received by the AP3152, all SDI timing specifications should be satisfied. When no command is being sent the SDI pin should be held high. If the SDI pin goes low and stays low for a time length of between TSLO(min) and TSLO(max) and then goes high and stays high for between TSHI(min) and TSHI(max), one falling edge is registered by the AP3152. The total number of falling edges registered before the SDI pin is held high for longer than the maximum separation time TSEP(max) identifies the command that has been received by the AP3152. The next series of falling edges before another separation time TSEP represents the next command. In other words, the AP3152 counts the number of consecutive falling edges on the SDI pin and a different number represents a different command. Each command is executed after it is successfully received. If at any time the SDI pin is held low for longer than the maximum chip disable time TOFF(max), the AP3152 gets disabled and enters the shutdown mode. Setting the SDI pin high again will re-enable the AP3152 and bring it out of the shutdown mode. Exiting from the shutdown mode, the AP3152 will retain all latest configuration settings and return to the same state as before it was disabled. The AP3152 enters the SDI mode by default when it is first powered up. The first SDI command 63 (63 falling edges) will put the AP3152 into the PWM mode, where a high level on the SDI pin turns the LEDs on, a low level turns the LEDs off and the duty cycle determines the average LED brightness. The next SDI command 63 will put the AP3152 back into the SDI mode. It should be pointed out that the PWM mode is for dimming control only and configuration settings have to be done in the SDI mode. Channel Configuration Example The following timing diagram is a dimming control example. In this example, the first command (command 10) selects Channel 2 as the configuration target and the second command (command 2) sets the Channel 2 current level to one step lower while the other channels remain unchanged.
