APPLICATIONS
Display backlight driver for phones that require slider or flip
keypad functions with single or multiple LED indicators
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADP5520 is a versatile single-chip, white LED backlight
driver with a user configurable I/O expander. This device fits
handset applications where the flip or slider section of the phone
requires backlighting, I/O signaling and detecting, auxiliary LED
lighting, and keypad functions. By incorporating an I2C®compatible serial interface and a single line interrupt, the
ADP5520 significantly reduces the total number of lines
required to interface with the baseband processor across the
hinge flex.
The ADP5520 can detect ambient light levels and adjust the
backlight brightness accordingly, resulting in extended battery
operation.
Once configured, the ADP5520 is capable of controlling the
flip/slider backlight intensity, on/off timing, dimming, and
fading without the intervention of the main processor, which
results in valuable battery power saving.

ESD CAUTION
In applications where high power dissipation and poor thermal resistance
are present, the maximum ambient temperature may have to be derated.
Maximum ambient temperature (TA(MAX)) is dependent on the maximum
operating junction temperature (TJ(MAXOP) = 125°C), the maximum power
dissipation of the device (PD(MAX)), and the junction-to-ambient thermal
resistance of the part/package in the application (θJA), using the following
equation: TA(MAX) = TJ(MAXOP) − (θJA × PD(MAX)).
Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress
rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any
other conditions above those indicated in the operational
section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.
Absolute maximum ratings apply individually only, not in
combination. Unless otherwise specified, all other voltages are
referenced to GND.

Figure 13. Internal Block Diagram
The ADP5520 is a backlight white LED driver with an I/O port
expander. It is ideal for cell phone designs and other portable
devices, where keypad and/or extended I/O functionality is
needed. Programmable fade-in, fade-out, dim, and off timers
provide the backlight with flexible control features. Using an
external photodiode, the ADP5520 can perform ambient light
sensing, and adjust the backlight brightness according to
varying lighting conditions.
The I/O port expander has eight configurable GPIO pins. The
I/Os can be configured as a keypad matrix, digital inputs, or
digital outputs. Additionally, two of the I/Os (R3 and C3) can be
configured as current sink lines and, paired with a dedicated
sink line (ILED), can be used to drive up to three auxiliary LEDs.
Programmable fading is also available for auxiliary LEDs.
Once programmed through its I2C-compatible interface, the
ADP5520 can run autonomously. An interrupt line (nINT) is
available to alert an external microprocessor of the status of its
I/Os, keypad presses and releases, ambient light sensor comparator
states, and overvoltage conditions.
BACKLIGHT DRIVE AND CONTROL
White LEDs are common in backlighting the displays of modern
portable devices such as cell phones. White LEDs require a high
forward voltage, VF, before they conduct current and emit light.
Display panels, depending on their size, can be backlit with
single or multiple white LEDs. In panels that require multiple
LEDs, the LEDs are commonly connected in a series string to
achieve uniform brightness in each LED by passing a common
current through all of them. The LED string needs to be biased
with a voltage greater than the sum of the VF of each LED
before it conducts.
The ADP5520 is an asynchronous boost converter capable of
driving an LED string with 24.5 V (minimum). For detailed
information about the boost device, see the Applications
Information section. With sufficient forward voltage created,
the ADP5520 controls the current (and thus the brightness)
of the LED string via an adjustable internal current sink. An
internal state machine, in conjunction with programmable
timers, dynamically adjusts the current sink between 0 mA
and 30 mA to achieve impressive backlight control features.

BACKLIGHT MAXIMUM AND DIM SETTINGS
BST
BL_SNK
The backlight maximum and dim current settings are determined by a 7-bit code programmed by the user into the registers
listed in the Backlight Operating Levels section. This 7-bit
resolution allows the user to set the backlight to 1 of 128
different levels between 0 mA and 30 mA. The ADP5520 can
implement two distinct algorithms to achieve a linear and a
nonlinear relationship between input code and backlight
current. The BL_LAW bits in Register 0x02 are used to swap
between algorithms.

BL_FO
By default, the ADP5520 uses a linear algorithm (BL_LAW =
00), where backlight current increases linearly for a corresponding increase of input code. Backlight current (in mA) is determined
by the following equation:
Backlight Current = Code × (Fullscale_Current/127)
Figure 14. Backlight Brightness Control
BACKLIGHT OPERATING LEVELS
Backlight brightness control can operate in three distinct levels:
daylight (L1), office (L2), and dark (L3). The BL_LVL bits in
Register 0x02 control the level in which the backlight operates.
The BL_LVL bits can be changed manually, or if in automatic
mode, by the ambient light sensor (see the Ambient Light Sensing
section). By default, the backlight operates at daylight level
(BL_LVL = 00), where the maximum brightness is set using
Register 0x05 (DAYLIGHT_MAX). A daylight dim setting can
also be set using Register 0x06 (DAYLIGHT_DIM). When operating at office level (BL_LVL = 01), the backlight maximum and
dim brightness settings are set by Register 0x07 (OFFICE_MAX)
and Register 0x08 (OFFICE_DIM). When operating at dark
level (BL_LVL = 10), the backlight maximum and dim brightness
settings are set by Register 0x09 (DARK_MAX) and Register 0x0A
(DARK_DIM).
DAYLIGHT (L1)
OFFICE (L2)
where:
Code is the input code programmed by the user.
Fullscale_Current is the maximum sink current allowed

The ADP5520 can also implement a nonlinear (square approximation) relationship between input code and backlight current level.
In this case (BL_LAW = 01), the backlight current (in mA) is

AUTOMATIC DIM AND TURN OFF TIMERS
With the device in operating mode (nSTNBY = 1), the backlight
can be turned on using the BL_EN bit in Register 0x00. Before
turning on the backlight, the user should choose which level
(daylight (L1), office (L2), or dark (L3)) to operate in, and ensure
that maximum and dim settings are programmed for that level.
The backlight turns on when BL_EN = 1. The backlight turns
off when BL_EN = 0.
The user can program the backlight to dim automatically by
using the BL_DIMT timer in Register 0x03. The dim timer has
15 settings ranging from 10 sec to 2 min. The user should
program the dim timer before turning on the backlight. If
BL_EN = 1, the backlight turns on to its maximum setting, and
the dim timer starts counting. When the dim timer expires, the
internal state machine sets DIM_EN = 1, and the backlight goes
to its dim setting.

The maximum and dim settings can be set between 0 mA and
30 mA; therefore, it is possible to program a dim setting that is
greater than a maximum setting. For normal expected operation,
users should ensure that the dim setting is programmed to be less
than the maximum setting.
The user can also program the backlight to turn off automatically by using the BL_OFFT timer in Register 0x03. The off
timer has 15 settings ranging from 10 sec to 2 min. The user
should program the off timer before turning on the backlight.
If BL_EN = 1, the backlight turns on to its maximum setting,
and the off timer starts counting. When the off timer expires,
the internal state machine clears the BL_EN bit, and the
backlight turns off.
It is also possible to activate the backlight automatically when a
key press is detected. With the row and column pins configured as
a keypad matrix, and the KP_BL_EN bit asserted in Register 0x02,
the internal state machine asserts BL_EN and turns on the backlight if a key is pressed. See the I/O Expansion Pins (Keypad

LINEAR BACKLIGHT FADE IN AND FADE OUT
To counteract the abrupt visual effect of near instant turn-on
and turn-off of the backlight, the ADP5520 contains timers to
facilitate the smooth fading between off, on, and dim states. By
default (BL_LAW = 00), the ADP5520 implements a fading
scheme using the linear backlight code algorithm (see Equation 1).
The BL_FI timer in Register 0x04 can be used for smooth fade-in
transitions from low to high backlight settings, such as off-to-dim,
off-to-maximum, and dim-to-maximum. The BL_FI timer can be
programmed to one of 15 settings ranging from 0.3 sec to 5.5 sec.

During any point in a fade-out, if BL_EN is asserted, then the
backlight stops at its current fade-out position and begins
fading in.
The fade-in and fade-out timers can be used independently of each
other, that is, fade-in can be enabled while fade-out is disabled.
The fade timers can also be used with the off and dim timers.

Figure 25 shows the fade timers used with the dim and off timers.
Although the default linear fade algorithm gives a smooth increase
and decrease in backlight current, the resulting increase and
decrease in brightness still appears visually abrupt. For example,
for a given fade-in time, the eye can notice an initial increase in
brightness as backlight current is increased, but cannot perceive
much more of an increase in brightness as backlight current is
increased to maximum.

The reason for this is that the eye, like all human senses, perceives

ADVANCED FADING (CUBIC 1 AND CUBIC 2)
AMBIENT LIGHT SENSING
Two additional advanced techniques are available for fading the
backlight brightness levels, Cubic 1 (BL_LAW = 10) and Cubic 2
(BL_LAW = 11). Referring to the backlight brightness control
block diagram shown in Figure 14, linear and square fading is
implemented by ramping the 128 linear/square algorithm codes
at a fixed frequency over the duration of a given fade-in/fadeout time.
The ADP5520 can be used in conjunction with an external
photosensor to detect when ambient light conditions have
dropped below programmable set points. An ADC samples the
output of the external photosensor. The ADC result is fed into
two programmable trip comparators. The ADC has an input
range of 0 μA to 1000 μA (typical).
L2_EN
Cubic fading is implemented by reusing the square algorithm
codes, but by ramping them with a clock source whose frequency
output increases as the sink current code increases (see Figure 29).
Cubic 1 and Cubic 2 differ by having separate frequency vs.
code characteristics.

Figure 30 shows a comparison of fade law techniques. Cubic
fades complete faster than linear or square fades for a given fade
time setting. Cubic 1 completes approximately 30% faster, and
Cubic 2 completes approximately 10% faster than an equivalent
linear or square fade time.
With four fade laws and 15 fade time settings, users have tremendous flexibility to find the right fade experience for their application.

The Level 2 (office) light sensor comparator, L2_CMPR, is used
to detect when the photosensor output has dropped below the
programmable L2_TRIP point. If this event occurs, the
L2_OUT status signal is set. L2_CMPR contains programmable
hysteresis, meaning that the photosensor output must rise above
L2_TRIP + L2_HYS before L2_OUT is cleared. L2_CMPR is
enabled in Register 0x0C via the L2_EN bit. The L2_TRIP and
L2_HYS values of L2_CMPR can be set between 0 μA and 1000 μA
(typical) in steps of 4 μA (typical).
L3_CMPR is used to detect when the photosensor output
has dropped below the programmable L3_TRIP point. If this
event occurs, the L3_OUT status signal is set. L3_CMPR contains
programmable hysteresis, meaning that the photosensor output
must rise above L3_TRIP + L3_HYS before L3_OUT is cleared.
L3_CMPR is enabled in Register 0x0C via the L3_EN bit. The
L3_TRIP and L3_HYS values of L3_CMPR can be set between 0
μA and 127 μA (typical) in steps of 0.5 μA (typical).

automatic backlight adjustment mode. A single conversion

takes 80 ms (typical). Filter times of between 80 ms and 10 sec
can be programmed for the comparators before they change state.
It is also possible to use the light sensor comparators in a single
shot mode. After the single shot measurement is completed, the
internal state machine clears the FORCE_RD bit.
The ambient light sensor comparators can be used to automatically transition the backlight between one of its three operating
levels. To enable this mode, the BL_AUTO_ADJ bit is set in
Register 0x02.
Once enabled, the internal state machine takes control of the
BL_LVL bits and changes them based on the L2_OUT and
L3_OUT status bits. The L2_OUT status bit indicates that ambient
light conditions have dropped below the L2_TRIP point and the
backlight should be moved to its office (L2) level. The L3_OUT
status bit indicates that ambient light conditions have dropped
below the L3_TRIP point and the backlight should be moved
to its dark (L3) level. Table 6 shows the relationship between
backlight operation and the ambient light sensor comparator
outputs.
The L3_OUT status bit has greater priority, so the backlight
operates at L3 (dark) even if L2_OUT is set.

When configured as an output, a digital buffer drives the GPIO
Rx and Cx pins to 0 V for a Logic 0 and to the VDDIO rail for a
Logic 1. Output data for each I/O is set using Register 0x1A.
Each I/O has a pull-up resistor that can be enabled when used
as an input. This can be useful for interfacing to an external
signal that has only pull-down capabilities. Pull-ups can be
enabled and disabled using Register 0x1F.
Each I/O has a debounce circuit that effectively filters out glitches
and pulses less than 75 μs (typical) to prevent false triggering
when configured as an input. By default, debounce is enabled
but can be disabled using Register 0x1E.
I/Os configured as inputs store the digital state sensed at each
pin in Register 0x19. Interrupts can be generated by digital
inputs if enabled in Register 0x1B. The input interrupt level
can be selected using Register 0x1D. Interrupts generated are
stored in Register 0x1C. The master GPI_INT bit is set if any
interrupt bits are set in Register 0x1C, and the nINT pin is
asserted.
To deassert the nINT pin and clear the GPI_INT bit, the 0x1C
register must be cleared by reading it twice (assuming the interrupt
condition has gone away), and then a 1 must be written to the
GPI_INT bit in Register 0x00. Figure 34 shows the interrupt
generation scheme, where Dx represents any one of the eight
digital input lines.

The eight I/O expansion pins (R0, R1, R2, R3, C0, C1, C2, and
C3) can be configured as general-purpose digital inputs, digital
inputs with pull-up, or digital outputs. Two of the I/O pins (R3
and C3) are LED current sinks by default. To use them as GPIOs,
set Bit 4 and Bit 5 in Register 0x11. Register 0x17 to Register 0x1F
are used to configure the I/O pins in GPIO mode. Figure 33
shows the typical makeup of a GPIO block, where Rx/Cx
represents any one of the eight I/O lines.
The eight I/O expansion pins (R0, R1, R2, R3, C0, C1, C2, and
C3) can be configured to decode a keypad matrix, consisting of
up to 16 switches (4 × 4 matrix). See the Example Circuits
section for other possible matrix configurations.
Two of the I/O pins (R3 and C3) are LED current sinks by
default. To use them as keypad decoders, set Bit 4 and Bit 5 in
Register 0x11. The R0, R1, R2, and R3 I/O pins make up the
rows of the keypad matrix. The C0, C1, C2, and C3 I/O pins
make up the columns of the keypad matrix.

To configure the device for key scanning and decoding, the R0,
R1, R2, and R3 pull-ups must be enabled in Register 0x1F. Key
scanning and decoding is then enabled by programming the
row and column bits in Register 0x17. The row pull-ups must
be enabled before enabling key scanning.
Figure 35 shows the row and column pins connected to a typical
4 × 4, 16-switch keypad matrix. When key scanning is idle, the
row pins are pulled high and the column pins are pulled low.
The key scanner operates by checking if the row pins are low. If
the A button in the matrix is pressed, the switch connects R0 to
C0. The key scan circuit senses that the R0 pin has been pulled low
and begins a key scan cycle. To prevent glitches or narrow press
times registering as valid key presses, the key scanner requires
the key to be pressed for two scan cycles. The key scanner has a
sampling period of 25 ms, so the key must be pressed and held
for at least 25 ms to register as being pressed. If the key is continuously pressed, the key scanner continues to sample every 25 ms.

I through P are stored in Register 0x21. The master KP_INT flag is
set if any interrupt bits are set in Register 0x20 or Register 0x21.
The nINT pin is asserted if KP_INT is set and if KP_IEN is

If the A button is released, the switch opens the connection

requires that the key be released for two scan cycles. Because the
release of a key is not necessarily in sync with the key scanning
sampling period, it may take between 25 ms and 50 ms for a key
to register as being released. Once the key is registered as being
released, the key scanner returns to idle mode.

When a key is released, an interrupt is also generated and

The backlight can be programmed to turn on as a consequence
of a key press, using the KP_BL_EN bit in Register 0x02. To
enable this feature, the following sequence should be observed:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Enable the row pull-ups using Register 0x1F.
Enable key scanning on rows and columns using
Register 0x17.
Enable backlight turn-on due to key press by setting
KP_BL_EN in Register 0x02.
Set device to operating mode (nSTNBY = 1) in Register 0x00.
When a key is pressed, the backlight turns on. If the off timer is
programmed, the backlight turns off, or the user can turn off
the backlight by clearing BL_EN.
If the user wants the backlight to turn on again with a subsequent key press, the KP_INT and KR_INT bits in Register 0x00
must be cleared.
I/O EXPANSION PINS AND ILED PIN (AUXILIARY
LED CURRENT SINKS)
The ILED pin and two of the I/O expansion pins (R3 and C3)
can be used as auxiliary LED current sinks. Each LED current
sink is programmable up to 14 mA (typical) and can be
independently turned on and off.
The ILED pin is the current sink for LED 1. Its sink current can
be set using LED1_CURRENT in Register 0x14. The LED 1
sink can be enabled with LED1_EN in Register 0x11.
The C3 pin is the current sink for LED 2. Its sink current can be
set using LED2_CURRENT in Register 0x15. The LED 2 sink
can be enabled with LED2_EN in Register 0x11.
The R3 pin is the current sink for LED 3. Its sink current can be
set using LED3_CURRENT in Register 0x16. The LED 3 sink
can be enabled with LED3_EN in Register 0x11.
The LEDx_CURRENT registers are six bits wide, allowing the
user to set the LED sink current to one of 64 different levels
between 0 mA and 14 mA. The ADP5520 can implement two
distinct algorithms, to achieve a linear and a nonlinear
relationship between input code and sink current.
By default, the ADP5520 uses a linear algorithm (LED_LAW = 0),
where the LED sink current increases linearly for a corresponding
increase of input code. LED sink current (in milliamps) is determined by the following equation:
LED Sink Current = Code × (Fullscale_Current/63)
where:
Code is the input code programmed by the user.
Fullscale_Current is the maximum sink current allowed
(typically 14 mA).

The ADP5520 can also implement a nonlinear (square approximation) relationship between input code and LED sink current

Figure 41. LED Sink Current vs. Code
Similar to the backlight current sink, the ADP5520 contains
timers to facilitate the smooth fading between off and on states
of the LED current sinks. All three LED sinks share a common
fade-in (LED_FI) timer as well as a common fade-out (LED_FO)
timer. The fade-in and fade-out timers are located in Register 0x13,
and can be programmed to one of 15 settings ranging from 0.3 sec
to 5.5 sec. Fade-in times represent the time it takes to fade from
0 mA to 14 mA. Fade-out times represent the time it takes to
fade from 14 mA to 0 mA. Fading between intermediate settings
is shorter. The fade timers should be programmed before
asserting LEDx_EN.
By default (LED_LAW = 0), the ADP5520 implements a fading
scheme using the linear algorithm (see Equation 3).

All fade, on, and off timers should be programmed before
enabling any of the LED current sinks. If LEDx is on during a
blink cycle and LEDx_EN is cleared, it turns off (or fades to off
if fade-out is enabled). If LEDx is off during a blink cycle and
LEDx_EN is cleared, then it stays off.

The ADP5520 can generate interrupts to an external processor
via its interrupt output, nINT. nINT is an active low open-drain
pin that should be pulled up to VDDIO. nINT can be asserted
by one of several internal blocks, as shown in Figure 47.
The ADP5520 can be restored to a power-on reset state if the
nRST pin is held low. nRST contains a debounce circuit, so the
pin must be held low for greater than 75 μs (typical) before a
reset occurs.

The LED current sinks have additional timers to facilitate
blinking functions. A shared on timer (LED_ONT) used in
conjunction with three off timers (LED1_OFFT, LED2_OFFT,
and LED3_OFFT) allow the LED current sinks to be configured
in various blinking modes. The on timer can be set to four
different settings: 0.2 sec, 0.6 sec, 0.8 sec, and 1.2 sec. The off
timers have four different settings: disabled, 0.6 sec, 0.8 sec, and
1.2 sec. Blink mode is activated by setting the off timers to any
setting other than disabled.

ADP5520
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
VBAT
The ADP5520 backlight driver utilizes a dc-to-dc step-up
(boost) converter to achieve the high voltage levels required to
drive up to six white LEDs in series. Figure 50 shows the basic
asynchronous boost converter topology.

Figure 51. Boost Configuration
Figure 50. Basic Asynchronous Boost Converter Topology
Assuming an initial steady state condition where the switch has
been open for a long time, then the output voltage (VOUT) is
equal to the input voltage (VIN), minus a diode drop.
If the switch is closed, the output voltage maintains its value as
the diode blocks its path to ground. The inductor, however, has
a voltage differential across its terminals. Current in an inductor
cannot change instantaneously, so it increases linearly at a rate of
di/dt = VIN/L
where L is the inductance value in Henrys.
If the switch is kept closed, the current increases until the inductor
reaches its saturation limit, at which point the inductor becomes
a dc path to ground. Therefore, the switch should be kept closed
only long enough to build some transient energy in the inductor,
but not so long that the inductor becomes saturated.
The ADP5520 uses a current-limiting PFM control scheme. For
medium to large output currents, the converter operates in
pseudo continuous conduction mode (CCM). It generates
bursts of peak current limited pulses (600 mA typical) in the
inductor, as shown in Figure 9.
For light output currents, the converter operates in pseudo
discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). It generates bursts of
small (200 mA typical) and medium (400 mA typical) current
pulses in the inductor, as shown in Figure 11.
To maintain reasonable burst frequencies during very light
load conditions, an automatic dummy load feature is available.
When enabled, the 1 mA dummy load is activated if the backlight sink current code drops below 8 while in linear law mode,
or if the backlight sink current code drops below 32 while in
square law mode.
When the switch is opened, the current that has built up in the
inductor continues to flow (as previously mentioned, the current
in an inductor cannot change instantaneously), so the voltage
at the top of the switch increases and forward biases the diode,
allowing the inductor current to charge the capacitor, and,
therefore, increase the overall output voltage level. If the switch
is continuously opened and closed, the output voltage continues
to increase.
Safety Features
Figure 51 shows the boost configuration as used in the ADP5520.
A Schottky diode is used due to its fast turn-on time and low
forward voltage drop. An input capacitor is added to reduce ripple
voltage that is generated on the input supply due to charging/
discharging of the inductor. An integrated power switch is used
to control current levels in the inductor. A control loop consisting
of a feedback signal, some safety limiting features, and a switch
drive signal complete the boost converter topology.
The ADP5520 also has a feature that ramps down the backlight
code when an OVP condition is detected. This may be useful in
conditions where LEDs with marginally high forward voltages
are used in low ambient conditions. The feature can be enabled
by setting the OVP_EN bit in Register 0x02.
The ADP5520 utilizes an overvoltage protection (OVP) circuit
that monitors the boosted voltage on the output capacitor. If the
LED string becomes open (due to a broken LED), the control
circuit continually commands the boost voltage to increase.
If the boost level exceeds the maximum process rating for the
ADP5520, damage to the device can occur. The ADP5520 boost
converter has an OVP limit of 27 V (typical).
The ADP5520 also features a thermal shutdown circuit. When
the die junction temperature reaches 150°C (typical), the boost
converter shuts down. It remains shut down until the die
temperature falls by 10°C (typical).

ADP5520
Component Selection
input capacitor with sufficient ripple current rating to handle
the inductor ripple. A 1 μF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor rated
for 16 V dc bias is recommended for the input capacitance.
The ADP5520 boost converter is designed for use with a 4.7 μH
inductor. Choose an inductor with a sufficient current rating to
prevent it from going into saturation. The peak current limit of
the ADP5520 is 750 mA (maximum), so choose an inductor
with a greater saturation rating. To maximize efficiency, choose
an inductor with a low series resistance (DCR).
The output capacitor maintains the output voltage when the
Schottky diode is not conducting. Due to the high levels of
boost voltage required, a 1 μF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor rated
for 50 V dc bias is recommended for output capacitance.
The ADP5520 is an asynchronous boost and, as such, requires
an external Schottky diode to conduct the inductor current to
the output capacitor and LED string when the power switch is
off. Ensure that the Schottky diode peak current rating is greater
than the maximum inductor current. Choose a Schottky diode
with an average current rating that is significantly larger than
the maximum LED current. To prevent thermal runaway, derate
the Schottky diode to ensure reliable operation at high junction
temperatures. To maximize efficiency, select a Schottky diode
with a low forward voltage. When the power switch is on, the
Schottky diode blocks the dc path from the output capacitor to
ground. Therefore, choose a Schottky diode with a reverse
breakdown greater than the maximum boost voltage. A 40 V,
1 A Schottky diode is recommended.
Note that dc bias characterization data is available from
capacitor manufacturers and should be taken into account
when selecting input and output capacitors.
The input capacitor carries the input ripple current, allowing
the input power source to supply only the dc current. Use an
Figure 52 shows an example PCB layout with the main power
components required for backlight driving.
PCB LAYOUT
Good PCB layout is important to maximize efficiency and to
minimize noise and electromagnetic interference (EMI). To
minimize large current loops, place the input capacitor, inductor,
Schottky diode, and output capacitor as close as possible to each
other and to the ADP5520 using wide tracks (use shapes where
possible). For thermal relief, the exposed pad of the LFCSP
package should be connected ground (GND).
PGND and GND should be connected to each other at the
bottom of the output capacitor.
