Preliminary Datasheet LP3311 High Performance, Constant Current Switching Regulator For 10PCS White LED In Series General Description Features The LP3311 is a 1.3MHz PWM boost switching regulator designed for constant- current white LED driver applications. The LP3311 can drive a string of up to 10 white LEDs in series, ensuring uniform brightness and eliminating several ballast resistors. The LP3311 implements a constant frequency 1.3MHz PWM control scheme. The high frequency PWM operation also saves board space by reducing external component sizes. To improve efficiency, the feedback voltage is set to 195 mV and 300mV, which reduces the power dissipation in the current setting resistor. Highly integration and internal compensation network minimizes as 5 external component counts. Optimized operation frequency can meet the requirement of small LC filters value and low operation current with high efficiency.

The internal feedback reference voltage is 200mV or LP3311A is 300mV. The LED current can be set from following equation easily. LP3311 In order to have an accurate LED current, precision resistors are preferred (1% is recommended). The table for R1 selection is shown below. Inductor Selection The recommended value of inductor for 2 to 10 WLEDs applications are 2.2 to 22µH. Small size and better efficiency are the major concerns for portable device, such as LP3311 used for mobile phone. The inductor should have low core loss at 1.3MHz and low DCR for better efficiency. To avoid inductor saturation current rating should be considered. Dimming control b. Using a DC Voltage Using a variable DC voltage to adjust the brightness is a popular method in some applications. The dimming control using a DC voltage circuit is shown in Figure 4. According to the Superposition Theorem, as the DC voltage increases, the voltage contributed to VFB increases and the voltage drop on R2 decreases, i.e. the LED current decreases. For example, if the VDC range is from 0V to 2.8V, the selection of resistors in Figure 4 sets dimming control of LED current from 20mA to 0mA.

Using a PWM Signal to EN Pin For controlling the LED brightness, the LP3311 can perform the dimming control by applying a PWM signal to EN pin. The internal soft-start and wide range dimming frequency from 100Hz to 100KHz can insignificantly reduce audio noise when dimming. The average LED current is proportional to the PWM signal duty cycle. The magnitude of the PWM signal should be higher than the maximum enable voltage of EN pin, in order to let the dimming control perform correctly.

Using a Filtered PWM signal Another common application is using a filtered PWM signal as an adjustable DC voltage for LED dimming control. A filtered PWM signal acts as the DC voltage to regulate the output current. The recommended application circuit is shown in the Figure 6. In this circuit, the output ripple depends on the frequency of PWM signal. For smaller output voltage ripple (<100mV), the recommended frequency of 2.8V PWM signal should be above 2kHz. To fix the frequency of PWM signal and change the duty cycle of PWM signal can get different output current. According to the application circuit of Figure 5, output current is from 20.5mA to 5.5mA by adjusting the PWM duty cycle from 10% to 90%. 4.7uH 6 1 Vin EN OVP FB 5 3 2 4 Cout 1uF LX U4 GND Cin 10uF LP3311 R2 R3 R4 PWM (0-100KHz) 100K 5k R1 10 90k Cout 0.1uF For Larger Panel application Circuit Vin 3S13P 4.7uH LX EN OVP FB 5 3 R1 12 2 4 Vin GND 6 PWM Cout 4.7uF 1 Cin 10uF LP3311 LP3311 – 00 Version 1.0 Datasheet Feb.-2011 www.lowpowersemi.com Page 7 of 8 Preliminary Datasheet LP3311 Packing information LP3311 – 00 Version 1.0 Datasheet Feb.-2011 www.lowpowersemi.com Page 8 of 8
