The output current can be controlled from 2mA to 50mA by adjusting the setting current from external. It is easy to support a multi-color RGB LED. The LED current of each channel can be controlled from 2mA to 50mA. It is easy to obtain a multi-color output by changing the current of ISET1, ISET2, and ISET3 respectively. 60 Input UVLO VSET2 VSET3 RSET1 RSET2 RSET3 RSET = 75k 40 30 RSET = 160k 20 RSET = 360k 10 1 The LED current is setting by the current of ISET pin. The LED current of the three channels (LED1, LED2, LED3) could be set from the ISET (ISET1, ISET2, ISET3) pins individually. The typical application circuit shows as Figure 1. VSET1 RSET = 51k 0 Output Current Setting VBAT RSET = 36k 50 LED Current (mA) The input operating voltage range of the RT9301 is 2.8V to 5.5V. An input capacitor at the VIN pin could reduce ripple voltage. It is recommended to use a ceramic 1uF or larger capacitance as the input capacitor. This IC provides an under voltage lockout (UVLO) function to prevent it from unstable issue when startup. The UVLO threshold of input falling voltage is set at 2.1V typically with a hysteresis 0.1V. 1uF VIN LED1 LED2 LED3 ISET1 ISET2 ISET3 RT9301 GND 1.5 2 2.5 3 3.5 4 4.5 5 5.5 V SET (V) Figure 2. LED Current Setting Figure 2 shows the characteristics of ILED vs. VSET . If the RSET is selected, the LED current could be controlled from VSET . The voltage of VSET must be higher than 1.3V to enable the LED. For low LED current application, it is recommended to use a higher resistance on RSET (for example: RSET = 360kΩ). To disable the LED current, the ISET pin should be connected to ground or floating. For one LED or two LEDs application, the unused ISET pin should be connected to GND. In addition, don’ t short VSETx to ISETx pin. Figure 1. Typical Application Circuit VBAT The LED current can be controlled from an external voltage (VSET ) and a resistor (RSET ) between VSET and ISET pin. The voltage range of VSET is from 1.3V to 5.5V. The internal reference voltage at ISET pin is 0.9V typically. LED current is set as 800 times the current flowing into ISET pin. Therefore, the LED current can be calculated as the following equation.

Application Circuit for Two LEDs For example, RSET1 = 45kΩ and VSET1 = 1.8V, the current of LED1 is equal to 16mA. www.richtek.com 6 DS9301-05 April 2011 RT9301 GPIO Control Figure 4 shows an application circuit for backlight with GPIO. The three setting resistors are connected to GPIO. The LED current can be controlled by GPIO directly. The RT9301 provides low dropout voltage and 5% maximum current matching. It also allows dimming control frequency up to 10kHz. Figure 5 shows another application circuit for keypad backlight with GPIO. There are 9 LEDs operation in parallel. A battery or a regulated power source drives the LEDs. Each channel supports three LEDs. The LED brightness adjustment can be set with proper setting resistor for each channel and be controlled from GPIO. Thermal Considerations VBAT 1uF RSET1 VIN LED1 LED2 LED3 ISET1 RSET2 GPIO RSET3 ISET2 ISET3 RT9301 GND For continuous operation, do not exceed absolute maximum operation junction temperature 125°C. The maximum power dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of IC package, PCB layout, the rate of surroundings airflow and temperature difference between junction to ambient. The maximum power dissipation can be calculated by following formula : PD(MAX) = ( TJ(MAX) − TA ) / θJA Figure 4. Application Circuit for Backlight with GPIO The LED current can be set at different value with proper setting resistor. For typical application of GPIO 1.8V/2.8V and LED current 15mA/20mA, the recommended current setting resistors are showed as below table. Table 1.

The junction to ambient thermal resistance θJA is layout dependent. The thermal resistance θJA for TSOT-23-8 is 262°C/W, and WDFN-8L 3x3 is 108°C/W on the standard JEDEC 51-3 single-layer thermal test board. The maximum power dissipation at TA = 25°C can be calculated by following formula : PD(MAX) = (125°C − 25°C) / (262°C/W) = 0.382W for TSOT-23-8 packages PD(MAX)) = (125°C − 25°C) / (108°C/W) = 0.926W for WDFN-8L 3x3 packages VBAT 1uF RSET1 GPIO Where T J(MAX) is the maximum operation junction temperature 125°C, TA is the ambient temperature and the θJA is the junction to ambient thermal resistance. RSET2 RSET3 The maximum power dissipation depends on operating ambient temperature for fixed TJ(MAX) and thermal resistance θJA. For RT9301 packages, the Figure 1 of derating curves allows the designer to see the effect of rising ambient temperature on the maximum power allowed.
