●5V constant voltage(VREG)
5V (Typ.) is generated from VCC input voltage when EN=H. This voltage is used as a power supply of the internal circuit, and
also when the device pins need to be fixed to H voltage.
UVLO is built-in in VREG, and the circuit begins to operate when the voltage is more than 2.9V (Typ.) and stops when the
voltage is less than 2.8V (Typ.).
Please connect Creg=10uF (Typ.) to VREG terminal for phase compensation. The circuit’s operation becomes remarkably
unstable when Creg is not connected.
● Self-diagnosis function
The operating condition of the built-in protection circuit is transmitted to FAIL1 and FAIL2 output pins (open drain).
When UVLO, OVP, OCP or TSD is operated, FAIL1 output becomes L SWOUT is fixed to L, and the step-up conversion is
stopped. For OCP, SWOUT is fixed to L for only 1 cycle of FOSC because of the pulse-to-pulse mode operation. For UVLO,
OVP, TSD operations, LED output pins become open (Hi-Z). When FAIL1 becomes L, LOADSW is turned off as they are
inverted to each other.

FAIL2 output becomes L when open or short is detected. The open/short detection is a latch mode, and the latch is released by
ON/OFF (UVLO) of EN. The device judges as open when LED output is lower than 0.15V (Typ.) as well as when the voltage of
OVP terminal reaches 1.7V (Typ.). The short is detected when LED output becomes more than 4.5V (Typ.). Therefore, there is
a possible scenario that short detection cannot be carried out if the difference between LED terminal voltage at the time of
being normal and LED terminal voltage at the time of being abnormal is less than 3.7V (4.5V-0.8V) (Typ.). As for short
detection hereon, if one LED in some column of LED output, for example, becomes short mode, and is in the status of nothing
but VF being low, then cathode voltage is in the status of nothing but VF being high. LED short detection and OCP are
separate protection circuits. Please take care because short detection is masked as soon as open/short is detected. However,
the open detection operates. An additional capacitance added to LED output slows down the operation and the short may be
detected.
For the two FAIL output pins, add pull-up resistors for each as they are open drain.

● Constant-current driver
Please turn off the output with LEDEN if there is constant-current driver output that is not used. The truth-table is shown below.
If constant-current driver output that is not used is not treated with LEDEN but is made open, then the open detection will
operate. Also, please do not short the driver output to GND as the inputs of the error amplifier cannot be deactivated with
LEDEN. Instead keep the driver output to open or short it to VREG.

・Setting method of output current
ILED=min[VDAC , VISET(=2.0V)] / RSET x 3300 [mA]
min[VDAC , 2.0V] means the selection of smaller value is between VDAC or VISET(=2.0V).
3300 (Typ.) is a constant number determined by the circuit inside.
When the output current needs to be controlled with VDAC, please input in the range of 0.1∼2.0V. In the case of more than
2.0V, the value of VISET is selected in such a way that it is given by the above-mentioned calculating formula. Please connect
VDAC with VREG if VDAC is not to be used. The open state of VDAC will cause malfunction. Please do not change the LED
EN status during the PWM operation. The following diagram shows the relation between RISET and ISET.

For the intensity control with PWM, the ON/OFF of current driver is controlled by PWM terminal. The duty ratio of PWM
terminal becomes the duty ratio of ILED. Please fix the PWM terminal to H if PWM intensity control is not to be used (100%). It
becomes brightest at the time of 100%. It is recommended to use a low-pass filter (cut off frequency: 30 kHz) for the PWM pin.

● Step-up DC/DC controller
・Number of LEDs in series connection
Output voltage of the step-up converter is controlled such that the LED output pin becomes 0.8V (Typ.). Step-up operation is
performed only when LED output is operating. When more than one LED outputs are operating, the LED output in the column
in which the LED’s VF is the highest is controlled in such a way that it becomes 0.8V (Typ.).
The voltage of other LED outputs are increased with the portion of variation becomes high voltage. Please use the following
equation to calculate allowable VF variation.
VF variation allowable voltage 3.7V(Typ.)
= short detecting voltage 4.5V(Typ.)−LED control voltage 0.8V(Typ.)
In addition, pay attention to the number of LED’s connection in series because it has the following limits. In case of the open
detection, 85% of OVP setting voltage becomes trigger, so the maximum value of step-up voltage under normal operation
becomes 30.6V=36V x 0.85 and 30.6V / VF > maximum N number.
・ Overvoltage protection circuit OVP
For the OVP terminal, apply the voltage divider of the step-up converter output. The setting value of OVP is determined by
LED’s total numbers in series connection and VF variation. Please also take OVPx0.85, which is the open detection trigger,
into consideration when determining OVP setting voltage. Once the OVP operates, the OVP is released when step-up voltage
drops to 77.5% of OVP setting voltage.
Suppose ROVP1(step-up voltage side),ROVP2(GND side)and step-up voltage VOUT,
Then VOUT>=(ROVP1+ROVP2)/ROVP2 x 2.0V. The OVP operates at the time of ROVP1=330kΩ, ROVP2=22kΩ and VOUT=
over 32V.

・Oscillating frequency FOS of step-up DC/DC converter
Triangular wave oscillating frequency can be set by connecting a resistor to RT (26Pin). RT determines the charging & discharging currents
for internal condenser, and the frequency changes. Please refer to the following theoretical formula when setting the RT’s resistance. The
range of 62.6kΩ∼523kΩ is recommended. The setting that deviates from the frequency range in the following diagram may cause the
switching to stop and has no guarantee of proper operation, so please be careful.

・ External synchronization oscillating frequency FSYNC
Please do not switch over to the internal oscillation etc. halfway when clock is being inputted to SYNC terminal for the purpose
of external synchronization for step-up DC/DC converter. From having switched the SYNC terminal from H to L till the internal
oscillating circuit begins to operate, there is a delay time of about 30usec(Typ.). For the clock inputted to SYNC terminal, only
the rising edge is effective. Moreover, if external input frequency is later than internal oscillating frequency, the internal
oscillating circuit begins to operate after the above-mentioned delay time, so please do not input something like that (the
above-mentioned input).
・Overcurrent protection circuit OCP
Please put (insert) the detecting resistor RCS between GND and the source of n-MOSFET for step-up DC/DC converter. In
addition, please insert the low pass filter (LPF) with 1∼2MHz cutoff frequency between the CS terminal and the detecting
resistor in order to reduce the switching noise. If the time constant is too large, then the rising edge of CS terminal voltage is
delayed, and it gets late that OCP operates. (RLPF=100Ω and CLPF=1000pF etc. are effective at the time of FOSC=300kHz.)
The detecting current is as follows.
IOCP=VOLIMIT0.4V / RCS [A]
OCP is of pulse by pulse mode, and SWOUT is fixed to L for only 1 cycle determined by FOSC. In addition, there is a large
current line between RCS−GND, so please pay special attention and make an independent wiring to GND while board
designing.

※If current which exceeds the coil’s rated current value is run through the coil, the coil causes magnetic saturation and efficiency decreases.
Please keep a suitable margin so that the peak current does not exceed the coil’s rated current value, when selecting the current.
※Please select coil with low resistance components (DCR and ACR) in order to minimize loss and improve efficiency.
2. Setup of Output Condenser (Co)
The output condenser should be decided on after careful consideration of the stable
zone of the output voltage and the necessary equivalent series resistance to smooth

Also, because it depends greatly on the characteristics of the power supply used for
input, the wiring pattern of the substrate and the MOSFET gate-drain capacity, it is
highly recommended that usage temperature, load range and MOSFET conditions are

4. About MOSFET for Load Switch and the Corresponding Soft Start
With regular booster applications, because no switch exists on the route from VCC to VO, there is the threat of output
short-circuit or destruction of the commutation diode. To avoid this, please insert a PMOSFET load switch between VCC
and the coil. PMOSFET that can withstand higher pressure than VCC between both the gate sources and drain sources
should be selected.
Also, if a load switch soft start is desired, please insert capacity between the gate source. Refer to figure 21 when deciding
on the soft start time. However, the soft start time changes depending on the gate capacity of PMOSFET.

5. Selection of Switching MOSFET
Although there is no problem as long as the absolute maximum rating is the rated current of L and at least C’s pressure
capacity and commutation diode’s VF, to actualize high-speed switching, one with small gate capacity (injected charge amount)
should be selected.
※ Excess current protection setup value or higher recommended.
※ High efficiency can be achieved if one with low ON resistance is selected.
6. Selection of Commutation Diode
Please select a Schottky barrier diode with greater current capability than L’s rated current and reverse-pressure capacity
greater than C’s pressure capacity, especially with low forward voltage VF.

●Phase Compensation Setup Rules
・Stability Conditions of Applications
The stability conditions related to negative feedback are as follows:
・When the gain is 1 (0dB) and the phase-lag is under 150 º (therefore with a phase margin of over 30º)
Also, a DC/DC converter application samples the switching frequency, so the GBW of the entire series is set to 1/10 below the switching
frequency. To summarize, the characteristics targeted by the application are as below:
・When the gain is 1 (0dB) and the phase-lag is under 150 º (therefore with a phase margin of over 30 º)
・GBW (frequency at gain 0dB) at that time is 1/10 below the switching frequency
Therefore, to improve response with GBW limits, the switching frequency must be higher.
A trick to secure stability with phase compensation is to cancel the second phase-lag (-180 º ) caused by the LC resonance with the
second phase-lead (put in two phase-leads).
Phase-lead is by the ESR component of the output condenser and the CR of the error amp output Comp terminal.
With a DC/DC converter application, because there is always an LC resonance circuit at the output, the phase-lag at that area is -180º.
When the output condenser is one with a large ESR (several Ω), such as a aluminum electrolysis condenser, there is a phase-lead of
+90º, and the phase-lag is -90º. When an output condenser with low ESR such as a ceramic condenser is used, an R for the ESR
component should be inserted.

To setup the frequency to insert the phase-lead, for the aim of canceling the LC resonance, ideally it should be set in the area
of the LC resonance frequency.
Because this setup was very basically designed and strict calculations have not been made,
adjustments with the actual equipment may be required. Also, these characteristics change
depending on factors such as different substrate layouts and load conditions, therefore when
designing for mass production, adequate confirmations with actual equipment must be made.

○ The decoupling condensers CVCC and CREG should be placed as close as possible to the IC pin.
○ There is a possibility that a large current is sent to CSGND and PGND, so each should be independently wired, and at the
same time impedance should be lowered.
○ Take care that there is no noise riding on 8pin VDAC, 9pin ISET, 26pin RT and 28pin Comp.
○ 5pin PWM, 6pin SYNC and 12-17pin LED1-4 all switch, therefore be careful that the periphery pattern is unaffected.
○ The areas with thick lines should be laid out as short as possible with wide patterns.

zOperation Notes
1) Absolute maximum ratings
Use of the IC in excess of absolute maximum ratings such as the applied voltage or operating temperature range may result in IC damage.
Assumptions should not be made regarding the state of the IC (short mode or open mode) when such damage is suffered. A physical safety
measure such as a fuse should be implemented when use of the IC in a special mode where the absolute maximum ratings may be exceeded
is anticipated.
2) GND potential
Ensure a minimum GND pin potential in all operating conditions.
3) Setting of heat
Use a thermal design that allows for a sufficient margin in light of the power dissipation (Pd) in actual operating conditions.
4) Pin short and mistake fitting
Use caution when orienting and positioning the IC for mounting on printed circuit boards. Improper mounting may result in damage to the IC.
Shorts between output pins or between output pins and the power supply and GND pins caused by the presence of a foreign object may result
in damage to the IC.
5) Actions in strong magnetic field
Use caution when using the IC in the presence of a strong magnetic field as doing so may cause the IC to malfunction.
6) Testing on application boards
When testing the IC on an application board, connecting a capacitor to a pin with low impedance subjects the IC to stress. Always discharge
capacitors after each process or step. Ground the IC during assembly steps as an antistatic measure, and use similar caution when
transporting or storing the IC. Always turn the IC's power supply off before connecting it to or removing it from a jig or fixture during the
inspection process.
7) Ground wiring patterns
When using both small signal and large current GND patterns, it is recommended to isolate the two ground patterns, placing a single ground
point at the application's reference point so that the pattern wiring resistance and voltage variations caused by large currents do not cause
variations in the small signal ground voltage. Be careful not to change the GND wiring patterns of any external components.
8) Regarding input pin of the IC
This monolithic IC contains P+ isolation and P substrate layers between adjacent elements in order to keep them isolated. P/N junctions are
formed at the intersection of these P layers with the N layers of other elements to create a variety of parasitic elements.
For example, when the resistors and transistors are connected to the pins as shown in Fig. 41, a parasitic diode or a transistor operates by
inverting the pin voltage and GND voltage.
The formation of parasitic elements as a result of the relationships of the potentials of different pins is an inevitable result of the IC's
architecture. The operation of parasitic elements can cause interference with circuit operation as well as IC malfunction and damage. For these
reasons, it is necessary to use caution so that the IC is not used in a way that will trigger the operation of parasitic elements such as by the
application of voltages lower than the GND (P substrate) voltage to input and output pins.

9) Overcurrent protection circuits
An overcurrent protection circuit designed according to the output current is incorporated for the prevention of IC damage that may result in the
event of load shorting. This protection circuit is effective in preventing damage due to sudden and unexpected accidents. However, the IC
should not be used in applications characterized by the continuous operation or transitioning of the protection circuits. At the time of thermal
designing, keep in mind that the current capacity has negative characteristics to temperatures.
10) Thermal shutdown circuit (TSD)
This IC incorporates a built-in TSD circuit for the protection from thermal destruction. The IC should be used within the specified power
dissipation range. However, in the event that the IC continues to be operated in excess of its power dissipation limits, the attendant rise in the
chip's junction temperature Tj will trigger the TSD circuit to turn off all output power elements. The circuit automatically resets once the
junction temperature Tj drops.
Operation of the TSD circuit presumes that the IC's absolute maximum ratings have been exceeded. Application designs should never make
use of the TSD circuit.
11) Testing on application boards
At the time of inspection of the installation boards, when the capacitor is connected to the pin with low impedance, be sure to discharge
electricity per process because it may load stresses to the IC. Always turn the IC's power supply off before connecting it to or removing it from
a jig or fixture during the inspection process. Ground the IC during assembly steps as an antistatic measure, and use similar caution when
transporting or storing the IC.
