DESCRIPTION
The TPS60230 charge pump is optimized for white
LED supplies in backlit color display applications. The
device provides a constant current, set by an external
resistor, for each LED. The supply voltage ranges
from 2.7 V to 6.5 V and is ideally suited for all
applications powered by a single LI-Ion battery cell or
three to four NiCd, NiMH, or Alkaline battery cells.
The TPS60230 provides up to 25 mA per LED, for a
total of 125 mA, for input voltages ranging from 3.1 V
to 6.5 V. High efficiency is achieved by utilizing a
1x/1.5x fractional conversion technique in combination with very low dropout current sources. Additionally, the current controlled charge pump ensures
low input current ripple and EMI. Only two external 1
µF and two 0.47 µF capacitors are required to build a
complete small and low cost power supply solution.
The TP60230 switches at 1 MHz operating frequency
and is available in a small 16-pin QFN (RGT)
package to keep board space to a minimum.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated
circuits be handled with appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation
procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision
integrated circuits may be more susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could
cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
OPERATION
The TPS60230 uses a fractional conversion charge pump to generate a supply voltage for the integrated current
sinks. These current sinks are used to ensure a constant current for each LED. Depending on the input voltage
and programmed LED current, the charge pump either operates in the 1x mode or in the 1.5x mode. By
switching automatically between these two modes, the circuit optimizes power conversion efficiency as well as
extends operating time by allowing the discharge of the battery completely.
The charge pump can generate 125 mA of output current, so each of the 5 LED outputs can be powered with up
to 25 mA of current. The maximum LED current is set by a resistor connected to the ISET pin. This resistor
programs a reference current, which is current mirrored to set the LED current.
Applying a PWM signal to the EN1 pin and/or the EN2 pin controls the LED brightness. See a detailed
description in the section Analog Dimming Using ISET Pin.
LED CURRENT ADJUSTMENT (ISET)
A resistor programs a reference current, which is current mirrored to set the LED current. The voltage at the
ISET pin depends on the status of EN1 and EN2. The current in each LED is typically 260 times the current
through the resistor at ISET.

The LED current varies linearly from 0 mA to ILED(max) mA by applying a PMW signal with 0% to 100% duty cycle.
The LED brightness can however also be controlled by an analog control signal that is fed into the ISET pin.

SLVS516A – MAY 2004 – REVISED JUNE 2004
DETAILED DESCRIPTION (continued)
SOFT START
The TPS60230 has an internal soft start circuit to limit the inrush current during startup. This prevents possible
voltage drops of the input voltage if a high impedance power source is connected to the input of the TPS60230.
When the device starts up with an output voltage that is below the input voltage, the output capacitor is charged
directly from the input with a current source. The output current increases linearly until the output reaches within
300 mV of the input voltage. When the programmed output current can be reached with the 1x mode, the
TPS60230 terminates the soft start and begins normal operation. When the desired output current cannot be
reached, the charge pump begins operation in 1.5x mode and pumps the output voltage up to the needed level
to reach the programmed output current.
ENABLE (EN1, EN2)
The enable pins EN1 and EN2 are used to enable the device or set it into shutdown. The TPS60230 is enabled if
one of the enable pins is pulled higher than the enable trip point of 1.3 V. The device starts up by going through
the soft start routine as described in the section Soft Start. Pulling both pins to GND, after a delay, programs the
device to shutdown. In shutdown, the charge pump, current sources, voltage reference, oscillator, and all other
functions are turned off and the supply current is reduced to 0.1 µA.
EN1 and EN2 can also be used for dimming. The logic levels at EN1 and EN2 set the minimum voltage at the
current mirrors and the voltage at the ISET pin to GND. This sets the current at the LEDs to be either the full
current or a fraction of the full current. See Table 1 for further details. The maximum current through the LEDs is
set by a resistor connected between ISET and GND.
EN1 and EN2 can also be used for PWM dimming. The PWM signal can either be applied to EN1 or EN2, or
both inputs can be tied together and the PWM signal can be applied to both pins. Depending on the
configuration, the current during PWM dimming is switched between 0 mA and its maximum (EN1 and EN2
connected to the PWM signal) or between 0 mA and 1/3 of the full LED current if EN2 = 0 and EN1 is toggled.
When EN1 = 0 and EN2 is toggled, the output current can be changed between 0 mA and 2/3 of the full range.

UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT
The undervoltage lockout circuit shuts down the device when the voltage at VIN drops below a typical threshold
of 2.15 V. This prevents damage to the device. The UVLO circuit allows the device to start up again after the
voltage on the VIN pin has increased by about 100 mV above the UVLO lockout threshold.
SHORT CIRCUIT AND OVERTEMPERTURE PROTECTION
The current at the VOUT pin is limited typically to 250 mA. When the junction temperature exceeds 155°C, the
device shuts down to protect the device from damage. After the temperature decreases to about 135°C, the
device starts up again if it is enabled.
OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION AT VOUT
The device uses the voltage at D1 to regulate voltage at VOUT. In case D1 is not connected, an overvoltage
protection circuit ensures that the output voltage at VOUT does not exceed its limits. The connection of the LEDs
must be started using D1 first. For all other LEDs there is no restriction in the sequence. For example, if there
are only 3 LEDs used, the first LED is connected to D1 and the other two LEDs can be connected to any other of
the D2 to D5 pins.

THEORY OF OPERATION/DESIGN PROCEDURE
Capacitor Selection
Ceramic capacitors such as X5R or X7R are recommended to be used with the TPS60230. For the two flying
capacitors C1 and C2, it is important to use low ESR capacitors to avoid unnecessary efficiency losses. Low
ESR capacitors on VOUT reduce the ripple voltage on the supply of the current sources. Table 2 lists capacitor
types that have been tested with the TPS60230.

Power Efficiency
The power conversion efficiency of the TPS60230 can be calculated by adding up the products of each LED
current and voltage and dividing it by the product of the input voltage and current. With a fully charged battery
where the input voltage is typically above the LED forward voltage, the charge pump operates in the 1x mode
and efficiency is very high. As the battery discharges, there is a point where the current sources no longer have
enough voltage overhead to maintain a constant current regulation. At that point, the charge pump switches into
the 1.5x mode. The conversion efficiency is lowest at the crossover. As the battery discharges further, the
efficiency again increases until at about 3.1 V where it reaches a second maximum. Below 3.1 V input voltage,
the maximum current per LED is less than 25 mA.
Power Dissipation
The maximum power dissipation inside the TPS60230 can be calculated based on the following equation:
PD
max
= [(1.5 × VI) – VO + 0.4 V] × IO
The maximum power dissipation occurs when the input voltage is just low enough to operate in 1.5x mode, with
a forward voltage of the white LED at maximum. This is typically for VI = 4.2 V and a forward voltage of 3.6 V.
This needs to be lower than the maximum allowed power dissipation of the package, which can be calculated
using the following equation:
T
T
A
P
Jmax
D max, package
T
ja
For example, the worst case power dissipation occurs at the input voltage level where the charge pump switches
from the 1x mode to the 1.5x mode. At this operating point, the supply voltage to the current sources is at its
maximum and the current sources must drop the most voltage in order to maintain a regulated output current.
The worst case power dissipation occurs when all 5 LED outputs are fully loaded with 25 mA of LED current.
• With: VI = 4.2 V, Vf = 3.6 V, IO = 125 mA (1.5x mode)
• PD max = 0.39 W

APPLICATION INFORMATION
TYPICAL APPLICATION OF A SMART PHONE DISPLAY WITH RESISTORS CONNECTED IN
PARALLEL
If more than 25 mA of output current is needed, then the input pins to the current sinks can be connected in
parallel as shown in the following application figure. This method can also be used to connect a LC display with
only two connections for the white LEDs.

ANALOG DIMMING USING ISET PIN
The ISET pin can be used to connect an analog dc signal in the range of 0 mV to 600 mV (EN1 = EN2 = 1) for
analog dimming of the white LEDs. For an input voltage of 0 V at ISET, the current is at its maximum, whereas at
600 mV, the LED current is zero. The maximum current is:
• For EN2 = EN1 = 1: ILED = Vset/Rset × K = 0.6V/6kR × 270 = 27 mA per LED
• For EN2 = 1, EN0 = 1: ILED = Vset/Rset × K = 0.4V/6kR × 270 = 18 mA per LED
• For EN2 = 0, EN1 = 1: ILED = Vset/Rset × K = 0.2V/6kR × 270 = 9 mA per LED
• With EN2, EN1 set to 10 or 01, a voltage of 400 mV or 200 mV is required to set the LED current to zero.

APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued)
TYPICAL APPLICATION USING 2 WHITE LEDs AND 6 GREEN LEDs FOR LCD BACKLIGHT AND
KEYBOARD LIGHTING
The TPS60230 can be used to power any kind of LED. It is also possible to mix white LEDs with color LEDs
which have a lower forward voltage. The LED with the highest forward voltage (typically the white LED) has to be
connected to D1, because the output voltage of the charge pump is regulated in such a way to keep the voltage
drop from D1 to GND at 400mV (with EN1 = EN2 = 1). Therefore the output voltage of the charge pump is
regulated to:
VOUT = VD1 + VFLEDD1
VOUT— Output voltage at VOUT
VD1— Voltage from D1 to GND (Vsource at D1 pin, see electrical characteristics)
VFLEDD1— Forward voltage of the LED connected to D1
Resistor Rg is used to provide current sharing between the 6 green LEDs. The upper value is calculated using:

PROPOSED LAND PATTERN FOR PCB PRODUCTION
Refer to the application note SLUA271 for the proposed land pattern of the QFN package.
PHOTO FLASH APPLICATIONS
The TPS60230 can be used to power one or more white LEDs for photo flash applications. These applications
usually require a certain current for a short period of time. The photo flash is typically turned on for 100 ms to
500 ms and turned off for a longer period of time. For such applications, when the TPS60230 is not turned on
continuously, the device can support an output current of 150 mA. See Figure 5 for the input voltage needed for
a certain LED forward voltage and LED current.
