Pin Descriptions
○PIN1:VCC
This is the power supply pin of the IC. Input range is from 11.5V to 35V.
The operation starts at more than 7.5V(Typ) and shuts down at less than 7.2V(Typ).
○PIN2:FAILB
This is FAILB signal output (OPEN DRAIN) pin. At normal operation, NMOS will be in OPEN state, during abnormality
detection NMOS will be in ON (500 ohm(Typ))state.
○PIN3:UVLO
Under Voltage Lockout pin is the input voltage of the power stage. IC starts boost operation if UVLO is more than
2.5V(Typ) and stops if lower than 2.4V(Typ). It can also be used for reset when latched off by protection.
The power of step-up DC/DC converter needs to be set detection level by dividing the resistance.
○PIN4:REG90
The REG pin is used in the DC/DC converter driver block to output 9V. Available current is 20mA(Min). Using the REG pin
at current higher than 20mA can affect the IC base voltage, causing the IC to malfunction and leading to heat generation
of the IC itself. To avoid this problem, it is recommended to make load setting to the minimum level.
The characteristic of VCC line regulation at REG90 is shown as [Figure 6]. VCC must be used in more than 11.5V for
stable 9V output. Place the ceramic capacitor connected to REG90 pin (2.2uF to 10uF) closest to REG90-AGND pin.
○PIN5:STB
This is the ON/OFF setting terminal of the IC. It is allowed for use to reset the IC from shutdown.
※The IC state is switched according to voltages input in the STB pin.
※Avoid using the STB pin between two states (0.8 to 2.0V).
○PIN6:N
The N pin is used to output power to the external NMOS gate driver for the DC/DC converter in the amplitude range of
approximately 0V to 9V. Output ON resistance H - side is 2.5Ω (Typ) and L-side is 3.0Ω (Typ).
Frequency can be set by the resistor connected to RT. Refer to <RT> pin description for the frequency setting.
○PIN7:PGND
The PGND pin is a power ground pin for the driver block of the N output pin.
○PIN8:CS
CS pin is current detector for DC/DC current mode inductor current control pin.
Current flowing through the inductor is converted into voltage by the current sensing resistor RCS connected to the CS
pin and this voltage is compared with voltage set with the error amplifier to control the DC/DC output voltage. The CS pin
also incorporates the over current protection (OCP) function. If the CS voltage reaches 0.45V(Typ) or more, switching
operation will be forced to stopped.
○PIN9:DUTYON
This is the ON/OFF setting terminal of the LED PWM Over Duty Protection (ODP). By adjusting DUTYON input voltage, it
is ON/OFF of the ODP adjusted.
State
DUTYON input voltage
ODP=ON
DUTYON= -0.3V to +0.8V
ODP=OFF
DUTYON= +1.5V to +18.0V
○PIN10:OVP
The OVP pin is an input pin for over voltage protection and short circuit protection of DC/DC output voltage. When voltage
of it exceeds 3.0V(Typ), N pin will stop. This case is not CP count. When OVP pin voltage <0.2V(Typ) or lower, short
circuit protection (SCP) function is activated, and output of gate driver will become low immediately. And system is
stopped after a CP count. The setting example is separately described in the section ”3.2.6 OVP Setting”.

○PIN11, 14, 17, 20 :S1-S4, PIN23 : VREF
LED constant current driver is connected to the source of bill FET outside. Output current ILED is inversely proportional to
the resistance value. This is the input pin for analog dimming signal. Output current ILED is directly proportional to the
input voltage value. VREF pin is high impedance because the internal resistance is not connected to a certain bias.
Even if VREF function is not used, pin bias is still required because the open connection of this pin is not a fixed potential.
VREF pin voltage is set as 「VVREF」, LED current 「ILED」can be calculated as below.

Figure 9. ILED setting example
For the adjustment of LED current with analog dimming by VREF, note that the output voltage of the DC/DC converter
largely changes accompanied by LED VF changes if the VREF voltage is changed rapidly. In particularly, when the VREF
voltages changed from high to low, it makes the LED terminal voltage seem higher transiently, which may influence
application such as activation of the LED short circuit protection. It needs to be adequately verified with an actual device
when analog dimming is used.
○PIN12, 15, 18, 21:LED1-LED4
LED constant current driver output pins. Drain of external NMOS is connected. Setting of LED current value is adjustable
by setting the VREF voltage and connecting a resistor to S pin. For details, see the explanation of <PIN:11, 14, 17, 20 S1
- S4, Pin23 : VREF >.
The abnormal voltage of this pin activates the protection function of LED OPEN detection, LED SHORT detection.
Please refer to < 2.2 List of The Protection Function Detection Condition> for details.
○PIN13, 16, 19, 22:G1-G4
This is the output terminal for driving the gate of the boost MOSFET. The high level
is REG90. Frequency can be set by the resistor connected to RT. Refer to <RT> pin description for the frequency setting.
○PIN24:LSP
LED Short detection voltage setting pin. Resistance voltage divider is internally on IC. It is set as 1.2V.
When need to establish the other voltage, use an external resistance voltage divider.
LSP pin voltage is set as LED SHORT PROTECTION detection voltage and can be calculated as below.
LEDSHORT  6.7 VLSP[V ] LEDSHORT:LSP detection voltage, VLSP:LSP pin voltage
Set LSP voltage in the range of 0.8V to 3.0V.
In addition to considering the voltage of the internal resistance voltage divider, it's necessary to establish the voltage of
the LSP terminal.
○PIN25, 26, 27, 28:PWM1-PWM4
These are the PWM dimming signal input terminals. The high / low level of PWM pins are the following.

○PIN29:DUTYP
This is the ODP setting pin. The ODP (Over Duty Protection) is the function to limit DUTY of LED PWM frequency fPWM
by ODP detection Duty (ODPduty) set by resistance (RDUTY) connected to DUTYP pin.
○Relationship between LED PWM frequency fPWM, ODP Detection Duty and DUTYP resistance (ideal)

[k] The RDUTYP setting ranges from 15kΩ to 600kΩ.
The setting example is separately described in section ”3.2.6 ODP Setting”.

[k] ○PIN31:SSFB
The SSFB pin is used to make setting of soft start time and duty for soft start, and DC/DC current mode control error
amplifier. It performs constant current charge of 10uA to the external capacitor connected to SSFB terminal, which
enables soft-start of DC/DC converter.
The SSFB pin detects the voltages of LED pins (1 to 4) and controls inductor current so that the pin voltage of the LED
located in the row with the highest Vf will come to 0.8V(Typ) (VREF=1.5V). As a result, the pin voltages of other LEDs
become higher by Vf variation. After completion of soft start, the SSFB pin is put into high-impedance state with the PWM
signal being in the low state, thus maintaining the SSFB voltage.
Since the LED protection function (OPEN/SHORT detection) works when it turns to the LED feedback mode.

Figure 13. Circuit Behavior at Startup
 Description of startup sequence
(1) Set the STB and PWM pin to “ON”.
(2) Set all systems to “ON”, SSFB charge will be initiated.
(3) Since the SSFB pin reach the lower limit of the internal sawtooth wave of the IC, the DC/DC converter operates to
start VOUT voltage rising.
(4) The VOUT voltage continuously rising to reach a voltage at which LED current starts flowing.
(5) When the LED current reaches the set amount of current, the startup operation is completed.
(6) After that, conduct normal operation following the feedback operation sequence with the LED pins.
If the SSFB pin sink/source current is ±100uA, the LED protection function will be activated.
 SSFB capacitance setting procedure
As aforementioned, this IC stops DC/DC converter when the PWM pin is set to Low level and conducts step-up operation
only in the section in which the PWM pin is maintained at High level. Consequently, setting the PWM duty cycle to the
minimum will extend the startup time. The startup time also varies with application settings of output capacitance, LED
current, output voltage, and others.
Startup time at minimum duty cycle can be approximated according to the following method:
Make measurement of VOUT startup time with a 100% duty cycle, first. Take this value as “Trise100”.
The startup time “Trise_min” for the relevant application with the minimum duty cycle is given by the following equation.
Trise _ min 
Trise _ 100[sec]
[sec]
Min _ Duty [ratio ]
However, since this calculation method is just for approximation, use it only as a guide.
Assuming that the SSFB pin voltage is VSSFB, the time is given by the following equation:
TSSFB 
CSSFB[ F ]  VSSFB[V ]
10[ A]
[ Sec ]
As a result, it is recommended to make SSFB capacitance setting so that “TSSFB” will be greater than “Trise_min”

3.2.2 LED Current Setting (VREF pin, Sx pin)
First, VREF pin voltage is determined. When performing Analog dimming, be careful of VREF pin input range(0.2 to 2.5V)
and decide typical voltage.
In BD9415FS, LED constant current is controlled by Sx pin voltage as a reference point. Sx pin is controlled to become
one fifth of the voltage of VREF pin voltage. In the case of VREF=1V, it is set to Sx=0.2V.
Therefore, when the resistance to Sx pin versus GND is set to "RS", the relationship between RS, VREF and ILED is as
follows

3.2.3 LED Short Detection Voltage Setting (LSP terminal)
The voltage of LED short detection can be arbitrarily set up with LSP
pin voltage. It is possible to change the LED short detection voltage,
please input (0.8V to 3.0V) to LSP pin.

it becomes like the following formula.

The OVP terminal is the input for over-voltage protection of output voltage.

3.3. DCDC Parts Selection
3.3.1. OCP Setting / Calculation Method for the Current Rating of DCDC Parts
OCP detection stops the switching when the CS pin voltage is more than 0.45V(Typ). The resistor value of CS pin, RCS
needs to be considered by the coil L current. And the current rating of DCDC external parts is required more than the
peak current of the coil.
Shown below are the calculation method of the coil peak current, the selection method of Rcs (the resistor value of CS
pin) and the current rating of the external DCDC parts at Continuous Current Mode.
(The calculation method of the coil peak current, IPEAK at Continuous Current Mode)
At first, since the ripple voltage at CS pin depends on the application
condition of DCDC, the following variables are used.
Vout voltage = VOUT [V]
LED total current = IOUT [A]
DCDC input voltage of the power stage = VIN [V]
Efficiency of DCDC =η [%]
L
VIN
fsw
VOUT [V ]  I OUT [ A]
[ A] VIN [V ] [%]
GATE
And the ripple current of the inductor L (ΔIL[A]) can be calculated by
using DCDC the switching frequency, fSW, as follows.
IL 
CS
Rcs
GND
(VOUT [V ]  VIN [V ])  VIN [V ]
[ A] L[ H ]  VOUT [V ]  f SW [ Hz]

IL[ A]

… (1)
N[V]
On the other hand, the peak current of the inductor IPEAK can be expressed
as follows.
I PEAK  I IN [ A] 
Therefore, the bottom of the ripple current IMIN is
(A)
IL[ A]
 I IN [ A] 
or 0

(t)
Ipeak
If IMIN>0, the operation mode is CCM (Continuous Current Mode),
otherwise the mode is DCM (Discontinuous Current Mode).
(The selection method of RCS at Continuous Current Mode)
IPEAK flows into RCS and that causes the voltage signal to CS pin. (Please
refer to the timing chart at the right)
Peak voltage VCSPEAK is as follows.

VCS PEAK  RCS  I PEAK [V ] ΔIL

And then, the average input current IIN is calculated by the following
equation.
I IN 

As this VCSPEAK reaches 0.4V (typical), the DCDC output stops the
switching.
Therefore, RCS value is necessary to meet the condition below.

If the switching frequency, fSW = 200kHz, and the inductor, L=100μH, the ripple current of the inductor L (ΔIL [A]) can be
calculated as follows.

Therefore the inductor peak current, IPEAK is

…RCS value confirmation
The above condition is met.
And IPEAK_DET, the current OCP works, is
I PEAK _ DET 

If the current rating of the used parts is 2A,

…current rating confirmation of DCDC

This inequality meets the above relationship. The parts selection is proper.
And IMIN, the bottom of the IL ripple current, can be calculated as follows.
I MIN  I IN [ A] 
IL[ A]
[ A]  1.13[ A]  0.48[ A]  0.65[ A]  0 2
This inequality implies that the operation is continuous current mode.

Figure 21. Inductor current waveform and diagram
In continuous current mode, ⊿IL is set to 30% to 50% of the output load current in many cases.
In using smaller inductor, the boost is operated by the discontinuous current mode in which the coil current returns to
zero at every period.
*The current exceeding the rated current value of inductor flown through the coil causes magnetic saturation, results in
decreasing in efficiency. Inductor needs to be selected to have such adequate margin that peak current does not
exceed the rated current value of the inductor.
*To reduce inductor loss and improve efficiency, inductor with low resistance components (DCR, ACR) needs to be
selected.
3.3.3. Output Capacitance COUT Selection
Output capacitor needs to be selected in consideration of equivalent series resistance
VIN
required to even the stable area of output voltage or ripple voltage. Be aware that set
LED current may not be flown due to decrease in LED terminal voltage if output ripple
IL
component is high.

Output ripple voltage _VOUT is determined by Equation (4):

COUT
VOUT  IL  RESR [V ] 
(4)
When the coil current is charged to the output capacitor as MOS turns off, much output
ripple is caused. Much ripple voltage of the output capacitor may cause the LED current
ripple.
Figure 22. Output capacitor diagram
* Rating of capacitor needs to be selected to have adequate margin against output voltage.
* To use an electrolytic capacitor, adequate margin against allowable current is also necessary. Be aware that the LED
current is larger than the set value transitionally in case that LED is provided with PWM dimming especially.
3.3.4. MOSFET Selection
There is no problem if the absolute maximum rating is larger than the rated current of the inductor L, or is larger than
the sum of the tolerance voltage of COUT and the rectifying diode VF. The product with small gate capacitance (injected
charge) needs to be selected to achieve high-speed switching.
* One with over current protection setting or higher is recommended.
* The selection of one with small on resistance results in high efficiency.
3.3.5. Rectifying Diode Selection
A schottky barrier diode which has current ability higher than the rated current of L, reverse voltage larger than the
tolerance voltage of COUT, and low forward voltage VF especially needs to be selected.

3.4 Loop Compensation
A current mode DCDC converter has each one pole (phase lag) f P due to CR filter composed of the output capacitor and
the output resistance (= LED current) and zero (phase lead) fZ by the output capacitor and the ESR of the capacitor.
Moreover, a step-up DCDC converter has RHP zero (right-half plane zero point) fZRHP which is unique with the boost
converter. This zero may cause the unstable feedback. To avoid this by RHP zero, the loop compensation that the
cross-over frequency fc, set as follows, is suggested.
fc = fZRHP /5 (fZRHP: RHP zero frequency)
Considering the response speed, the calculated constant below is not always optimized completely. It needs to be

response for the abrupt change of dimming signal is required.
To improve the transient response, RFB1 needs to be increased, and CFB1 needs to be decreased. It needs to be

decreased.

Operational Notes
1.
Reverse Connection of Power Supply
Connecting the power supply in reverse polarity can damage the IC. Take precautions against reverse polarity when
connecting the power supply, such as mounting an external diode between the power supply and the IC’s power
supply pins.
2.
Power Supply Lines
Design the PCB layout pattern to provide low impedance supply lines. Connect a capacitor to ground at all power
supply pins. Consider the effect of temperature and aging on the capacitance value when using electrolytic
capacitors.
3.
Ground Voltage
Ensure that no pins are at a voltage below that of the ground pin at any time, even during transient condition.
4.
Ground Wiring Pattern
When using both small-signal and large-current ground traces, the two ground traces should be routed separately but
connected to a single ground at the reference point of the application board to avoid fluctuations in the small-signal
ground caused by large currents. Also ensure that the ground traces of external components do not cause variations
on the ground voltage. The ground lines must be as short and thick as possible to reduce line impedance.
5.
Thermal Consideration
Should by any chance the maximum junction temperature rating be exceeded the rise in temperature of the chip may
result in deterioration of the properties of the chip. In case of exceeding this absolute maximum rating, increase the
board size and copper area to prevent exceeding the maximum junction temperature rating.
6.
Recommended Operating Conditions
These conditions represent a range within which the expected characteristics of the IC can be approximately
obtained. The electrical characteristics are guaranteed under the conditions of each parameter.
7.
Inrush Current
When power is first supplied to the IC, it is possible that the internal logic may be unstable and inrush current may
flow instantaneously due to the internal powering sequence and delays, especially if the IC has more than one power
supply. Therefore, give special consideration to power coupling capacitance, power wiring, width of ground wiring,
and routing of connections.
8.
Operation Under Strong Electromagnetic Field
Operating the IC in the presence of a strong electromagnetic field may cause the IC to malfunction.
9.
Testing on Application Boards
When testing the IC on an application board, connecting a capacitor directly to a low-impedance output pin may
subject the IC to stress. Always discharge capacitors completely after each process or step. The IC’s power supply
should always be turned off completely before connecting or removing it from the test setup during the inspection
process. To prevent damage from static discharge, ground the IC during assembly and use similar precautions during
transport and storage.
10. Inter-pin Short and Mounting Errors
Ensure that the direction and position are correct when mounting the IC on the PCB. Incorrect mounting may result in
damaging the IC. Avoid nearby pins being shorted to each other especially to ground, power supply and output pin.
Inter-pin shorts could be due to many reasons such as metal particles, water droplets (in very humid environment)
and unintentional solder bridge deposited in between pins during assembly to name a few.
11. Unused Input Pins
Input pins of an IC are often connected to the gate of a MOS transistor. The gate has extremely high impedance and
extremely low capacitance. If left unconnected, the electric field from the outside can easily charge it. The small
charge acquired in this way is enough to produce a significant effect on the conduction through the transistor and
cause unexpected operation of the IC. So unless otherwise specified, unused input pins should be connected to the
power supply or ground line.

12. Regarding the 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 the P layers with the N layers of other elements, creating a
parasitic diode or transistor. For example (refer to figure below):
When GND > Pin A and GND > Pin B, the P-N junction operates as a parasitic diode.
When GND > Pin B, the P-N junction operates as a parasitic transistor.
Parasitic diodes inevitably occur in the structure of the IC. The operation of parasitic diodes can result in mutual
interference among circuits, operational faults, or physical damage. Therefore, conditions that cause these diodes to
operate, such as applying a voltage lower than the GND voltage to an input pin (and thus to the P substrate) should
be avoided.

13. Ceramic Capacitor
When using a ceramic capacitor, determine the dielectric constant considering the change of capacitance with
temperature and the decrease in nominal capacitance due to DC bias and others.
14. Area of Safe Operation (ASO)
Operate the IC such that the output voltage, output current, and the maximum junction temperature rating are all
within the Area of Safe Operation (ASO).
15. Thermal Shutdown Circuit(TSD)
This IC has a built-in thermal shutdown circuit that prevents heat damage to the IC. Normal operation should always
be within the IC’s maximum junction temperature rating. If however the rating is exceeded for a continued period, the
junction temperature (Tj) will rise which will activate the TSD circuit that will turn OFF all output pins. When the Tj falls
below the TSD threshold, the circuits are automatically restored to normal operation.
Note that the TSD circuit operates in a situation that exceeds the absolute maximum ratings and therefore, under no
circumstances, should the TSD circuit be used in a set design or for any purpose other than protecting the IC from
heat damage.
16. Over Current Protection Circuit (OCP)
This IC incorporates an integrated overcurrent protection circuit that is activated when the load is shorted. This
protection circuit is effective in preventing damage due to sudden and unexpected incidents. However, the IC should
not be used in applications characterized by continuous operation or transitioning of the protection circuit.
17. Disturbance light
In a device where a portion of silicon is exposed to light such as in a WL-CSP, IC characteristics may be affected due
to photoelectric effect. For this reason, it is recommended to come up with countermeasures that will prevent the chip
from being exposed to light.
