Application note
6-row / 30-mA LED driver with boost converter
for the backlight of LCD panels
Introduction
The LED7706 consists of a high-efficiency monolithic boost converter and six controlled
current generators (rows) specifically designed to supply the LED arrays used in the
backlights of LCD panels. The device can manage an output voltage of up to 36 V (ten white
LEDs per row).
The generators can be externally-programmed to sink up to 30 mA and can be dimmed via
a PWM signal (a 1% dimming duty-cycle at 20 kHz can be managed). The device detects
and manages the open and shorted LED faults and leaves unused rows floating. Basic
protections (output over-voltage, internal MOSFET over-current and thermal shutdown) are
provided.

LED7706 demonstration board
The LED7706 demonstration board has been designed to manage six strings of 8 to 10
white LEDs each.
Table 1 summarizes the board features and Figure 2 shows the schematic of the LED7706
demonstration board. The input voltage range is limited to 32 V because of the 35 V rated
input capacitor. Extended operating input voltage ranges (up to 36 V) can be achieved by
using a 50-V rated MLCC.

Configuration
The LED7706 demonstration board allows the user to select the desired mode of operation
using the SW1 and SW2 selectors. Refer to the following configuration description. A red
LED is connected to the FAULT pin to easily monitor its status; if this option is not desired,
the monitor LED can be disconnected by opening the J2 jumper.
7.1
SW1 fixed or adjustable switching frequency (FSW pin)
The SW1 selector is used to choose between the fixed switching frequency (660 kHz) and a
user-defined switching frequency in the range of 200 kHz to 1 MHz. When connected in the
lower position, the fixed switching frequency is selected.
If SW1 is in the upper position, the switching frequency is given by:
F SW = 2.5 ⋅ R 5

The R5 resistor is set to 330 kΩ (FSW = 825 kHz).

SW2 fault management mode (MODE pin)
The SW2 selector is used to connect the MODE to AVCC or ground. When the jumper is set
to the upper position, the MODE pin is connected to ground and the corresponding fault
management is summarized in the first column of Table 4.

Otherwise, when SW2 is set to the lower position, the MODE pin is connected to AVCC and

SW3 enable function
The terminals of the switch SW3 are connected on one side to the EN pin and on the other
side to ground. Therefore, when the switch is not pressed, the EN pin is floating, which
implies that the device is working. When the SW3 pin is pressed, the EN pin is connected to
ground. When the SW3 is released, the device re-starts (the soft-start is performed). The
SW3 switch can be activated whenever a new start-up is required or to escape a latched
condition.

Test setup
A proper WLED array is required as load to correctly evaluate the LED7706. Figure 7 shows
a possible assembly of LED7706 with a WLEDs test board. This demonstration board
includes 60 white LEDs (20 mA), switches, jumpers and test points used to easily perform
the functional tests of the LED7706. Chapter 10 provides a brief description of the test
board and its schematic, which can be used as reference for any customized board.

Getting started
Getting started
The following step-by-step sequences are provided as a guideline to quickly evaluate the
performance of the LED7706 board.
9.1
Quick startup
Note:
Working in a ESD-protected environment is highly recommended. First check all wrist straps
and mat earth connections before handling the LED7706 board.
1.
Connect the power supply to the LED7706 board and insert the A-meter as shown in
Figure 8. Connect a V-meter between VBOOST and ground to monitor the output
voltage.
2.
Connect the proper WLEDs array to the J8 connector or to the row1-row6 and
VBOOST terminals of the LED7706 board.
3.
Set the PWM signal (20 kHz, 5% duty-cycle, 3.3 V CMOS logic levels) on a signal
generator and provide it to the DIM input.
4.
Set SW1 and SW2 to the lower position (fixed frequency and MODE to AVCC). Do not
change jumper settings when the board is switched on.
5.
Set the input voltage to 12 V.
6.
Turn on the PWM generator.
7.
Turn on the VIN supply: the device turns on.
8.
Vary the input voltage in the range 4.5–32 V.
9.
Set the input voltage to 12 V.
10. Vary the dimming duty-cycle from 1 to 100%.
11. Check the shape of the rows’ current at a 1% dimming duty-cycle.
Note:
When measuring the current of row x, an auto-ranging A-meter can trigger the open-row or
shorted-LED fault detection during the automatic scale selection procedure. Disabling the
auto-ranging option on the A-meter is recommended.
13/22
Getting started
9.2
AN2809
Open and shorted WLED fault testing
1.
Set the input voltage to 12 V.
2.
Set the dimming duty-cycle to 20%.
3.
Disconnect the rows in sequence and compare the behavior of the LED7706 to
Table 4.
4.
Restore all row connections and force the EN input to ground.
5.
Release the EN input.
6.
Short one or more WLEDs and compare the behavior of the LED7706 to Table 4.
7.
Press the SW3 push button of the LED7706 board to reset the device.
8.
Turn off the power supply and set the SW2 selector to the upper position (MODE to
ground).
9.
Turn on the power supply and repeat steps 3 to 7.
10. Remove all shorted WLEDs and leave ROW1 and ROW2 floating.
11. Turn on the power supply: the floating rows are ignored.
12. Turn off the PWM generator.
13. Turn off the power supply.
9.3
Device synchronization
1.
Set the PWM dimming signal to 100%.
2.
Remove the jumper from the SW1 selector to leave the FSW pin floating.
3.
Connect an external 600 kHz clock generator (0 to 1 V logic levels, 40% duty-cycle)
between the FSW test point and ground. Refer to Figure 9.
4.
Turn on the PWM generator.
5.
Turn on the power supply: the device remains off until the FSW pin is low.
6.
Turn on the clock generator: the device turns on.
7.
Monitor the SYNC output and verify the synchronization (the SYNC output is a replica
of the FSW signal).
8.
Turn off the PWM generator.
9.
Turn off the clock generator.
10. Turn off the power supply.

Efficiency measurements
Figure 10 shows the set-up used to perform efficiency measurements. The efficiency in this
device is typically defined as the ratio between the power provided to the load (current
flowing through the LEDs multiplied by the voltage across the LEDs) and the total input
power. The power dissipated in the current generators is correctly considered as a power
loss. This method of calculating the efficiency implies that the voltage across the LEDs is the
same for all the strings. However, this is not true. The power delivered to the load should be
calculated as follows.
6
P LOAD =
∑ VSTRINGi ⋅
I STRINGi
i=1
where VSTRING_i is the voltage across the LEDs in row i, whereas ISTRING_i is the current
flowing through row i. In order to ease the measurement, the voltage drop of all the
generators is equalized by connecting them together.
15/22
Getting started
AN2809
In this condition, the power provided to the LEDs is simply calculated as:
P LOAD = V STRING ⋅ I STRING
where VSTRING is the voltage across the parallelized channels, whereas ISTRING is the total
current delivered to the load (the sum of the current of the six channels). Since all the
channels are in parallel (120 mA total current), a single string of 150 mA-rated LEDs is
required as load (Figure 10).

WLEDs test board
The WLEDs test board here described mounts sixty vertical white LEDs (size 0603, 20 mA)
arranged in a 6 x 10 matrix. Figure 13 shows an image of the board, whereas Figure 14
provides the schematic which can be used as reference to realize a customized board.
Several jumpers, switches and test points are provided to cover most of the test
configurations.

Table 5, Table 6 and Table 7 respectively describe the board’s jumper functions, switches
and test-points.
Table 5.
Test board jumper functions
Jumper
Function
Default position
J1
Two-position selector. Used in conjunction with SW1 to simulate
a fault on shorted LEDs on row1. When set to position 1, the D10
LED can be shorted by pressing SW1. When set to position 2,
both D9 and D10 LEDs can be shorted by pressing SW1.
1
J2
Two-position selector. Same function as J1 but related to row6
(D59 and D60 LEDs).
1
PCB tin-drop jumpers, bottom-sided. Used to parallelize the
desired number of rows.
J3 to J7
J8
8-terminal connector. Used to interface the LED7706
demonstration board.
J9
PCB tin-drop jumper, bottom-sided. Used to provide the output
voltage of the boost section of LED7706 to the low-current (D1D60), top-sided WLEDs array.
Shorted
J10 to J15
Two-pin jumpers, top-sided. Used to access the LED strings to
perform row current monitoring and voltage threshold
measurement.
Shorted
J16 to J39
PCB tin-drop jumper, bottom-sided. Used to reduce the number
of active LEDs of each row by shorting unused diodes.
