SC662 Backlight Driver for 6 LEDs with SemPulse® Interface POWER MANAGEMENT Features Description Input supply voltage range — 2.9V to 5.5V Very high efficiency charge pump driver system with three modes — 1x, 1.5x and 2x Six programmable current sinks — 0mA to 25mA Up to three LED grouping options Fade-in/fade-out feature for main LED bank Selectable charge pump frequency — 250kHz/1MHz SemPulse® single wire interface Backlight current accuracy — ±1.5% typical Backlight current matching — ±0.5% typical LED float detection Automatic sleep mode with all LEDs off Sleep mode quiescent current — 60µA typical Shutdown current — 0.1µA typical Ultra-thin package — 2 x 2 x 0.6 (mm) Lead-free and halogen-free WEEE and RoHS compliant Applications The SC662 is a high efficiency charge pump LED driver using Semtech’s proprietary charge pump technology. Performance is optimized for use in single-cell Li-ion battery applications. The charge pump provides backlight current utilizing six matched current sinks. The load and supply conditions determine whether the charge pump operates in 1x, 1.5x, or 2x mode. An optional fading feature that gradually adjusts the backlight current is provided to simplify control software. ® The SC662 uses the proprietary SemPulse single wire interface to control all functions of the device, including backlight currents. The single wire interface minimizes microcontroller and interface pin counts. The six LEDs can be grouped in up to three separate banks that can be independently controlled. The charge pump switches at 1MHz or 250kHz, and the frequency is selectable using the SemPulse interface. Both 1MHz and 250kHz frequencies are supported by 0402 size (1005 metric) ceramic capacitors. Cellular phones, smart phones, and PDAs LCD modules Portable media players Digital cameras Personal navigation devices Display/keypad backlighting and LED indicators The SC662 enters sleep mode when all the LED drivers are disabled. In this mode, the quiescent current is reduced while the device continues to monitor the SemPulse interface.

Six matched current sinks that control LED backlighting current, providing 0mA to 25mA per LED. Up to three independently controlled LED banks. Selectable charge pump frequency — 250kHz or 1MHz options. High Current Fractional Charge Pump The backlight outputs are supported by a high efficiency, high current fractional charge pump output. The charge pump multiplies the input voltage by 1x, 1.5x, or 2x. The output of the charge pump is delivered to the LED anodes. The charge pump switches only in 1.5x and 2x modes and is disabled in 1x mode to save power and improve efficiency. The charge pump switches at a fixed frequency of either 250kHz or 1MHz. The charge pump switching frequency is set via the SemPulse interface by the FSEL bit. The 250kHz setting is selected by setting FSEL = 0, while the 1MHz setting is selected when FSEL = 1. The mode selection circuit automatically selects one of the following modes; 1x, 1.5x, or 2x based on circuit conditions such as LED voltage, input voltage, and load current. The 1x mode is the most efficient of the three modes, followed by 1.5x and 2x modes. Circuit conditions such as low input voltage, high output current, or high LED voltage place a higher demand on the charge pump output. A higher numerical mode (1.5x or 2x) may be needed momentarily to maintain regulation at the OUT pin during intervals of high demand. The charge pump responds to momentary high demands, setting the charge pump to the optimum mode to deliver the output voltage and load current while optimizing efficiency. Hysteresis is provided to prevent mode toggling. The charge pump requires two bucket capacitors. One capacitor must be connected between the C1+ and C1pins and the other must be connected between the C2+ and C2- pins as shown in the Typical Application Circuit diagram. Bucket capacitors should be equal in value to support current sharing between C1 and C2. COUT , CIN , C1 , and C2 capacitors with X7R or X5R ceramic dielectric are strongly recommended for their low ESR and superior temperature and voltage characteristics. Y5V capacitors should not be used as their temperature coefficients make them unsuitable for this application. LED Backlight Current Sinks The backlight current is set via the SemPulse interface. The current is regulated to one of 32 values between 0mA and 25mA. The step size varies depending upon the current setting. The lowest settings are 0, 50, 100, and 200µA. From 0.5mA to 5mA, the step size is 0.5mA. The step size increases to 1mA for settings between 5mA and 21mA. Steps are 2mA between 21mA and 25mA. The variation in step size allows finer adjustment for dimming functions in the low current setting range and coarse adjustment at higher current settings where small current changes are not visibly noticeable in LED brightness. A zero setting is also included to allow the current sink to be disabled by writing to either the enable bit or the current setting register for maximum flexibility. All backlight current sinks have matched currents. When there is a variation in the forward voltages (∆VF ) of the LEDs, mis-matched LED voltages do not degrade the accuracy of the backlight currents. The voltages of all BLn pins are compared, and the lowest of these voltages is used as feedback for setting the voltage regulation at the OUT pin. This is done to ensure that sufficient bias exists for all LEDs. The backlight LEDs default to the off state upon power-up. For backlight applications using less than six LEDs, any unused output must be left open and the unused LED must remain disabled. When writing to the backlight enable register, a zero (0) must be written to the corresponding bit of any unused output. Detailed information about programming of the registers is provided in later sections, beginning at SemPulse Interface on page 21. 12 SC662 Applications Information (continued) Charge Pump Efficiency Efficiency of the charge pump is defined as K VOUT u IOUT VIN u IIN The input current is equal to the output current multiplied by the charge pump mode plus the quiescent current IIN = IOUT x Mode + IQ, and the output current is equal to the sum of all backlight currents. LED Banks The LEDs can be grouped in up to three independently controlled LED banks. Using the SemPulse interface, the six LED drivers can be grouped as described in the Backlight Grouping Configuration subsection. The banks can be used to provide up to three different current options. This can be useful for controlling keypad, display, and auxiliary backlight operation from one SC662 device. VOUT, IOUT, VIN, IIN, IQ, and IBLn are terms from the electrical characteristics section. “Mode” is the active boost ratio of the charge pump, equal to 1, 1.5, or 2. Efficiency plots in the Typical Characteristics section provide charge pump efficiency data labeled with “Charge Pump”. The LED banks provide versatility by allowing backlights to be controlled independently. For example, applications that have a main and sub display may also need to supply an indicator LED. The three bank option allows the SC662 to control each function with different current settings. Another application involves backlighting two displays and a keypad, each requiring different brightness settings. A third scenario requires supplying different brightness levels to different types of LEDs (such as RGB) to create display effects. In all applications, the brightness level for each LED can be set independently. Efficiency of the power conversion to the LEDs is defined as Backlight Fade-in / Fade-out Function 6 ¦I IOUT n 1 6 K ¦ n 1 BLn u Mode ( VFn u IBLn ) VIN u IIN VF1 through VF6 are the forward voltages of the LEDs. IBL1 through IBL6 are the regulated backlight sink currents flowing in the LEDs. Efficiency plots in the Typical Characteristics section provide LED backlight efficiency data labeled with “Backlight”. Backlight Quiescent Current The quiescent current required to operate all backlights is reduced when each backlight current is set to 5.0mA or less. This low-current mode feature results in improved efficiency under light-load conditions, saving approximately 350µA of bias current. Low-current mode disables and bypasses the internal LDO when the charge pump is in 1x mode, connecting the LED anodes to the supply at VIN. Further reduction in quiescent current will result from using fewer than the maximum number of LEDs. The SC662 contains register bits that control the fade state of the main bank. When enabled, the fade function causes the main backlights to change brightness by stepping the current incrementally until the target backlight current is reached. Fade begins immediately after the target backlight current is stored in its register. Fade may be enabled for the main bank only. Sub and third banks do not fade. In addition to the 32 programmable backlight current values, there are also 75 non-programmable current steps. The non-programmable steps are active only during a fade operation to provide for a very smooth change in backlight brightness. Backlight current steps proceed at a programmable fade rate of 2, 4, or 6ms. The exact length of time used to fade between any two backlight values is determined by multiplying the fade rate by the number of steps between the old and new backlight values. The fade time can be calculated from the data provided in Table 1 on page 15. Figures 2 through 6 on page 16 provide additional information about the fade process. Each figure represents one linear segment of the overall fade range shown in 13 SC662 Applications Information (continued) Figure 7. The overall fade range is a piece-wise linear, logrithmic type of function which provides for a very smooth visual fading effect. The fade rate may be changed dynamically when a fade operation is active by writing new values to the fade register. When a new backlight level is written during an ongoing fade operation, the fade will be redirected to the new value from the present state. An ongoing fade operation may be cancelled by disabling fade, which will result in the backlight current changing immediately to the final value. If fade is disabled, the current level will change immediately without the fade delay. The terms BLEN and FADE are used for bits which are defined in a later section of the datasheet. The reader may choose to skip ahead to the Register Map and Register and Bit Definitions sections for a better understanding of these terms before continuing with this section’s explanation of the fade function and fade state diagram. Fade State Diagram If the main BLEN bits are disabled during an ongoing fade, the main bank will turn off immediately. When the main BLEN bits are re-enabled and FADE = 1, the main backlight currents will begin at 0mA and fade to the target value. If the main BLEN bits are re-enabled and FADE = 0, the main backlights will proceed immediately to the target value. The state diagram in Figure 1 describes the fade operation.

This is a reduced current mode that helps minimize overall current consumption by disabling the clock and the charge pump while continuing to monitor the serial interface for commands. An additional current savings can be obtained by putting the serial interface in standby mode (see SemPulse Interface, Standby Mode). Protection Features The SC662 provides several protection features to safeguard the device from catastrophic failures. These features include: • • • • Output Open Circuit Protection Over-Temperature Protection Charge Pump Output Current Limit LED Float Detection Output Open Circuit Protection Over-Voltage Protection (OVP) at the OUT pin prevents the charge pump from producing an excessively high output voltage. In the event of an open circuit between the OUT pin and all current sinks (no loads connected), the charge pump runs in open loop and the voltage rises up to the OVP limit. OVP operation is hysteretic, meaning the charge pump will momentarily turn off until VOUT is sufficiently reduced. The maximum OVP threshold is 6.0V, allowing the use of a ceramic output capacitor rated at 6.3V. Over-Temperature Protection The OT (Over-Temperature) protection circuit prevents the device from overheating and experiencing a catastrophic failure. When the junction temperature exceeds 165°C, the device goes into thermal shutdown with all outputs disabled until the junction temperature is reduced. All register information is retained during thermal shutdown. Hysteresis of 20°C is provided to ensure that the device cools sufficiently before re-enabling. Charge Pump Output Current Limit The device limits the charge pump current at the OUT pin. If the OUT pin is shorted to ground, or VOUT is lower than VUVLO, the typical output current limit is 60mA. The output current is limited to 300mA when over loaded resistively with VOUT greater than 2.4V. LED Float Detection Float detect is a fault detection feature of the LED backlight outputs. If an output is programmed to be enabled and an open circuit fault occurs at any backlight output, that output will be disabled to prevent a sustained output OVP condition from occurring due to the resulting open loop. Float detect ensures device protection but does not ensure optimum performance. Unused LED outputs must be disabled to prevent an open circuit fault from occurring. Capacitor Selection The SC662 is designed to use low-ESR ceramic capacitors for the input and output decoupling capacitors as well as the charge pump bucket capacitors. The required value of input and output capacitors can vary with supply and layout conditions, but typically 1µF 0402 (1005 metric) size X5R capacitors are sufficient for both CIN and COUT when 250kHz is selected for the charge pump clock. Typically 0.47µF 0402 size X5R capacitors are sufficient for CIN and COUT when the charge pump clock is1MHz.

Layout performance may place limits on the SC662 performance. The SC662 is capable of 150mA of total output current in an ambient temperature of up to 85°C. Both of these parameters, maximum output current (IOUT(MAX) ), and maximum ambient temperature (TA), may be reduced if the layout does not provide for adequate heat dissipation. Layout guidelines are recommended in the next section, PCB Layout Considerations. 18 SC662 Applications Information (continued) PCB Layout Considerations Following fundamental layout rules is critical for achieving the performance specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. A recommended layout is illustrated in Figures 8, 9, and 10. Figure 8 shows a composite view of the two copper layers plus components, vias, and text descriptors. Figure 9 shows the copper layer on the component side of the board, and Figure 10 is the copper layer for ground and routing. The following guidelines are recommended when developing a PCB layout: • • • • • • • • Place all capacitors (C1, C2, CIN, and COUT) as close to the device as possible, and on the same side of the board as the SC662. CIN, COUT should have their grounds connected at one point as shown in Figure 8, with multiple vias to ground. C1 and C2 should be placed so that they do not require vias to connect to the SC662. All charge pump current passes through pins IN, OUT, C1-, C1+, C2+, and C2-. Ensure that all connections to these pins use wide traces. Layout should minimize the resistance and inductance of these traces. Make all ground connections to a ground plane as shown in the example layout. There should be a short unobstructed path between all ground vias on the ground plane. The power trace connecting the battery to the IN pin should be sized for 300mA of battery current. The power trace should be on a layer adjacent to the ground return. If possible, make the power trace equal in width to the ground return trace. The output trace connecting the OUT pin to the anode terminals of the LEDs should be sized for 150mA of DC current. Up to six LED traces connect between the LED cathodes and the BLn pins. Each LED trace width should be sized for 25mA of DC current. The LED traces route in parallel on one layer and serve as • • • • the return current path from the LEDs to the BLn pins. Figure 8 is representative of a two layer design. As shown in this figure, the OUT trace can be placed next to the six LED traces on the same layer. However, if more than two layers are available, the preferred method is to have the OUT trace route underneath the LED traces on a different layer. Double vias are preferred for grounding pin 3 of the SC662, and also for grounding the ground leads of CIN and COUT. The SPIF trace should be routed away from sources of noise to preserve the signal integrity for the SemPulse interface. Multiple vias are recommended for the thermal pad at the center of the device.

It provides the capability to access up to 32 registers that control device functionality. Two sets of pulse trains are transmitted via the SPIF pin. The first pulse set is used to set the desired address. After the bus is held high for the address hold period, the next pulse set is used to write the data value. After the data pulses are transmitted, the bus is held high again for the data hold period to signify the data write is complete. At this point the device latches the data into the address that was selected by the first set of pulses. See the SemPulse Timing Diagrams for descriptions of all timing parameters. register bits per register. Just like with the address write, the data write is only accepted if the bus is held high for tHOLDD when the pulse train is completed. If the proper hold time is not received, the interface will keep counting pulses until the hold time is detected. If the total exceeds 63 pulses, the write will be ignored and the bus will reset after the next valid hold time is detected. After the bus has been held high for tHOLDD, the bus will expect the next pulse set to be an address write. Note that this is the same effect as the bus reset that occurs when tHOLDA exceeds its maximum specification. For this reason, there is no maximum limit on tHOLDD — the bus simply waits for the next valid address to be transmitted. Chip Enable/Disable Multiple Writes The device is enabled when the SemPulse interface pin (SPIF) is pulled high for greater than tSU. If the SPIF pin is pulled low again for more than tSD, the device will be disabled. Address Writes The first set of pulses can range between 0 and 31 (or 1 to 32 rising edges) to set the desired address. After the pulses are transmitted, the SPIF pin must be held high for tHOLDA to signal to the slave device that the address write is finished. If the pulse count is between 0 and 31 and the line is held high for tHOLDA, the address is latched as the destination for the next data write. If the SPIF pin is not held high for tHOLDA, the slave device will continue to count pulses. Note that if tHOLDA exceeds its maximum specification, the bus will reset. This means that the communication is ignored and the bus resumes monitoring the pin, expecting the next pulse set to be an address. If the total exceeds 31 pulses, SPIF must be held high until the bus reset time t BR is exceeded before commencing communication. Data Writes After the bus has been held high for the minimum address hold period, the next set of pulses are used to write the data value. The total number of pulses can range from 0 to 63 (or 1 to 64 rising edges) since there are a total of 6 It is important to note that this single-wire interface requires the address to be paired with its corresponding data. If it is desired to write multiple times to the same address, the address must always be re-transmitted prior to the corresponding data. If it is only transmitted one time and followed by multiple data transmissions, every other block of data will be treated like a new address. The result will be invalid data writes to incorrect addresses. Note that multiple writes only need to be separated by the minimum tHOLDD for the slave to interpret them correctly. As long as tHOLDA between the address pulse set and the data pulse set is less than its maximum specification but greater than its minimum, multiple pairs of address and data pulse counts can be made with no detrimental effects. Standby Mode Once data transfer is completed, the SPIF line must be returned to the high state for at least 10ms to return to the standby mode. In this mode, the SPIF line remains idle while monitoring for the next command. This mode allows the device to minimize current consumption between commands. Once the device has returned to standby mode, the bus is automatically reset to expect the address pulses as the next data block. This safeguard is intended to reset the bus to a known state (waiting for the beginning of a write sequence) if the delay exceeds the reset threshold. 21 SC662 SemPulseTM Interface (continued) SemPulse Timing Diagrams The SemPulse single wire interface is used to enable or disable the device and configure all registers (see Figure 11). The timing parameters refer to the digital I/O electrical specifications. Address is set Up to 32 rising edges (0 to 31 pulses) Up to 64 rising edges (0 to 63 pulses) Data is written SPIF t = tSU t = tHOLDA t = tHOLDD tHI tLO Figure 11 — Uniform Timing Diagram for SemPulse Communication Timing Example 1 In this example (see Figure 12), the slave chip receives two sets of pulses to set the address and data, and the pulses experience interrupts that cause the pulse width to be nonuniform. Note that as long as the maximum high and low times are satisfied and the hold times are within specification, the data transfer is completed regardless of the number of interrupts that delay the transmission. Address is set to register 02h Data written is 000011 SPIF t = tSU tHI tLO t = tHOLDA t < tHImax t = tHOLDD t < tLOmax Figure 12 — SemPulse Data Write with Non-Uniform Pulse Widths Timing Example 2 In this example (see Figure 13), the slave chip receives two sets of pulses to set the address and data, but an interrupt occurs during a pulse that causes it to exceed the minimum address hold time. The write is meant to be the value 03h in register 05h, but instead it is interpreted as the value 02h written to register 02h. The extended pulse that is delayed by the interrupt triggers a false address detection, causing the next pulse set to be interpreted as the data set. To avoid any problems with timing, make sure that all pulse widths comply with their timing requirements as outlined in this datasheet. Address is set to register 02h SPIF Data written is 000010 Address is set to register 03h (address and data are now out of order) Interrupt duration t > tHImax t = tHOLDA t = tHOLDD Figure 13 — Faulty SemPulse Data Write Due to Extended Interrupt Duration 22 SC662 Register Map(1) Address D5 D4 D3 D2 D1 D0 Reset Value Description 00h BLEN6 BLEN5 BLEN4 BLEN3 BLEN2 BLEN1 00h Backlight Enable 01h 0(2) MBL4 MBL3 MBL2 MBL1 MBL0 00h Main Backlight Current 02h 0(2) SBL4 SBL3 SBL2 SBL1 SBL0 00h Sub Backlight Current 03h 0(2) TBL4 TBL3 TBL2 TBL1 TBL0 00h Third Backlight Current 04h 0(2) 0(2) 0(2) 0(2) MFADE1 MFADE0 00h Main Fade 05h 0(2) 0(2) FSEL MB2 MB1 MB0 00h Frequency and Banking Configurations Notes: (1) All registers are write-only.

This group can also be used to control blue LEDs for limited RGB control. These current sinks need to be enabled in the Backlight Enable Control register to be active. Bit D5 This bit is unused and is always a zero, so the maximum pulse count for this register is 31. TBL4 — TBL0 [D4:D0] These bits are used to set the current for the third backlight current sinks. All enabled third backlight current sinks will sink the same current, as shown in Table 4.

This register assigns the LEDs to the backlight bank configurations. Bits [D5:D2] These bits are unused and are always zeros, so the maximum pulse count for this register is 3. Bits [D5:D4] These bits are unused and are always zeros, so the maximum pulse count for this register is 16. MFADE1, MFADE0[D1:D0] These bits are used to enable fade and set the fade rate between two backlight currents as shown in Table 5. FSEL [D3] This bit sets the charge pump clock frequency. FSEL = 0 for 250kHz, and FSEL = 1 for 1MHz. The default state for this bit is zero. Table 5 — Main Display Fade Control Bits MFADE1 MFADE0 Fade Feature Rise/Fall Rate (ms/step) 0 0 OFF 0 1 2 1 0 4 1 1 6 When the fade rate is set to 2, 4, or 6ms and then a new backlight current is set, the backlight current will change from its current value to the new value in steps, pausing at each step for the duration of the fade rate before proceeding to the next step. The exact length of time used to fade between any two backlight values is determined by multiplying the fade rate by the number of steps between the old and new backlight values. The fade time can be calculated from the data provided in Table 1 on page 15. MB2 and MB0 [D2:D0] These bits are used to set the number of LED drivers dedicated to each backlight group. This allows the device to drive up to three different sets of LEDs with different current settings. Note that any driver assigned to any LED group can still be disabled independently if not needed. The code set by these bits determines how the LED drivers are assigned among the three LED groups according to the assignments listed in Table 6. Default state for each of these three bits is zero (all LEDs assigned to main display).
