The part integrates current sources and automatic mode selection charge pump. It maintains the high efficiency by utilizing an x1/x1.5/x2 fractional charge pump and current sources. The small equivalent x1 mode open loop resistance and ultra-low dropout voltage of current source extend the operating time of x1 mode and optimize the efficiency in white LED applications. Input UVLO The input operating voltage range of the LED driver is from 2.8V to 4.5V. An input capacitor at the VIN pin could reduce ripple voltage. It is recommended to use a ceramic 1μF or larger capacitance as the input capacitor. The RT9385 provides an under voltage lockout (UVLO) function to prevent it from unstable issue when startup. The UVLO threshold of input rising voltage is set at 2V typically with a hysteresis of 100mV. Capacitors Selection To get the better performance of the RT9385, the selection of peripherally appropriate capacitor and value is very important. These capacitors determine some parameters such as input/output ripple voltage, power efficiency and maximum supply current by charge pump. To reduce the input and output ripple effectively, the low ESR ceramic capacitors are recommended. For LED driver applications, the input voltage ripple is more important than output ripple. Input ripple is controlled by input capacitor CIN, increasing the value of input capacitance can further reduce the ripple. Practically, the input voltage ripple depends on the power supply impedance. The flying capacitor CFLY1 and CFLY2 determine the supply current capability of the charge pump to influence the overall efficiency of the system. The lower value will improve efficiency. However, it will limit the LED's current at low input voltage. For 5x25mA load over the entire input range of 2.8V to 4.5V, it is recommended to use a 1μF ceramic capacitor on the flying capacitor CFLY1 and CFLY2. Soft Start Brightness Control The charge pump employs a soft start feature to limit the inrush current. The soft-start circuit prevents the excessive inrush current and input voltage drop. The soft-start clamps the input current in a typical period of 50μs. The RT9385 implements a PWM dimming method to control the brightness of white LEDs. When an external PWM signal is connected to the EN pin, brightness of white LED is adjusted by the duty cycle. The suggested PWM dimming frequency range is from 1kHz to 200kHz. Mode Decision The RT9385 uses a smart mode selection method to decide the working mode for optimizing the efficiency. Mode decision circuit senses the output and LED voltage for up/down selection. The RT9385 automatically switches to x1.5 or x2 mode whenever the dropout condition is detected from the current source and returns to x1 mode whenever the dropout condition releases. LED connection The RT9385 supports up to 5 white LEDs. The 5 LEDs are connected from VIN to pin1, 2, 3, 15 and 16 respectively. If the LED is not used, the LED pin should be connected to VIN directly. Thermal Considerations For continuous operation, do not exceed absolute maximum operation junction temperature. The maximum power dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of IC package, PCB layout, the rate of surroundings airflow and temperature difference between junction to ambient. The maximum power dissipation can be calculated by following formula : PD(MAX) = ( TJ(MAX) − TA ) / θJA Where T J(MAX) is the maximum operation junction temperature, TA is the ambient temperature and the θJA is the junction to ambient thermal resistance.

For RT9385 package, the Figure 1 of derating curve allows the designer to see the effect of rising ambient temperature on the maximum power dissipation allowed.
