RT9300A/B

RT9300A/B
Tiny Package, Low Dropout Current Source
General Description
Features
The RT9300A/B low-dropout bias supply for white LEDs
is a high-performance alternative to the simple ballast
resistors used in conventional white LED designs. The
RT9300A/B uses an internal resistor to set the bias
current for four LEDs, which are matched to 5%. The
RT9300A/B's advantages over ballast resistors include
much lower bias variation with supply voltage variation,
significantly lower dropout voltage, and in some applications,
significantly improved efficiency. The RT9300A/B requires
only a 60/45mV dropout voltage at a 20/15mA load on
each output to match the LED brightness.

Applications Information
Enable Input
EN powers the input of the RT9300A/B. This IC provides
an under voltage lockout (UVLO) function to prevent it from
unstable issue when startup. The UVLO threshold of input
falling voltage is set at 2.1V typically with a hysteresis
0.1V.Drive EN high to enable the device; drive EN low to
disable the device. When driven high, EN draws 350uA to
power the IC. Driving EN low forces LED1, LED2, LED3,
and LED4 into a high-impedance state.
LED Current
RT9300A/B provides a constant current for white LED.
Figure 1 shows a typical application circuit for 4 white
LEDs. Each channel supports up to 20mA/15mA current
and regulates a constant current for uniform intensity. For
keypad LED application, the all channels must be
connected to LED as shown in Figure 2. In order to maintain
LED constant current, the input voltage must provide the
required LED forward voltage and current source dropout
voltage. If the forward voltage of white LEDs is 3.3V, the
input voltage should be higher than 3.4V to provide enough
voltage headroom for maintaining constant brightness.
LED Brightness Dimming Control
For controlling the LED brightness, the RT9300A/B can
perform the dimming control by applying a PWM signal to
EN pin. When an external PWM signal is connected to
the EN pin, brightness of white LED is adjusted by the
duty cycle. The average LED current is proportional to the
PWM signal duty cycle. The magnitude of the PWM signal
must be higher than the minimum level of enable input
high level, in order to let the dimming control perform
correctly, the suggested PWM frequency range is 10kHz
to 200Hz.
Thermal Considerations
For continuous operation, do not exceed absolute
maximum operation junction temperature 125°C. The
maximum power dissipation depends on the thermal
resistance of IC package, PCB layout, the rate of
DS9300A/B-05 April 2011
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 125°C, TA is the ambient temperature and
the θJA is the junction to ambient thermal resistance.
For recommended operating conditions specification of
RT9300, where T J(MAX) is the maximum junction
temperature of the die (125°C) and TA is the maximum
ambient temperature. The junction to ambient thermal
resistance θ JA is layout dependent. For SOT-23-6
packages, the thermal resistance θJA is 250°C/W on the
standard JEDEC 51-3 single-layer thermal test board. The
maximum power dissipation at TA = 25°C can be calculated
by following formula :
PD(MAX) = (125°C − 25°C) / (250°C/W) = 0.4W for
SOT-23-6 packages
The maximum power dissipation depends on operating
ambient temperature for fixed TJ(MAX) and thermal resistance
θJA. For RT9300 packages, the Figure 1 of derating curves
allows the designer to see the effect of rising ambient
temperature on the maximum power allowed.

Layout Considerations
For best performance, careful PCB layout is necessary.
All peripheral components should be placed as close to
the IC as possible. A short connection is highly
recommended. The following guidelines should be strictly
followed when designing a PCB layout for the RT9300A/
B.
` All the traces of LED and VIN running from chip to LEDs
should be wide and short to reduce the parasitic
connection resistance.
` The capacitor should be placed close to the anodes of
LEDs and connected to ground plane.
` The GND should be connected to a strong ground plane
for heat sinking and noise protection.
All the traces of LED and VIN running from
chip to LEDs should be wide and short to
reduce the parasitic connection resistance.
