DESCRIPTION
equal to 1.6V with sustained operation as
low as 1.1V.
The maximum LED drive current is
easily programmed using one external
current sense resistor in series with the
LEDs. In this configuration, LED current
provides a feedback signal to the FB pin,
maintaining constant current regardless of
varying LED forward voltage (VF).
Depending on the MOSFET selected, the
LX1744 is capable of achieving an LED
drive in excess of 1.0W.
The LX1744 provides simple dynamic
adjustment of the LED drive current (0% to
100% full range dimming) and the LCD
Bias output voltage (up to ±15% typ)
through separate IC interfaces.
Each
interface has an internal RC filter allowing
designers to make these adjustments via a
direct PWM input signal or an analog
reference signal.
Further, any PWM
amplitude is easily accommodated using a
single external resistor.
The LX1744 is available in the 14-Pin
TSSOP, and the miniature 16-Pin MLP
requiring minimal PCB area.

The LX1744 is a compact high
efficiency step-up boost regulator for
driving white or color LEDs in LCD
lighting applications while supplying the
necessary LCD bias voltage with an
additional integrated boost converter.
Designed for maximum efficiency and
featuring a psuedo-hysteretic PFM
topology (that decreases output voltage
ripple), the LX1744 minimizes system cost
and condenses layout area making it ideal
for PDA, smart-phone, and digital camera
applications.
While the LCD Bias generation is
implemented using an internal N-Channel
MOSFET, the LED driver utilizes an
external N-Channel MOSFET in order to
maintain maximum efficiency along with
flexible power requirements.
The LX1744’s control circuitry is
optimized for portable systems with a
shutdown current of less than 1µA. The
input voltage range of 1.6V to 6.0V allows
for a wide selection of system battery
voltages and start-up is guaranteed at a VIN

LCD BIAS – OUTPUT VOLTAGE PROGRAMMING
Selecting the appropriate values for LCD Bias output
voltage divider (Figure 3), connected to the feedback pin,
programs the output voltage.
Using a value between 40kΩ and 75kΩ for R2 works well
in most applications. R1 can be determined by the
following equation (where VREF = 1.19V nominal):
R1 = R 2
VOUT - VREF

eq. 1
LCD BIAS – OUTPUT VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT
The LX1744 allows for the dynamic adjustment of the
of the voltage output via an adjustment pin (ADJ). Any
voltage applied to the adjustment pin works in conjunction
with the internal reference logic. The LX1744 will
automatically utilize the internal reference when no signal
is detected or when the adjustment signal voltage is below
approximately 0.6V.
This adjustment pin includes an internal 50pF capacitor
to ground (Figure 4) that works with an external resistor to
create a low-pass filter. This allows a direct PWM (fPWM ≥
100KHz) signal input to be used for the voltage adjustment
signal. (Consequently a DC bias signal can also be used).

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The LX1744 is a dual output Pulse Frequency Modulated
(PFM) boost converter that is optimized for large step-up
voltage applications like LCD biasing and LED drive.
Operating in a pseudo-hysteretic mode with a fixed
switch “off time” of 300ns, converter switching is enabled
when the feedback voltage (VFB) falls below the bandgap
reference voltage or the ADJ pin voltage managed by the
reference logic block (see Block Diagram). When this
occurs, the feedback comparator activates the switching
logic, pulling the gate of the power MOSFET high. This in
turn connects the boost inductor to ground causing current
to flow building up the energy stored in the inductor. The
output remains “on”, until the inductor current ramps up to
the peak current level set either by the CS pin programming
resistor (RCS) in the case of the LED driver or by an internal
reference threshold for the LCD bias output. During this
switch cycle, the load is powered from energy stored in the
output capacitor. Once the peak inductor current value is
achieved, the driver output is turned off, for the fixed offtime period of 300ns, allowing a portion of the energy
stored in the inductor to be delivered to the load causing
output voltage to rise at the input to the feedback circuit. If
the voltage at the feedback pin is less than the internal
reference at the end of the off-time period, the output
switches the power MOSFET “on” and the inductor
charging cycle repeats until the feedback pin voltage is
greater than the internal reference. Typical converter
switching behavior is shown in Figure 12.

LED DRIVER – OUTPUT CURRENT PROGRAMMING
Maximum LED current is easily programmed by
choosing the appropriate value for RLED (Figure 6). It is
recommended that a minimum value of 15Ω be used for
this resistor in order to prevent noise coupling issues on the
feedback line. Although, alternate values can be calculated
using the following equation:

300mV (VBRT) be used in order to minimize dissipative
losses in the LED current sense resistor (RLED).
Like the LCD bias adjustment (ADJ) pin, the BRT pin is
connected to an internal 50pF capacitor to ground that
works with an external resistor to create a low-pass filter,
allowing the BRT pin to driven directly by a PWM signal
whose frequency is greater than 100kHz. When this pin is
driven by a PWM signal whose frequency is less than
100kHz, an external filter capacitor is needed. This
capacitor is selected such that the ripple component of the
resultant voltage on the BRT pin is less than 10% of the
nominal input voltage.
For PWM frequencies greater than 100kHz, the external
BRT input resistor is calculated using the following
equation.

DIODE SELECTION
A Schottky diode is recommended for most applications
(e.g. Microsemi UPS5817). The low forward voltage drop
and fast recovery time associated with this device supports
the switching demands associated with this circuit
topology. The designer is encouraged to consider the
diode’s average and peak current ratings with respect to the
application’s output and peak inductor current
requirements. Further, the diode’s reverse breakdown

APPLICATIONS
LED DRIVER – LED BRIGHTNESS ADJUSTMENT
The LX1744 features a full range dimming LED driver.
LED current regulation is accomplished by using the
applied BRT pin voltage as the LED current reference.
This reference voltage, in conjunction with the LED current
setting resistor (RLED), sets the LED output current.
Dimming can be accomplished in one of two ways: by
applying a variable DC voltage, or by varying the duty
cycle (DC) of a PWM control signal, directly to the BRT
pin.
It is recommended that a maximum signal voltage of

OVER VOLTAGE PROTECTION PROGRAMMING
Since the output of the LED Driver is a current mode
configuration, it may be desirable to protect the output from
an over-voltage condition in the event the load is removed
or not present.
The LX1744 includes an over voltage monitor that is
easily programmed with two external resistors (Figure 6).
This feature eliminates the need for a Zener Diode clamp on
the output.
Programming is accomplished by first selecting ROVP_2
and then calculating ROVP_1 using the following equation.

This graph characterizes the relationship between peak

INDUCTOR SELECTION
An inductor value of 47µH has been show to yield very
good results. Choosing a lower value emphasizes peak
current overshoot, effectively raises the switching
frequency, and increases the dissipative losses due to
increased currents.
OUTPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION
Output voltage ripple is a function of the several
parameters: inductor value, output capacitance value, peak
switch current, load current, input voltage, and the output
voltage. All of these factors can be summarized by the

APPLICATIONS
INDUCTOR CURRENT LIMIT PROGRAMMING
Setting of the peak inductor current limit is an important
aspect of the PFM constant off-time architecture; it
determines the maximum output power capability and has a
marked effect on efficiency.
It is recommended that the peak inductor current be set
to approximately two times the expected maximum DC
input current. This setting will minimize the inductor size,
the input ripple current, and the output ripple voltage. Care
should be taken to use inductors that will not saturate at the
peak inductor current level. The desired peak inductor
current can be estimated by the following equation:
IPK − 0.185
30 ⋅ 10 −6
which is taken from the following graph (Figure 7).
eq. 9
where VOVP is the desired maximum voltage on the output.
This voltage should be selected to accommodate the
maximum forward voltage of all the LEDs, over
temperature, plus the maximum feedback voltage.
Conversely, it may also be selected according to the
maximum VDS voltage of the output MOSFET.
IPK = 2 ⋅

POWER MOSFET SELECTION
The LX1744 can source up to 100mA of gate current.
A logi-level N-channel MOSFET with a low turn on
threshold voltage, low gate charge and low RDS(ON) is
required to optimize overall circuit performance.

achieved by placing a feed-forward capacitor across the
feedback resistor connected to the LCD Bias output
(Figure 2). A recommended value of 1nF should be used.
PCB LAYOUT
Minimizing trace lengths from the IC to the inductor,
diode, input and output capacitors, and feedback
connection (i.e. pin 3) are typical considerations.
Moreover, the designer should maximize the DC input and
output trace widths to accommodate peak current levels
associated with this circuit.

NEGATIVE LCD BIAS GENERATION
For applications that require it, a negative bias can be
easily generated using an inductorless charge pump
consisting of only four additional discrete components
(Figure 8).

R2
Figure 8 – Negative Bias Generation
This negative output is a mirror of the positive output
voltage. However, it is unregulated.
If a regulated negative bias is desired then this is also
possible with some additional components. A low current
shunt regulator (LX6431 or LX432) and a bipolor pass
element can form a simple negative voltage LDO (Figure
9).

R3 is sized to meet the minimum shunt current required for
regulation while R4 and R5 are calculated. If R5 is selected
to be 100kΩ then R4 is calculated using the following
equation:
