The AP3152 is a high efficiency charge-pump white LED driver
with 1x, 1.5x, 2x operating modes. The AP3152 operates on
power supplies from 2.7v to 5.5v. It drives up to four channels of
white LEDs while the intensity of each channel is configured by
varying the respective current levels. Each channel can supply up
to 30mA current. Up to four channels can be ganged together to
provide maximum load current of 120mA.
The Serial Digital Interface (SDI) provides the capability to
configure the current for each LED channel. Some of other key
features, such as Up Spread Spectrum Control, different
charge-pump switching frequencies (0.6MHz/1.2MHz/1.8MHz),
and PWM dimming control, can also be programmed through the
interface.
The AP3152 has built-in soft-start circuit to minimize the inrush
current during power-up and mode switching. Various protections
such as short-circuit, over-voltage, under-voltage, and thermal
shutdown are integrated to ensure system reliability. The
quiescent current of AP3152 during shutdown is less than 1µA.

120mA HIGH EFFICIENCY WHITE LED DRIVER
Function Description
General Functional Description
The AP3152 is designed for white LED applications. An internal
comparator circuit compares the voltage at each constant current
sink input against a reference voltage. To ensure maximum
power efficiency, the most appropriate switching mode (x1, x1.5,
x2) is automatically selected.
In applications, only four external components are required: two
1µF ceramic flying capacitors (C1 and C2), one 1µF ceramic
capacitor each for input and output (CIN, COUT).

AP3152 drives up to four white LEDs with a maximum current of
30mA each. A total of 120mA is provided to the four channels.
Through SDI, the current into each channel can be configured in
accordance to specific protocol and pre-defined values.
13
Low-Current Mode (Maximum Current set to 2mA)
14
Maximum Current set to 14mA (All channels)
15
Maximum Current set to 20mA (All channels)
Maximum output current can be set to one of the four possible
scales: 2mA, 14mA, 20mA, 30mA. Among these, the ‘2mA’
setting is called “low current mode”. This would be useful for
applications which require very low operating current, e.g.
transmissive LCD panels.

10% Up Spread Spectrum Control Enable/Disable
18
Switching Frequency set to 0.6Mhz
19
Switching Frequency set to 1.2Mhz
20
Switching Frequency set to 1.8Mhz
For each maximum output current scale, there are 16 current
level settings separated from one another by approximately
1dB. While level-16 corresponds to maximum current output,
level-1 corresponds to zero output current. As the current level
varies logarithmically, intensity of the LED changes in a linear
fashion.
The current level at the individual channels is configured via SDI
which supports data rate up to 10MHz. It allows the main
controller in the system to be offloaded to perform more
mission-critical functions.
Serial Digital Interface
SDI is a general purpose1-wire digital interface designed to
transport digital controls for power management ICs such as
AP3152. The current levels of the four channels can be
configured either together or individually. Up to 16 current
levels are allowed. A generic system controller can easily
support the SDI protocol via bit-banging over its general
purpose I/Os.
The SDI protocol is simple yet flexible enough to
accommodate different switching clock frequencies. Any
sequence of negative-edged pulses of 63 or less (see table 1),
separated by TSEP at the SDI pin is interpreted by AP3152 as
a channel configuration event. In future, the number of pulses
can be extended to support additional commands.
In addition to the SDI protocol, dimming control can also be
achieved by presenting a timing-specific PWM signaling at the
SDI pin.

Dimming Control Current Level Setting
AP3152 supports four maximum output current scales including
30mA, 20mA, 14mA, and 2mA low-current scale. For each
maximum current scale, there are 16 current level settings
separated from one another by appromimately 1dB (see table 2).
By default, maximum current scale is set to 20mA and dimming
control current level is set to maximum (level 16).
Through SDI, certain channels or all four channels can be
selected, and dimming control level for these channels can be set
to maximum (level 16), minimum(level1), up from minimum to
maximum or down from maximum to minimum (see table 1).

Disabled Current Sinks
Unused current channels must be disabled by connecting the
sinks to VOUT with only a small sense current flowing through the
disabled channel.
Soft-Start and Soft-Stop
Soft-start and Soft-stop function are incorporated to prevent
excessive inrush current during power-up, mode switching,
power-down, transition out of stand-by mode.
Short-Circuit Protection
Short-circuit protection function is incorporated to prevent
excessive load current when either flying cap terminals or output
pin electrically tied to a very lower voltage or ground.
Over-Voltage Protection
Over-voltage protection function is incorporated to limit the
output voltage under a safe value to avoid on-chip device
breakdown.
Under-Voltage Lockout
Under-voltage lockout feature disables the device when the
input voltage drops below UVLO threshold.
will be disabled and enter stand-by mode. The operation will be
resumed whenever the die cools off sufficiently.
Switching Frequency
By default, AP3152 is working at 1.2Mhz switching frequency. It
can also work at 0.6MHz or 1.8MHz switching frequency set
through SDI. User can choose the appropriate switching
frequency with consideration of noise immunity, input/output
voltage ripple requirement, and capacitor selection etc.
Up Spread Spectrum Control
When this feature is enabled through SDI, the switching
frequency periodically varies between 100% and 110% of
nominal frequency. It flattens the peak energy on nominal
frequency over a range of frequency band so that EMI effect is
significantly reduced.
PWM Dimming Control
The AP3152 provides flexible dimming control with either
16-level SDI protocol control or PWM dimming control through
SDI pin. When PWM dimming control is enabled, the sink
current is adjusted by the duty cycle of the signal applied on SDI
pin.
Thermal Shutdown
When the die temperature exceeds the thermal limit, the device
