CAT4004 4-Channel Constant Current LED Driver with EZDim™ FEATURES DESCRIPTION Four LED current sinks with tight matching Low Dropout Driver 130mV at 30mA No switching noise Shutdown current < 1μA LED current set by external resistor Dimming via 1-wire EZDimTM interface Thermal shutdown protection RoHS Compliant 8-lead 2mm x 3mm TDFN package The EN/DIM logic inputs supports device enable and a digital dimming interface for current setting of all LEDs. Six different current dimming ratios are available. The device is aimed at “direct drive” battery applications. It is required that the battery or voltage source have enough headroom to drive the LED forward voltage and current sink (>150mV). APPLICATIONS The CAT4004 provides four matched low dropout current sources to drive LEDs. An external resistor on RSET sets the current in the LED channels. Each LED channel includes an individual control loop allowing the device to handle a wide range of LED forward voltages while still maintaining tight current matching. LCD Display Backlight Cellular Phones Digital Still Cameras Handheld Devices The device is available in a tiny 8-lead TDFN 2mm x 3mm package with a max height of 0.8mm.

LED CURRENT SELECTION At power-up, the initial LED current is set to full scale (100% brightness) by the external resistor RSET as follows: 0 .6 V LED current = 132 × R SET levels by pulsing the input signal, as shown on Figure 3. On each consecutive pulse rising edge, the LED current is divided by half to 50%, then 25%, 12.5%, 6.25% and 3.125% dimming levels. Pulses faster than the minimum TLO may be ignored and filtered by the device. Pulses longer than the maximum TLO may shutdown the device. The EN/DIM pin has two primary functions. One function enables and disables the device. The other function is LED current dimming with six different © 2008 SCILLC. All rights reserved.

A small 1μF ceramic bypass capacitor is required between the VIN pin and ground near the device. The operating input voltage range is from 2.5V to 5.5V. Whenever the input supply falls below the under-voltage threshold (1.8V), all the LED channels are disabled and the device enters shutdown mode. impedance zero current state whenver the device is placed in shutdown mode. RSET is connected to the resistor (RSET) to set the full scale current for the LEDs. The voltage at this pin is regulated to 0.6V. The ground side of the external resistor should be star connected back to the GND of the PCB. In shutdown mode, RSET beomes high impedance. EN/DIM is the enable and one wire dimming input for all LED channels. Levels of logic high and logic low are set at 1.3V and 0.4V respectively. When EN/DIM is initially taken high, the device becomes enabled and all LED currents are set to the full scale according to the resistor RSET. To place the device into “zero current” shutdown mode, the EN/DIM pin must be held low for at least 1.5ms. GND is the ground reference for the device. The pin must be connected to the ground plane on the PCB. TAB is the exposed pad underneath the package. For best thermal performance, the tab should be soldered to the PCB and connected to the ground plane. LED1 to LED4 provide the internal regulated current for each of the LED cathodes.

CAT4004 Functional Block Diagram BASIC OPERATION The CAT4004 uses four tightly matched current sinks to accurately regulate LED current in each channel proportional to the current sourced from the RSET pin. ILED = GAIN × Each LED channel needs a minimum of 150mV headroom to sink constant regulated current. If the input supply falls below 1.8V, the under-voltage lockout circuit disables all LED channels and resets the circuit to default values. Any unused LED channels should be left open. 0.6 V R SET There are six different gain settings for LED brightness that can be set through the EN/DIM pin. The default gain on power-up is 132. Tight current regulation for all channels is possible over a wide range of input and LED voltages due to independent current sensing circuitry on each channel. Doc. No. MD-5024 Rev.
