NJU6048 PRELIMINARY High Efficiency White LED Driver ! PACKAGE OUTLINE ! GENERAL DESCRIPTION The NJU6048 is a high-efficiency white LED driver. It contains a high-efficiency step-up DC/DC converter and an output driver. The IC can output max.18V and drive as many as 4 white LEDs in series with a constant current, which guarantees the LEDs with uniform brightness. The high frequency of the step-up converter permits the use of small, low-profile inductors and capacitors to minimize the footprint in space-conscious applications. The NJU6048 also features low operating voltage of 1.7V and the small package SOT-23 (MTP-5). All of these benefits make the NJU6048 suitable for the battery-powered portable applications such as cellular phones, camcorders, PDAs, etc. NJU6048F !

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTONS (1) LED Current Control and Resistor RLED Selection The NJU6048 incorporates the LED current control to regulate the LED current (ILED), which is programmed by the feedback resistor (RLED) connected between the FB and the VSS terminals. Typically, the reference voltage VREF is internally regulated to 0.25V and is used as the positive input of the built-in comparator. Formula (1) is used to choose the value of the RLED, as shown below. RLED = VREF I LED --- Formula (1) VREF=0.25 (typical) The ILED is the constant current programmed by the RLED. When the feedback voltage on the FB terminal reaches above the reference voltage VREF (i.e., ILED is above the level programmed by RLED), the output capacitor C2 delivers the ILED. Once the feedback voltage drops below the reference voltage (i.e., ILED drops below the level programmed by the RLED), the MOS switch is turned on, then the current of the inductor L1 begins increasing. When the switch current reaches 250mA, the MOS switch is turned off, then the L1 delivers current to the output through the diode D1 as the inductor current drops. After that, the MOS switch is turned on again and the switch current increases up to 250mA. This switching cycle continues until the ILED reaches the level programmed by the RLED, then the ILED current is maintained constant. (2) Over Voltage Protection OVP is designed to prevent the damage of internal NMOS switch in case the increased impedance of the LED load (including the LED opened). Once the device detects over voltage at the output, the internal NMOS switch is kept off until the output voltage drops below 14V. (3) Inductor Selection A 10uH inductor is recommended for most application. The selected inductor must have a saturation current that meets the maximum peak current of the converter. Another important inductor parameter is the DC resistance. The lower DC resistance the device has higher efficiency. (4) Diode Selection A Schottky diode with a low forward-voltage-drop and a fast switching-speed is ideal for the D1. And the D1 must have a rating greater than the output voltage and output current in the system. (5) Capacitor Selection A low ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance) capacitor should be used as the output capacitor C2 to minimize output ripples. A multi-layer ceramic capacitor is the best selection for the NJU6048 application because of not only the low ESR but also small package. Application requires good line regulation ±1%(typ) should use output capacitor larger than 1uF. A ceramic capacitor is also recommended for the input decoupling-capacitor C1, and should be placed as close to the NJU6048 as possible. A 4.7uF is sufficient for most applications.
