The part includes an accurate programmable current source capable of driving loads up to 700mA from a 2.9V to 4.4V input. Low external parts count (two flying capacitors, one programming resistor and two bypass capacitors) makes the LTC3215 ideally suited for small, battery-powered applications. Built-in soft-start circuitry prevents excessive inrush current during start-up. High switching frequency enables the use of small external capacitors. LED current is programmed with an external resistor. The LED is disconnected from VIN during shutdown. An ultralow dropout current source maintains accurate LED current at very low ILED voltages. Automatic mode switching optimizes efficiency by monitoring the voltage across the LED current source and switching modes only when ILED dropout is detected. The LTC3215 is available in a low profile 3mm × 3mm 10-Lead DFN package. L, LT, LTC, LTM, Linear Technology and the Linear logo are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.

This pin may be enabled or disabled using the EN input. A 4.7µF X5R or X7R ceramic capacitor is required from CPO to GND. ILED (Pin 4): Output. ILED is the LED current source output. The LED is connected between CPO (anode) and ILED (cathode). The current into the ILED pin is set by the programming resistor connected from ISET to GND. ISET (Pin 5): LED Current Programming Resistor Pin. The ISET pin will servo to 1.22V. A resistor connected between this pin and GND is used to set the LED current level.

The part starts up into the 1x mode. In this mode, VIN is directly connected to CPO. This mode provides maximum efficiency and minimum noise. The LTC3215 will remain in this mode until the LED current source begins to dropout. When dropout is detected, the LTC3215 will switch to 1.5x mode after a soft-start period. Any subsequent dropout detected will cause the part to enter 2x mode. The part may be reset to 1x mode by bringing the part into shutdown mode and then reenabling the part. A two phase nonoverlapping clock activates the charge pump switches. In the 2x mode, the flying capacitors are charged on alternate clock phases from VIN. While one capacitor is being charged from VIN, the other is stacked on top of VIN and connected to the output. Alternatively, in the 1.5x mode the flying capacitors are charged in series during the first clock phase, and stacked in parallel on top of VIN on the second clock phase. This sequence of charging and discharging the flying capacitors continues at a free running frequency of 900kHz (typ). The current delivered to the LED load is controlled by the internal programmable current source. The value of this current may be selected by choosing the appropriate programming resistor. The resistor is connected between the ISET pin and GND. The resistor value needed to attain the desired current level can be determined by Equation 1. RSET = 3990/ILED (1) A resistor value of 2k or less (e.g., a short-circuit) will cause the LTC3215 to enter overcurrent shutdown mode. This mode will prevent damage to the part by shutting down the high power sections of the chip. 3215fc 6 LTC3215 OPERATION Regulation is achieved by sensing the voltage at the CPO pin and modulating the charge pump strength based on the error signal. The CPO regulation voltages are set internally, and are dependent on the charge pump mode as shown in Table 1. ROL 1.5VIN OR 2VIN + + – CPO 3215 F01 – Table 1. Charge Pump Output Regulation Voltages CHARGE PUMP MODE VCPO 1.5x 4.6V 2x 5.1V In shutdown mode all circuitry is turned off and the LTC3215 draws a very low current from the VIN supply. Furthermore, CPO is weakly connected to VIN. The LTC3215 enters shutdown mode when the EN pin is brought low. Since EN is a high impedance CMOS input it should never be allowed to float. To ensure that its state is defined, it must always be driven with valid logic levels. Figure 1. Charge Pump Open-Loop Thevenin-Equivalent Circuit ROL is dependent on a number of factors including the oscillator frequency, flying capacitor values and switch resistances. From Figure 1, we can see that the output current is proportional to: (1.5VIN – CPO)/ROL or (2VIN – CPO)/ROL (2) in the 1.5x mode or 2x mode respectively. Thermal Protection LED Current Programming The LTC3215 has built-in overtemperature protection. Thermal shutdown circuitry will shutdown the ILED output when the junction temperature exceeds approximately 150°C. It will re-enable the ILED output once the junction temperature drops back to approximately 135°C. The LTC3215 will cycle in and out of thermal shutdown indefinitely without latch up or damage until the heat source is removed. The LTC3215 includes an accurate, programmable current source that is capable of driving LED currents up to 350mA continuously and up to 700mA for pulsed operation. Pulsed operation may be achieved by toggling the EN pin. In either continuous or pulsed operation, proper board layout is required for effective heat sinking. Soft-Start To prevent excessive inrush current during start-up and mode switching, the LTC3215 employs built-in soft-start circuitry. Soft-start is achieved by increasing the amount of current available to the output charge storage capacitor linearly over a period of approximately 250µs. Charge Pump Strength When the LTC3215 operates in either the 1.5x mode or 2x mode, the charge pump can be modeled as a Theveninequivalent circuit to determine the amount of current available from the effective input voltage and effective open-loop output resistance, ROL(Figure 1). The current may be programmed using a single external resistor. Equation 1, used to calculate the resistor value from the desired current level is repeated below: RSET = 3990/ILED (1) For applications requiring multiple current levels, several schemes may be used to change the resistance for the RSET resistor. Figure 2 shows two such schemes. The circuit in Figure 2a uses the I/O output of a microcontroller to switch a second resistor (R2) in parallel or series with R1, changing the effective ISET current. Alternatively, the circuit in Figure 2b uses a pulse-width modulator (PWM) to vary the current through RSET, which changes the LED current. 3215fc 7 LTC3215 OPERATION Mode Switching The LTC3215 will automatically switch from 1x mode to 1.5x mode, and subsequently from 1.5x mode to 2x mode whenever a dropout condition is detected at the ILED pin. The part will wait approximately 2ms before switching to the next mode. This delay allows the LED to warm up and reduce its forward voltage which may remove the dropout condition. 2.2µF C1+ µP VIO C1– C2+ 2.2µF C2– 2.9V TO 4.4V 4.7µF LTC3215 ILED EN VIO C1+ CPO 2.2µF ON/OFF TORCH/FLASH 2.2µF VIN 2.9V TO 4.4V In order to reset the part back into 1x mode, the LTC3215 must be brought into shutdown (EN = LOW). Immediately after the part has been brought to shutdown, it may be enabled into the 1x mode via the EN pin. An internal comparator will not allow the main switches to connect VIN and CPO in 1x mode until the voltage at the CPO pin has decayed to less than or equal to the voltage at the VIN pin.

To reduce noise and ripple, it is recommended that low equivalent series resistance (ESR) ceramic capacitors be used for both CVIN and CCPO. Tantalum and aluminum capacitors are not recommended because of their high ESR. The value of CCPO directly controls the amount of output ripple for a given load current. Increasing the size of CCPO will reduce the output ripple at the expense of higher start-up current. The peak-to-peak output ripple for 1.5x mode is approximately given by the expression: VRIPPLE(P-P) = IOUT/(3fOSC • CCPO) the charge pump is on either the input charging phase or the output charging phase but will drop to zero during the clock nonoverlap times. Since the nonoverlap time is small (~15ns), these missing “notches” will result in only a small perturbation on the input power supply line. Note that a higher ESR capacitor such as tantalum will have higher input noise due to the input current change times the ESR. Therefore, ceramic capacitors are again recommended for their exceptional ESR performance. Input noise can be further reduced by powering the LTC3215 through a very small series inductor as shown in Figure 3. A 10nH inductor will reject the fast current notches, thereby presenting a nearly constant current load to the input power supply. For economy, the 10nH inductor can be fabricated on the PC board with about 1cm (0.4") of PC board trace. (3) Where fOSC is the LTC3215’s oscillator frequency (typically 900kHz) and CCPO is the output storage capacitor. Both the style and value of the output capacitor can significantly affect the stability of the LTC3215. As shown in the block diagram, the LTC3215 uses a control loop to adjust the strength of the charge pump to match the current required at the output. The error signal of this loop is stored directly on the output charge storage capacitor. The charge storage capacitor also serves as the dominant pole for the control loop. To prevent ringing or instability, it is important for the output capacitor to maintain at least 2.2µF of actual capacitance over all conditions. Likewise, excessive ESR on the output capacitor will tend to degrade the loop stability of the LTC3215. The closed loop output resistance of the LTC3215 is designed to be 76mΩ. For a 100mA load current change, the error signal will change by about 7.6mV. If the output capacitor has 76mΩ or more of ESR, the closed-loop frequency response will cease to roll off in a simple one-pole fashion and poor load transient response or instability could result. Multilayer ceramic chip capacitors typically have exceptional ESR performance. MLCCs combined with a tight board layout will yield very good stability. As the value of CCPO controls the amount of output ripple, the value of CVIN controls the amount of ripple present at the input pin (VIN). The input current to the LTC3215 will be relatively constant while 10nH 0.1µF VIN 2.2µF LTC3215 GND 3215 F03 Figure 3. 10nH Inductor Used for Input Noise Reduction (Approximately 1cm of Wire) Flying Capacitor Selection Warning: Polarized capacitors such as tantalum or aluminum should never be used for the flying capacitors since their voltage can reverse upon start-up of the LTC3215. Ceramic capacitors should always be used for the flying capacitors. The flying capacitors control the strength of the charge pump. In order to achieve the rated output current it is necessary to have at least 2.2µF of actual capacitance for each of the flying capacitors. Capacitors of different materials lose their capacitance with higher temperature and voltage at different rates. For example, a ceramic capacitor made of X7R material will retain most of its capacitance from – 40oC to 85oC whereas a Z5U or Y5V style capacitor will lose considerable capacitance over that range. Z5U and Y5V capacitors may also have a very poor voltage coefficient causing them to lose 60% or more of their capacitance when the rated voltage is applied. Therefore, 3215fc 9 LTC3215 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION when comparing different capacitors, it is often more appropriate to compare the amount of achievable capacitance for a given case size rather than comparing the specified capacitance value. For example, over rated voltage and temperature conditions, a 1µF, 10V, Y5V ceramic capacitor in a 0603 case may not provide any more capacitance than a 0.22µF, 10V, X7R available in the same case. The capacitor manufacturer’s data sheet should be consulted to determine what value of capacitor is needed to ensure minimum capacitances at all temperatures and voltages. The flying capacitor pins C1+, C2+, C1– and C2– will have very high edge rate waveforms. The large dv/dt on these pins can couple energy capacitively to adjacent PCB runs. Magnetic fields can also be generated if the flying capacitors are not close to the LTC3215 (i.e., the loop area is large). To decouple capacitive energy transfer, a Faraday shield may be used. This is a grounded PCB trace between the sensitive node and the LTC3215 pins. For a high quality AC ground, it should be returned to a solid ground plane that extends all the way to the LTC3215. Table 2 shows a list of ceramic capacitor manufacturers and how to contact them. The following guidelines should be followed when designing a PCB layout for the LTC3215. Table 2. Recommended Capacitor Vendors • The Exposed Pad should be soldered to a large copper plane that is connected to a solid, low impedance ground plane using plated, through-hole vias for proper heat sinking and noise protection. AVX www.avxcorp.com Kemet www.kemet.com Murata www.murata.com Taiyo Yuden www.t-yuden.com Vishay www.vishay.com TDK www.tdk.com • Input and output capacitors (CIN and CCPO) must also be placed as close to the part as possible. Layout Considerations and Noise Due to its high switching frequency and the transient currents produced by the LTC3215, careful board layout is necessary. A true ground plane and short connections to all capacitors will improve performance and ensure proper regulation under all conditions. An example of such a layout is shown in Figure 4. C1 • The flying capacitors must also be placed as close to the part as possible. The traces running from the pins to the capacitor pads should be as wide as possible. • VIN, CPO and ILED traces must be made as wide as possible. This is necessary to minimize inductance, as well as provide sufficient area for high current applications. • LED pads must be large and should be connected to as much solid metal as possible to ensure proper heat sinking. Power Efficiency CCPO PIN 1 To calculate the power efficiency (η) of a white LED driver chip, the LED power should be compared to the input power. The difference between these two numbers represents lost power whether it is in the charge pump or the current sources. Stated mathematically, the power efficiency is given by: C2 RSET CIN η≡ 3215 F04 PLED PIN (4) Figure 4. Example Board Layout 3215fc 10 LTC3215 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION The efficiency of the LTC3215 depends upon the mode in which it is operating. Recall that the LTC3215 operates as a pass switch, connecting VIN to CPO, until dropout is detected at the ILED pin. This feature provides the optimum efficiency available for a given input voltage and LED forward voltage. When it is operating as a switch, the efficiency is approximated by: η≡ PLED VLED •ILED VLED = ≈ PIN VIN •IIN VIN (5) since the input current will be very close to the LED current. At moderate to high output power, the quiescent current of the LTC3215 is negligible and the expression above is valid. Once dropout is detected at the ILED pin, the LTC3215 enables the charge pump in 1.5x mode. In 1.5x boost mode, the efficiency is similar to that of a linear regulator with an effective input voltage of 1.5 times the actual input voltage. This is because the input current for a 1.5x charge pump is approximately 1.5 times the load current. In an ideal 1.5x charge pump, the power efficiency would be given by: ηIDEAL ≡ PLED VLED •ILED V = ≈ LED PIN VIN • 1.5ILED 1.5VIN Similarly, in 2x boost mode, the efficiency is similar to that of a linear regulator with an effective input voltage of 2 times the actual input voltage. In an ideal 2x charge pump, the power efficiency would be given by: ηIDEAL ≡ PLED VLED •ILED V = ≈ LED PIN VIN • 2 •ILED 2 • VIN (7) Thermal Management For higher input voltages and maximum output current, there can be substantial power dissipation in the LTC3215. If the junction temperature increases above approximately 150°C, the thermal shutdown circuitry will automatically deactivate the output. To reduce maximum junction temperature, a good thermal connection to the PC board is recommended. Connecting the Exposed Pad to a ground plane and maintaining a solid ground plane under the device can reduce the thermal resistance of the package and PC board considerably.
