CAT3643 3-Channel Ultra High Efficiency Quad-Mode™ LED Driver FEATURES DESCRIPTION High efficiency 1.33x charge pump The CAT3643 is a high efficiency quad-mode fractional charge pump that can drive up to three LEDs programmable by a one wire digital interface. The inclusion of a 1.33x fractional charge pump mode increases device efficiency by up to 10% over traditional 1.5x charge pumps with no added external capacitors. Quad-mode charge pump: 1x, 1.33x, 1.5x, 2x Drives up to 3 LEDs at 32mA each 1-wire EZDim™ LED current programming Power efficiency up to 92% Low noise input ripple in all modes Low noise input ripple is achieved by operating at a constant switching frequency which allows the use of small external ceramic capacitors. The multi-fractional charge pump supports a wide range of input voltages from 2.4V to 5.5V. “Zero” current shutdown mode Soft start and current limiting Short circuit protection Thermal shutdown protection Tiny 12-lead XQFN, 12-lead TDFN and 16-lead TQFN packages The EN/DIM logic input functions as a chip enable and a digital dimming interface for current setting of all LEDs. Six different current ratios are available via the interface.

LED3 LED3 cathode terminal. RSET Connect resistor RSET to set the LED current. EN/DIM VOUT Device enable (active high) and Dimming Control. Charge pump output connected to the LED anodes. VIN Charge pump input, connect to battery or supply. C1+ Bucket capacitor 1 Positive terminal C1- Bucket capacitor 1 Negative terminal C2+ Bucket capacitor 2 Positive terminal C2- Bucket capacitor 2 Negative terminal GND Ground Reference NC GND Not connected inside package. Connect to GND on the PCB. PIN FUNCTION VIN is the supply pin for the charge pump. 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. C1+, C1- are connected to each side of the ceramic bucket capacitor C1. C2+, C2- are connected to each side of the ceramic bucket capacitor C2. LED1, LED2, LED3 provide the internal regulated current sources for each of the LED cathodes. These pins enter high-impedance zero current state whenever the device is placed in shutdown mode. 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. 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. RSET is connected to the resistor (RSET) to set the full scale current for the LEDs. The voltage at this pin 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. VOUT is the charge pump output that is connected to the LED anodes. A small 1μF ceramic bypass capacitor is required between the VOUT pin and ground near the device. GND is the ground reference for the charge pump. The pin must be connected to the ground plane on the PCB. © 2007 Catalyst Semiconductor, Inc. Characteristics subject to change without notice 9 Doc.

CAT3643 Functional Block Diagram BASIC OPERATION At power-up, the CAT3643 starts operating in 1x mode where the output will be approximately equal to the input supply voltage (less any internal voltage losses). If the output voltage is sufficient to regulate all LED currents, the device remains in 1x operating mode. If the input voltage is insufficient or falls to a level where the regulated currents cannot be maintained, the device automatically switches into 1.33x mode (after a fixed delay time of about 400μs). In 1.33x mode, the output voltage is approximately equal to 1.33 times the input supply voltage (less any internal voltage losses). Doc. No. 5022 Rev. B The above sequence repeats in the 1.33x and 1.5x mode until the driver enters the 2x mode. In 1.5x mode, the output voltage is approximately equal to 1.5 times the input supply voltage. While in 2x mode, the output is approximately equal to 2 times the input supply voltage. If the device detects a sufficient input voltage is present to drive all LED currents in 1x mode, it will change automatically back to 1x mode. This only applies for changing back to the 1x mode. The difference between the input voltage when exiting 1x mode and returning to 1x mode is called the 1x mode transition hysteresis (VHYS) and is about 500mV. 10 © 2007 Catalyst Semiconductor, Inc. Characteristics subject to change without notice CAT3643 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 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 TSETUP 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 LED driver enters a “zero current” shutdown mode if EN/DIM is held low for 1.5ms or more. TPWRDWN THI EN/DIM TLED TLO 100% 100% 50% LED Current 25% Shutdown 12.5% 6.25% 3.12% Shutdown Figure 3.

Characteristics subject to change without notice 11 Doc. No. 5022, Rev. B CAT3643 Unused LED Channels External Components For applications not requiring all the channels, it is recommended the unused LED pins be tied directly to VOUT (see Figure 4). The driver requires four external 1μF ceramic capaci– tors for decoupling input, output, and for the charge pump. Both capacitors type X5R and X7R are recommended for the LED driver application. In all charge pump modes, the input current ripple is kept very low by design and an input bypass capacitor of 1μF is sufficient. 1µF C1+ VIN CIN C2VOUT In 1x mode, the device operates in linear mode and does not introduce switching noise back onto the supply. COUT 1µF ENABLE DIMMING C1- C2+ VIN 1µF CAT3643 1µF EN/DIM LED1 RSET LED2 GND RSET Recommended Layout In charge pump mode, the driver switches internally at a high frequency. It is recommended to minimize trace length to all four capacitors. A ground plane should cover the area under the driver IC as well as the bypass capacitors. Short connection to ground on capacitors CIN and COUT can be implemented with the use of multiple via. A copper area matching the TQFN exposed pad (TAB) must be connected to the ground plane underneath. The use of multiple via improves the package heat dissipation. LED3 Figure 4. Application with 2 LEDs Protection Mode If an LED is disconnected, the driver senses that and automatically ignores that channel. When all LEDs are disconnected, the driver goes to 1x mode where the output is equal to the input voltage. C2 Pin1 As soon as the output exceeds about 6V, the driver resets itself and reevaluate the mode. If the die temperature exceeds +150°C, the driver will enter a thermal protection shutdown mode. When the device temperature drops by about 20°C, the device will resume normal operation. RSET EN/DIM C1 LED Selection COUT CIN GND LEDs with forward voltages (VF) ranging from 1.3V to 4.3V may be used. Selecting LEDs with lower VF is recommended in order to improve the efficiency by keeping the driver in 1x mode longer as the battery voltage decreases. VIN GND VOUT Figure 5. TDFN-12 Recommended Layout For example, if a white LED with a VF of 3.3V is selected over one with VF of 3.5V, the driver will stay in 1x mode for lower supply voltage of 0.2V. This helps improve the efficiency and extends battery life. Doc. No. 5022 Rev. B 12 © 2007 Catalyst Semiconductor, Inc.
