EUP3595 Parallel White-LED Driver DESCRIPTION FEATURES The EUP3595 is a parallel white-LED driver with four matched current outputs. It can supply a total output current of 100mA over an input voltage range of 3.0V to 5.5V. The amount of constant current sourced to the outputs is user selectable using one external sense resistor. EUP3595 typically draws 0.01µA when placed in shutdown, and 180µA when operating in the no-load condition. If any of the outputs are not used, leave the pin(s) unconnected. Brightness can be controlled by PWM techniques or by adding a DC voltage. A PWM signal can be applied to the EN/PWM pin to vary the perceived brightness of the LED. The EUP3595 uses an active-high enable level. The EUP3595 is available in TDFN-8 and TSSOP-8 package. z z z z z z z z z APPLICATIONS z z z Typical Application Circuit Figure 1.

While disabled, the EUP3595 typically draws 0.01µA. There is no internal pull-up or pull-down on the PWM pin of the EUP3595, Do not let PWM pin floating. Output Current Capability The EUP3595 is capable of providing up to 25mA of current to each of the four outputs given an input voltage of 3.0V to 5.5V. The outputs have a typical current matching of ± 0.3% between adjacent sources. An external resistor can be used to set the output current, as approximated with the following the equation: (1)Using a PWM Signal to EN/PWM Pin Brightness control can be implemented by pulsing a signal at the PWM pin. The RSET value should be selected using the RSET equation. LED brightness is proportional to the duty cycle (D) of the PWM signal. For linear brightness control over the full duty cycle adjustment range, the PWM frequency (f) should be limited to accommodate the turn-on time (TON = 20µs) of the de- vice. D ∗ (1 / f ) > TON f MAX = D MIN / TON If the PWM frequency is much less than 100Hz, flicker may be seen in the LEDs. For the EUP3595, zero duty cycle will turn off the LEDs and a 50% duty cycle will result in an average ILED being half of the programmed LED current. For example, if RSET is set to program 15mA, a 50% duty cycle will result in an average ILED of 7.5mA, LED being half the programmed LED current. RSET should be chosen not to exceed the maximum current delivery capability of the device. R SET = 100 × (1.18 V / I LEDX ) In order for the output currents to be regulated properly, sufficient headroom voltage (VHR) must be present. The headroom voltage refers to the minimum amount of voltage that must be present across the current source in order to ensure the desired current is realizable. To ensure the desired current is obtained, apply the following equations to find the minimum input voltage required: (2)Using a DC Voltage Added to RSET Using an analog input voltage VADJ via a resister RADJ connects to the RSET pin can also be used to achieve setting LED current. Figure 3 shows this application circuit. For this application the LED's current can be derived from the following Equation. Figure 4 and table 2 shows the relation between VADJ and ILED of a typical application example, where the VADJ from 0 to 2.5V, RSET equals 11.5kΩ and RADJ equals 12.5kΩ. VIN − VLEDX ≥ VHR VLEDX is the diode forward voltage, and VHR is defined by the following equation: VHR = K HR × (0.95 × I LEDX ) ILEDX is the desired diode current, and kHR, typically 15mV/mA in the EUP3595, is a proportionality constant that represents the ON-resistance of the internal current mirror transistors. For worst-case design calculations, using a kHR of 20mV/mA is recommended. (Worst-case recommendation accounts for parameter shifts from part-to-part variation and applies over the full operating temperature range). Changes in headroom voltage from one output to the next, possible with LED forward voltage mismatch, will result in different output currents and LED brightness mismatch. Thus, operating the EUP3595 with insufficient headroom voltage across all current sources should be avoided. 1 1 + I LED = 100 × 1.18 × R SET R ADJ VADJ − R ADJ Table 1.

The Application Circuit of Brightness which Uses a DC Voltage Into RSET 6 EUP3595 With this configuration, two parallel current sources of equal value provide current to each LED. RSET should therefore be chosen so that the current through each output is programmed to 50% of the desired current through the parallel connected LEDs. For example, if 30mA is the desired drive current for 2 parallel connected LEDs, RSET should be selected so that the current through each of the outputs is 15mA. Other combinations of parallel outputs may be implemented in similar fashions, such as in Figure 6. Figure4. EUP3595 LED Current Setting Example Which Using a DC Voltage to RSET Table 2.

The maximum LED forward voltage that the EUP3595 can accommo -date is highly dependant upon VIN and ILEDX (See the section on Output Current Capability for more information on finding maximum VLEDX.) For applications that demand color and brightness matching, care must be taken to select LEDs from the same chromaticity group. Forward current matching is assured over the LED process variations due to the constant current outputs of the EUP3595. Figure 6. One Parallel Connected LED Connecting outputs in parallel does not affect internal operation of the EUP3595 and has no impact on the Electrical Characteristics and limits previously presented. The available diode output current, maximum diode voltage, and all other specifications provided in the Electrical Characteristics table apply to parallel output configurations, just as they do to the standard 4-LED application circuit. Power Consumption It is recommended that power consumed by the circuit (VIN × IIN) be evaluated rather than power efficiency. Figure 7 shows the power consumption of the EUP3595 Typical Application Circuit. Parallel LEDx Outputs for Increased Current Drive Outputs LED1 through LED4 may be connected together in any combination to drive higher currents through fewer LEDs. For example in Figure 5, outputs LED1 and LED2 are connected together to drive one LED while LED3 and LED4 are connected together to drive a second LED. Figure 5.

The EUP3595 come in the TDFN-8 package that has a junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA)equal to 50℃/W.This value of θJA is highly dependant upon the layout of the PC board. The actual power dissipated by the EUP3595 follows the equation: PDISS = (VIN × I IN ) − N (VLEDX × I LEDX ) Where N equals the number of active outputs, VLEDX is the LEDX LED forward voltage, and ILEDX is the current supplied to the LEDX diode by the EUP3595. Power dissipation must be less than that allowed by the package. Please refer to the Absolute Maximum Rating of the EUP3595. Input Capacitor Selection The EUP3595 is designed to run off of a fixed input voltage. Depending on the stability and condition of this voltage rail, it may be necessary to add a small input capacitor to help filter out any noise that may be present on the line. In the event that filtering is needed, surface mount multi-layer ceramic capacitors are recommended. These capacitors are small and inexpensive. A capacitance of 0.1µF is typically sufficient.
