The first output (MAIN) is a constant current sink for driving series white LED’s. The second output (SUB/FB) is configurable as a constant current sink for series white LED bias, or as a feedback pin to set a constant output voltage for powering OLED panels. As a dual output white LED bias supply, the LM3528 adaptively regulates the supply voltage of the LED strings to maximize efficiency and insure the current sinks remain in regulation. The maximum current per output is set via a single external low power resistor. An I2C compatible interface allows for independent adjustment of the LED current in either output from 0 to max current in 128 exponential steps. When configured as a white LED + OLED bias supply the LM3528 can independently and simultaneously drive a string of up to 6 white LED’s and deliver a constant output voltage of up to 21V for OLED panels.

Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage. ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications. DESCRIPTION (CONTINUED) Output over-voltage protection shuts down the device if VOUT rises above 22V allowing for the use of small sized low voltage output capacitors. Other features include a dedicated general purpose I/O (GPIO) and a multifunction pin (HWEN/PGEN/GPIO) which can be configured as a 32 bit pattern generator, a hardware enable input, or as a GPIO. When configured as a pattern generator, an arbitrary pattern is programmed via the I2C compatible interface and output at HWEN/PGEN/GPIO for indicator LED flashing or for external logic control. The LM3528 is offered in a tiny 12-bump DSBGA package and operates over the -40°C to +85°C temperature range.

LM3528 Block Diagram OPERATION DESCRIPTION The LM3528 Current Mode PWM boost converter operates from a 2.7V to 5.5V input and provides two regulated outputs for White LED and OLED display biasing. The first output, MAIN, provides a constant current of up to 30mA to bias up to 6 series white LED’s. The second output, SUB/FB, can be configured as a current source for up to 6 series white LED’s at up to 30mA, or as a feedback voltage pin to regulate a constant output voltage of up to 21V. When both MAIN and SUB/FB are configured for white LED bias the current for each LED string is controlled independently or in unison via an I2C-compatible interface. When MAIN is configured for white LED bias and SUB/FB is configured as a feedback voltage pin, the current into MAIN is controlled via the I2Ccompatible interface and SUB/FB becomes the middle tap of a resistive divider used to regulate the output voltage of the boost converter. The core of the LM3528 is a Current Mode Boost converter. Operation is as follows. At the start of each switching cycle the internal oscillator sets the PWM converter. The converter turns the NMOS switch on, allowing the inductor current to ramp while the output capacitor supplies power to the white LED’s and/or OLED panel. The error signal at the output of the error amplifier is compared against the sensed inductor current. When the sensed inductor current equals the error signal, or when the maximum duty cycle is reached, the NMOS switch turns off causing the external Schottky diode to pick up the inductor current. This allows the inductor current to ramp down causing its stored energy to charge the output capacitor and supply power to the load. At the end of the clock period the PWM controller is again set and the process repeats itself. 12 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2008–2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM3528 LM3528 www.ti.com SNVS513B – AUGUST 2008 – REVISED MAY 2013 Adaptive Regulation When biasing dual white led strings (White LED mode) the LM3528 maximizes efficiency by adaptively regulating the output voltage. In this configuration the 500mV reference is connected to the non-inverting input of the error amplifier via mux S2 (see Figure 37). The lowest of either VMAIN or VSUB/FB is then applied to the inverting input of the error amplifier via mux S1. This ensures that VMAIN and VSUB/FB are at least 500mV, thus providing enough voltage headroom at the input to the current sinks for proper current regulation. In the instance when there are unequal numbers of LEDs or unequal currents from string to string, the string with the highest voltage will be the regulation point. Unison/Non-Unison Mode Within White LED mode there are two separate modes of operation, Unison and Non-Unison. Non-Unison mode provides for independent current regulation, while Unison mode gives up independent regulation for more accurate matching between LED strings. When in Non-Unison mode the LED currents IMAIN and ISUB/FB are independently controlled via registers BMAIN and BSUB respectively (see Brightness Registers (BMAIN and BSUB) section). When in Unison mode BSUB is disabled and both IMAIN and ISUB/FB are controlled via BMAIN only. Start-Up The LM3528 features an internal soft-start, preventing large inrush currents during start-up that can cause excessive voltage ripple on the input. For the typical application circuits when the device is brought out of shutdown the average input current ramps from zero to 450mA in approximately 1.2ms. See Start Up Plots in the Typical Performance Characteristics. OLED Mode When the LM3528 is configured for a single White LED bias + OLED display bias (OLED mode), the noninverting input of the error amplifier is connected to the internal 1.21V reference via MUX S2. MUX S1 switches SUB/FB to the inverting input of the error amplifier while disconnecting the internal current sink at SUB/FB. The voltage at MAIN is not regulated in OLED mode so when the application requires white LED + OLED panel biasing, ensure that at least 300mV of headroom is maintained at MAIN to ensure proper regulation of IMAIN. (see the Typical Performance Characteristics for a plot of ILED vs Current Source Headroom Voltage) Peak Current Limit The LM3528’s boost converter has a peak current limit for the internal power switch of 770mA typical (650mA minimum). When the peak switch current reaches the current limit the duty cycle is terminated resulting in a limit on the maximum output current and thus the maximum output power the LM3528 can deliver. Calculate the maximum LED current as a function of VIN, VOUT, L and IPEAK as: (IPEAK IOUT_MAX = where 'IL = 'IL) u K u VIN VOUT VIN u (VOUT VIN) 2 u fSW u L u VOUT (1) ƒSW = 1.27MHz. Typical values for efficiency and IPEAK can be found in the efficiency and IPEAK curves in the Typical Performance Characteristics. Over Voltage Protection The LM3528's output voltage (VOUT) is limited on the high end by the Output Over-Voltage Protection Threshold (VOVP) of 21.2V (min). In White LED mode during output open circuit conditions the output voltage will rise to the over voltage protection threshold. When this happens the controller will stop switching causing VOUT to droop. When the output voltage drops below 19.7V (min) the device will resume switching. If the device remains in an over voltage condition the LM3528 will repeat the cycle causing the output to cycle between the high and low OVP thresholds. See waveform for OVP condition in the Typical Performance Characteristics.

Two modes of operation affect the current matching between IMAIN and ISUB/FB. The first mode (Non-Unison mode) is set by writing a 0 to bit 2 of the General Purpose register (UNI bit). Non-Unison mode allows for independent programming of IMAIN and ISUB/FB via registers BMAIN and BSUB respectively. In this mode typical matching between current sinks is 1%. Writing a 1 to UNI configures the device for Unison mode. In Unison mode, BSUB is disabled and IMAIN and ISUB/FB are both controlled via register BMAIN. In this mode typical matching is 0.15%. Light Load Operation The LM3528 boost converter operates in three modes; continuous conduction, discontinuous conduction, and skip mode operation. Under heavy loads when the inductor current does not reach zero before the end of the switching period the device switches at a constant frequency. As the output current decreases and the inductor current reaches zero before the end of the switching cycle, the device operates in discontinuous conduction. At very light loads the LM3528 will enter skip mode operation causing the switching period to lengthen and the device to only switch as required to maintain regulation at the output. Hardware Enable/Pattern Generator/General Purpose I/O (HWEN/PGEN/GPIO) HWEN/PGEN/GPIO can be configured for three different modes of operation; Hardware Enable, Pattern Generation, and General Purpose I/O. Register HPG at address 0x80 controls the functionality of this pin (see Table 6). Hardware Enable (HWEN) On initial power-up HWEN/PGEN/GPIO defaults to the Hardware Enable (HWEN) state. In this mode HWEN/PGEN/GPIO is an active high open-drain input enable to the device. When in HWEN mode HWEN/PGEN/GPIO must be pulled up to at least 0.7 × VIO to enable the device. In HWEN mode pulling HWEN/PGEN/GPIO below 0.36 × VIO will shutdown the LM3528, resetting all registers, and forcing MAIN, SUB/FB, and SW high impedance. Bit 0 of the HPG register controls the HWEN function. Writing a ‘0’ to this bit enables the HWEN mode. Writing a ‘1’ to this bit disables the HWEN mode and allows selection between the other two modes. Pattern Generator (PGEN) With bit 0 of the HPG register set to 1, HWEN/PGEN/GPIO can be programmed as an open drain Pattern Generator Output (PGEN). In PGEN mode a 32 bit pattern is output at HWEN/PGEN/GPIO. This pattern can be programmed to repeat itself at 4 different frequencies and 6 different duty cycles. The arbitrary pattern is programmed into four 8 bit registers; PGEN0 (address 0x90), PGEN1 (address 0x91), PGEN2 (address 0x92), and PGEN3 (address 0x93) (see Figure 47 - Figure 50). Figure 51 details an example of a 32 bit pattern at a specific programmed duty cycle and frequency. A ‘1’ written to the PGEN_ registers forces HWEN/PGEN/GPIO low. A ‘0’ causes HWEN/PGEN/GPIO to go open drain. Bits <5:3> in the HPG register have three functions; GPIO enable, duty cycle select, and pattern latch. Any combination of these bits other than ‘000’ or ’111’ puts HWEN/PGEN/GPIO into PGEN mode at the specified duty cycle shown in Table 6. Writing a ‘111’ to bits <5:3> latches the 32 bit pattern programmed into the 4 pattern generator registers PGEN0, PGEN1, PGEN2, PGEN3 into the internal shift register. When bits <5:3> = ‘000’ the PGEN mode is off and HWEN/PGEN/GPIO is configured as a GPIO. Bits <7:6> of the HPG register control the pattern frequency. See Table 6 for the detailed breakdown of each available frequency. Figure 51 details the pattern programming and Figure 52 shows the pattern output at HWEN/PGEN/GPIO. General Purpose I/O (GPIO1) With bits <5:3> and bit 0 of the HPG register all set to ‘0’ HWEN/PGEN/GPIO functions as an open drain General Purpose I/O. In this mode, bit 1 of the HPG register controls the logic direction (Input or Output) and bit 2 holds the logic data. With bit 1 set to ‘0’ HWEN/PGEN/GPIO is configured as an output. In this mode a ‘0’ written to bit 2 forces HWEN/PGEN/GPIO to logic low. Likewise, a ‘1’ written to bit 2 will force HWEN/PGEN/GPIO open drain. When bit 1 is set to ‘1’ HWEN/PGEN/GPIO is configured as a logic input.

Likewise, when HWEN/PGEN/GPIO is externally pulled high a ‘1’ is written to bit 2 of the HPG register. Table 6 and Figure 45 detail the bit functions of the HPG register and their power-on-reset values. Note that the logic output levels for the GPIO function of this pin are inverted compared to the PGEN functions. For example, a 1 written to the PGEN registers cause the HWEN/PGEN/GPIO pin to pull low while a 1 written to bit 2 of the HPG register causes the pin to go open drain. General Purpose I/O (GPIO0) The GPIO pin is a dedicated General Purpose I/O (open drain) and is controlled via the GPIO register at address 0x81. Bit 1 holds the logic data while bit 0 controls the logic direction (Input or Output). Bits <7:2> are un-used and will always read back as logic '1'. With bit 0 set to ‘0’ GPIO is configured as an output. In this mode a ‘0’ written to bit 1 forces GPIO to a logic low. Likewise, a ‘1’ written to bit 1 will force GPIO to logic high. When bit 0 is set to ‘1’ GPIO is configured as a logic input. In this mode when GPIO is externally pulled low a ‘0’ is written to bit 1 of the GPIO register. Likewise, when GPIO is externally pulled high a ‘1’ is written to bit 2 of the HPG register. Table 8 and Figure 46 detail the bit functions and power-on-reset values of GPIO. During an initial GPIO write two I2C sequences (Slave I.D, Register Address, Register Data) are required to change the state of the GPIO pin. The first write configures the GPIO pin as an output. The second write will change the state of the GPIO output to the desired logic '1' or '0'. Thermal Shutdown The LM3528 offers a thermal shutdown protection. When the die temperature reaches +140°C the device will shutdown and not turn on again until the die temperature falls below +120°C. I2C Compatible Interface The LM3528 is controlled via an I2C-compatible interface. START and STOP conditions classify the beginning and the end of the I2C session. A START condition is defined as SDA transitioning from HIGH to LOW while SCL is HIGH. A STOP condition is defined as SDA transitioning from LOW to HIGH while SCL is HIGH. The I2C master always generates START and STOP conditions. The I2C bus is considered busy after a START condition and free after a STOP condition. During data transmission, the I2C master can generate repeated START conditions. A START and a repeated START conditions are equivalent function-wise. The data on SDA must be stable during the HIGH period of the clock signal (SCL). In other words, the state of SDA can only be changed when SCL is LOW. SDA SCL S P Start Condition Stop Condition Figure 38. Start and Stop Sequences I2C Compatible Address The chip address for the LM3528 is 0110110 (36h). After the START condition, the I2C master sends the 7-bit chip address followed by a read or write bit (R/W). R/W= 0 indicates a WRITE and R/W = 1 indicates a READ. The second byte following the chip address selects the register address to which the data will be written. The third byte contains the data for the selected register.

The master releases SDA (HIGH) during the 9th clock pulse. The LM3528 pulls down SDA during the 9th clock pulse, signifying an acknowledge.

Example 1: Step 1: Write to BMAIN a value corresponding to IMAIN = 20mA. Step 2: Write 1 to ENM (turning on MAIN) Step 3: IMAIN ramps to 20mA with a rate set by RMP0 and RMP1. (RMP0 and RMP1 bits set the duration spent at one brightness code before incrementing to the next). Step 4: ENM is set to 0 before 20mA is reached, thus the LED current fades off at a rate given by RMP0 and RMP1 without IMAIN going up to 20mA. Example 2: Step 1: ENM is 1, and BMAIN has been programmed with code 0x01. This results in a small current into MAIN. Step 2: BMAIN is programmed with 0x7F (full scale current). This causes IMAIN to ramp toward full-scale at the rate selected by RMP0 and RMP1. Step 3: Before IMAIN reaches full-scale BMAIN is programmed with 0x30. IMAIN will continue to ramp to full scale. Step 4: When IMAIN has reached full-scale value it will ramp down to the current corresponding to 0x30 at a rate set by RMP0 and RMP1. Example 3: Step 1: Write to BMAIN a value corresponding to IMAIN = 20mA. Step 2: Write a 1 to both RMP0 and RMP1. Step 3: Write 1 to ENM (turning on MAIN). Step 4: IMAIN ramps toward 20mA with a rate set by RMP0 and RMP1. (RMP0 and RMP1 bits set the duration spent at one brightness code before incrementing to the next). Step 5: After 1.222s IMAIN has ramped to 19.687% of ILED_MAX (0.19687 × 20mA = 3.9374mA). Simultaneously, RMP0 and RMP1 are both programmed with 0. Step 6: IMAIN continues ramping from 3.9374mA to 20mA, but at a new ramp rate of 12.75µs/step. 20 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2008–2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM3528 LM3528 www.ti.com SNVS513B – AUGUST 2008 – REVISED MAY 2013 Table 6.

Pattern Generation Output Shutdown and Output Isolation The LM3528 provides a true shutdown for either MAIN or SUB/FB when configured as a White LED bias supply. Write a 0 to ENM (bit 1) of the General Purpose register to turn off the MAIN current sink and force MAIN high impedance. Write a 0 to ENS (bit 2) of the General Purpose register to turn off the SUB/FB current sink and force SUB/FB high impedance. Writing a 1 to ENM or ENS turns on the MAIN and SUB/FB current sinks respectively. When in shutdown the leakage current into MAIN or SUB/FB is typically 1.8µA. See Typical Performance Characteristics Plots for start-up responses of the LM3528 using the ENM and ENS bits in White LED and OLED modes. Application Information LED Current Setting/Maximum LED Current Connect a resistor (RSET) from SET to GND to program the maximum LED current (ILED_MAX) into MAIN or SUB/FB. The RSET to ILED_MAX relationship is: Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2008–2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM3528 23 LM3528 SNVS513B – AUGUST 2008 – REVISED MAY 2013 ILED_MAX = 192 u www.ti.com 1.244V RSET (5) where SET provides the constant 1.244V output. Output Voltage Setting (OLED Mode) Connect Feedback resistors from the converters output to SUB/FB to GND to set the output voltage in OLED mode (see R1 and R2 in the Figure 1 (OLED Panel Power Supply). First select R2 < 100kΩ then calculate R1 such that: · §V R1 = R 2 ¨ OUT - 1¸ 1.21V ¹ © (6) In OLED mode the MAIN current sink continues to regulate the current through MAIN, however, VMAIN is no longer regulated. To avoid dropout and ensure proper current regulation the application must ensure that VMAIN > 0.3V. Input Capacitor Selection Choosing the correct size and type of input capacitor helps minimize the input voltage ripple caused by the switching of the LM3528’s boost converter. For continuous inductor current operation the input voltage ripple is composed of 2 primary components, the capacitor discharge (delta VQ) and the capacitor’s equivalent series resistance (delta VESR). These ripple components are found by: 'VQ = 'I L x D 2 x f SW x C IN and 'VESR = 2 x 'I L x R ESR where 'I L = VIN x (VOUT - VIN ) 2 x f SW x L x VOUT (7) In the typical application circuit a 1µF ceramic input capacitor works well. Since the ESR in ceramic capacitors is typically less than 5mΩ and the capacitance value is usually small, the input voltage ripple is primarily due to the capacitive discharge. With larger value capacitors such as tantalum or aluminum electrolytic the ESR can be greater than 0.5Ω. In this case the input ripple will primarily be due to the ESR. Output Capacitor Selection The LM3528’s output capacitor supplies the LED current during the boost converters on time. When the switch turns off the inductor energy is discharged through the diode supplying power to the LED’s and restoring charge to the output capacitor. This causes a sag in the output voltage during the on time and a rise in the output voltage during the off time. The output capacitor is therefore chosen to limit the output ripple to an acceptable level depending on LED or OLED panel current requirements and input/output voltage differentials. For proper operation ceramic output capacitors ranging from 1µF to 2.2µF are required. As with the input capacitor, the output voltage ripple is composed of two parts, the ripple due to capacitor discharge (delta VQ) and the ripple due to the capacitors ESR (delta VESR). For continuous conduction mode, the ripple components are found by: 'VQ = ILED u (VOUT fSW u VOUT u COUT 'VESR = RESR u where 24 VIN) 'IL = and § ILED u VOUT · + 'IL¸ ¨ VIN © ¹ VIN u (VOUT VIN) 2 u fSW u L u VOUT (8) Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2008–2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM3528 LM3528 www.ti.com SNVS513B – AUGUST 2008 – REVISED MAY 2013 Table 8 lists different manufacturers for various capacitors and their case sizes that are suitable for use with the LM3528. When configured as a dual output LED driver a 1µF output capacitor is adequate. In OLED mode for output voltages above 12V a 2.2µF output capacitor is required (see Low Output Voltage Operation (OLED) Section). Table 8.

When selecting the inductor ensure that the saturation current rating (ISAT) for the chosen inductor is high enough and the inductor is large enough such that at the maximum LED current the peak inductor current is less than the LM3528’s peak switch current limit.

The diodes average current rating should be high enough to handle the LM3528’s output current. Additionally, the diodes peak current rating must be high enough to handle the peak inductor current. Schottky diodes are recommended due to their lower forward voltage drop (0.3V to 0.5V) compared to (0.6V to 0.8V) for PN junction diodes. If a PN junction diode is used, ensure it is the ultra-fast type (trr < 50ns) to prevent excessive loss in the rectifier. For Schottky diodes the B05030WS (or equivalent) work well for most designs. See Table 10 for a list of other Schottky Diodes with similar performance.

Calculate the maximum output current (IOUT_MAX) using the following equation: (IPEAK IOUT_MAX = where 'IL = 'IL) u K u VIN VOUT VIN u (VOUT VIN) 2 u fSW u L u VOUT (10) For the typical application circuit with VOUT = 18V and assuming 70% efficiency, the maximum output current at VIN = 2.7V will be approximately 70mA. At 4.2V due to the shorter on times and lower average input currents the maximum output current (at 70% efficiency) jumps to approximately 105mA. Figure 53 shows a plot of IOUT_MAX vs. VIN using the above equation, assuming 80% efficiency. In reality, factors such as current limit and efficiency will vary over VIN, temperature, and component selection. This can cause the actual IOUT_MAX to be higher or lower. Figure 53. Typical Maximum Output Current in OLED Mode (assumed 80% efficiency) Output Voltage Range (OLED Mode) The LM3528's output voltage is constrained by 2 factors. On the low end it is limited by the minimum duty cycle of 10% (assuming continuous conduction) and on the high end it is limited by the over voltage protection threshold (VOVP) of 22V (typical). In order to maintain stability when operating at different output voltages the output capacitor and inductor must be changed.

LED Backlight + OLED Power Supply Layout Considerations Refer to AN-1112 SNVA009 for DSBGA package soldering The high switching frequencies and large peak currents in the LM3528 make the PCB layout a critical part of the design. The proceeding steps should be followed to ensure stable operation and proper current source regulation. 1. CIN should be located on the top layer and as close to the device as possible. The input capacitor supplies the driver currents during MOSFET switching and can have relatively large spikes. Connecting the capacitor close to the device will reduce the inductance between CIN and the LM3528 and eliminate much of the noise that can disturb the internal analog circuitry. 2. Connect the anode of the Schottky diode as close to the SW pin as possible. This reduces the inductance between the internal MOSFET and the diode and minimizes the noise generated from the discontinuous diode current and the PCB trace inductance that will add ringing at the SW node and filter through to VOUT. This is especially important in VOUT mode when designing for a stable output voltage. 3. COUT should be located on the top layer to minimize the trace lengths between the diode and PGND. Connect the positive terminal of the output capacitor (COUT+) as close as possible to the cathode of the diode. Connect the negative terminal of the output capacitor (COUT-) as close as possible to the PGND pin on the LM3528. This minimizes the inductance in series with the output capacitor and reduces the noise present at VOUT and at the PGND connection. This is important due to the large di/dt into and out of COUT. The returns for both CIN and COUT should terminate directly to the PGND pin.

Connect the inductor on the top layer close to the SW pin. There should be a low impedance connection from the inductor to SW due to the large DC inductor current, and at the same time the area occupied by the SW node should be small so as to reduce the capacitive coupling of the high dV/dt present at SW that can couple into nearby traces. 5. , Route the traces for RSET and the feedback divider away from the SW node to minimize the capacitance between these nodes that can couple the high dV/dt present at SW into them. Furthermore, the feedback divider and RSETshould have dedicated returns that terminate directly to the PGND pin of the device. This will minimize any shared current with COUT or CIN that can lead to instability. Avoide routing the SUB/FB node close to other traces that can see high dV/dt such as the I2C pins. The capacitive coupling on the PCB between FB and these nodes can disturb the output voltage and cause large voltage spikes at VOUT. 6. Do not connect any external capacitance to the SET pin. 7. Refer to the LM3528 Evaluation Board as a guide for proper layout. 28 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2008–2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM3528 LM3528 www.ti.com SNVS513B – AUGUST 2008 – REVISED MAY 2013 REVISION HISTORY Changes from Revision A (May 2013) to Revision B • Page Changed layout of National Data Sheet to TI format .......................................................................................................... 28 Submit Documentation Feedback Copyright © 2008–2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Product Folder Links: LM3528 29 PACKAGE OPTION ADDENDUM www.ti.com 2-May-2013 PACKAGING INFORMATION Orderable Device Status (1) Package Type Package Pins Package Drawing Qty Eco Plan Lead/Ball Finish (2) MSL Peak Temp Op Temp (°C) Top-Side Markings (3) (4) LM3528TME/NOPB ACTIVE DSBGA YFQ 12 250 Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) SNAGCU Level-1-260C-UNLIM -40 to 85 SE LM3528TMX/NOPB ACTIVE DSBGA YFQ 12 3000 Green (RoHS & no Sb/Br) SNAGCU Level-1-260C-UNLIM -40 to 85 SE (1) The marketing status values are defined as follows: ACTIVE: Product device recommended for new designs.
