tm FAN5611/FAN5612/FAN5613/FAN5614 Low-Dropout LED Drivers for White, Blue, or any Color LED Features Description ■ LED drivers for parallel-connected LEDs (2 to 4) The FAN5611/12/13/14 low-dropout product family is designed to drive two to four parallel LEDs, providing matched current source bias for all color LEDs. The LED current is set by an external resistor, RSET. The FAN5611/13 supports four parallel LEDs with up to 160mA bias current (up to 40mA per output). The FAN5612 supports three LEDs with up to 120mA bias current (40mA per output). The FAN5614 drives two high-current LEDs (80mA per output). Pin I1 should always be connected to an LED to provide a matched current for any additional LEDs. ■ Ultra-low voltage drop (< 300mV) to support direct Li-ion applications ■ No EMI, no switching noise ■ No external components needed for current matching ■ Both analog and PWM brightness control ■ FAN5611, FAN5613 feature up to 160mA bias current (up to 40mA for each LED) ■ FAN5612 features up to 120mA bias current (up to 40mA for each LED) ■ FAN5614 features up to 160mA bias current (up to 80mA for each LED) ■ Enable/Shutdown control (FAN5612, FAN5613, FAN5614) ■ Shutdown current < 1μA ■ Small footprint SC-70 and MLP The FAN5612/13 and 14 are selected using an ENABLE pin.

The ISET value is determined by the RSET value. The ISET value can be calculated as: VIN ISET = ILED / Current Gain VCONTROL Reference Figure 4, the ISET vs. VCTRL graph, to estimate VCTRL. The value of RSET is calculated according to the formula: I4 CTRL ENABLE I3 I2 I1 FAN5613 RSET RSET = (VCONTROL - VCTRL) / ISET ON/OFF GND For example, with VCONTROL = 3V, a 10mA current limit through the LED results in ISET = 50µA. That translates to an approximate value of 1.2V for VCTRL, shown in Figure 4. The resulting RSET value that maintains 10mA regulation is 36kΩ. – – – – The LED intensity can be adjusted by varying the duty cycle of a square wave applied to the enable pin. Frequency greater than 100Hz is best to avoid a "flickering" effect. The maximum operation frequency is 10MHz. VDROP < 0.3V VF (at 20mA) < 3.1V (Low VF) VIN (at 20mA) =VDROP + VF = 3.4V VIN (at 5mA Typical) ~ 3.1V where VIN = Single cell Li-ion voltage. Key advantages: • No boost circuit is needed for the LCD or keyboard backlight. Efficiency Considerations The FAN561X driver’s low-dropout architecture can significantly improve the efficiency compared to using simple ballast resistors. The system efficiency, defined as the ratio between the LEDs’ power and the input supplied power, can be calculated as: • Drivers are directly connected to a Li-ion battery. • No EMI, no switching noise, no boost efficiency lost, no capacitor, and no inductor. Example 2: Drive high VF white or blue LEDs from existing bus from 4.0V to 5.5V High VF white or blue LEDs have forward voltage drop in the range of 3.2V to 4.0V. Driving these LEDs with the maximum current of 20mA for maximum brightness, usually requires a boost circuit for a single cell Li-ion voltage range. In some cases, there is already a voltage bus in the system, which can be utilized. Due to the ultralow voltage drop of the FAN561X series of LED drivers to drive high-VF white or blue LEDs, the VIN needs to be only 300mV higher than the highest VF in the circuit. Efficiency = ( V IN – V CATHODE ) ⁄ V IN The lower the VCATHODE, the higher the system efficiency. Efficiency can be further improved by using a higher VIN with more LEDs, as shown in Example 3. Application Notes The ultra-low voltage drop across the FAN561X series of LED drivers allows the devices to drive white, blue, and other color LEDs in a wide range of input voltages. The driver can be used in many applications. Although only the FAN5613 is shown in all three examples, any of the FAN561X-series LED drivers can be used in the applications presented, due to their similar operation. – – – – Example 1: Drive low VF white or blue LEDs directly from single cell Li-ion When using white or blue low VF LEDs, and utilizing the drivers low voltage drop, only 3.4V in VIN is needed for the full 20mA LED current. At 3.1V, there is 5mA typical current available for the LEDs. The single cell Li-ion is utilized in applications like cell phones or digital still cameras. In most cases, the Li-ion battery voltage level only goes down to 3.0V voltage level, not down to the full discharge level (2.7V) before requesting the charger. VDROP < 0.3V VF (at 20mA) < 3.3V to 4.0V (High VF) VIN (at 20mA) =VDROP + VF = 3.6V to 4.3V VIN (at 5mA Typical) ~ 3.3V where VIN = existing bus = 3.3V to 4.3V. Key advantages: • No boost circuit is needed for LCD or keyboard backlight. • Driver utilizes the existing bus. • Ultra-low voltage drop provides the full 20mA LED current at the lowest possible voltage level. © 2003 Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation FAN5611/FAN5612/FAN5613/FAN5614 Rev. 1.0.9 ISET www.fairchildsemi.com 8 FAN5611/FAN5612/FAN5613/FAN5614 Application Information – VDROP < 0.3V – VIN_MIN = N ¥ VF + VDROP – VIN _MAX = N ¥ VF + 5.5V where VIN = existing bus, boost voltage.
