Since each LED current source has its own self-regulating loop, precise current matching is maintained even if there is a substantial forward voltage spread among the LEDs. LED pre-selection therefore is not required. In order to minimize voltage drop, and maximize efficiency, the value of the internal current sense resistors connected in series with the LEDs is very low (10Ω). This is an important consideration for direct DC-driven white LEDs in battery-powered systems. Applications • • • • • • The LEDs’ current can be set to 0mA (OFF Mode), 7mA, 14mA, and 21mA with a built-in two-bit digital-to-analog converter. Customized current settings can also be used. When the control bits are set to zero, the internal circuitry is disabled and the quiescent current drops below 1µA. Both digital input lines (A, B) can be pulse-width-modulated (PWM). Using PWM, any value of average LED current can be obtained within the 1 to 20 mA range. The FAN5610 is available in an 8-lead 3X3 MLP package.

Digital Control with PWM 1. Digital Control A digital to analog converter selects the following modes of operation: OFF, 7mA, 14mA, 21mA per diode. In addition, by turning the "IN B" pin ON and OFF , the current can be modulated between 8 to 20mA to achieve any Iaverage value. A 0 1 0 Any pin can be modulated by a variable duty cycle (δ) pulse train. Care should be taken not to use too low frequency, otherwise a flickering effect can be seen.The minimum range is between 100Hz to 5KHz.

Proportionally select the duty cycle to achieve the desired value of typical LED current between 1mA to 20mA. Application Information As seen in the block diagram, the FAN5610 includes four independent current regulators able to maintain a programmable constant current through LEDs, regardless of their forward voltage. This is true over a wide range of input voltage starting from VF_max + 0.35V, where VF_max is the highest forward voltage among the LEDs driven by FAN5610. The independence of current (LED current changes less than 1%) with change in VIN and VF for VIN > VF (MAX) + 0.35V, is shown in the graph below. Current Regulation Performance 25 V F1 = 3.3 V LED Current (mA) 20 V IN > V F ( M A X) + 0.3 5V 15 10 V F2 =3 .6V 3.0 3.5 4.0 For white LEDs the spectral composition is optimal at a current level specified by the manufacturer. The DAC inputs should be programmed to set the current required to achieve white LED spectrum and PWM used for dimming. To maintain the "purest" white, the current through the LEDs should be switched between zero and a specified current level (usually around 20mA) corresponding to the white light chromaticity coordinate. Conversion errors are minimized and the best LED to LED matching is achieved over the entire range of average current settings, when PWM brightness control is used to modulate the LED current between zero and the maximum value (A=1, B=1). 5 0 2.5 Program the LED’s brightness by applying a continuous voltage level or a PWM signal at the inputs of the built-in digital to analog converter (DAC). When a PWM signal is utilized to drive the DAC inputs, the current through the LEDs is switched between two levels with the PWM signal frequency. Consequently, the average current changes with the duty cycle. The LED current waveform tracks the PWM signal, so the LEDs brightness depends on the duty cycle. 4.5 5.0 5.5 Input Voltage (V) REV. 1.0.2 10/28/03 7 FAN5610 PRODUCT SPECIFICATION Application Examples: 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 driver’s low voltage drop, only 3.45V in VIN is needed for the full 20mA LED current. Usually at 3.1V, there is still 5mA current available for the LEDs. The single cell Li-ion is utilized in most 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, and not down to the full discharge level (2.7V) before requesting the charger. – VDROP ~ 0.35V – VF (at 20mA) = 3.3V to 4.0V (High VF) – VIN(at 20mA) ≥ VDROP + VF = 4.35V(max) Where VIN = Existing bus = 5V VIN(System Bus) D4 VIN Microprocessor I/O VIN(Li-Ion) D4 D3 D2 FAN5610 IN B GND Micro-Controller – – – – IN B D2 D1 FAN5610 GND D1 VIN IN A IN A D3 Key advantages: • No boost circuit needed for LCD or keyboard backlight • Driver utilizes the existing bus • Low voltage drop provides the full 20mA LED current at the lowest possible voltage level. VDROP ~ 0.35V VF (at 20mA) < 3.1V (Low VF) VIN (at 20mA) =VDROP + VF = 3.45V VIN (at 5mA Typical) ~ 3.1V Where VIN = Single cell Li-ion Voltage Key advantages: • No boost circuit needed for the LCD or keyboard backlight • Driver 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 3.3V to 4.0V. To drive 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 low voltage drop of the FAN5610, VIN needs to be only 350mV higher than the voltage VF of LEDs connected to FAN5610. 8 REV. 1.0.2 10/28/03 PRODUCT SPECIFICATION FAN5610 Mechanical Dimensions 3mmX3mm 8-Lead MLP Package 3.0 0.15 C 2.37 A 4 2X 1 B 1.99 1.42 3.30 3.0 (0.65) 5 0.15 C 2X 0.65 TYP 8 0.47 TYP TOP VIEW 1.0 MAX RECOMMENDED LAND PATTERN 0.10 C (0.20) 0.08 C 0.05 0.00 C SIDE VIEW SEATING PLANE 1 0.45 0.20 2.25 MAX 4 1.30 MAX. 5 8 0.65 1.95 0.25~0.35 Ø 0.10 M C A B Ø 0.05 M BOTTOM VIEW NOTES: A.
