The TPS61150/1 is a high frequency boost converter
with two regulated current outputs for driving
WLEDs. Each current output can be individually
programmed through external resistors. There is
dedicated selection pin for each output, so the two
outputs can be turned on separately or
simultaneously. The output current can be reduced
by a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal on the
select pins or an analog voltage on the ISET pin,
resulting in PWM dimming of the WLEDs. The boost
regulator runs at 1.2 MHz fixed switching frequency
to reduce output ripple and avoid audible noises
associated with PFM control.
The two current outputs are ideal for driving WLED
backlight for the sub and main displays in clam shell
phones. The two outputs can also be used for driving
display and keypad backlights. When used together,
the two outputs can drive up to 14 WLED for one
large display.

SLVS625A – FEBRUARY 2006 – REVISED MARCH 2007
DETAILED DESCRIPTION
CURRENT REGULATION
The TPS61150/1 uses a single boost regulator to drive 2 WLED strings whose current can be programmed
independently. The boost converter adopts PWM control which is ideal for high output current and low output
ripple noises. The feedback loop regulates the IFB pin to a threshold voltage (330 mV typical), giving the current
sink circuit just enough headroom to operate.
The regulation current is set by the resistor on the Iset pin based on
V
I O + ISET KISET
RSET
(1)
where
Io = output current
VISET = Iset pin voltage (1.229 V typical)
RSET = Iset pin resistor value
KISET = current multiplier (900 typical)
When both outputs are enabled, the boost converter regulates to the IFB pin that demands higher Iout pin
voltage, V(IOUT), and let the other IFB pin rise above its regulation voltage. The feedback path dynamically
switches to the other IFB pin if its voltage drops more than the IFB low hysterisis (60 mV typical) below its
regulation voltage. This ensures proper current regulation for both outputs. When both IFB voltages are low,
IFB1 is used for regulation. Once IFB1 reaches its regulation voltage, the feedback path may hand over to IFB2
if it is still low, and the boost output will continue to rise.
The overall efficiency in this mode depends on the voltage different between the IFB1 and IFB2. A large
difference reduces the efficiency due to power losses across the current sink circuit. To improve the efficiency of
the both-on mode, the two current outputs can be turned on complimentarily by applying out of phase enable
signal to the SEL pins. The ISET pin resistors need to be recalculated to compensate for the reduced dc current.
START UP
During start up, both the boost converter and the current sink circuitry are trying to establish steady state
simultaneously. The current sink circuitry ramps up current in 16 steps, with each step taking 64 clock cycles.
This ensures that the current sink loop is slower than the boost converter response during startup. Therefore,
the boost converter output comes up slowly as current sink circuitry ramps up the current. This ensures smooth
start up and minimizes in-rush current.
OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION
To prevent the boost output run away as the result of WLED disconnection, there is an overvoltage protection
circuit which stops the boost converter from switching as soon as its output exceeds the OVP threshold. When
the voltage falls below the OVP threshold, the converter resumes switching.
The two OVP options offer the choices to prevent a 25 V rated output capacitor or the internal 30 V FET from
breaking down.
UNDERVOLTAGE LOCKOUT
An internal thermal shutdown circuit turns off the IC when the typical junction temperature of 160°C is exceeded.
The thermal shutdown has a hysteresis of typically 15°C.
THERMAL SHUTDOWN
An internal thermal shutdown turns off the IC when the typical junction temperature of 160°C is exceeded. The
thermal shutdown has a hysteresis of typically 15°C.

ENABLE
Pulling either the SEL1 or SEL2 pin low turns off the corresponding output. If both SEL1 and SEL2 are low for
more than 40 ms, the IC shuts down and consumes less than 1 µA current. The SEL pin can also be used for
PWM brightness dimming. To improve PWM dimming linearity, soft start is disabled if the time between falling
and rising edges of two adjacent SELx pulses is less than 40 ms. See APPLICATION INFORMATION for
details.
Each SEL input pin has an internal pull down resistor to disable the device when the pin is floating.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
MAXIMUM OUTPUT CURRENT
The over-current limit in a boost converter limits the maximum input current and thus maximum input power for a
given input voltage. Maximum output power is less than maximum input power due to power conversion losses.
Therefore, the current limit, input voltage, output voltage and efficiency can all change maximum current output.
Since current limit clamps peak inductor current, ripple has to be subtracted to derive maximum DC current. The
ripple current is a function of switching frequency, inductor value and duty cycle. The following equations take
into account of all the above factors for maximum output current calculation.

where
Iout_max = maximum output current of the boost converter
Ilim = overcurrent limit
η = efficiency
To keep a tight range of the overcurrent limit, The TPS61150/1 uses the Vin and Iout pin voltage to compensate
for the overcurrent limit variation caused by the slope compensation. However, the current threshold still has
residual dependency on the Vin and Iout voltage. Use Figure 1 and Figure 2 to identify the typical overcurrent
limit in your application, and use ±25% tolerance to account for temperature dependency and process variations.
The maximum output current can also be limited by the current capability of the current sink circuitry. It is
designed to provide maximum 35 mA current regardless of the current capability of the boost converter.
WLED BRIGHTNESS DIMMING
There are three ways to change the output current on the fly for WLED dimming. The first method parallels an
additional resistor with the ISET pin resistor as shown in Figure 13 . The switch (Q1) can change the ISET pin
resistance, and therefore modify the output current. This method is very simple, but can only provide limited
dimming steps.

APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued)
Alternatively, a PWM dimming signal at the SEL pin can modulate the output current by the duty cycle of the
signal. The logic high of the signal turns on the current sink circuit, while the logic low turns it off. This operation
creates an averaged DC output current proportional to the duty cycle of the PWM signal. The frequency of the
PWM signal has to be high enough to avoid flashing of the WLEDs. The soft start of the current sink circuit is
disabled during the PWM dimming to improve linearity.
The major concern of the PWM dimming is the creation of audible noises which can come from the inductor
and/or output capacitor of the boost converter. The audible noises on the output capacitor are created by the
presence of voltage ripple in range of audible frequencies. The TPS61150/1 alleviates the problem by
disconnecting the WLEDs from the output capacitor when the SEL pin is low. Therefore, the output capacitor is
not discharged by the WLEDs, which reduces the voltage ripple during PWM dimming.
The audible noises can be eliminated by using PWM dimming frequency above or below the audible frequency
range. The maximum PWM dimming frequency of the TPS61150/1 is determined by the current settling time
(Tisink) which is the time required for the circuit sink circuit to reach steady state after the SEL pin transitions from
low to high. The maximum dimming frequency can be calculated by

Dmin = min duty cycle of the PWM dimming required in the application.
For 20% Dmin, PWM dimming frequency up to 33 kHz is possible, making the noise frequency above the audible
range.
The third method uses an external DC voltage and resistor as shown in Figure 14 to change the ISET pin
current, and thus control the output current. The DC voltage can be the output of a filtered PWM signal. The

INDUCTOR SELECTION
Because the selection of the inductor affects the power supply steady state operation, transient behavior and
loop stability, the inductor is the most important component in power regulator design. There are three
specifications most important to the performance of the inductor, inductor value, dc resistance and saturation
current. Considering inductor value alone is not enough.
The inductor’s inductance value determines the inductor ripple current. It is generally recommended to set peak
to peak ripple current given by Equation 2 to 30–40% of dc current. It is a good compromise of power losses
and inductor size. For this reason, 10-µH inductors are recommended for TPS61150/1. Inductor dc current can
be calculated as

Use the maximum load current and minimum Vin for calculation.
The internal loop compensation for PWM control is optimized for the external component shown in the typical
application circuit with consideration of component tolerance. Inductor values can have ±20% tolerance with no
current bias. When the inductor current approaches saturation level, its inductance can decrease 20 to 35%
from the 0-A value depending on how the inductor vendor defines saturation. Using an inductor with a smaller
inductance value forces discontinuous PWM in which inductor current ramps down to zero before the end of
each switching cycle. It reduces the boost converter’s maximum output current, and causes large input voltage
ripple. An inductor with larger inductance will reduce the gain and phase margin of the feedback loop, possibly
resulting in instability
Regulator efficiency is dependent on the resistance of its high current path and switching losses associated with
the PWM switch and power diode. Although the TPS61150/1 has optimized the internal switches, the overall
efficiency still relies on inductor’s DC resistance (DCR); Lower DCR improves efficiency. However, there is a
trade off between DCR and inductor size, and shielded inductors typically have higher DCR than unshielded
ones. DCR in range of 150 mΩ to 350 mΩ is suitable for applications requiring both on mode. DCR is the range
of 250 mΩ to 450 mΩ is a good choice for single output application. Table 2 and Table 3 list recommended
inductor models.

INPUT AND OUTPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION
The output capacitor is mainly selected for the output ripple of the converter. This ripple voltage is the sum of the
ripple caused by the capacitor’s capacitance and its equivalent series resistance (ESR). Assuming a capacitor
with zero ESR, the minimum capacitance needed for a given ripple can be calculated by

For Vin = 3.6 V, Viout = 20 V, and Fs = 1.2 MHz, 0.1% ripple (20 mV) would require 1 µF capacitor. For this value,
ceramic capacitors are the best choice for its size, cost and availability.
The additional output ripple component caused by ESR is calculated using:
Vripple_ESR = Iout× RESR
Due to its low ESR, Vripple_ESR can be neglected for ceramic capacitors, but must be considered if tantalum or
electrolytic capacitors are used.
During a load transient, the capacitor at the output of the boost converter has to supply or absorb additional
current before the inductor current ramps up the steady state value. Larger capacitors always help to reduce the
voltage over and under shoot during a load transient. A larger capacitor also helps loop stability.
Care must be taken when evaluating a ceramic capacitor’s derating due to applied dc voltage, aging and
frequency response. For example, larger form factor capacitors (in 1206 size) have their self resonant
frequencies in the range of TPS61150/1’s switching frequency. So the effective capacitance is significantly
lower. Therefore, it may be necessary to use small capacitors in parallel instead of one large capacitor.

LAYOUT CONSIDERATION
As for all switching power supplies, especially those providing high current and using high switching frequencies,
layout is an important design step. If layout is not carefully done, the regulator could show instability as well as
EMI problems. Therefore, use wide and short traces for high current paths. The input capacitor needs not only to
be close to the Vin pin, but also to the GND pin in order to reduce the input ripple seen by the IC. The Vin and
SW pins are conveniently located on the edges of the IC; therefore, the inductor can be placed close to the IC.
The output capacitor needs to be placed near the load to minimize ripple and maximize transient performance.
It is also beneficial to have the ground of the output capacitor close to the GND pin since there will be large
ground return current flowing between them. When laying out signal ground, it is recommended to use short
traces separated from power ground traces, and connect them together at a single point.
