It includes an internal power switch and Schottky diode for each driver. Both converters can be independently shut down and modulated. This highly integrated power solution is ideal for dual display electronic devices. The 2.3MHz step-up converter is designed to drive up to six white LEDs in series from a Li-Ion cell. The device features a unique high side LED current sense that enables the part to function as a “one-wire” current source—one side of the LED string can be returned to ground anywhere. Traditional LED drivers use a grounded resistor to sense LED current, requiring a 2-wire connection to the LED string. The PFM OLED driver is a low noise boost converter that features a novel control technique.* The converter controls power delivery by varying both the peak inductor current and switch off time. This technique results in low output voltage ripple, as well as, high efficiency over a wide load range. The off time of the switch is not allowed to exceed a fixed level, guaranteeing a switching frequency that stays above the audio band. , LT, LTC and LTM are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.

Operation can be best understood by referring to the Block Diagram. At power-up, the capacitor at the CAP1 pin is charged up to VIN (input supply voltage) through the inductor and the internal Schottky diode. If CTRL1 is pulled higher than 125mV, the bandgap reference, the start-up bias and the oscillator are turned on. At the start of each oscillator cycle, the power switch Q1 is turned on. A voltage proportional to the switch current is added to a stabilizing ramp and the resulting sum is fed into the positive terminal of the PWM comparator, A2. When this voltage exceeds the level at the negative input of A2, the PWM logic turns off the power switch. The level at the negative input of A2 is set by the error amplifier A1, and is simply an amplified version of the difference between the VCAP1 and VLED1 voltage and the bandgap reference. In this manner the error amplifier, A1, sets the correct peak current level in inductor L1 to keep the output in regulation. The CTRL1 pin is used to adjust the LED current. The LED Driver is shutdown when CTRL1 is pulled lower than 75mV. Minimum Output Current The LED Driver of the LT3498 can drive a 4-LED string at 2mA LED current, without pulse-skipping, using the same external components shown in the application circuit on the front page of this data sheet. As current is further reduced, the device will begin skipping pulses. This will result in some low frequency ripple, although the average LED current remains regulated down to zero. The photo in Figure 1 details circuit operation driving four white LEDs at 2mA load. Peak inductor current is less than 60mA and the regulator operates in discontinuous mode, meaning the inductor current reaches zero during the discharge phase. After the inductor current reaches zero, the SW1 pin exhibits ringing due to the LC tank circuit formed by the inductor in combination with the switch and the diode capacitance. This ringing is not harmful; far less spectral energy is contained in the ringing than in the switch transitions. IL 50mA/DIV VSW 10V/DIV VIN = 4.2V ILED = 2mA 4 LEDs 200ns/DIV 3498 F01 Figure 1. Switching Waveforms with Four White LEDs at 2mA Load 3498f 8 LT3498 OPERATION—OLED DRIVER The low noise boost of the LT3498 uses a novel control scheme to provide high efficiency over a wide range of output current. In addition, this technique keeps the switching frequency above the audio band over all load conditions. The operation of the part can be better understood by referring to the Block Diagram. The part senses the output voltage by monitoring the voltage on the FB2 pin. The user sets the desired output voltage by choosing the value of the external topside feedback resistor. The part incorporates a precision 182kΩ bottom-side feedback resistor. Assuming that output voltage adjustment is not used (CTRL2 pin is tied to 1.5V, or greater), the internal reference (VREF = 1.215V) sets the voltage to which FB2 will servo during regulation. The Switch Control block senses the output of the amplifier and adjusts the switching frequency, as well as other parameters to achieve regulation. During the start-up of the circuit, special precautions are taken to ensure that the inductor current remains under control. Because the switching frequency is never allowed to fall below approximately 50kHz, a minimum load must be present to prevent the output voltage from drifting too high. This minimum load is automatically generated within the part via the Shunt Control block. The level of this current is adaptable, removing itself when not needed to improve efficiency at higher load levels. The low-noise boost of the LT3498 also has an integrated Schottky diode and PMOS output disconnect switch. The PMOS switch is turned on when the part is enabled. When the part is in shutdown, the PMOS switch turns off, allowing the VOUT2 node to go to ground. This type of disconnect function is often required in power supplies. APPLICATIONS INFORMATION— LED DRIVER Inductor Selection 80 A 15µH inductor is recommended for most applications for the LED driver of the LT3498. Although small size and high efficiency are major concerns, the inductor should have low core losses at 2.3MHz and low DCR (copper wire resistance). Some small inductors in this category are listed in Table 1. The efficiency comparison of different inductors is shown in Figure 2. 75 Table 1: Recommended Inductors PART LQH32CN150K53 LQH2MCN150K02 LQH32CN100K53 LQH2MCN100K02 SD3110-150 1001AS-150M (TYPE D312C) D03314-153ML EFFICIENCY (%) 70 65 60 15uH Murata LQH32CN150K53 15uH Murata LQH2MCN150K02 15uH Cooper SD3110-150 15uH Toko D312C 15uH Coilcraft DO3314-153ML 55 50 45 L (µH) 15 15 10 10 15 MAX DCR (Ω) 0.58 1.6 0.3 1.2 0.764 CURRENT RATING (mA) 300 200 450 225 380 15 0.80 360 15 0.86 680 0 5 10 LED CURRENT (mA) VENDOR Murata www.murata.com Cooper www.cooperet.com Toko www.toko.com Coilcraft www.coilcraft.com 15 20 3498 F02 Figure 2.

When supply voltage is applied to the VIN pin, an inrush current flows through the inductor and Schottky diode and charges up the CAP1 voltage. The Schottky diode for the LED Driver of the LT3498 can sustain a maximum current of 1A. Overvoltage Protection The LED driver of the LT3498 has an internal open-circuit protection circuit. In the cases of output open circuit, when the LEDs are disconnected from the circuit or the LEDs fail open-circuit, VCAP1 is clamped at 27V (typ). The LED driver will then switch at a very low frequency to minimize input current. The VCAP1 and input current during output open-circuit are shown in the Typical Performance Characteristics.

The CTRL1 pin controls the sense reference voltage as shown in the Typical Performance Characteristics. For CTRL1 higher than 1.5V, the sense reference is 200mV, which results in full LED current. To have accurate LED current, precision resistors are preferred (1% is recommended).

Using a Filtered PWM Signal A filtered PWM signal can be used to control the brightness of the LED string. The PWM signal is filtered (Figure 4) by a RC network and fed to the CTRL1 pin. The corner frequency of R1, C1 should be much lower than the frequency of the PWM signal. R1 needs to be much smaller than the internal impedance of the CTRL1 pin which is 10MΩ (typ). Dimming Control There are three different types of dimming control circuits. The LED current can be set by modulating the CTRL1 pin with a DC voltage, a filtered PWM signal or directly with a PWM signal. PWM 10kHz TYP LT3498 R1 100kΩ CTRL1 C1 0.1µF 3498 F04 Using a DC Voltage For some applications, the preferred method of brightness control is a variable DC voltage to adjust the LED current. The CTRL1 pin voltage can be modulated to set the dimming of the LED string. As the voltage on the CTRL1 pin increases from 0V to 1.5V, the LED current increases from 0 to ILED. As the CTRL1 pin voltage increases beyond 1.5V, it has no effect on the LED current. Figure 4. Dimming Control Using a Filtered PWM Signal 3498f 11 LT3498 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION— LED DRIVER Direct PWM Dimming Changing the forward current flowing in the LEDs not only changes the intensity of the LEDs, it also changes the color. The chromaticity of the LEDs changes with the change in forward current. Many applications cannot tolerate any shift in the color of the LEDs. Controlling the intensity of the LEDs with a direct PWM signal allows dimming of the LEDs without changing the color. In addition, direct PWM dimming offers a wider dimming range to the user. Dimming the LEDs via a PWM signal essentially involves turning the LEDs on and off at the PWM frequency. The typical human eye has a limit of ~60 frames per second. By increasing the PWM frequency to ~80Hz or higher, the eye will interpret that the pulsed light source is continuously on. Additionally, by modulating the duty cycle (amount of “on-time”), the intensity of the LEDs can be controlled. The color of the LEDs remains unchanged in this scheme since the LED current value is either zero or a constant value. Figure 5 shows a Li-Ion powered driver for four white LEDs. Direct PWM dimming method requires an external NMOS tied between the cathode of the lowest LED in the string and ground as shown in Figure 5. A simple logic level Si2304 MOSFET can be used since its source is connected to ground. The PWM signal is applied to the CTRL1 pin of the LT3498 and the gate of the MOSFET. The PWM signal should traverse between 0V to 5V, to ensure proper turn-on and -off of the driver and the NMOS transistor Q1. When the PWM signal goes high, the LEDs are connected to ground and a current of ILED = 200mV / RSENSE1 flows through the LEDs. When the PWM signal goes low, the LEDs are disconnected and turn off. The MOSFET ensures that the LEDs quickly turn off without discharging the output capacitor which in turn allows the LEDs to turn on faster.

Li-Ion to Four White LEDs with Direct PWM Dimming 3498f 12 LT3498 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION— LED DRIVER The time it takes for the LED current to reach its programmed value sets the achievable dimming range for a given PWM frequency. For example, the settling time of the LED current in Figure 6 is approximately 40µs for a 3V input voltage. The achievable dimming range for this application and 100Hz PWM frequency can be determined using the following method. Example: f = 100Hz, t SETTLE = 40µ s 1 1 t PERIOD = = = 0 . 01s f 100 0 . 01s t = 250 : 1 Di m Range = PERIOD = t SETTLE 40µ s Min Du ty Cycle = 40 µ s t SETTLE • 100 = • 100 = 0 . 4 % t PERIOD 0 . 01s Duty Cycle Range = 100 % → 0 . 4 % at 100Hz The dimming range can be further extended by changing the amplitude of the PWM signal. The height of the PWM signal sets the commanded sense voltage across the sense resistor through the CTRL1 pin. In this manner both analog dimming and direct PWM dimming extend the dimming range for a given application. The color of the LEDs no longer remains constant because the forward current of the LED changes with the height of the CTRL1 signal. For the four LED application described above, the LEDs can be dimmed first, modulating the duty cycle of the PWM signal. Once the minimum duty cycle is reached, the height of the PWM signal can be decreased below 1.5V down to 125mV. The use of both techniques together allows the average LED current for the four LED application to be varied from 20mA down to less than 20µA. Figure 9 shows the application for dimming using both analog dimming and PWM dimming. A potentiometer must be added to ensure that the gate of the NMOS receives a logic-level signal, while the CTRL1 signal can be adjusted to lower amplitudes. VIN 3V TO 5V The calculations show that for a 100Hz signal the dimming range is 250:1. In addition, the minimum PWM duty cycle of 0.4% ensures that the LED current has enough time to settle to its final value. Figure 8 shows the dimming range achievable for three different frequencies with a settling time of 40µs.

Dimming Ratio vs Freqeuncy 3498f 13 LT3498 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION— OLED DRIVER Inductor Selection Capacitor Selection Several recommended inductors that work well with the OLED driver of the LT3498 are listed in Table 5, although there are many other manufacturers and devices that can be used. Consult each manufacturer for more detailed information and for their entire selection of related parts. Many different sizes and shapes are available. Use the equations and recommendations in the next few sections to find the correct inductance value for your design. The small size and low ESR of ceramic capacitors makes them suitable for most OLED Driver applications. X5R and X7R types are recommended because they retain their capacitance over wider voltage and temperature ranges than other types such as Y5V or Z5U. A 4.7µF input capacitor and a 10µF output capacitor are sufficient for most applications for the OLED Driver. Always use a capacitor with a sufficient voltage rating. Many capacitors rated at 10µF, particularly 0805 or 0603 case sizes, have greatly reduced capacitance when bias voltages are applied. Be sure to check actual capacitance at the desired output voltage. Generally a 1206 size capacitor will be adequate. A 0.47µF capacitor placed on the CAP node is recommended to filter the inductor current while the larger 10µF placed on the VOUT node will give excellent transient response and stability. Table 6 shows a list of several capacitor manufacturers. Consult the manufacturers for more detailed information and for their entire selection of related parts.

This value provides a good tradeoff in inductor size and system performance. Pick a standard inductor close to this value. A larger value can be used to slightly increase the available output current, but limit it to around twice the value calculated below, as too large of an inductance will decrease the output voltage ripple without providing much additional output current. A smaller value can be used (especially for systems with output voltages greater than 12V) to give a smaller physical size. Inductance can be calculated as: L = ( VOUT 2 − VIN(MIN) + 0 . 5V) • 0 . 66 (µ H) where VOUT2 is the desired output voltage and VIN(MIN) is the minimum input voltage. Generally, a 10µH or 15µH inductor is a good choice. Table 6.

This allows the user to select between using the built-in reference, and supplying an external reference voltage. The voltage at the CTRL2 pin can be adjusted while the chip is operating to alter the output voltage of the LT3498 for purposes such as display dimming or contrast adjustment. To use the internal 1.215V reference, the CTRL2 pin must be held higher than 1.5V. When the CTRL2 pin is held between 0V and 1.5V the OLED driver will regulate the output such that the FB2 pin voltage is nearly equal to the CTRL2 pin voltage. At CTRL2 voltages close to 1.215V, 3498f 14 LT3498 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION— OLED DRIVER a soft transition occurs between the CTRL2 pin and the internal reference. Figure 10 shows this behavior. 1.500 FB2 VOLTAGE (V) 1.250 1.000 0.750 0.500 Choosing a Feedback Node The single feedback resistor may be connected to the VOUT2 pin or to the CAP2 pin (see Figure 11). Regulating the VOUT2 pin eliminates the output offset resulting from the voltage drop across the output disconnect PMOS. Regulating the CAP2 pin does not compensate for the voltage drop across the output disconnect, resulting in an output voltage VOUT2 that is slightly lower than the voltage set by the resistor divider. Under most conditions, it is advised that the feedback resistor be tied to the VOUT2 pin. 0.250 Connecting the Load to the CAP2 Node 0 0 0.3 0.5 0.8 1.0 CTRL2 VOLTAGE (V) 1.3 1.5 3498 F10 Figure 10. CTRL2 to FB2 Transfer Curve To set the maximum output voltage, select the values of RFB2 according to the following equation: ⎛V ⎞ RFB2 = 182 • ⎜ OUT2 – 1⎟ , kΩ ⎝ 1.215 ⎠ When CTRL2 is used to override the internal reference, the output voltage can be lowered from the maximum value down to nearly the input voltage level. If the voltage source driving the CTRL2 pin is located at a distance to the LT3498, a small 0.1µF capacitor may be needed to bypass the pin locally. CAP1 SW1 VIN SW2 CAP2 VOUT2 LT3498 LED1 CTRL1 GND1 GND2 C2 The efficiency of the converter can be improved by connecting the load to the CAP2 pin instead of the VOUT2 pin. The power loss in the PMOS disconnect circuit is then made negligible. By connecting the feedback resistor to the VOUT2 pin, no quiescent current will be consumed in the feedback resistor string during shutdown since the PMOS transistor will be open (see Figure 12). The disadvantage of this method is that the CAP2 node cannot go to ground during shutdown, but will be limited to around a diode drop below VIN . Loads connected to the part should only sink current. Never force external power supplies onto the CAP2 or VOUT2 pins. The larger value output capacitor should be placed on the node to which the load is connected.

Feedback Connection Using the CAP2 Pin or the VOUT2 Pin 3498f 15 LT3498 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION— OLED DRIVER Maximum Output Load Current Step 4: Calculate the nominal output current: The maximum output current of a particular LT3498 circuit is a function of several circuit variables. The following method can be helpful in predicting the maximum load current for a given circuit: Step 1: Calculate the peak inductor current: IPK = ILIMIT + VIN • 400 • 10 –9 amps L where ILIMIT is 0.3A for the OLED driver. L is the inductance value in Henrys and VIN is the input voltage to the boost circuit. Step 2: Calculate the inductor ripple current: IRIPPLE = (VOUT2 + 1 – VIN) • 150 • 10 –9 L amps where VOUT2 is the desired output voltage. If the inductor ripple current is less then the peak current, then the circuit will only operate in discontinuous conduction mode. The inductor value should be increased so that IRIPPLE < IPK. An application circuit can be designed to operate only in discontinuous mode, but the output current capability will be reduced. Step 3: Calculate the average input current: IIN( AVG) = IPK – IRIPPLE amps 2 IOUT(NOM) = IIN( AVG) • VIN • 0.75 VOUT 2 amps Step 5: Derate output current: IOUT = IOUT(NOM) • 0.7 amps For low output voltages the output current capability will be increased. When using output disconnect (load current taken from VOUT2), these higher currents will cause the drop in the PMOS switch to be higher resulting in reduced output current capability than those predicted by the preceding equations. Inrush Current When VIN is stepped from ground to the operating voltage while the output capacitor is discharged, a higher level of inrush current will flow through the inductor and integrated Schottky diode into the output capacitor. Conditions that increase inrush current include a larger more abrupt voltage step at VIN, a larger output capacitor tied to the CAP2 pin, and an inductor with a low saturation current. While the internal diode is designed to handle such events, the inrush current should not be allowed to exceed 1A. For circuits that use output capacitor values within the recommended range and have input voltages of less than 5V, inrush current remains low, posing no hazard to the device. In cases where there are large steps at VIN (more than 5V) and/or a large capacitor is used at the CAP2 pin, inrush current should be measured to ensure safe operation. 3498f 16 LT3498 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION— LED AND OLED DRIVER Board Layout Considerations As with all switching regulators, careful attention must be paid to the PCB board layout and component placement. To prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI) problems, proper layout of high frequency switching paths is essential. Minimize the length and area of all traces connected to the switching node pins (SW1 and SW2). Keep the sense voltage pins (CAP1 and LED1) away from the switching LED1 node. The FB2 connection for the feedback resistor RFB2 should be tied directly from the VOUT2 pin to the FB2 pin and be kept as short as possible, ensuring a clean, noise-free connection. Place COUT1 and COUT2 next to the CAP1 and CAP2 pins respectively. Always use a ground plane ender the switching regulator to minimize interplane coupling. Recommended component placement is shown in Figure 13.
