■General description
ELM901FxA is a high current LED driver with internal automatic mode switch pump circuit of pass-through
mode (1x mode) and boost charge mode (2x mode) and constant current drive circuit; maximum output current
of ELM901 series can reach 1A. ELM901 series is ideally suited for high luminosity white LED electrical
applications which are powered by 1-cell lithium-ion/polymer battery. The required external parts of ELM901
series can be limited to the minimum of 3 capacitors and 3 programming resistors. With 4mm x 4mm & 3mm x
3mm QFN package, ELM901 series is possible to be assembled within limited space.
The sink current, which can be switched to 3 different kinds by enable signal during operation,of LED pin is
set by external programming resistors. For LED protection, it is possible to set high current lighting timer with
external resistor; the light will be turned off forcibly by timer (3 options among 0.2 sec. to 1 sec.).
Built-in soft-start circuitry makes ELM901 series be able to limit excessive power during start-up and switch
of 1x & 2x mode.

■Pin description
ISET2 : LED current setting 2
The pin that is for the connection of LED current setting resistor(Rset2) between ISET2-GND. The output
becomes 1.22V constantly when EN2 is high. The constant current of LED pin will be 3250x of the one
flows to ISET2.
(e.g.) when Rset2=6.8kΩ, Iled=1.22/6.8k×3250=583mA.
ISET1 : LED current setting 1
The pin that is for the connection of LED current setting resistor(Rset1) between ISET1-GND. The output
becomes 1.22V constantly when EN1 is high. The constant current of LED pin will be 3250x of the one
flows to ISET1.
(e.g.) when Rset1=20kΩ, Iled=1.22/20k×3250=198.3mA.
EN2 : on/off control 2
LED output current on/off control pin of set current of ISET2. This pin is pulled down to ground inside
the IC and the control logic is high active. The set current of ISET2 sinks from LED pin when this pin is
connected to VIN.
11 - 2
ELM901FxA
1A 2x Charge Pump LED Driver
EN1 : on/off control 1
LED output current on/off control pin of set current of ISET1. This pin is pulled down to ground inside
the IC and the control logic is high active. The set current of ISET1 sinks from LED pin when this pin is
connected to VIN.
AGND : internal analog circuit ground
This pin should be connected to GND of internal analog circuit and is connected in short circuit with internal
circuit on back pad. The connection to PGND1 & PGND2 is required and should be designed according to
the external wiring.
FS : fail safe setting
When EN1=EN2=1 continues for a period of time, fail safe function will turn down LED current forcibly.
This function aims for thermal protection of LED, and it is possible to be turned off. There are 3 timer
options according to the resistor connected between FS and GND since EN1=EN2=1 until LED current is
off: (1)1s when the resistor is short, (2)0.2s when the resistor is 20kΩ, and (3)0.5s when the resistor is 51kΩ.
This fail safe function becomes ineffective when it is short between FS and VIN or FS is open.
VIN : internal circuit power
This pin should be connected to the power pin of internal circuit. The connection to PVIN is required and
should be designed according to the external wiring; GND-connected ceramic capacitor( above 2.2μF) is
also necessary.
PGND1 : charge pump circuit ground
This pin should be connected to GND of charge pump circuit. The connection to AGND & PGND2 is
required and should be designed according to the external wiring.
CM : step-up capacitor connection( low potential)
This pin should be connected to the low potential of step-up capacitor. The wiring of step-up capacitor
should be connected between CM and CP as closely as possible; ELM recommends using 2.2μF capacitor.
PVIN : charge pump power
This pin is power supply of charge pump circuit. This pin should be connected to VIN according to the
external wiring.
CP : step-up capacitor connection( high potential)
This pin should be connected to the high potential of step-up capacitor. The wiring of step-up capacitor
should be connected between CM and CP as close as possible; ELM recommends using 2.2μF capacitor.
VO : step-up output
The output voltage is almost the same as VIN under 1x mode, while it becomes 5.5V under step-up mode.
This pin should be connected to LED anode.
PGND2 : LED current drive circuit ground
This pin should be connected to the GND of LED current drive circuit. The connection to AGND & PGND1
is required and should be designed according to the external wiring.

1A 2x Charge Pump LED Driver
■Operation
ELM901 is designed to drive high luminosity LED which is powered by 1 lithium-ion/polymer battery with
constant current. When the battery voltage is much higher than LED forward voltage, LED is lit by connecting
directly to the battery; output voltage is stepped up to 5.5V by internal charge pump circuit to light LED when
voltage drops. LED current is driven by the constant current circuit which is set by external programming resistors. With 2 types of LED current programming resistors, 3 current-driving options can be designed by different
combinations of enable circuit. ELM901A is capable of supplying output current up to 1A and thus able to provide high luminosity. To avoid LED burnout caused by longtime lighting by large current, the internal lighting
timer of ELM901A can shut down current forcibly. The timer only operates when maximum setting current is
on and can be set to 3 options-0.2s, 0.5s, 1s by external resistors connected to FS. This timer can be turned off
when it is short between FS and VIN or FS is open.
Operation right after power is supplied
ELM901 becomes standby operation when EN1=EN2=0 or open(standby); unde this operation, high
resistance PMOS switch between VIN and VO becomes ON. PMOS switch (=switch 4) between CP and
VO and NMOS switch (=switch 1) between CM and PGND1 also become on. Hence, output capacitor Co
and flying capacitor C1 are gradually charged through high resistance PMOS switch; it takes 5ms to fullcharge after the power is on. Rush current may happen when operation starts within 5ms after power is on.
Standby mode
In this mode, output capacitor Co and flying capacitor become fully charged, and through individual high
resistance PMOS switch, VIN is turned to be output mode. With maintenance of fully-charged mode during
standby situation, it is possible to avoid rush current when operation begins and lighten LED rapidly.
Start-up mode
During start-up, ELM901 detects VO short first; the low resistance switch between VIN-VO becomes on
and operates in 1x mode if short is not detected. When short is detected, Vo maintains the same condition as in standby mode, the output of LED also remains off while other internal circuits are operated normally. 1x mode is operated right after short is solved. It takes 30ms(typ.) from start-up to 1x mode output.
Vo=Vin under normal operation, and inrush current does not occur due to the charge of capacitor. When
abnormality (Vo>0.7V) such as short between VO and GND which is resulted from resistance of 10~1KΩ,
inrush current occurs due to the charge of capacitor. LED current becomes ON after 130μs(typ.) after starpup; it takes less than 100us since LED current becomes ON until the set current flows.
1x mode
When dropout of LED pin is detected under 1x mode, the operation switches to 2x mode automatically.
When LED current works under “low” current mode, the operation remains 1x mode for around 150ms
even if the dropout of LED pin is detected; if dropout is dissolved during this period of time, timer is reset
and 1x mode continues. When the operation is by “high” or “low+high” current, it becomes 2x mode after
2ms; if dropout is dissolved during this period of time, timer is reset and 1x mode continues. Dropout detection voltage is in proportion to Iled when it is above 240mA(typ.) and the voltage is regulated to 100mV
when Iled is small.

ELM901FxA
1A 2x Charge Pump LED Driver
Soft step-up
The operation becomes soft step-up by charge pump operation right after 2x mode starts. Rush current is
decreased by soft step-up which increases Vo straight. The current is controlled when Iled becomes 1/2 of
the setting during soft step-up. Iled is limited under 350mA(typ.) forcibly to avoid abrupt change of Iled
within 10us after step-up operation starts. Iled control current returns to the setting after step-up is finished.
2x mode
After switching to normal 2x mode, operation remains this mode until standby mode(EN1=EN2=GND)
starts. To work under 1x mode again, it is necessary to restart after switching to standby mode.
■Protection function
Thermal protection
When junction temperature becomes over 150°C, Vo output is turned to be OFF (only high resistance
PMOS switch is ON)thermal shutdown circuit and LED output is shut down by thermal shutdown circuit.
To shut down thermal protection, it is necessary to restart operation after returning to standby mode.
ISET1/ISET2 short protection
When EN1=0→1 during start-up, if Rset which is connected to ISET1 is under 3.9kΩ(setting current of
Iled is above 1A),LED current which is the same with[low] current is shut down. If ISET2 is under normal
operation under this situation, LED current which is the same with[high] current is flowed. When it is short
between ISET1 and GND under the operation that EN1=1, LED current limit is detected by 1.5A and shut
down without flowing to EN logic.
When EN2=0→1 during start-up, if Rset which is connected to ISET2 is under 3.9kΩ( setting current of
Iled is above 1A), LED current which is the same with[high] current is shut down. If ISET1 is under normal operation under this situation, LED current which is the same with[low] current is flowed. When it is
short between ISET2 and GND under the operation that EN2=1, LED current limit is detected by 1.5A and
shut down without flowing to EN logic.
LED current becomes 0 when [low]+[high]current reaches 1.5A under EN1=EN2=1 under the above-mentioned 2 situations.
VO short protection
When VO lowers to around 0.7V during operation, device shuts down the outputs of both Vo and LED; Vin
and Vo become connected by high resistance PMOS switch(standby output) under this situation. After VO
short is dissolved and Vo rises above 0.7V, outputs of Vo and LED restart. When VO short is detected under 2x mode, the operation switches to standby mode.
Fail safe function
Fail safe function refers to the function that the output of LED is turned to be OFF automatically when
“low+high” current(EN1=EN2=1) continues for certain period of time. To dissolve the function that LED
output is turned to be OFF forcibly, it is necessary to switch EN1=EN2=1 to other modes. 3 options are
available for FS time; FS time is set by external resistors (Rfs). This function can be turned off by setting
short between FS and VIN pins or FS to be open.
