Step-up DC-DC Converter for White LED Driver
The TB62731FUG is an LED driver that uses a high power
efficiency step-up DC-DC converter. The converter turns on/off 2
to 6 white LEDs in series.
The IC incorporates an N-channel MOSFET transistor used for
coil-switching and a function that reduces the LED current in
response to increase in temperature.
The mean LED current can be easily set using an external
resistor.
The IC is ideal as a driver for LED light sources used as liquid
crystal backlights for PDAs, cellular phones, and handy
terminals.

Application Circuit
The basic TB62731FUG circuit uses a step-up DC-DC converter and burst control of the current pulse.
Basic Operation
The internal MOS transistor (NMOS) is turned on at f OSC = 350 kHz, charging energy to the inductor.
The inductance current IL increases from 0. When IL = ILpeak = 240 mA (typ.) or when 5/6 (83.3%) of fOSC (=
350 kHz) is reached, the transistor is turned off.
At that time, the coil maintains IL = ILpeak, the Schottky diode is turned on, and IL = Ic2 flows. Then, Ic2
decreases, reaching IL = 0.
The above operation repeats. When Ic2 is fully charged, the surplus current becomes Io, which flows to the
LED.
The graph below shows details of the basic pulse used for burst control.
ILpeak = 240 mA (typ.)

Figure 3 Burst Control Waveforms
Burst Control
Burst control is control of the number of current pulses, shown in the graph on the previous page.
Control is repeated in desired cycles. The current pulse in the graph is the charged current on capacitor 2 (C2)
for output.
The current pulse is supplied to the LED as current discharged from the output-side capacitor. The current
pulse flows to GND via R_sens.
The waveform of the voltage charged on the output-side capacitor is fed back to the IC from pin K via C2.
The internal circuit which uses pin K for input controls the number of current pulses so that the mean voltage
value of the obtained voltage waveform is 36 mV. As a result, the output current is controlled as the constant
current (= mean current).
Connecting R_sens = 1.8 Ω obtains the mean current (36 mV ÷ 1.8 Ω = 20 mA).
Current is controlled by PFM (pulse frequency modulation) because the time when the output pulse is
generated varies (increases/decreases).
A prerequisite is that the input power from VIN is larger than the output power to the LED load. The
constant current is maintained by fixing a pulse stop time of 7.5~15 µs and increasing/decreasing the number of
current pulses. The number of current pulses is fewer when the input power exceeds the output power, larger
when the input power is less than the output power.
The burst frequency (pulse generation frequency) at controlled constant current is calculated as follows:
fburst [Hz] = (number of current pulses x (1/275~1/350 kHz) + pulse stop time (7.5~15 µs) . . . formula 1
The IC is designed to supply a load power of 320 mW (min).
Generally, a step-up inductance of 47 µH is used for optimum design for the load power of 320 mW. When the
load power is small, the inductance must be small.
Make sure the following condition for LED load between pins A and K is satisfied:
VIN (VCC) < LED Vf total
Note that, regardless of control by the IC, LEDs are always on.

TB62731FUG
Standby Operation
The SHDN pin is used to set normal or standby operation. When SHDN is set to Low, the operation is
standby; when the pin is High, the LED is turned on. Current consumption in Standby Mode is 1 µA (max).
Output-side capacitor setting
When the output-side capacitor (C2) = 0.1 µF, the peak current to be supplied to LEDs is expected to be the
set current +5~+8 mA.
When C2 = 0.01 µF, the peak current is expected to be the set current +20~30 mA; when C2 = 1 µF, it is the set
current +2~3 mA. Toshiba recommend C2 = 1 µF or more considering the LED max If.
The IC is used only for lighting LEDs. The IC does not finely control output current ripples. This is because
eliminating ripples is considered unnecessary as the LED emittance is recognized as the integral amount.
External inductance setting
The minimum external inductance is calculated as follows:
L (µH) = ((K × Po) − VIN min × Io) × (1/fOSC min) × 2 × (1/Ip min × Ip min) . . . formula 2
The above parameters are described below:
Po: output power (power required by LED load)
Po (W) = Vf LED × If LED + Vf schottky × If LED + R_sens × If LED × If LED
LED forward current: If LED (mA) = Set current: Io (mA), LED forward voltage: Vf LED (V),
schottky diode forward voltage: Vf schottky (V),
Setting resistance: R_sens (Ω)
VIN min (V): minimum input voltage (battery voltage)
If the input voltage includes a resistance component, take the voltage drop into consideration for the
minimum input voltage.
The input current IIN is roughly estimated as follows:
IIN (mA) = VfLED × Io × (1/η) × (1/VIN) . . . formula 3
When min VIN = 3.2 (V), VfLED = 16 (V), Io = 18 (mA), and η >
= 75 (%), then IIN = 0.12 (mA). As a result,
the voltage drops by 1.2 V due to the 1-Ω DC resistance component. Because the IC’s minimum VCC =
3.0 V, the minimum VIN is 3.12 V (VIN >
= 3.12 V).
Io (A): Mean current value set according to resistance R_sens (Ω)
fOSC (Hz): Switching frequency of internal MOS transistor
Specified values for fOSC (kHz): 275 min, 350 typ., 475 max
Ip (A): Peak current value supplied to external inductor
Specified values for Ip (A): 230 min, 240 typ., 270 max
K: Margin of output power K = 1.1~1.3
The ideal condition is to give 1.05 to 1.3 times the output power Po as the input power.
The loss of the IC is assumed to be included in the margin.
If K is too large, it may not be possible for the current characteristic to be the specified value. Note that
K > 1.

Substitute the following conditions in formula 2.
Supply voltage VIN = 3.0~4.3 (V)
Output-side capacitor C2 = 1 (µF) . . . C2 is ignored in the calculation.
Where it is assumed that,
VfLED = 16 (V), Vf schottky = 0.3 (V), R_sens = 1.8 (Ω), Io = 20 (mA), K = 1.1
VfLED: LED Vf
Vf schottky: schottky diode Vf
R_sens: setting resistance
Io: set current
K: margin
L (µH) = ((1.1 × 16 × 0.02) − 3 × 0.02) × (1/275e3) × 2 × (1/(0.21 × 0.21)) = 48.1 (µH, VIN = 3.0 V)
43.8 (µH, VIN = 4.3 V)
Thus, 48.1 (µH) is selected when the input voltage is low, 3.0 V.
Note that the calculation does not consider fluctuations in inductance. Toshiba recommend selection of an
inductance of 1.2 times the calculated value.
The recommended inductance under the above conditions is L (µH) = 48.1 (µH) × 1.2 >
= 57.7 (µH).

2004-09-14
TB62731FUG
Selection of R_sens
Resistance between pin K and GND R_sens (Ω) is used for setting output current Io. The mean output current Io
can be set according to the resistance.
The mean current Io (mA) to be set is roughly calculated as follows:
Io (mA) = 36 (mV) ÷ R_sens (Ω)
For example, when R_sens = 1.8 (Ω), Io = 20 (mA).
Take a current error of ±10% (not including R_sens error) into consideration.
The IC has a minimum output Po = 320 (mA, choke coil = 47 µH).
At that time, if the product of mean current Io and output voltage Vo exceeds Po = 320 (mW), mean current Io
may become less than the desired value.
If the IC is not connected to the output-side capacitor (for smoothing), the set current Io can be obtained.
At that time, because the current flowing to the LED is a pulse current with a maximum peak value of 270 mA,
make sure that surge current IFP (mA) does not flow to the LED.
Toshiba recommend use of components with low reactance (parasitic inductance) and minimized PCB wiring.
Toshiba also recommend allocating components in the application circuit diagram as near each other as possible.

Output Derating Function
Toshiba recommend derating the LED current depending on the increase in ambient temperature.
The TB62731FUG is designed to ensure safe and efficient driving of white LEDs used as backlight sources for color
LCDs. The IC incorporates a function that derates current according to the set temperature (the ambient
temperature when the IC is mounted), Ta.
The IC features an output current that varies according to the internally-detected temperature Tjs as follows:
when Tjs = 45 (°C), output current is 100%; when Tjs = 100 (°C), output current is 0%.
The derating start temperature Ts (°C) is determined based on Ta (Ta = Ts when the IC is not operating) by
subtracting the self-generated temperature Tup (°C) from Tjs = 45 (°C).
Ts (°C) = 45 (°C) − Tup (°C) . . . formula 4
The derating characteristic is as shown in the graph below, Figure 5, which shows the relation between output
current change ratio and internally-detected temperature (IC temperature) Tjs.
The self-generated temperature Tup (°C) is calculated as follows:
Tup (°C) = (P loss (W) − P parts (W)) × θja (°C/W) ) . . . formula 5
P loss: power loss
P parts: power loss of parts
θja: package saturation thermal resistance (Ω)
The parameters are described below:

Schottky diode forward voltage: Vf schottky (V)

RDC = 0.5 (Ω), Po = 320 (mW), IIN = 0.1 (mA), Io = 20 (mA), R_sens = 1.8 (Ω), Vf schottky = 0.3 (V), and η = 70

The self-generated temperature Tup (°C) is calculated as follows:
Tup (°C) = ((0.32 − (0.32 × 0.7)) − (0.5 × 0.1 + 0.3 × 0.02 + 1.8 × 0.02 × 0.02)) × 260 = 10.2 (°C)
Thus, the derating start temperature Ts (°C) is calculated as follows:
Ts (°C) = 45 (°C) − 10.4 (°C) = 34.8 (°C)
As a result, Io is controlled in the recommended current range as shown in Figure 5.
Output current change ratio (%) [%]
Since saturation thermal resistance θja = 260 (°C/W) is the maximum value, θja = 210~260 (°C/W) is used as a
mounting condition.
Depending on the IC characteristics, peripherals, and use environment, the derating start temperature
fluctuates among ICs.
