ACT6330 Rev0, 02-Apr-08 WLED BIAS DC/DC CONVERTER (REG1) FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION Inductor Selection General Description REG1 has been designed to provide excellent performance across a wide range of applications, allowing a design to be optimized for both a small footprint as well as for achieving the highest possible efficiency. REG1 was designed for operation with inductor in the 10µH to 22µH range, in order to achieve a small footprint , although larger inductor values of up to 68µH can be used in order to optimize a design to achieve the highest possible efficiency. REG1 is highly efficient step-up DC/DC converter that employs a fixed frequency, current-mode, PWM architecture. This regulator is optimized for white-LED bias applications consisting of up to six white-LEDs. Over-Voltage Protection REG1 features internal over-voltage protection (OVP) circuitry which protects the system from LED open-circuit fault conditions. The ACT6330’s OVP threshold is set at 22V, and if necessary, regulates the voltage at the top of the LED string to ensure that it never exceeds this voltage. REG1 requires a 10kΩ resistor connected from output capacitor to OVP1 pin. Optimizing for Smallest Footprint REG1 is capable of operating with very low inductor values in order to achieve the smallest possible footprint . When solution size is of primary concern, best results are achieved when an inductance value that ensures discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) operation over the full load current range is used. Thermal Shutdown Protection Optimizing for Highest Efficiency The ACT6330 integrates thermal shutdown protection circuitry to prevent damage resulting from excessive thermal stress, as may be encountered under fault conditions. This circuitry disables all regulators if the ACT6330 die temperature exceeds 160°C, and prevents the regulators from being enabled until the IC temperature drops by 20°C (typ). REG1 achieves excellent efficiency in applications that demand the longest possible battery life. When efficiency is the primary design consideration, best results are achieved when an inductance value that both results in continuous conduction mode (CCM) operation and achieves a very small inductor ripple current is chosen. Enabling and Disabling REG1 Output Capacitor Selection REG1 is enabled or disabled using ON1. Drive ON1 to a logic-high to enable REG1. Drive ON1 to a logic-low to disable REG1, reducing supply current to less than 1µA. As with all non-synchronous stepup DC/DC converter, REG1’s application circuit procedures a DC current path between the input and the output in shutdown mode. Although the forward drop of the WLEDs makes this leakage current very small in most applications, it is important to consider the effect that this may have in your application particularly when using fewer than three WLEDs. REG1 is designed to operate with output capacitors ranging from 1µF to 10µF, providing design flexibility. A 1µF output capacitor is suitable for most applications, although larger output capacitors may be used to minimize output voltage ripple, if needed. Ceramic capacitors are recommended for most applications. Rectifier Selection REG1 requires a Shottky diode to rectify the inductor current. Select a low forward voltage drop Shottky diode with a forward current (IF) rating that is sufficient to support the maximum switch current and a sufficient peak repetitive reverse voltage (VRRM) to support the output voltage. Compensation and Stability REG1 utilizes current-mode control and an internal compensation network to optimize transient performance, ease compensation, and improve stability over a wide range of operating conditions. REG1 is a flexible regulator, and with just a simple component, choice can be optimized to achieve minimum total solution size in applications that require the smallest possible footprint, or can be optimized to achieve the highest possible efficiency.

ACT6330 Rev0, 02-Apr-08 WLED BIAS DC/DC CONVERTER (REG1) Setting the LED Bias Current The LED bias current is set by a resistor connected from FB1 and ground, and regulator is satisfied when the LED current is sufficient to generate 250mV across this resistor. Once the bias current is programmed, the LED current can be adjusted using the ACT6330’s Direct-PWM feature. REG1 is also compatible with a variety of well-know LED dimming circuit, such as with a DC control voltage and a filtered PWM signal. Board Layout Typical for all switching power supplies, the layout is an important step in design, especially at high peak current and switching frequencies, please refer to PCB Layout Consideration for more information.

ACT6330-006 REG2 is a highly efficient step-up DC/DC converter that employs a fixed frequency, current-mode, PWM architecture. This regulator is optimized for use in a wide range of applications including generation constant voltage of up to 20V. nent, choice can be optimized to achieve minimum total solution size in applications that require the smallest possible footprint, or can be optimized to achieve the highest possible efficiency. CH2 Enabling and Disabling REG2 REG2 is enabled or disabled using ON2. Drive ON2 to a logic-high to enable REG2. Drive ON2 to a logic-low to disable REG2, reducing supply current to less than 1µA. As with all non-synchronous stepup DC/DC converter, REG2’s application circuit procedures a DC current path between the input and the output in shutdown mode. It is important to consider the effect that this may have in your application. Soft-start REG2 includes soft-start circuitry. When enabled, the output voltage of REG2 tracks an internal 80µs soft-start ramp. As seen in Figure 1 and Figure 2, the output tracks the internal soft-start ramp and powers up in a monotonic maner that is independent of loading. This circuitry ensures that the output powers up in a controlled maner, greatly simplifying power turn-on design considerations.

Innovative PowerTM ActivePMUTM is a trademark of Active-Semi. PCB Layout Considerations High switching frequencies and large peak currents make PC board layout a very important part of the design. Good design minimizes excessive EMI on the feedback paths and voltage gradients in the ground plane, both of which can result in instability or regulation errors. Step-up DC/DCs exhibit continuous input current, so there is some amount of flexibility in placing vias in the input capacitor circuit. The input capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the input pin for good input voltage filtering. The inductor, input filter capacitor, rectifier, and output filter capacitor should be connected as close together as possible, with short, direct, and wide traces. Avoid using vias in the high-current path. If vias are unavoidable , use many vias in parallel to reduce resistance and inductance. Place all feedback voltage-divider resistor as close as possible to their respective feedback pins. Connect the ground nodes together in a star configuration, with a direct connection to the exposed pad. Route high-speed switching nodes away from the sensitive analog areas. Finally, the exposed pad should be directly connected to the backside ground plane using multiple vias to achieve low electrical and thermal resistance. Note that since the LED string is a low, DC-current path, it does not generally require special layout consideration. - 12 - www.active-semi.com Copyright © 2008 Active-Semi, Inc.
