S P6 6 8 6 400mA Buck/Boost Charge Pump LED Driver August 2009 Rev. 2.0.0 GENERAL DESCRIPTION APPLICATIONS The SP6686 is a current-regulated charge pump ideal for powering high brightness LEDs for camera flash applications. The charge pump can be set to regulate two current levels for FLASH and TORCH modes. The SP6686 automatically switches modes between step-up and step-down ensuring that LED current does not depend on the forward voltage. A low current sense reference voltage (50mV) allows the use of small 0603 current sensing resistors. The SP6686 is designed to operate from a single cell lithium-ion battery or fixed 3.3V or 5.0V power rails and is available in a RoHS compliant, “green”/halogen free space saving 10-pin 3mmx3mm DFN package • White LED Torch/Flash for Mobile Phones, DSCs and Camcorders • Generic Lighting/Flash/Strobe Applications • White LED Backlighting FEATURES • Output Current up to 400mA • Up to 94% Efficiency in Torch Mode • Adjustable FLASH Mode • x1 and x2 Automatic Modes for High Efficiency • Minimum External Components: No Inductors • 2.4MHz High Frequency Operation • 1μA Shutdown Current • Built-In Soft Start Limit Inrush Current • Output Overvoltage Protection • Over current/Temperature Protection • 10-pin 3mm x 3mm DFN Package TYPICAL APPLICATION DIAGRAM Fig. 1: SP6686 Application Diagram Exar Corporation 48720 Kato Road, Fremont CA 94538, USA www.exar.com Tel. +1 510 668-7000 – Fax. +1 510 668-7001 S P6 6 8 6 400mA Buck/Boost Charge Pump LED Driver ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS OPERATING RATINGS These are stress ratings only and functional operation of the device at these ratings or any other above those indicated in the operation sections of the specifications below is not implied.

The SP6686 has two modes of operation which are pin selectable for either Flash or Torch. Flash mode is usually used with a pulse of about 200 to 300 milliseconds to generate a high intensity Flash. Torch can be used continuously at a lower output current than Flash and is often used for several seconds in a digital still camera “movie” mode. When in Flash mode, (Flash = VIN), the FB regulation voltage is set by the resistor RSET connected between the RSET pin and SGND and the equation: The SP6686 also has two modes of operation to control the output current, the 1x mode and 2x mode. Operation begins after the enable pin EN receives a logic high, the bandgap reference wakes up after 200μsec, and then SP6686 goes through a soft-start mode designed to reduce inrush current. The SP6686 starts in the 1x mode, which acts like a linear regulator to control the output current by continuously monitoring the feedback pin FB. In 1x mode, if the SP6686 auto detects a dropout condition, which is when the FB pin is below the regulation point for more than 32 cycles of the internal clock, the SP6686 automatically switches to the 2x mode. The SP6686 remains in the 2x mode until one of four things happens: The output current is then set in either Flash or Torch mode by the equation: 1.26 Where 1.26V is the internal bandgap reference voltage and 11.2kΩ is an internal resistance used to scale the RSET current. Typical values of RSET are 40kΩ to 180kΩ for a range of VFB = 300mV to 75mV in Flash mode. OVER TEMPERATURE PROTECTION When the temperature of the SP6686 rises above 145°C, the over temperature protection circuitry turns off the output switches to prevent damage to the device. If the temperature drops back down below 135°C, the part automatically recovers and executes a soft start cycle. OVER VOLTAGE PROTECTION 1) The enable pin EN has been toggled The SP6686 has over voltage protection. If the output voltage rises above the 5.5V threshold, the over voltage protection shuts off all of the output switches to prevent the output voltage from rising further. When the output decreases below 5.5V, the device resumes normal operation 2) The Flash pin has changed from high to low 3) VIN is cycled 4) A thermal fault occurs The 2X mode is the charge pump mode where the output can be pumped as high as two times the input voltage, provided the output does not exceed the maximum voltage for the SP6686, which is internally limited to about 5.5V. In the 2x mode, as in the 1x mode, the output current is regulated by the voltage at the FB pin. OVER CURRENT PROTECTION The over current protection circuitry monitors the average current out of the VOUT=50mV (Torch Mode) pin. If the average output current exceeds approximately 1Amp, then the over current protection circuitry shuts off the output switches to protect the chip. In the Torch mode, (Flash = GND) the Flash pin is set to logic low and the SP6686 FB pin regulates to 50mV output: COMPONENT SELECTION The SP6686 charge pump circuit requires 3 capacitors: 4.7μF input, 1μF output and 50 © 2009 Exar Corporation 11.2 Ω 8/12 Rev. 2.0.0 S P6 6 8 6 400mA Buck/Boost Charge Pump LED Driver 0.47μF fly capacitor are typically recommended. For the input capacitor, a larger value of 10μF will help reduce input voltage ripple for applications sensitive to ripple on the battery voltage. All the capacitors should be ceramic to obtain low ESR, which improves bypassing on the input and output and improves output voltage drive by reducing output resistance. X5R or X7R Ceramic capacitors are recommended for most applications. A selection of recommended capacitors is included in Table 1. The input and output capacitors should be located as close to the VIN and VOUT pins as possible to obtain best bypassing, and the returns should be connected directly to the PGND pin or to the thermal pad ground located under the SP6686. The fly capacitor should be located as close to the C1 and C2 pins as possible. The sense resistor RSENSE is determined by the value needed in the Torch mode for the desired output current by the equation: Next, the RSET resistor can be selected for Flash mode using the following equation: 1.26 11.2 Ω For an example of 150mA Torch mode and 400mA Flash mode, the values RSENSE=0.33Ω, VFB=135mV (Flash Mode), and RSET=106kΩ are calculated. The power obtained in the Flash mode would be: 133 400 53 The typical 0603 surface mount resistor is rated at 1/10 Watt continuous power and 1/5 Watt pulsed power, more than enough for this application. For other applications, the PFLASH can be calculated from the resistor size selected. The RSENSE resistor is recommended to be size 0603 for most applications.
