SM8133B White LED Driver IC OVERVIEW The SM8133B is a charge pump type white LED driver. It can drive 1 to 6 backlight white LED connected in parallel and 1 flash white LED. The output voltage circuit has a 3.0V LDO (Low Dropout Regulator), making the device ideal for camera-equipped cellular phones. The charge pump switches between ×1 to ×1.5 boost mode in response to LED drive current requirements to extend battery life to the maximum. The boost switching occurs in response to the drive current of all the connected LED and thus supports variations in LED forward-bias voltage drop (VF). Each LED drive current is controlled by a 7-channel LED drive current control circuit. The 6 backlight channels can be subdivided into 2 groups, with each group having independent dimming and lighting control. The backlight grouping, backlight LED drive current and ON/OFF control, flash LED drive current and ON/OFF control, and LDO output ON/OFF control are all set by 3-wire serial interface data input. Also, the RESETB pin can be connected to the microcontroller supply for a system-wide shutdown function.

Input data on SDA is input MSB first in an 8 clock pulse cycle structure, with the first 4 cycles of data setting the mode and the next 4 the corresponding mode data. Data bits on SDA are read as received data on the rising edges of the SCK clock after EN goes HIGH. Only the leading 8 bits on SDA are read after EN goes HIGH and all subsequent input data bits are ignored, but the received data is reflected in SM8133B operation with timing almost simultaneous with the EN falling edge. Conversely, if less than 8 bits are input on SDA, the data is ignored to prevent incorrect operation. All registers are write-only, and their status cannot be read. After power is applied, an internal power-ON reset circuit initializes all registers to logic level LOW in standby mode. However, the possibility exists that there may be insufficient reset time, depending on the VIN input voltage rise time and fall time, so reset mode (0H or EH) should be expressly invoked after power is applied. There is no restriction in the input sequence when setting parameters. However, since the parameters are set in the same order as the data input sequence and the time taken from LED ON/OFF data input to LED dimming data input can exceed the soft start time, it is highly advisable to enter the LED dimming data first. The charge pump circuit, that supplies the LED drive voltage, starts whenever any parameter in address 5H (LED ON register) is set to 1, with the LED drive voltage output on VOUT. Conversely, when all parameters in address 5H are set to 0, all other parameter data settings input after reset are retained in standby mode. The serial interface pins EN, SDA, CSK, and RESETB are CMOS inputs, thus the input voltage on VIN must be a logic-level voltage and should not be left open circuit (floating).

SEIKO NPC CORPORATION —13 SM8133B LDO (Low Dropout Voltage Regulator) Operation is controlled using the LDO register (LSB in address “5H”). When the LDO register is set to 1, a regulated stable voltage is output from LDOUT. If the overcurrent protection circuit connected to LDOUT detects a continuous overcurrent condition for approximately 200µs, the LDO output stops and then restarts after a delay of approximately 1.4 seconds. At this point, if an overcurrent condition is detected again, the LDO output stops. If the overcurrent condition is detected a total of 12 successive times (approximately 16.8 seconds), the LDO load is deemed to be abnormal and the LDO output stops completely. The abnormal load condition is released only by selecting reset mode operation. Thermal Shutdown Circuit (Overheating Protection) The thermal shutdown circuit operates whenever the IC temperature exceeds approximately 180°C for whatever reason. VOUT output recommences when the IC temperature falls below approximately 160°C. RESETB Input (Internal Circuit Reset Signal) If the microcontroller, which drives the serial data inputs, stops, the SM8133B logic-level signal inputs are left floating and the SM8133B will most likely not transfer to standby mode normally. However, the RESETB pin can be connected to the microcontroller supply pin, so that the SM8133B is reset automatically whenever the voltage on RESETB drops. A pull-down resistor should be connected between RESETB and GND to avoid a floating RESETB input with voltage applied to the VIN pin. VOUT Output Circuit Mode Switching The SM8133B switches between 3 output states: power-save mode (standby state), ×1.0 mode (VIN through mode), and ×1.5 mode (×1.5 charge pump boost). This automatically adjusts the VOUT output to match the drive LED characteristics and reduces the total power dissipation. Switching to and from ×1.0 and ×1.5 mode occurs automatically in an internal circuit, and cannot be controlled using an external input. Switching to standby mode The internal circuit operating mode switches from ×1.0/×1.5 mode to standby mode when Reset resistor (mode data “0H”, “EH”) was input, suppressing current consumption. SEIKO NPC CORPORATION —14 SM8133B Switching from ×1.0 mode to ×1.5 mode If the LED drive current set by serial interface can be driven without boosting the VIN input voltage, the VOUT output operates in ×1.0 mode. In other words, if sufficient current flows even with the LED forward-direction voltage drop “VF”, then VOUT is less than 5.0V. Operation in the more efficient ×1.0 mode reduces the total power dissipation and extends the battery drive time. And if low “VF” LEDs are used or the LED drive current setting is LOW, the operating time in ×1.0 mode is also extended. 1.0 mode (high efficiency) 1.5 mode (low efficiency) 1.0 mode (high efficiency) 1.5 mode (low efficiency) High VF LED Low VF LED High VIN input Low VOUT mode switching time comparison due to drive LED “VF” variation If the VIN voltage falls or LED drive current set by serial interface increases such that the LED drive current is too low in ×1.0 mode, then the LED drive circuit low-current detector operates, the VOUT output is automatically switched to ×1.5 mode, and the charge pump boosts the output voltage. This occurs even if only one LED low-current condition is detected among the 7-channel LED drive circuits, thus it is recommended that LEDs have small “VF” variation to optimize the total efficiency. VIN input voltage 1.0 Low ILED detector 1.5 threshold (1) Low ILED detected VOUT mode (2) 1.0 mode 1.5 mode 5.0V VOUT output voltage (3) VIN voltage drop and VOUT output voltage (1) When VIN falls, VOUT cannot overcome the LED “VF” rating, causing insufficient current flows and the ILED low-current signal becomes active. (2) When the ILED low-current condition is detected, the VOUT output circuit switches to ×1.5 mode (charge pump mode). (3) Prior to switching to ×1.5 mode, the VOUT voltage may be lower than 5.0V but sufficient current is supplied to the LED. If after startup, the LED connected to a DIN pin is switched, the LED connection detector circuit flags an error, and correct mode switching may not occur. If the DIN pin does not control the LED drive current, the low-current detector does not operate and the device cannot switch to ×1.5 mode. SEIKO NPC CORPORATION —15 SM8133B Switching from ×1.5 mode to ×1.0 mode VF increases immediately after the LED current starts to flow, and then decreases as the LED temperature increases due to the heating effect of the current flow. It can take about 10 seconds for the LED temperature to stabilize and for VF to reach equilibrium, and VF may fluctuate more than 200mV. The VF fluctuation is affected by the ambient temperature and LED current setting, and has a large affect on the automatic mode switching voltage tolerances. To counter the effects of VF fluctuation, the SM8133B outputs a mode reset signal once every 1.4 seconds which automatically switches the output mode to ×1.0, and then a determination is made whether to make the ×1.0 → ×1.5 mode switch. 1.4sec/cycle (1) Mode reset (2) VOUT mode 1.5 mode Mode hold L: hold 1.0 mode min 80µs max 200µs (3) ILED detector ignore VOUT output voltage 5.0V (4) Low ILED detector (5) Switching from ×1.5 to ×1.0 mode due to the mode reset signal (1) Mode reset signal is output once every 1.4 seconds. (2) Switching from ×1.5 to ×1.0 mode due to the mode reset signal pulse. (3) The mode hold time of 200µs (max) starts when output switches to ×1.0 mode. During this interval, the mode is not switched even if an ILED undercurrent condition is detected. (4) If VIN is low, the VOUT voltage momentarily drops because the boost function stops as a result of switching to ×1.0 mode. (5) The ILED undercurrent signal is ignored during the mode hold time, and the mode only switches in response to the detector output after the mode hold time expires. SEIKO NPC CORPORATION —16 SM8133B For example, if the VIN voltage is low and the VOUT output voltage in ×1.0 mode does not provide sufficient drive current, then the mode reset will cause a LED undercurrent condition. The LED undercurrent detector circuit will output an LED undercurrent signal immediately after the switch to ×1.0 mode, but the output will stay in ×1.0 mode and not return to ×1.5 mode for the duration of the mode hold time. Consequently, the VOUT output is not boosted during the 85µs (min) to 200µs (max) mode hold time and the voltage drops and the LED brightness is reduced. However, the LEDs are OFF for a maximum of 200µs only, and this is not discernible to the naked eye and thus is not a problem. 1.0 1.5 threshold VIN input voltage Mode reset (1.4sec/cycle) Mode hold (H: hold) 1.4sec max 200µS VOUT mode (H: 1.5, L: 1.0) 5.0V VOUT output voltage Low ILED detector (H: low ILED) VOUT drop due to the mode reset single SEIKO NPC CORPORATION —17 SM8133B STARTUP SEQUENCE After power is applied to the SM8133B or when a reset input occurs (active-LOW input on RESETB or reset register mode setting), the internal power-ON reset circuit initializes all registers to their default value of 0. Consequently, all required data for LED drive operation must be input using the serial interface. The registers can be addressed in arbitrary sequence. Note that the registers are set in the same sequence as they are addressed. Example 1.

Set LED1 to LED6 to 30mA drive, temporarily turn OFF, turn ON again, and reset using RESETB input without group setting Input “2FH”(A group current setting 30mA) and “58H” (A group ON) from the serial interface. LED1 to LED6 turn ON after the soft start ends. While the LEDs are ON, input “50H” (A group OFF) to turn the LEDs OFF and transfer the SM8133B to standby mode. The internal register setting “2FH” (A group current setting 30mA) data is retained during standby mode, so you need to input “58H” (A group ON) only to turn the LEDs ON again. At this point, the charge pump soft start circuit operates again, taking a soft start time of approximately 1.3ms from when the data is input to when the LEDs turn ON. If RESETB is connected to the microcontroller power supply and the supply goes LOW, the SM8133B is reset, the LEDs turn OFF, and operation transfers to standby mode.

In circuits where the SM8133B logic-level inputs would become open circuit (floating) when the microcontroller supply stops, pull-down resistors should be connected to each logic-level signal input.

SEIKO NPC CORPORATION —20 SM8133B PERIPHERAL PARTS About the External Capacitors The best capacitors for use with the SM8133B are multi-layer ceramic capacitors. When selecting a multi-layer ceramic capacitor, only X5R and X7R dielectric types are strongly recommended, since the loss of capacitance in various conditions is less than other types such as Z5U and Y5V. The much loss of capacitance in various conditions may cause the output voltage unstable. Table. The EIA three digit "TC" code Lower temperature limit High temperature limit Maximum allowable capacitance change from + 25°C (0V DC) X = −55°C 5 = +85°C F = ± 7.5% Y = −30°C 6 = +105°C P = ± 10% Z = +10°C 7 = +125°C R = ± 15% 8 = +150°C S = ± 22% T = +22%/−33% U = +22%/−56% V = +22%/−82% For example : X5R About the Input Capacitor "C4" The parts layout of PCB may merely cause the “VOUT” output voltage unstable. In this case, increasing the “C4” input capacitance value or adding another capacitor on the VIN input line is effective to solve the unstable output voltage.
