Small 20-Lead WQFN Package
RoHS Compliant and Halogen Free
The PWM output voltage loop selects and regulates the
LED pin with the highest voltage string to 0.9V allowing
voltage mismatches between LED strings. The RT8560
automatically detects and disconnects any unconnected
and/or broken strings during operation from PWM loop to
prevent VOUT from over voltage.
The 3% matched LED currents on all channels are simply
programmed with a resistor or a current sink. Both analog
dimming and digitally controlled PWM dimming are
supported by RT8560. Analog dimming is linearly
controlled by an external voltage. With an on-chip output
clampping amplifier and a 200kΩ resistor, PWM dimming
signal is easily low-pass filtered to an analog dimming
signal with one external capacitor for noise-free PWM
dimming. A very high contrast ratio true digital PWM
dimming can be achieved by driving EN pin to PWM
shutdown the chip or by driving ACTL pin.
Other protecting features include programmable PWM
output over voltage protection, LED curren limit, PWM
switch current limit and thermal shutdown. The RT8560
is packaged with a tiny footprint package of WQFN-20L
4x4 packages.

Soft-Start
The input operating voltage range of the RT8560 is 7V to
40V. An input capacitor at the VCC1 and VCC2 pin can
reduce ripple voltage. It is recommended to use a ceramic
10uF or larger capacitance as the input capacitor. This IC
provides an under voltage lockout (UVLO) function to
enhance the stability when startup. The UVLO threshold
of input rising voltage is around 6.2V.

Soft Start
The RT8560 employs a soft start feature to limit the inrush
current. The soft-start circuit prevents the excessive inrush
current and input voltage droop. The soft-start time is
determined by capacitor CSS connected to SS with a 7uA
constant current to charge CSS. The value of capacitor
CSS is user-defined to satisfy designer' requirement.

The RT8560 equips 4 channel LED divers and each channel
supports up to 15 LEDs. The 4 LED strings are connected
from VOUT to pin 15, 16, 17 and 18 respectively. If one of
the LED channel is not used, the LED pin should be
opened directly.
Setting and Regulation of LED current
The LED current can be calculated by the following
equation :

Over Voltage Protection
VRISET is the voltage of the RISET pin (1.21V typ.) and the
RISET is the resister between RISET pin and GND.
The RT8560 equips over voltage protection (OVP) function.
When the voltage at OVP pin reaches a threshold of
approximately 2.5V, the MOSFET drive output (SW) will
turn “OFF”. The MOSFET drive output (SW) will turn
“ON” again once the voltage at OVP drops below the
threshold of approximately 2.5V.
This setting is the reference for the LED current at LED14 and represents the sensed LED current for each string.
The DC/DC converter regulates the LED current according
to the setting.
So, the output voltage can be clamped at a certain voltage
level and it can be calculated by the following equation :
Brightness Control
The RT8560 features both analog and digital dimming
control. Analog dimming is linearly controlled by an
external voltage (0.3V < VACTL < 1.2V). With an on-chip
output clamping amplifier and a 200kΩ resistor, PWM
dimming signal is easily low-pass filtered to an analog
dimming signal with one external capacitor for noise-free
PWM dimming. A very high contrast ratio true digital PWM
dimming can be achieved by driving ACTL pin with a PWM
signal and suggest PWM frequency is from 200Hz to
10kHz. Refer to Figure 8, the minimum dimming duty can
be as low as 1% for the frequency range from 100Hz to
300Hz. For the dimming frequency from 300Hz to 1kHz,
the duty is about 5%. If the frequency is increased to
1kHz to 30kHz, the duty will be about 10%.

Where,

If at least one string is in normal operation, the controller
will automatically ignore the open strings and continue to
regulate the current for the string(s) in normal operation.
Current-limit Protection
The RT8560 can limit the peak current to achieve over
current protection. The RT8560 senses the inductor
current of on period that flows through SW pin. The duty
cycle depend on current signal and internal slope
compensation compared with error signal. The internal
N-MOSFET will be turned off when the current signal is
large than internal slope compensation. In the off period,
the inductor current will be descended until the internal
N-MOSFET is on by the oscillator.

Over Temperature Protection
The RT8560 has over temperature protection (OTP)
function to prevent the excessive power dissipation from
overheating. OTP will shut down the IC while junction
temperature exceeds 150°C. Main converter starts
switching once the junction temperature is cooled
approximately 20°C.
Inductor Selection
The value of the output inductor (L), where the transition
from discontinuous to continuous mode occurs is
approximated by the following equation :

Layout Guideline
VOUT = maximum output voltage.
PCB layout is very important for designing power switching
converter circuits. Some recommended layout guides that
should be strictly be followed are shown as follows :
The power components L, D, CVIN, COUT1 and COUT2
must be placed as close as possible to reduce the ac
current loop. The PCB trace between power components
must be as short and wide as possible due to large
current stream flows through these traces during
operation.
The boost converter operates in discontinuous mode over
the entire input voltage range when the L1 inductor value
is less than this value L. With an inductance greater than
L, the converter operates in continuous mode at the
minimum input voltage and may be discontinuous at higher
voltages.
`
Place L and D connected to SW pin as close as possible.
The trace should be short and wide as possible.
The inductor must be selected with a saturated current
rating that is greater than the peak current provided by
the following equation :
IPEAK = VOUT × IOUT + VIN × T ⎛⎜ VOUT − VIN ⎞⎟
η × VIN
2 × L × ⎝ VOUT
⎠
`
It is recommended to place CVcc1 and CVcc2 close to
VCC1 and VCC2 pins.
`
Pin14 is the compensation point to adjust system
stability. Place the compensation components to pin14
as close as possible, no matter the compensation is
RC or capacitance.
Where,
η is the efficiency of the power converter.

Schottky diode is a good choice for an asynchronous
Boost converter due to the small forward voltage. However,
power dissipation, reverse voltage rating and pulsating peak
current are the important parameters for Schottky diode
selection. Choose a suitable diode whose reverse voltage
rating is greater than the maximum output voltage.

Capacitor Selection
The input capacitor reduces current spikes from the input
supply and minimizes noise injection to the converter. For
most applications, a 10uF ceramic capacitor is sufficient.
A value higher or lower may be used depending on the
noise level from the input supply and the input current to
the converter.

value of the output capacitor COUT is approximately given
by the following equation :
