Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the component may occur. Operating Ratings are conditions under which operation of
the device is guaranteed. Operating Ratings do not imply guaranteed performance limits. For guaranteed performance limits and associated test conditions, see the
Electrical Characteristics tables.
Note 2: All voltages are with respect to the potential at the GND pins.
Note 3: Internal thermal shutdown circuitry protects the device from permanent damage. Thermal shutdown engages at TJ=150oC (typ.) and disengages at
TJ=130oC (typ.).
Note 4: For detailed soldering specifications and information, please refer to National Semiconductor Application Note AN1112 : Micro SMD Wafer Level Chip Scale
Package
Note 5: The Human body model is a 100pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5kΩ resistor into each pin. The machine model is a 200pF capacitor discharged
directly into each pin. MIL-STD-883 3015.7
Note 6: In applications where high power dissipation and/or poor package thermal resistance is present, the maximum ambient temperature may have to be
derated. Maximum ambient temperature (TA-MAX) is dependent on the maximum operating junction temperature (TJ-MAX-OP = 125oC), the maximum power
dissipation of the device in the application (PD-MAX), and the junction-to ambient thermal resistance of the part/package in the application (θJA), as given by the
following equation: TA-MAX = TJ-MAX-OP – (θJA x PD-MAX).
Note 7: Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is highly application and board-layout dependent. In applications where high maximum power dissipation exists,
special care must be paid to thermal dissipation issues in board design.
Note 8: Min and Max limits are guaranteed by design, test, or statistical analysis. Typical numbers are not guaranteed, but do represent the most likely norm.
Note 9: Low-ESR Surface-Mount Ceramic Capacitors (MLCCs) used in setting electrical characteristics.
Note 10: Boost output voltage set to 8V (08H in register 0DH) to prevent any unneccessary current consumption.
Note 11: No external loading allowed for VREF pin.

RESET:
In the RESET mode all the internal registers are reset to the default values. Reset is entered always if input
NRST is LOW or internal Power On Reset is active. Power On Reset (POR) will activate during the chip
startup or when the supply voltages VDD1 and VDD2 fall below 1.5V. Once VDD1 and VDD2 rises above 1.5V,
POR will inactivate and the chip will continue to the STANDBY mode. NSTBY control bit is low after POR
by default.
STANDBY:
The STANDBY mode is entered if the register bit NSTBY is LOW and Reset is not active. This is the low
power consumption mode, when all circuit functions are disabled. Registers can be written in this mode and
the control bits are effective immediately after start up.
STARTUP:
When NSTBY bit is written high, the INTERNAL STARTUP SEQUENCE powers up all the needed internal
blocks (VREF, Bias, Oscillator etc.). To ensure the correct oscillator initialization, a 10ms delay is generated
by the internal state-machine. If the chip temperature rises too high, the Thermal Shutdown (THSD)
disables the chip operation and STARTUP mode is entered until no thermal shutdown event is present.
BOOST STARTUP: Soft start for boost output is generated in the BOOST STARTUP mode. The boost output is raised in low
current PWM mode during the 20ms delay generated by the state-machine. All LED outputs are off during
the 20ms delay to ensure smooth startup. The Boost startup is entered from Internal Startup Sequence if
EN_BOOST is HIGH or from Normal mode when EN_BOOST is written HIGH.
NORMAL:
During NORMAL mode the user controls the chip using the Control Registers. The registers can be written
in any sequence and any number of bits can be altered in a register in one write.

Modes of Operation

fed to the inductor. An active load is used to remove the
excess charge from the output capacitor at very light loads.
Active load can be disabled with the EN_AUTOLOAD bit.
Disabling active load will increase slightly the efficiency at
light loads, but the downside is that pulse skipping will occur.
The Boost Converter should be stopped when there is no
load to minimise the current consumption.
Power-Up Sequence
When powering up the device, VDD1 and VDD2 should be
greater than VDDIO to prevent any damage to the device.
The topology of the magnetic boost converter is called CPM
control, current programmed mode, where the inductor current is measured and controlled with the feedback. The user
can program the output voltage of the boost converter. The
output voltage control changes the resistor divider in the
feedback loop. The following figure shows the boost topology with the protection circuitry. Four different protection
schemes are implemented:
1. Over voltage protection, limits the maximum output voltage
20175576
Magnetic Boost DC/DC Converter
The LP3958 Boost DC/DC Converter generates an 8…18V
supply voltage for the LEDs from single Li-Ion battery
(3V…4.5V). The output voltage is controlled with an 8-bit
register in 10 steps. The converter is a magnetic switching
PWM mode DC/DC converter with a current limit. Switching
frequency is 1MHz, when timing resistor RT is 82kΩ. Timing
resistor defines the internal oscillator frequency and thus
directly affects boost frequency and KEY timings.
EMI filter (RSW and CSW) on the SW pin can be used to
suppress EMI caused by fast switching. These components
should be as near as possible to the SW pin to ensure
reliable operation. The LP3958 Boost Converter uses pulseskipping elimination to stabilize the noise spectrum. Even
with light load or no load a minimum length current pulse is
— Keeps the output below breakdown voltage.
— Prevents boost operation if battery voltage is much
higher than desired output.
2. Over current protection, limits the maximum inductor
current
— Voltage over switching NMOS is monitored; too high
voltages turn the switch off.
3. Feedback break protection. Prevents uncontrolled operation if FB pin gets disconnected.
4. Duty cycle limiting, done with digital control.

PWM mode and then goes to normal PWM mode. All LED
outputs are off during the 20ms delay to ensure smooth
startup.

External PWM control
LP3958 has three individual keypad LED output pins. Output
pins can be used in switch mode or constant current mode.
Output mode can be selected with the control register (address 00H) bit CC_SW. If the bit is set high, then keypad
LED outputs are in switch mode, otherwise in constant current mode. These modes are described later in separate
chapters.
The LED balance can be selected as follows. This is valid
only in non-overlapping mode.
BRIGHTNESS CONTROL WITH KEYPAD REGISTER
If the keypad LED output is used by defining the balance and
brightness in the Keypad register, then one needs to set
EN_KEYP bit high and KEYP_PWM bit high in the Control
register (address 00H). K1SW, K2SW and K3SW are used
to enable each LED output, enabled when written high.
CC_SW defines the LED output mode. A single register is
used for defining the balance and brightness for keypad LED
output:

OVERLAPPING MODE
The brightness is controlled using PWM duty cycle based control method as the following figure shows.
20175597
Overlapping Mode
Since KEY outputs are on simuneltaneously, the maximum load peak current is:
IMAX = I(KEY1)MAX + I(KEY2)MAX + I(KEY3)MAX
NON-OVERLAPPING MODE
The timing diagram shows the splitted KEY1, KEY2 and KEY3 and brightness control effect to splitted parts. Full brightness is
used in the diagram. If for example 1⁄2 brightness is used, the frame is still 50µs, but all LED outputs’ ON time is 50% shorter and
at the last 25µs all LED outputs are OFF.

Functionality of Keypad LED Outputs (KEY1, KEY2, KEY3)
(Continued)
20175588
Non-overlapping Mode
The non-overlapping mode has 8-programmed balance ratios. Since the KEY1, KEY2 and KEY3 are split in to nonoverlapping slots the output current through the keypad LED
can be calculated by following equation:
IAVG=(CKEY1xIKEY1+CKEY2xIKEY2+CKEY3xIKEY3)xB
where
C = Balance [%] (see table of balance control earlier)
B = Brightness [%] (see table of Brightness Control)
Maximum current for each LED output is adjusted with the
Keypad max current register in following way:
LED ON/OFF CONTROL WITH KEYPAD CONTROL
REGISTER
Each LED output can be set ON by writing the corresponding
bit high in the control register. K1SW controls KEY1, K2SW
controls KEY2 and K3SW controls KEY3 output. Note that
EN_KEYP bit must be high and KEYP_PWM bit low. In this
mode, the KEYPAD register does not have any effect.
CC_SW bit in control register defines the LED output mode.
External ballast resistors are not needed in this mode. The
maximum current for all keypad LED drivers is set with RKEY.
The equation for calculating the maximum current is:
IMAX = 100 x 1.23V / (RKEY + 50 Ω)
where
IMAX = maximum KEY current in any KEY output (during
constant current mode)
1.23V = reference voltage
Switch Mode / Constant Current Mode
Each keypad LED output can be set to act as a switch or a
constant current sink. Selection of mode is done with the
CC_SW bit in the Control Register. If bit is set high, then the
switch mode is selected. Default is switch mode.
100 = internal current mirror multiplier
RKEY = resistor value in Ohms
50 Ω = Internal resistor in the IKEY input
Table with example resistance values and corresponding
output currents:
IK1[1:0], IK2[1:0], IK3[1:0] Maximum current / output
1. SWITCH MODE
In switch mode, the keypad LED outputs are low ohmic
switches to ground. Resistance is typically 3.5Ω. External
ballast resistors must be used to limit the current
through the LED.
2. CONSTANT CURRENT MODE
In constant current mode, the maximum output current is
defined with a single external resistor (RKEY) and the maximum current control register (address 02H).

Note that the LED output requires a minimum saturation
voltage in order to act as a true constant current sink. The
saturation voltage minimum is typically 100mV. If the LED
output voltage drops below 100mV, then the current will
decrease significantly.

Functionality of Keypad LED Outputs (KEY1, KEY2, KEY3)
(Continued)
External PWM Control
The GPIO[0]/PWM pin can be used to control the KEY
output. PWM function for the pin is selected by writing EN_PWM_PIN high in GPIO control register (address 06H).
Note, that EN_KEYP bit must be set high. Each LED output
can be enabled with K1SW, K2SW and K3SW bits.
EN_EXT_K1_PWM,
EN_EXT_K2_PWM
and
EN_EXT_K3_PWM bits are used to select, which LED outputs are controlled with the external PWM input. Note that
polarity of external PWM control is active high i.e. when high,
then LED output is enabled. If KEYP_PWM is set low, then
each selected LED output is controlled directly with external
PWM input. If KEYP_PWM is set high, then internal PWM
control is modulated by the external PWM input. In latter
case, internal PWM control is passed to LED when external
PWM input is high.

General Purpose I/O Functionality
GPIO DATA (07H)
LP3958 has three general purpose I/O pins: GPIO[0]/PWM,
GPIO[1] and GPIO[2]. GPIO[0]/PWM can also be used as a
PWM input for the external LED PWM controlling. GPIO
bi-directional drivers are operating from the VDDIO supply
domain.

Description
Data bits
GPIO control register is used to set the direction of each
GPIO pin. For example, by setting OEN0 bit high the
GPIO[0]/PWM pin acts as a logic output pin with data defined DATA0 in GPIO data register. Note, that the EN_PWM_PIN bit overrides OEN0 state by forcing GPIO[0]/PWM to
act as PWM input. GPIO[1] and GPIO[2] pins can be selected to be inputs or outputs, defined by OEN1 and OEN2
bit status. PWM functionality is valid only for GPIO[0]/PWM
pin. GPIO data register contains the data of GPIO pins.
When output direction is selected to GPIO pin, then GPIO
data register defines the output pin state. When GPIO data
register is read, it contains the state of the pin despite of the
pin direction.
Registers for GPIO are as follows:

I2C Compatible Interface
I2C SIGNALS
TRANSFERRING DATA
The SCL pin is used for the I2C clock and the SDA pin is
used for bidirectional data transfer. Both these signals need
a pull-up resistor according to I2C specification.
Every byte put on the SDA line must be eight bits long, with
the most significant bit (MSB) being transferred first. Each
byte of data has to be followed by an acknowledge bit. The
acknowledge related clock pulse is generated by the master.
The transmitter releases the SDA line (HIGH) during the
acknowledge clock pulse. The receiver must pull down the
SDA line during the 9th clock pulse, signifying an acknowledge. A receiver which has been addressed must generate
an acknowledge after each byte has been received.
After the START condition, the I2C master sends a chip
address. This address is seven bits long followed by an
eighth bit which is a data direction bit (R/W). The LP3958
address is 59H (101 1001b). For the eighth bit, a “0” indicates a WRITE and a “1” indicates a READ. This means that
the first byte is B2H for WRITE and B3H for READ. The
second byte selects the register to which the data will be
written. The third byte contains data to write to the selected
register.
I2C DATA VALIDITY
The data on SDA line must be stable during the HIGH period
of the clock signal (SCL). In other words, state of the data
line can only be changed when CLK is LOW.
20175549
I2C Signals: Data Validity
I2C START AND STOP CONDITIONS
START and STOP bits classify the beginning and the end of
the I2C session. START condition is defined as SDA signal
transitioning from HIGH to LOW while SCL line is HIGH.
STOP condition is defined as the SDA transitioning from
LOW to HIGH while SCL is HIGH. The I2C master always
generates START and STOP bits. The I2C bus is considered
to be busy after START condition and free after STOP condition. During data transmission, I2C master can generate
repeated START conditions. First START and repeated
START conditions are equivalent, function-wise.
20175551
I2C Chip Address
Register changes take an effect at the SCL rising edge
during the last ACK from slave.

When a READ function is to be accomplished, a WRITE function must precede the READ function, as shown in the Read
Cycle waveform.

Recommended External Components
rent (800mA) to ensure reliable operation. Schottky diodes
with a low forward drop and fast switching speeds are ideal
for increasing efficiency in portable applications. Choose a
reverse breakdown voltage of the schottky diode significantly larger (~30V) than the output voltage. Do not use
ordinary rectifier diodes, since slow switching speeds and
long recovery times cause the efficiency and the load regulation to suffer. Example of suitable diode is: Central Semiconductor CMMSH1-40.
OUTPUT CAPACITOR, COUT
The output capacitor COUT directly affects the magnitude of
the output ripple voltage. In general, the higher the value of
COUT, the lower the output ripple magnitude. Multilayer ceramic capacitors with low ESR are the best choice. At the
lighter loads, the low ESR ceramics offer a much lower VOUT
ripple that the higher ESR tantalums of the same value. At
the higher loads, the ceramics offer a slightly lower VOUT
ripple magnitude than the tantalums of the same value.
However, the dv/dt of the VOUT ripple with the ceramics is
much lower that the tantalums under all load conditions.
Capacitor voltage rating must be sufficient, 25V or greater is
recommended. Examples of suitable capacitors are: TDK
C3216X5R1E475K,
Panasonic
ECJ3YB1E475K,
ECJMFB1E475K and ECJ4YB1E475K.
EMI FILTER COMPONENTS CSW, RSW
EMI filter (RSW and CSW) on the SW pin can be used to
suppress EMI caused by fast switching. These components
should be as near as possible to the SW pin to ensure
reliable operation. 50V or greater voltage rating is recommended for capacitor.
Some ceramic capacitors, especially those in small
packages, exhibit a strong capacitance reduction with
the increased applied voltage (DC bias effect). The capacitance value can fall below half of the nominal capacitance. Too low output capacitance can make the
boost converter unstable. Output capacitors DC bias
effect should be better than –50% at 18V.
INDUCTOR, L1
A 10uH shielded inductor is suggested for LP3958 boost
converter. The inductor should have a saturation current
rating higher than the rms current it will experience during
circuit operation (600mA). Less than 300mΩ ESR is suggested for high efficiency and sufficient output current. Open
core inductors cause flux linkage with circuit components
and interfere with the normal operation of the circuit. This
should be avoided. For high efficiency, choose an inductor
with a high frequency core material such as ferrite to reduce
the core losses. To minimize radiated noise, use a toroid, pot
core or shielded core inductor. The inductor should be connected to the SW pin as close to the IC as possible. Examples of suitable inductors are: TDK VLF4012AT100MR79, VLF4018BT-100MR90, VLF5014AT-100MR92,
Coilcraft LPS4018-103ML.
INPUT CAPACITOR, CIN
The input capacitor CIN directly affects the magnitude of the
input ripple voltage and to a lesser degree the VOUT ripple. A
higher value CIN will give a lower VIN ripple. Capacitor voltage rating must be sufficient, 10V or greater is recommended.
OUTPUT DIODE, D1
A schottky diode should be used for the output diode. Peak
repetitive current should be greater than inductor peak curLIST OF RECOMMENDED EXTERNAL COMPONENTS
