Programming the output current is
readily achieved by using one external
current sense resistor in series with the
LEDs. In this configuration, LED
current provides a feedback signal to
the FB pin, maintaining constant current
regardless of varying LED forward
voltage (VF). Moreover, the LX1992 is
capable of achieving output currents in
excess of 150mA, depending on the
MOSFET selected.
The LX1992 has an additional feature
for simple dynamic adjustment of the
output current (i.e., up to 100% of the
maximum
programmed
current).
Designers can make this adjustment via
an analog reference signal or a direct
PWM generated signal applied to the
ADJ pin and any PWM amplitude is
easily accommodated with a single
external resistor.
The LX1992 is available in both the 8Pin MSOP, and the miniature 8-Pin MLP
requiring minimal PCB area.

The LX1992 is a compact high
efficiency step-up boost controller for
driving white or color LEDs in
backlight or frontlight systems and
offers designers maximum flexibility
with respect to efficiency and cost.
The LX1992 features a pseudohysteretic pulse frequency modulation
topology and uses an external NChannel MOSFET.
Further, the
LX1992 features control circuitry that
is optimized for portable systems (e.g.,
quiescent supply current of 80µA
(typ) and a shutdown current of less
than
1µA).
These
design
enhancements provide for improved
performance in battery operated
systems applications.
The device input voltage range is
from 1.6V to 6.0, allowing for a wide
selection of system battery voltages
and
start-up
operation
is
guaranteed at 1.6V input.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
The LX1992 is a PFM boost converter that is
optimized for driving a string of series connected LEDs. It
operates in a pseudo-hysteretic mode with a fixed switch
“off time” of 300ns. Converter switching is enabled as
LED current decreases causing the voltage across RSET to
decrease to a value less than the voltage at the VADJ pin.
When the voltage across RSET (i.e., VFB) is less than VADJ,
comparator A activates the control logic. The control logic
activates the DRV output circuit that connects to the gate
of the external FET. The DRV output is switched “on”
(and remains “on”) until the inductor current ramps up to
the peak current level. This current level is set via the
external RCS resistor and monitored through the CS and
SRC inputs by comparator B.
The LED load is powered from energy stored in the
output capacitor during the inductor charging cycle. Once
the peak inductor current value is achieved, the NDRV
output is turned off (off-time is typically 300ns) allowing a
portion of the energy stored in the inductor to be delivered
to the load (e.g., see Figure 5, channel 2). This causes the
output voltage to continue to rise across RSET at the input to
the feedback circuit. The LX1992 continues to switch until
the voltage at the FB pin exceeds the control voltage at the
ADJ pin.
The value of RSET is established by dividing the
maximum adjust voltage by the maximum series LED
current. A minimum value of 15Ω is recommended for
RSET. The voltage at the FB pin is the product of IOUT (i.e.,
the current through the LED chain) and RSET.




Setting the level of peak inductor current to approximately
2X the expected maximum DC input current will minimize
the inductor size, the input ripple current, and the output
ripple voltage. The designer is encouraged to use inductors
that will not saturate at the peak inductor current level. An
inductor value of 47µH is recommended. Choosing a lower
value emphasizes peak current overshoot while choosing a
higher value emphasizes output ripple voltage. The peak
switch current is defined using a resistor placed between the
CS terminal and ground and the IPEAK equation is:
I PEAK = I MIN + 


VIN
L
 t +  ICS
R
 D  R ICS  CS
The maximum IPEAK value is limited by the ISRC value
(max. = 0.8ARMS). The minimum IPEAK value is defined
when RCS is zero. The value range for parameters IMIN and
ICS are provided in the ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
section of this data sheet. The parameter tD is related to
internal operation of the device. A typical value at 25oC is
800ns. RICS is the internal current sense resistor connected to
the SRC pin. A typical value at 25oC is 200mΩ. All of these
parameters have an effect on the final IPEAK value.
DESIGN EXAMPLE:
Determine IPEAK where VIN equals 3.0V and RCS equals
4.02KΩ using nominal values for all other parameters.

 × 4.02KΩ



The result of this example yields a nominal IPEAK of
approximately 225mA.
OUTPUT RIPPLE AND CAPACITOR SELECTION
Output voltage ripple is a function of the inductor value
(L), the output capacitor value (COUT), the peak switch
current setting (IPEAK), the load current (IOUT), the input
voltage (VIN) and the output voltage (VOUT) for a this boost
converter regulation scheme. When the switch is first turned
on, the peak-to-peak voltage ripple is a function of the
output droop (as the inductor current charges to IPEAK), the
feedback transition error (i.e., typically 10mV), and the
output overshoot (when the stored energy in the inductor is
delivered to the load at the end of the charging cycle).
Therefore the total ripple voltage is
VRIPPLE = ∆VDROOP + ∆VOVERSHOOT + 10mV
The initial droop can be estimated as follows where the
0.5 value in the denominator is an estimate of the voltage
drop across the inductor and the FET’s RDS_ON: The

APPLICATION
The application of an external voltage source at the
ADJ pin provides for output current adjustment over the
entire dimming range and the designer can select one of
two possible methods. The first option is to connect a
PWM logic signal to the ADJ pin (e.g., see Figure 1). The
LX1992 includes an internal 50pF capacitor to ground that
works with an external resistor to create a low-pass filter
(i.e., filter out the AC component of a pulse width
modulated input of fPWM ≥ 100KHz). The second option is
to adjust the reference voltage directly at the ADJ pin by
applying a DC voltage from 0.0 to 0.3V (e.g., see Figure
2). The adjustment voltage level is selectable (with limited
accuracy) by implementing the voltage divider created
between the external series resistor and the internal 2.5MΩ
resistor. Disabling the LX1992 is achieved by driving the
SHDN pin with a low-level logic signal thus reducing the
device power consumption to less than 0.5µA (typ).

DIODE SELECTION
TRANSISTOR SELECTION
The LX1992 can source up to 100mA of gate current.
An N-channel MOSFET with a relatively low threshold
voltage, low gate charge and low RDS(ON) is required to
optimize overall circuit performance. The LXE1992
Evaluation Board uses a Fairchild FDV303. This NMOS
device was chosen because it demonstrates an RDS_ON of
0.33Ω and a total gate charge Qg of 1.64nC (typ.)
The LXE1992 evaluation board is available from
Microsemi for assessing overall circuit performance. The
evaluation board, shown in Figure 3, is 3 by 3 inches (i.e.,
7.6 by 7.6cm) square and programmed to drive 4 LEDs
(provided). Designers can easily modify circuit parameters
to suit their particular application by replacing RCS (as
described in this section) RSET (i.e., R4) and diode load.
Moreover, the inductor, FET, and switching diode are easily
swapped out to promote design verification of a circuit that
maximizes efficiency and minimizes cost for a specific
application.
The evaluation board input and output
connections are described in Table 1.
The DC input voltage is applied to VBAT (not VCC)
however the LX1992 IC may be driven from a separate DC
source via the VCC input. The output current (i.e., LED
brightness) is controlled by adjusting the on-board
potentiometer.
The designer may elect to drive the
brightness adjustment circuit from VBAT or via a separate
voltage source by selecting the appropriate jumper position
(see Table 2). Optional external adjustment of the output
LED current is achieved by disengaging the potentiometer
and applying either a DC voltage or a PWM-type signal to
the VADJ input. The PWM signal frequency should be
higher than 150KHz and contain a DC component les than
350mV.
The LX1992 exhibits a low quiescent current (IQ < 0.5µA:
typ) during shutdown mode. The SHDN pin is used to
exercise the shutdown function on the evaluation board.
This pin is pulled-up to VCC via a 10KΩ resistor.
Grounding the SHDN pin shuts down the IC (not the circuit
output). The output voltage (i.e., voltage across the LED
string) is readily measured at the VOUT terminal and LED
current is derived from measuring the voltage at the VFDBK
pin and dividing this value by 15Ω (i.e., R4).
The factory installed component list for this must-have
design tool is provided in Table 3 and the schematic is
shown in Figure 4

APPLICATION
A Schottky diode is recommended for most applications
(e.g. Microsemi UPS5817). The low forward voltage drop
and fast recovery time associated with this device supports
the switching demands associated with this circuit
topology. The designer is encouraged to consider the
diode’s average and peak current ratings with respect to
the application’s output and peak inductor current
requirements. Further, the diode’s reverse breakdown
voltage characteristic must be capable of withstanding a
negative voltage transition that is greater than VOUT.

Rev. 1.1, 2002-11-21
The LX1992 produces high slew-rate voltage and current
waveforms hence; the designer should take this into
consideration when laying out the circuit. Minimizing trace
lengths from the IC to the inductor, transistor, diode, input
and output capacitors, and feedback connection (i.e., pin 6)
are typical considerations. Moreover, the designer should
maximize the DC input and output trace widths to
accommodate peak current levels associated with this
topology.

Figure 8: Efficiency vs. LED Output Current.
Configuration: VIN = 3.0V, L = 47µH, RCS = 4KΩ
Note: Data taken from LXE1992 Evaluation Board
Efficiency Measurement Hint: When doing an efficiency
evaluation using the LX1992 Evaluation Board, VPOT should
be driven by a separate voltage supply to account for losses
associated with the onboard reference (i.e., the 1.25V shunt
regulator and 1KΩ resistor). This circuit will have VBAT 1.25V across it and at the higher input voltages the 1KΩ
resistor could have as much as 4mA through it. This shunt
regulator circuitry will adversely effect the overall efficiency
measurement and is not normally used in an application.
Therefore it should not be considered when measuring
efficiency.
