LM2758
Switched Capacitor Flash LED Driver in micro SMD
General Description
Features
LM2758 is an integrated low-noise, high-current switched capacitor DC/DC converter with a regulated current sink. The
device is capable of driving loads up to 700 mA from a singlecell Li-Ion battery. Maximum efficiency is achieved over the
input voltage range by actively selecting the proper gain
based on the LED forward voltage and current requirements.
One external low-power resistor sets the desired current for
Indicator, Torch and Flash modes. To protect the devices and
the flash LED, internal Time-out circuitry turns off the LM2758
in case of a faulty prolonged Flash mode. Internal soft-start
circuitry limits the amount of inrush current during start-up.
LM2758 is offered in National’s tiny 12-bump thin micro SMD
package.

Operating Ratings
Absolute Maximum Ratings (Note 1, Note
LM2758
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 to the GND pin.
Note 3: Internal thermal shutdown circuitry protects the device from permanent damage. Thermal shutdown engages at TJ=150°C (typ.) and disengages at TJ =
140°C (typ.).
Note 4: The Human body model is a 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5 kΩ resistor into each pin. The machine model is a 200pF capacitor discharged
directly into each pin. MIL-STD-883 3015.7
Note 5: For detailed soldering specifications and information, please refer to National Semiconductor Application Note AN-1112.
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 operation 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 × PD-MAX).
Note 7: Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) is taken from a thermal modeling result, performed under the conditions and guidelines set forth in the
JEDEC standard JESD51-7. The test board is a 4–layer FR-4 board measuring 102 mm x 76 mm x 1.6 mm with a 2x1 array of thermal vias. The ground plane
on the board is 50 mm x 50 mm. Thickness of copper layers are 53µm/35µm/35µm/53µm (1.5oz/1oz/1oz/1.5oz). Ambient temperature in simulation is 22°C, still
air. Power dissipation is 1W.
The value of θJA of this product in this micro SMD could fall in a range as wide as 50ºC/W to 150ºC/W (if not wider), depending on PWB material, layout, and
environmental conditions. In applications where high maximum power dissipation exists (high VIN, high IOUT), special care must be paid to thermal dissipation
issues.
Note 8: Min and Max limits are guaranteed by design, test, or statistical analysis. Typical (Typ) numbers are not guaranteed, but do represent the most likely
norm. Unless otherwise specified, conditions for Typ specifications are: VIN = 3.6V and TA = 25°C.
Note 9: CIN, COUT, C1, C2: Low-ESR Surface-Mount Ceramic Capacitors (MLCCs) used in setting electrical characteristics.
Note 10: Output voltage is internally limited not to exceed maximum specified value.
Note 11: These specification table entries are guaranteed by design. These parameters are not guaranteed by production testing. The temperature limits for test
are (-40°C ≤ TA ≤ +85°C).
Note 12: The temperature limits for ISD (shutdown current) test are -40°C ≤ TA ≤ +85°C, as in Shutdown mode ambient temperature is equal to junction
temperature.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The LM2758 is an adaptive 1x and 1.5x CMOS charge pump,
optimized for driving Flash LEDs in camera phone and other
portable applications. It provides a constant current of 500 mA
(typ.) for Flash mode and 107 mA (typ.) for Torch mode with
RSET = 20 kΩ. These current can change, see SETTING LED
CURRENTS.
There are four modes of operation for LM2758: the Flash
Mode, Torch Mode, Indicator Mode and Shutdown Mode (see
EN1 and EN2 truth table). Torch and Flash modes sink a
constant DC current while Indicator mode operates in pulsating DC at 1/32 positive duty cycle with same current magnitude as Torch mode. The LED is driven from CPOUT and
connected to the current sink. LED drive current mode is programmed by connecting a resistor, RSET, to the current set
pin, ISET. LM2758 also controls CPOUT with variable gain (1x
or 1.5x) and adjustable impedance (R OUT) to provide an output voltage that would account for LED forward voltage drop
and headroom for the current sink to drive desired current
through LED.

FLASH TIME-OUT FEATURE
Flash Time-out Protection Circuitry disables the current sinks
when the signal on EN1 and EN2 is held high for more than
814 msec (typ.). This prevents the device from self-heating
due to the high power dissipation during Flash conditions.
During the time-out condition, voltage will still be present on
CPOUT but the current sinks will be shut off, resulting in no
current through the Flash LED. When the device goes into a
time-out condition, placing a logic Low signal on EN1 and EN2
will reset the time-out; a subsequent logic High signal on EN1
or EN2 will return the device to normal operation.
CHARGE PUMP AND GAIN TRANSITIONS
The input to the 1x/1.5x charge pump is connected to the
VIN pin, and the loosely regulated output of the charge pump
is connected to the CPOUT pin. In 1x mode, as long as the
input voltage is less than 4.7V, the output voltage is approximately equal to the input voltage. When input voltage is over
4.7V the output voltage gets regulated to 4.7V. In 1.5x mode,
the output voltage is always less than or equal to 4.7V over
entire input voltage range.
The charge pump’s gain is selected depending on the headroom voltage across the current sink of LM2758. When headroom voltage VLED- (at LED pin) drops below 300 mV (typ.)
the charge pump gain transition happens from 1x to 1.5x to
maintain current regulation across the LED. Once the charge
pump transition to a higher gain, it will remain at that gain for
as long as the device remains enabled. Shutting down and
then re-enabling the device will resets the gain mode to the
minimum gain required to maintain the load.
SETTING LED CURRENTS
The current through the LED can be set by connecting an
appropriately sized resistor RSET between the ISET pin of the
LM2758 and GND.
The LED current in Torch mode is approximately 1639 times
greater than the current of ISET, while the LED current in Flash
mode is approximately 7650 times of the same ISET current.
The feedback loop of an internal amplifier sets the voltage of
the ISET pin to 1.3V (typ.). The statements above are simplified
in the equations below:
ILED = GAINFLASH/TORCH x (1.3/RSET)
The maximum recommended current through LED is 500 mA
in Torch mode / 700 mA in Flash mode. Note: If the ISET for
Torch Mode setting at 500 mA, the Flash mode would be over
700 mA (max). See the graph LED Current vs RSET. Using the
part in conditions where the junction temperature might rise
above the rated maximum requires that the operating ranges
and/or conditions be de-rated. The printed circuit board also
must be carefully laid out to account for high thermal dissipation in the part.
SOFT START
The LM2758 contains internal soft-start circuitry to limit inrush
currents when the part is enabled. Soft start is implemented
internally with a controlled turn-on of the internal voltage reference.
CURRENT LIMIT PROTECTION
The LM2758 charge pump contains current limit protection
circuitry that protects the device during VOUT fault conditions

The current though the LED could be varied dynamically by
changing the ISET current. The above figure shows the circuit.
The current though the LED can be calculated as follows.
tance tolerance (as good as ±10%) and hold their value over
temperature (X7R: ±15% over -55°C to 125°C; X5R: ±15%
over -55°C to 85°C). Capacitors with Y5V or Z5U temperature
characteristic are generally not recommended for use with the
LM2758. Capacitors with these temperature characteristics
typically have wide capacitance tolerance (+80%, -20%) and
vary significantly over temperature (Y5V: +22%, -82% over
-30°C to +85°C range; Z5U: +22%, -56% over +10°C to +85°
C range). Under some conditions, a nominal 1 μF Y5V or Z5U
capacitor could have a capacitance of only 0.1 μF. Such detrimental deviation is likely to cause Y5V and Z5U capacitors to
fail to meet the minimum capacitance requirements of the
LM2758. The voltage rating of the output capacitor should be
6.3V or more. For example, a 6.3V 0603 2.2 μF output capacitor (TDK C1608X5R0J225) is acceptable for use with the
LM2758, as long as the capacitance on the output does not
fall below a minimum of 1 μF in the intended application. All
other capacitors should have a voltage rating at or above the
maximum input voltage of the application and should have a
minimum capacitance of 1 μF.
30045317
CAPACITOR SELECTION
The LM2758 requires 4 external capacitors for proper operation. Surface-mount multi-layer ceramic capacitors are recommended. These capacitors are small, inexpensive and
have very low equivalent series resistance (ESR <20 mΩ
typ.). Tantalum capacitors, OS-CON capacitors, and aluminum electrolytic capacitors are not recommended for use
with the LM2758 due to their high ESR, as compared to ceramic capacitors. For most applications, ceramic capacitors
with X7R or X5R temperature characteristic are preferred for
use with the LM2758. These capacitors have tight capaci-

MICRO SMD PACKAGE ASSEMBLY AND USE
Use of the micro SMD package requires specialized board
layout, precision mounting and careful re-flow techniques as
detailed in National Semiconductor Application Note 1112.
Refer to the section "Surface Mount Technology (SMD) Assembly Considerations". For best results in assembly, alignment ordinals on the PC board should be used to facilitate
placement of the device. The pad style used with the micro
SMD package must be the NSMD (non-solder mask defined)
typ. This means that the solder-mask opening is larger than
the pad size. This prevents a lip that otherwise forms if the
solder mask and pad overlap, from holding the device off the
surface of the board and interfering with mounting. See Application Note 1112 for specific instructions how to do this.
The 12-bump package used for LM2758 has 300 micron solder balls and requires 10.82 mils pads for mounting on the
circuit board. The trace to each pad should enter the pad with
a 90° entry angle to prevent debris from being caught in deep
corners. Initially, the trace to each pad should be 7 mil. wide,
for a section approximately 7 mil. long or longer, as a thermal
relief. Then each trace should neck up or down to its optimal
width. The important criteria is symmetry. This ensures the
solder bumps on the LM2758 re-flow evenly and that the device solders level to the board. In particular, special attention
must be paid to the pads for bumps C1 and D3, because
VIN and GND are typically connected to large copper planes,
thus inadequate thermal relief can result in late or inadequate
re-flow of these bumps.
The micro SMD package is optimized for the smallest possible size in applications with red or infrared opaque cases.
Because the micro SMD package lacks the plastic encapsulation characteristic of larger devices, it is vulnerable to light.
Backside metallization and/or epoxy coating, along with front
side shading by the printed circuit board, reduce this sensitivity. However, the package has exposed die edges. In particular, micro SMD devices are sensitive to light, in the red
and infrared range, shining on the package’s exposed die
edges.
PLED = VLED × ILED
PIN = VIN × IIN
PIN = VIN × (Gain × ILED + IQ)
E = (PLED ÷ PIN)
For a simple approximation, the current consumed by internal
circuitry (IQ) can be neglected, and the resulting efficiency will
become:
E = VLED ÷ (VIN × Gain)
Neglecting IQ will result in a slightly higher efficiency prediction, but this impact will be negligible due to the value of IQ
being very low compared to the typical Torch and Flash current levels (100-500 mA). It is also worth noting that efficiency
as defined here is in part dependent on LED voltage. Variation
in LED voltage does not affect power consumed by the circuit
and typically does not relate to the brightness of the LED. For
an advanced analysis, it is recommended that power consumed by the circuit (VIN x IIN) be evaluated rather than power
efficiency.
THERMAL PROTECTION
Internal thermal protection circuitry disables the LM2758
when the junction temperature exceeds 150°C (typ.). This
feature protects the device from being damaged by high die
temperatures that might otherwise result from excessive power dissipation. The device will recover and operate normally
when the junction temperature falls below 140°C (typ.). It is
important that the board layout provide good thermal conduction to keep the junction temperature within the specified
operating ratings.
POWER DISSIPATION
The power dissipation (PDISSIPATION) and junction temperature
(TJ) can be approximated with the equations below. PIN is the
power generated by the 1x/1.5x charge pump, PLED is the
power consumed by the LEDs, TA is the ambient temperature,
and θJA is the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance for the
12–bump micro SMD package. VIN is the input voltage to the
LM2758, VLED is the nominal LED forward voltage, and ILED
is the programmed LED current.
BOARD LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
PC board layout is an important part of DC-DC converter design. Poor board layout can disrupt the performance of a DCDC converter and surrounding circuitry by contributing to EMI,
ground bounce, and resistive voltage loss in the traces. These
can send erroneous signals to the DC-DC converter IC, resulting in poor regulation or instability. Poor layout can also
result in re-flow problems leading to poor solder joints between the micro SMD package and board pads. Poor solder
joints can result in erratic or degraded performance.
PDISSIPATION = PIN - PLED
= (Gain × VIN × ILED) − (VLED × ILED)
TJ = TA + (PDISSIPATION × θJA)
The junction temperature rating takes precedence over the
ambient temperature rating. The LM2758 may be operated
outside the ambient temperature rating, so long as the junc-
11
www.national.com
LM2758
tion temperature of the device does not exceed the maximum
operating rating of 125°C. The maximum ambient temperature rating must be derated in applications where high power
dissipation and/or poor thermal resistance causes the junction temperature to exceed 125°C.
POWER EFFICIENCY
Efficiency of LED drivers is commonly taken to be the ratio of
power consumed by the LEDs (PLED) to the power drawn at
the input of the part (PIN). With a 1x/1.5x charge pump, the
input current is equal to the charge pump gain times the output
current (total LED current). The efficiency of the LM2758 can
be predicted as follows:
