Light-Management IC with Efficient 1x/1.5x/2x
Charge Pump for Backlight/Flash/RGB LEDs
The MAX1707 provides complete light management for
main display backlight, subdisplay backlight (or RGB
indicator), and white LED camera flash with regulated
constant current up to 610mA total. By utilizing adaptive 1x/1.5x/2x charge-pump modes and very-lowdropout current regulators, it achieves high efficiency
over the full 1-cell Li+ battery input voltage range. The
1MHz fixed-frequency switching allows for tiny external
components while the regulation scheme is optimized
to ensure low EMI and low input ripple. An integrated
derating function protects the LEDs from overheating
during high ambient temperatures.
The MAX1707 features an internally trimmed reference
to set the maximum LED current. An I2C† serial port is
used for on/off control and setting the LED currents in
32 linear steps. When using the RGB indicator, the I2C
port provides 32k colors and programmable rampup/down rates. The camera flash may be turned on/off
by the I2C port or a separate digital logic input.

_______________________________________________________________________________________
Light-Management IC with Efficient 1x/1.5x/2x
Charge Pump for Backlight/Flash/RGB LEDs
The MAX1707 charge pump operates in three modes to
maintain high efficiency over a wide supply voltage
range. The IC automatically selects between these
three modes as described in the 1x/1.5x/2x Mode
Switchover section.
Current-sinking LED cathode connections are provided
to drive four main (M_) and three sub (S_) LEDs at a
regulated current up to 30mA each. The sub LED connections can be used for either subdisplay backlighting
or one RGB indicator. The IC also contains four flash
LED connections (F_) that sink up to 100mA each.
These LED connections can be connected together in
any combination to provide increased current up to
610mA total.
An I2C serial port is used for on/off control and setting
the LED currents in 32 linear steps. When using the
RGB indicator, the I2C port provides 32k colors and
programmable ramp-up/down rates. The camera flash
can be turned on/off by the I2C port or a separate digital logic input with either method programmed to its
own brightness level.
1x/1.5x/2x Mode Switchover
When the input voltage is higher than the required output voltage needed to drive the LEDs, the MAX1707
pulls OUT up to the input voltage (in 1x mode), while
still regulating the LED current with the current regulators. As the input voltage drops, the lowest LED cathode voltage falls below the 100mV switchover
threshold, and the MAX1707 starts switching in 1.5x
mode. When the input voltage is rising, the transition
from 1.5x to 1x is made when VIN is greater than VOUT.
When the MAX1707 is running in 1.5x mode and the
input voltage is decreased, the lowest LED cathode
voltage crosses the 100mV switchover threshold again.
At this point, the MAX1707 changes to the 2x chargepump mode. With the input voltage rising and the
MAX1707 in 2x mode, the IC changes to 1.5x mode
once VIN is greater than 2/3 of the output voltage.
Soft-Start
The MAX1707 includes soft-start circuitry to limit inrush
current at turn-on and mode transitions. When starting
up, the output capacitor is charged directly from the
input with a ramped current source (with no chargepump action) until the output voltage is near the input
voltage. After 512µs, if all the LED cathodes are not
above 100mV, the MAX1707 switches to 1.5x mode
with the LED output current ramped from 1/32 to the
programmed current in 1/32 steps. After another 512µs,
if all the LED cathodes are not above 100mV, the
MAX1707 switches to 2x mode, once again ramping
the LED current from 1/32 to the programmed current in
1/32 steps. Any time the output voltage is less than
1.25V, the soft-start routine is reset to the 1x state. Thus,
the startup time is 512µs, 1024µs, or 1536µs, depending
on what mode is required after the completion of startup.
Output-Current Settings
The output currents for the main, sub, and flash current
regulators are set using the I2C serial interface (see the
I2C Interface section). The current for the four main
LEDs is always equal and set with a single command.
The currents for the three sub LEDs are set independently, allowing them to drive an RGB LED. The current-level settings for both the main and sub LEDs
range from 0.9mA to 30mA, defaulting to 15mA each
(see Tables 1, 2, and 3).

mon anode RGB LED. Thirty-two programmable brightness levels (5 bits) per LED provide a total of 32k colors. To smooth the transition between different
color/brightness settings, a controlled ramp is used
when the sub LED current level is changed, when the
sub LEDs are enabled, and when the LEDs are disabled. The ramp rate is set to one of four settings with
the I2C interface (see Table 4).

Temperature-Derating Function
*Default in bold.
The MAX1707 contains a temperature-derating function
that automatically limits the LED current at high temperatures in accordance with the recommended derating
curve of popular white LEDs. The derating function
enables the safe usage of higher LED current at room
temperature, thus reducing the number of LEDs required
to backlight the display. In camera-light applications, the
derating circuit protects the LEDs and PC board from
overheating. The derating circuit limits the LED current
by reducing the LED current above +40°C by approximately 1.7%/°C. The typical derating function characteristic is shown in the Typical Operating Characteristics.
The temperature derating function is enabled/disabled
using the I2C interface and is off by default.
The flash LEDs are controlled either using the I2C interface or by pulsing the STB input low. There are two registers in the MAX1707 to set the flash current level. The
FLASH register sets the LED current when the I2C interface is used to pulse the flash LEDs, and the STROBE
register sets the LED current when the STB input is
pulsed. The current-level settings for the flash LEDs
range from 3.3mA to 100mA, with a default of 25.8mA
(see Tables 1, 2, and 3). The strobe register has priority
over the flash register when both strobe and flash are on.
The LED cathode connections (M_, S_, and F_) can be
connected together in any combination to allow the use
of higher current LEDs. For example, to drive a single
flash LED at up to 400mA, connect F1, F2, F3, and F4
together to the cathode of the flash LED.
To avoid constantly operating in overvoltage protection
mode, any unused LED cathode connection (M_, S_, or
F_) must be connected to OUT. This disables the corresponding current regulator.
I2C Interface
An I 2 C 2-wire serial interface is provided on the
MAX1707 to control LED brightness, flash, temperature
deration, and RGB ramp rate. The serial interface consists of a serial data line (SDA) and a serial clock line
(SCK). Standard I2C write-byte commands are used.
Figure 2 shows a timing diagram for the I2C protocol.
The MAX1707 is a slave-only device, relying upon a
master to generate a clock signal. The master (typically
a microprocessor) initiates data transfer on the bus and

Thermal Shutdown
Thermal shutdown limits total power dissipation in the
MAX1707. When the junction temperature exceeds
+160°C, the MAX1707 turns off, allowing the IC to cool.
The MAX1707 turns on and begins soft-start after the junction temperature cools by 20°C. This results in a pulsed
output during continuous thermal-overload conditions.
PC Board Layout and Routing
The MAX1707 is a high-frequency switched-capacitor
regulator. For best circuit performance, use a solid
ground plane and place the capacitors as close to the
IC as possible. Connect the exposed pad to GND and
PGND, and allow sufficient copper area for cooling the
IC. Refer to the MAX1707 evaluation kit for an example
PC board layout.
IN
Output Overvoltage Protection
In case an LED fails or the cathode is shorted to GND,
the output overvoltage protection limits the output to
5V. When the MAX1707 detects the output voltage rising above 5V, it shuts off the charge pump. The charge
pump restarts once the output voltage has dropped to
4.9V.
To avoid constantly operating in overvoltage protection,
any unused LED cathode connection (M_, S_, or F_)
must be connected to OUT; this disables the corresponding current regulator.
Capacitor Selection
Ceramic capacitors are recommended due to their small
size, low cost, and low ESR. Select ceramic capacitors
that maintain their capacitance over temperature and DC
bias. Capacitors with X5R or X7R temperature characteristics generally perform well. Recommended values are
shown in the Typical Operating Circuit. Using a largervalue input capacitor helps to reduce input ripple (see
the Input Ripple section).
SDA
STB Logic Input
The STB input is used to control the flash LEDs without
accessing the I2C interface. When STB is driven low,
the flash LEDs are driven to the current set in the
STROBE register. Driving STB low overrides the flash
register settings. With STB high, the flash LEDs are
controlled by the I2C interface flash register and on/off
control.
Input Ripple
In 1x mode, the input ripple of the MAX1707 is negligible. When the charge pump is switching in 1.5x or 2x
mode, the input ripple depends on the load current and
the output impedance of the source supply. The worstcase ripple occurs when the charge pump is operating
in 1.5x mode. The switching waveforms in the Typical
Operating Characteristics show the typical input ripple.
For noise-sensitive applications, input ripple can be
reduced by increasing the input capacitance.
PIN
Shutdown Mode
When all the LEDs are off, the MAX1707 turns off the
charge pump and enters low-power shutdown mode.
When in shutdown, OUT is pulled to GND by an internal
5kΩ resistor, discharging the output capacitor. IN and
PIN are high impedance during shutdown, but the I2C
interface (powered from VDD) remains active. To enter
shutdown, send control byte 0x00 to the I2C interface,
and drive STB high. To exit shutdown, enable any of
the LEDs with the I2C interface or STB input.

generates SCK to permit data transfer. A master device
communicates to the MAX1707 by transmitting the
proper 8-bit address (0x9A) followed by the 8-bit control byte. Each 8-bit control byte consists of a 3-bit
command code and 5 bits of data (see Table 1). Each
transmit sequence is framed by a START (A) condition
and a STOP (L) condition (see Figure 2). Each word
transmitted over the bus is 8 bits long and is always followed by an acknowledge clock pulse.
