It is possible to access the register inside of this chip by using the protocol below. Accessing the registers with using this protocol operates LED driver ON/OFF and selecting the mode. Moreover, MAX current can be outputted without Clock input to EN terminal by holding H zone of fixed time after EN terminal starting. < When setting current level > T LAT THI Tacc T pulse EN 1 T OFF TLO n-1 2 LED Current Setting n (N? 16) 0 0 n (Notes) TaccMIN < Tpulse < TaccMAX Please input a pulse on this condition < When starting by MAX setup > T accMAX T OFF EN LED Current Setting 1 0 0 Fig.5 Register access protocol Tacc TLAT TLAT TLAT TLAT EN 16pulse 15pulse 14pulse 13pulse 1mA 0.5mA LED Current OFF 0.125mA 0.25mA Fig.6 Slope control example ( Note ) ・In the case of N > 16, BD1204GWL selects the mode of N = 16. ・LED current is changed by the pulse of EN pin. Be careful to noise of EN signal. ・Reset BD1204GWL when the set is unusual. (Keep EN=L over Toff time.) www.rohm.com © 2010 ROHM Co., Ltd. All rights reserved. 6/12 2010.02 - Rev.A Technical Note BD1204GWL b) LED current level The interface records rising edges of the EN pin and decodes them into 16 different indicated in following table. Data Output current [mA] Data Output current [mA] 1 20.0 9 5.0 2 17.0 10 4.0 3 14.0 11 3.0 4 12.0 12 2.0 5 10.0 13 1.0 6 8.5 14 0.5 7 7.0 15 0.25 8 6.0 16 0.125 (RISET=120 kΩ) Moreover, LED current can be set up with the resistance RISET connected to ISET terminal, and the maximum current is decided by the following formula. ILEDmax [A] = 2.4/ RISET [kΩ] (Typ) (2) Charge pump a) Description of operations Pin voltage comparison takes place at Vout control section, and then Vout generation takes place so that the LED cathode voltage with the highest Vf is set to 0.15V. A boost rate is changed automatically to a proper one at the Charge Pump Mode Control section so that operation can take place at possible low boost rate. In addition, when the VOUT output is short-circuited to GND, the leak current is suppressed via the overcurrent protection function. b) Soft start function BD1204GWL have a soft start function that prevents the rush current. TOFF EN/LED* VOUT ILED Soft Start Ordinal mode * EN/LED is an internal enable Fig.7 Soft Start c) Automatic boost rate change The boost rate automatically switches to the best mode. * (×1 mode ×1.5 mode) or (×1.5 mode ×2 mode) If a battery voltage drop occurs BD1204GWL cannot maintain the LED constant current, and then mode transition begins. * (×1.5 mode ×1 mode) or (×2 mode ×1.5 mode) If a battery voltage rise occurs, VOUT and VBAT detection are activated, and then mode transition begins. (3) UVLO (Under Voltage Lock Out) If the input voltage falls below 2.2V(Typ.), BD1204GWL is shut down to prevent malfunction due to ultra-low voltage. (4) OVP (Over Voltage Protection) This circuit protects this IC against damage when the C/P output voltage (VOUT) rises extremely for some external factors. (5) Thermal shutdown (TSD) To protect this IC against thermal damage or heat-driven uncontrolled operations, this circuit turns off the output if the chip temperature rises over 175ºC. In addition, it turns on the output if the temperature returns to the normal temperature. Because the built-in thermal protection circuit is intended to protect the IC itself, the thermal shutdown detection temperature must be set to below 175ºC in thermal design. www.rohm.com © 2010 ROHM Co., Ltd.

VBAT EN Fig.8 Power sequence (7) PWM control PWM control by the external terminal (PWMIN) is possible. It becomes PWM operation that used LED current by a register setup as the base and is the best for the brightness compensation by external control. If the application with is not use PWM, PWMIN pin must be short to VBAT.

A PWM drive becomes effective after the time of LED current standup. When rising during PWM operation, as for the standup time of VOUT, only the rate of PWM Duty becomes late. Appearance may be influenced when extremely late frequency and extremely low Duty are inputted. Please secure over 120 μs “H” sections at the time of PWM pulse Force.

All rights reserved. 10/12 2010.02 - Rev.A Technical Note BD1204GWL ●Notes for use (1) Absolute Maximum Ratings An excess in the absolute maximum ratings, such as supply voltage, temperature range of operating conditions, etc., can break down devices, thus making impossible to identify breaking mode such as a short circuit or an open circuit. If any special mode exceeding the absolute maximum ratings is assumed, consideration should be given to take physical safety measures including the use of fuses, etc. (2) Power supply and ground line Design PCB pattern to provide low impedance for the wiring between the power supply and the ground lines. Pay attention to the interference by common impedance of layout pattern when there are plural power supplies and ground lines. Especially, when there are ground pattern for small signal and ground pattern for large current included the external circuits, please separate each ground pattern. Furthermore, for all power supply pins to ICs, mount a capacitor between the power supply and the ground pin. At the same time, in order to use a capacitor, thoroughly check to be sure the characteristics of the capacitor to be used present no problem including the occurrence of capacity dropout at a low temperature, thus determining the constant. (3) Ground voltage Make setting of the potential of the ground pin so that it will be maintained at the minimum in any operating state. Furthermore, check to be sure no pins are at a potential lower than the ground voltage including an actual electric transient. (4) Short circuit between pins and erroneous mounting In order to mount ICs on a set PCB, pay thorough attention to the direction and offset of the ICs. Erroneous mounting can break down the ICs. Furthermore, if a short circuit occurs due to foreign matters entering between pins or between the pin and the power supply or the ground pin, the ICs can break down. (5)Operation in strong electromagnetic field Be noted that using ICs in the strong electromagnetic field can malfunction them. (6)Input pins In terms of the construction of IC, parasitic elements are inevitably formed in relation to potential. The operation of the parasitic element can cause interference with circuit operation, thus resulting in a malfunction and then breakdown of the input pin. Therefore, pay thorough attention not to handle the input pins, such as to apply to the input pins a voltage lower than the ground respectively, so that any parasitic element will operate. Furthermore, do not apply a voltage to the input pins when no power supply voltage is applied to the IC. In addition, even if the power supply voltage is applied, apply to the input pins a voltage lower than the power supply voltage or within the guaranteed value of electrical characteristics. (7) External capacitor In order to use a ceramic capacitor as the external capacitor, determine the constant with consideration given to a degradation in the nominal capacitance due to DC bias and changes in the capacitance due to temperature, etc. (8)Thermal shutdown circuit This LSI builds in a thermal shutdown circuit. When junction temperatures become detection temperature or higher, the thermal shutdown circuit operates and turns a switch OFF. The thermal shutdown circuit, which is aimed at isolating the LSI from thermal runaway as much as possible, is not aimed at the protection or guarantee of the LSI. Therefore, do not continuously use the LSI with this circuit operating or use the LSI assuming its operation. (9) Thermal design Perform thermal design in which there are adequate margins by taking into account the permissible dissipation (Pd)in actual states of use. (10) About the pin for the test, the un-use pin Prevent a problem from being in the pin for the test and the un-use pin under the state of actual use. Please refer to a function manual and an application notebook. And, as for the pin that doesn't specially have an explanation, ask our company person in charge. (11) About the rush current For ICs with more than one power supply, it is possible that rush current may flow instantaneously due to the internal powering sequence and delays. Therefore, give special consideration to power coupling capacitance, power wiring, width of ground wiring, and routing of wiring.
