Matching is the maximum difference from the average. For the constant current sinks on the part (OUT1 to OUT6), the following are determined: the maximum output current (MAX), the minimum output current (MIN), and the average output current of all outputs (AVG). Two matching numbers are calculated: (MAX-AVG)/AVG and (AVG-MIN/AVG). The largest number of the two (worst case) is considered the matching figure. The typical specification provided is the most likely norm of the matching figure for all parts. Note that some manufacturers have different definitions in use.

Reset is entered always VLDO voltage is low. EN pin is enable for the internal LDO. Power On Reset (POR) will activate during the chip startup or when the supply voltage VLDO fall below POR level. Once VLDO rises above POR level, POR will inactivate and the chip will continue to the STANDBY mode. STANDBY: The STANDBY mode is entered if the register bit BL_CTL is LOW and external PWM input is not active and POR is not active. This is the low-power consumption mode, when only internal 5V LDO is enabled. Registers can be written in this mode and the control bits are effective immediately after startup. STARTUP: When BL_CTL bit is written high or PWM signal is high, the INTERNAL STARTUP SEQUENCE powers up all the needed internal blocks (VREF, Bias, Oscillator etc.). Internal EPROM and EEPROM are read in this mode. To ensure the correct oscillator initialization etc, a 2 ms delay is generated by the internal state-machine. If the chip temperature rises too high, the Thermal Shutdown (TSD) 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 4 ms delay generated by the state-machine. All LED outputs are off during the 4 ms delay to ensure smooth startup. The Boost startup is entered from Internal Startup Sequence if EN_BOOST is HIGH. NORMAL: During NORMAL mode the user controls the chip using the external PWM input or with Control Registers through I2C. The registers can be written in any sequence and any number of bits can be altered in a register in one write.

www.ti.com SNVS635D –APRIL 2010–REVISED DECEMBER 2013 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION LP8545 is a high voltage LED driver for medium sized LCD backlight applications. It includes high voltage boost converter which can be used either with internal FET or with external FET depending on boost output voltage requirements. Boost voltage automatically sets to the correct level needed to drive the LED strings. This is done by monitoring LED output voltage drop in real time. Six constant current sinks with PWM control are used for driving LEDs. Constant current value is set with EEPROM bits and with RISET resistor. Brightness (PWM) is controlled either with I2C register or with PWM input. PWM frequencies are set with EEPROM bits and with RFSET resistor. Special Phase-Shift PWM mode can be used to reduce boost output current peak, thus reducing output ripple, capacitor size and audible noise. With LP8545 it is possible to synchronize the PWM output frequency to VSYNC signal received from video processor. Internal PLL ensures that the PWM output clock is always synchronized to the VSYNC signal. Special dithering mode makes it possible to increase output resolution during fading between two brightness values and by this making the transition look very smooth with virtually no stepping. Transition slope time can be adjusted with EEPROM bits. Safety features include LED fault detection with open and short detection. LED fault detection will prevent system overheating in case of open in some of the LED strings. Chip internal temperature is constantly monitored and based on this LP8545 can reduce the brightness of the backlight to reduce thermal loading once certain trip point is reached. Threshold is programmable in EEPROM. If chip internal temperature reaches too high, the boost converter and LED outputs are completely turned off until the internal temperature has reached acceptable level. Boost converter is protected against too high load current and over-voltage. LP8545 notifies the system about the fault through I2C register and with FAULT pin. EEPROM programmable functions include:

  • PWM frequencies
  • Phase shift PWM mode
  • LED constant current
  • Boost output frequency
  • Temperature thresholds
  • Slope for brightness changes
  • Dithering options
  • PWM output resolution
  • Boost control bits External components RISET and RFSET can also be used for selecting the output current and PWM frequencies. Copyright © 2010–2013, Texas Instruments Incorporated Submit Documentation Feedback 13 Product Folder Links: LP8545

PWM Calculation Data Flow is reduced if the temperature has reached the temperature limit set to the <TEMP_LIM[1:0]> EEPROM bits.

SNVS635D –APRIL 2010–REVISED DECEMBER 2013 www.ti.com Resolution Selector Resolution selector takes the necessary MSB bits from the input data to match the output resolution. For example if 11-bit resolution is used for output, then 11 MSB bits are selected from the input. Dither bits are not taken into account for the output resolution. This is to make sure that in steady state condition, there is no dithering used for the output. Sloper Sloper makes the smooth transition from one brightness value to another. Slope time can be adjusted from 0 to 500 ms with <SLOPE[3:0]> EEPROM bits. The sloper output is 16-bit value. Dither With dithering the output resolution can be “artificially” increased during sloping from one brightness value to another. This way the brightness change steps are not visible to eye. Dithering can be from 0 to 3 bits, and is selected with <DITHER[1:0]> EEPROM bits. PWM Comparator The PWM counter clocks the PWM comparator based on the duty cycle value received from Dither block. Output of the PWM comparator controls directly the LED drivers. If PSPWM mode is used, then the signal to each LED output is delayed certain amount. Current Setting Maximum current of the LED outputs is controlled with CURRENT[7:0] EEPROM register bits linearly from 0 to 30 mA. If EN_I_RES = 1 the maximum LED output current can be scaled also with external resistor, RISET. RISET controls the LED current as follows:

  • Default value for CURRENT[7:0] = 7Fh (127d). (1) Therefore the output current can be calculated as follows: Note: formula is only approximation for the actual current.
  • E.g. If 16 kΩ RISET resistor is used, then the LED maximum current is 23 mA. (2) PWM Frequency Setting PWM frequency is selected with PWM_FREQ[4:0] EEPROM register. If PLL clock frequency multiplication is used, it will effect to the output PWM frequency as well. <PWM_RESOLUTION[1:0]> EEPROM bits will select the PLL output frequency and hence the PWM frequency and resolution. Below are listed PWM frequencies with <EN_VSYNC]> = 0. PWM resolution setting affects the PLL clock frequency (5 MHz… 40 MHz). Highlighted frequencies with boldface can be selected also with external resistor RFSET. To activate RFSET frequency selection the <EN_F_RES> EEPROM bit must be 1.

When the LED output are not activated simultaneously, the peak load current from the boost output is greatly decreased. This reduces the ripple seen on the boost output and allows smaller output capacitors. Reduced ripple also reduces the output ceramic capacitor audible ringing. PSPWM scheme also increases the load frequency seen on boost output by x6 and therefore transfers the possible audible noise to so high frequency that human ear cannot hear it. Description of the PSPWM mode is seen on the following diagram. PSPWM mode is enabled by setting <EN_PSPWM> EEPROM bit to 1. Shift time is the delay between outputs and it is defined as 1 / (fPWM x 6). If the <EN_PSPWM> bit is 0, then the delay is 0 and all outputs are active simultaneously.

The output voltage can be controlled either with EEPROM register bits <VBOOST[4:0]> or automatic adaptive voltage control can be used. Higher output voltages can be achieved with external FET and by using resistor divider in the FB pin. GD pin operates as gate driver for the external FET in this case. To activate external FET gate driver, <EN_EXT_FET> bit in EEPROM register must be set to 1. The converter is a magnetic switching PWM mode DC/DC converter with a current limit. The topology of the magnetic boost converter is called CPM (current programmed mode) control, where the inductor current is measured and controlled with the feedback. Switching frequency is selectable between 156 kHz and 1.25 MHz with EEPROM bit <BOOST_FREQ[1:0]>. When <EN_BOOST> EEPROM register bit is set to 1, then boost will activate automatically when backlight is enabled. In adaptive mode the boost output voltage is adjusted automatically based on LED driver headroom voltage. Boost output voltage control step size is, in this case, 125 mV to ensure as small as possible driver headroom and high efficiency. Enabling the adaptive mode is done with <EN_ADAPT> EEPROM bit. If boost is started with adaptive mode enabled, then the initial boost output voltage value is defined with the <VBOOST[4:0]> EEPROM register bits in order to eliminate long output voltage iteration time when boost is started for the first time. The following figure shows the boost topology with the protection circuitry: Protection Three different protection schemes are implemented: 1. Over-voltage protection, limits the maximum output voltage. – Over-voltage protection limit changes dynamically based on output voltage setting. – 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. 3. Duty cycle limiting.

  • The corresponding LED string is taken out of boost adaptive control loop;
  • Fault bits are set in the fault register to identify whether the fault has been open/short and how many strings are faulty; and
  • Fault open-drain pin is pulled down. LED fault sensitivity can be adjusted with <LED_FAULT_THR[1:0]> EEPROM bits which sets the allowable variation between LED output voltage from 2.3V to 5.3V. Depending on application and how much variation there can be in normal operation between LED string forward voltages this setting can be adjusted.

LEDs and boost will start again when the voltage has increased above the threshold level. Hysteresis is implemented to threshold level to avoid continuous triggering of fault when threshold is reached. Fault is cleared by setting EN pin low or by reading the fault register. Over-Current Protection LP8545 has detection for too-high loading on the boost converter. When over-current fault is detected, the LP8545 will shut down. Fault is cleared by setting EN pin low or by reading the fault register. Device Thermal Regulation LP8545 has an internal temperature sensor which can be used to measure the junction temperature of the device and protect the device from overheating. During thermal regulation, LED PWM is reduced by 2% of full scale per °C whenever the temperature threshold is reached. Temperature regulation is enabled automatically when chip is enabled. 11-bit temperature value can be read from Temp MSB and Temp LSB registers, MSB should be read first. Temperature limit can be programmed in EEPROM as shown in the following table. Thermal regulation function does not generate fault signal. TEMP_LIM[1:0] Over-Temp Limit (°C) If the LP8545 reaches thermal shutdown temperature (150°C ) the LED outputs and boost will shut down to protect it from damage. Also the fault pin will be pulled down to indicate the fault state. Device will activate again when temperature drops below 130°C degrees. Fault is cleared by setting EN pin low or by reading the fault register.

ISAT > x (VOUT /cb1 VIN) VOUT VIN Where D = Where IRIPPLE = (2 x L x f) (VOUT /cb1 VIN) (VOUT ) + IRIPPLE IOUTMAX /c27/cb6 LP8545 www.ti.com SNVS635D –APRIL 2010–REVISED DECEMBER 2013 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Recommended External Components Inductor Selection There are two main considerations when choosing an inductor; the inductor should not saturate, and the inductor current ripple should be small enough to achieve the desired output voltage ripple. Different saturation current rating specifications are followed by different manufacturers so attention must be given to details. Saturation current ratings are typically specified at 25°C. However, ratings at the maximum ambient temperature of application should be requested from the manufacturer. Shielded inductors radiate less noise and should be preferred. The saturation current should be greater than the sum of the maximum load current and the worst case average to peak inductor current. The equation below shows the worst case conditions.

  • IRIPPLE: Average to peak inductor current
  • IOUTMAX: Maximum load current
  • VIN: Maximum input voltage in application
  • L: Min inductor value including worst case tolerances
  • f: Minimum switching frequency
  • D: Duty cycle for CCM Operation
  • VOUT: Output voltage (3) Example using above equations:
  • VIN = 12V
  • VOUT = 38V
  • IOUT = 400 mA
  • L = 15 µH − 20% = 12 µH
  • f = 1.25 MHz
  • ISAT = 1.6A As a result the inductor should be selected according to the ISAT. A more conservative and recommended approach is to choose an inductor that has a saturation current rating greater than the maximum current limit of 2.5A. A 15 μH inductor with a saturation current rating of 2.5A is recommended for most applications. The inductor’s resistance should be less than 300 mΩ for good efficiency. For high efficiency choose an inductor with high frequency core material such as ferrite to reduce core losses. To minimize radiated noise, use shielded core inductor. Inductor should be placed as close to the SW pin and the IC as possible. Special care should be used when designing the PCB layout to minimize radiated noise and to get good performance from the boost converter. Output Capacitor A ceramic capacitor with 50V voltage rating or higher is recommended for the output capacitor. The DC-bias effect can reduce the effective capacitance by up to 80%, which needs to be considered in capacitance value selection. For light loads a 4.7 µF capacitor is sufficient. Effectively the capacitance should be 4 µF for < 150 mA loads. For maximum output voltage/current 10 µF capacitor (or two 4.7 µF capacitors) is recommended to minimize the output ripple. For high output voltage (55V) application 100V voltage rating capacitors should be used. 2 x 2.2 µF capacitors are enough.
