White LED Step-Up Converter China Resources Powtech (Shanghai) Limited WWW.CRPOWTECH.COM P a g e 1 PT4103_DS Rev EN_2.2 PT4103 GENERAL DESCRIPTION The PT4103 is a step-up DC/DC converter designed for driving up to 8 white LEDs in series from a single cell Lithium Ion battery with cons tant current. Because it directly regulates output current, the PT4103 is ideal for driving light emitting diodes (LEDs) whose light intensity is proportional to the current passing through them, not the voltage across their terminals. A single external resistor sets LED current between 5mA and 20mA, which can then be eas ily adjusted using either a DC voltage or a pulse width modulated (PWM) signal. Its low 104mV feedback voltage reduces power loss and improves efficiency. The OV pin monitors the output voltage and turns off the converter if an over-voltage condition is present due to an open circuit condition. The PT4103 is available in SOT23-6 packages.

APPLICATION INFORMATION

„ Inductor Selections For most of the applications of the PT4103, it is recommended to use an inductor of 22uH. Although small size is one of the major factors in selecting an inductor, the smaller and thinner inductors give higher core losses at 1.25MHz and DRC, resulting in lower efficiencies. The following tab le provides a list of recommended inductors: Part Number DCR (Ω) Current Rating (mA) Manufacture LQH3C220 0.71 250 MURATA CDRH3D16-220 0.53 350 SUMIDA LB2012B220M 1.7 75 TAIYO YUDEN LEM2520-220 5.5 125 TAIYO YUDEN EJPC220KF 4.0 160 PANASONIC „ Capacitor Selection The small size of ceramic capacitors makes them ideal for PT4103 applications. X5R and X7R types are recommended because they retain their capacitance over wider voltage and temperature ranges than other types such as Y5V or Z5U. A 1μF input capacitor and a 0.22 μF output capacitor are sufficient for most PT4103 applications. „ Diodes Selection Schottky diodes, with their low forward voltage drop and fast reverse recovery, are the ideal choices for PT4103 applications. The forward voltage drop of a Schottky diode represents the conduction losses in the diode, while the diode capacitance (C T or C D) represents the switching losses. For diode selection, both forward voltage drop and diode capacitance need to be considered. Schottky diodes with higher current ratings usually have lower forward voltage drop and larger diode capacitance, which can cause significant switching losses at the 1.25MHz switching frequency of the PT4103. A Schottky diode rated at 100mA to 200mA is sufficient for most PT4103 applications. Some recommended Schottky diodes are listed in the following table: Part Number Forward Current (mA) Voltage Drop (V) Diode CAP (Pf) Manu facture CMDSH-3 100 0.58@100mA 7.0@10V Central CMDSH2-3 200 0.49@200mA 15@10v Central BAT54 200 0.53@100mA 10@25v Zetex „ LED Current Control The LED current is controlled by the feedback resistor. The feedback reference is 104mV . The LED current is 104mV/Rfb. In order to have accurate LED current, precision resistors are preferred (1% is recommended). The formula and table for R FB selection are shown below: RFB = 104mV/ILED ILED(mA) RFB Value(Ω) 5 20.8 10 10.4 15 6.93 20 5.2

White LED Step-Up Converter China Resources Powtech (Shanghai) Limited WWW.CRPOWTECH.COM P a g e 6 PT4103_DS Rev EN_2.2 PT4103 „ Open Circuit Protection Open circuit protection will shut off the PT4103 if the output voltage goes too high when the OV pin is tied to the output. In some cases an LED may fail, which will result in the feedback voltage always being zero. The PT4103 will then switch at its maximum duty cycle boosting the output voltage higher and higher. By connecting the OV pin to the top of the LED string the PT4103 checks this condition and if the output ever exceeds 30V , the PT4103will shut down. The part will not switch again until the power is recycled. „ Dimming Control There are three different types of dimming control circuits: 1. Using a DC Voltage For some applications, the preferred method of brightness control is a variable DC voltage to adjust the LED current. The dimming control using a DC voltage is shown in Figure 3. As the DC voltage increases, the voltage drop on R2 increases and the voltage drop on R1 decreases. Thus, the LED current decreases. The selection of R2 and R3 will make the current from the variable DC source much smaller than the LED current and much larger than the FB pin bias current. 2. Using a PWM Signal to EN Pin With the PWM signal applied to the EN pin, the PT4103 is turned on or off by the PWM signal. The LEDs operate at either zero or full current. The average LED current increases propo rtionally with the duty cycle of the PWM signal. A 0% duty cycle will turn off the PT4103 and corresponds to zero LED current. A 100% duty cycle correspo nds to full current. The typical frequency range of the PWM signal should be 1kHz or less due to the soft start function. 3. Using a Filtered PWM Signal The filtered PWM signal can be considered as an adjustable DC voltage. It can be used to replace the variable DC voltage source in dimming control. The circuit is shown in Figure 5. „ Start-up and Inrush Current The PT4103has internal soft start to limit the amount of current through VIN at startup and to also limit the amount of overshoot on the output. The soft start is realized by gradually increasing the current limit during start-up. The current limit is increased by a third every 60μS giving a total soft start time of around 180μS. „ Board Layout Consideration As with all switching regulators, careful attention must be paid to the PCB board layout and component placement. To maximize efficiency, switch rise and fall times are made as short as possible. To prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI) problems, proper layout of the high frequency switching path is essential. The voltage signal of the SW pin has sharp rise and fall edges. Minimize the length and area of all traces connected to the SW pin and always use a ground plane under the switching regulator to minimize interplane coupling. In addition, the ground connection for the feedback resistor R1 should be tied directly to the GND pin and not shared with any other component, ensuring a clean, noise-free connection. Figure3.
