NIPPON PRECISION CIRCUITS INC.—1 White LED Driver IC OVERVIEW The SM8122A is a high efficiency step-up DC/DC converter. Due to high voltage CMOS process realizing 25V output supply as maximum value, 2 to 6 lights of white LED connected in series can be lighted. By con- necting in series, current variation among LED is eliminated. Current value sent to white LED can be set by external resistors. In addition, brightness can also be adjusted by control to FB pin or CE pin. Since the SM8122A has an over voltage protection circuit built-in, it dispenses with the existing external ZD (zener diode). Besides, the switching frequency of the SM8122A is higher (2.0MHz) than the existing product (SM8121A), so that it can respond to lower inductance value.

NIPPON PRECISION CIRCUITS INC.—5 OPERATION OVERVIEW The SM8122A basic structure is a step-up DC/DC converter. The booster control employs Pulse Width Modu- lation (PWM) which controls the pulse duty cycle (85% max.) at constant frequency (2.0MHz typ.). The LED current is set by a current-setting resistor R1 connected between pins FB (with stable voltage of 0.5V typ.) and VSS. When the switching transistor SW-Tr is ON, energy is stored in the inductor L. When SW-Tr is rapidly switched OFF, the energy stored in the inductor generates a voltage across the terminals of the inductor. The induced voltage, after being added to the input voltage, turns ON the Schottky barrier diode SBD and the stored energy is transferred to the output capacitor. This sequence of events continues repeatedly, boosting the output voltage. The SM8122A features a built-in soft-start function. The soft-start time is approximately 500 µ s from after the chip enable input CE rising edge. During this interval, the maximum duty is restricted.

NIPPON PRECISION CIRCUITS INC.—6 OVP (Over Voltage Protection) SM8122A is always monitoring the VOUT terminal voltage in order to protect itself from the stress of V OUT over voltage. If SM8122A detects the V OUT over voltage, it immediately stop the switching of the inductor drive transistor. After the VOUT terminal voltage decreases below the release voltage, SM8122A restarts switching the inductor drive transistor. The over voltage is set as approximately 30.5V , the release voltage is approximately 28.5V . Selecting the Current-setting Resistor (R1) The SM8122A control stabilizes the voltage on pin FB (0.5V typ.). Hence, the current-setting resistor R1 con- nected between FB and VSS sets the LED current I LED , where the resistance R1 is given by the following equation. R1 = 0.5 / I LED 30.5V 28.5V VOUT SW Tr = OFF SW Tr Switching SW Tr = OFF Over voltage detection release Over voltage detection Over voltage detection release Over voltage detection ILED=0.5/R1FB VFB=0.5V R1=0.5/ILED
NIPPON PRECISION CIRCUITS INC.—7 Selecting the Inductor (L) The inductor DC resistance affects the power efficiency, therefore a low DC resistance inductor is recom- mended. Note also that the peak inductor current I peak should not exceed the inductor maximum current rating. In pulsed current mode control, the peak inductor current I peak is given by the following equation. I peak = (V IN T ON ) / L For example, if the input voltage V IN is 3.6V , the inductance L is 4.7 µ H, and the SW-Tr ON time T ON is 2MHz 85% = 0.425 µ s, then the peak inductor current I peak is (3.6 0.425 ) / (4.7 Selecting the Capacitors (CIN, COUT) The recommended capacitances for use with the SM8122A are 4.7 µF ceramic input capacitor C IN and 1.0µF ceramic output capacitor C OUT. The capacitor ESR ratings affect the ripple voltage, therefore capacitors with low ESR rating are recommended. The input capacitor should be mounted close to the SM8122A IC. Note that the capacitor voltage ratings should be selected to provide sufficient margin for the applied input and output voltages. For example, if a lithium-ion battery (2.5 to 4.5V) is connected to the input and 3 white LEDs connected in series at the output draw 20mA, then the maximum input voltage is 4.5V and the maximum output voltage is (4.0V × 3 LEDs) + 0.5V = 12.5V . Therefore, the input capacitor should have a voltage rating of 6V , and the output capacitor should have a voltage rating of 16V . Selecting the Rectifier Schottky Barrier Diode (SBD) The rectifier schottky barrier diode forward-direction voltage drop affects the power efficiency, therefore a Schottky barrier diode with low forward-direction voltage drop is recommended. Note that the diode should be selected to provide sufficient margin for the rated current and reverse-direction withstand voltage. Board Layout Notes The following precautions should be followed for stable device operation. I The inductor L and Schottky barrier diode SBD should be connected close to the pin SW using thick, short circuit wiring. I The input capacitor CIN should be mounted close to the IC. I The IC supply voltage V DD wiring and inductor supply wiring should be isolated, reducing any common impedances. I The ground wiring should be connected at a single point, reducing any common impedances. SW FB L CIN VIN SBD COUT VDD CE VSS LED VOUT
NIPPON PRECISION CIRCUITS INC.—8 BRIGHTNESS ADJUSTMENT Brightness Adjustment using FB Pin The LED brightness can be adjusted using an input DC control voltage connected through resistor R3 to the FB pin. Alternatively, the brightness can be controlled by a PWM signal by adding a low-pass filter comprising resistor R4 and capacitor C1. The PWM signal frequency range is determined by the low-pass filter coeffi- cients. For example, the recommended values for resistor R4 (50kΩ) and capacitor C1 (0.1µF) provide a PWM signal frequency range of 1kHz to 1MHz. Brightness adjustment using FB pin (DC voltage input) When the brightness is controlled by DC voltage (V DC) connected to resistor R3, the LED current (I LED) is given by equation 1. If the values R1 = 30 Ω, R2 = 20k Ω, R3 = 100k Ω, VFB = 0.5V , and VDC = 0V are inserted in equation 1, the LED current ILED = 20mA, as shown in equation 2. If the values R1 = 30 Ω, R2 = 20k Ω, R3 = 100k Ω, VFB = 0.5V , and VDC = 3V are inserted in equation 1, the LED current ILED = 0mA, as shown in equation 3. Taking the above diagram as an example, inserting the values R1 = 30Ω, R2 = 20kΩ, R3 = 100kΩ, VFB = 0.5V , and VDC = 0 to 3V into equation 1 gives the maximum LED current ILED of 20mA when VDC = 0V (equation 2) and the minimum LED current ILED of 0mA when VDC = 3V (equation 3).

If the values R1 = 30 Ω, R2 = 20k Ω, R3 = 50k Ω, R4 = 50k Ω, VFB = 0.5V , VPWM = 3V , and Duty = 0% are inserted in equation 4, the LED current ILED = 20mA, as shown in equation 5. If the values R1 = 30Ω, R2 = 20kΩ, R3 = 50kΩ, R4 = 50kΩ, VFB = 0.5V , VPWM = 3V , and Duty = 100% are inserted in equation 4, the LED current ILED = 0mA, as shown in equation 6. Taking the above diagram as an example, inserting the values R1 = 30Ω, R2 = 20kΩ, R3 = 50kΩ, R4 = 50kΩ, VFB = 0.5V , VPWM = 3V , and Duty = 0 to 100% into equation 4 gives the maximum LED current I LED of 20mA when Duty = 0% (equation 5) and the minimum LED current I LED of 0mA when Duty = 100% (equa- tion 6).

NIPPON PRECISION CIRCUITS INC.—10 Brightness Adjustment using CE Pin The LED average current can be adjusted by controlling the duty of a PWM signal input on the CE pin. When CE goes from LOW to HIGH, the soft start function operates (with 500 µs constant soft start time) and, there- fore, the LED average current ratio for a given PWM signal duty falls with increasing PWM signal frequency. Taking this into consideration, the recommended PWM control signal has a frequency range of 100 to 400Hz with duty cycle range of 10 to 90%. When adjusting the brightness using the CE pin, a ripple voltage synchronized to the PWM signal is generated across the output capacitor C OUT. The amplitude of the ripple voltage is determined by the number of LEDs and their forward-bias voltage drop characteristics. If a ceramic capacitor is used for the output capacitor C OUT, an audible noise may be generated due to the ceramic capacitor’s piezoelectric effect. The audible noise level depends on the ceramic capacitor (capacitance, bias dependency, withstand voltage etc.), LEDs (number, forward-bias voltage drop etc.), and mounting board (thickness, mounting conditions etc.), and thus should be verified under actual conditions.
