•
The backlight boost provides the power to bias four
parallel LED strings with up to 29-V total output
voltage. The 11-bit LED current is programmable via
the I2C bus and/or controlled via a logic level PWM
input from 60 µA to 30 mA. Each LED string can be
independently enabled or disabled to provide zone
dimming capabilities. The backlight boost can be
operated efficiently with an inductance range from
4.7 µH to 15 µH, allowing for efficiency and solution
size optimization.
The LCD bias boost provides the power to both a
positive LDO and an inverting charge pump. Both
positive and negative bias supplies have
programmable output voltages of ±4 V to ±6.5 V with
50-mV steps and up to ±80 mA of current capability.
An auto-sequencing feature provides a programmed
delay from positive to negative bias activation, with
additional programmable voltage slew rate control.
Two wake-up modes allow both bias outputs to be
controlled with a single external signal and stay active
while consuming very low quiescent current.

Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only, which do not imply functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under Recommended
Operating Conditions. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
All voltages are with respect to the potential at the AGND pin.
In applications where high power dissipation and/or poor package thermal resistance is present, the maximum ambient temperature may
have to be derated. Maximum ambient temperature (TA-MAX) is dependent on the maximum operating junction temperature (TJ-MAX-OP =
125°C), the maximum power dissipation of the device in the application (PD-MAX), and the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance of the
part/package in the application (RθJA), as given by the following equation: TA-MAX = TJ-MAX-OP – (RθJA × PD-MAX).

Output current accuracy is the difference between the actual value of the output current and programmed value of this current.
LED current matching is the maximum difference between any string current and the average string current, divided by the average
string current. This is calculated as (ILEDX – ILED_AVE) / ILED_AVE × 100.
LED current step size from code to code in exponential mode is typically 0.304%, given as (1 – (ILED(CODE+1) / ILED(CODE)).

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The LM36274 is a single-chip, complete backlight and LCM power solution. The device operates over the 2.7-V
to 5-V input voltage range.
The backlight block consists of an inductive boost plus four current sink white-LED drivers designed to power
from one to four LED strings with up to six LEDs each (up to 28 V typical), with a maximum of 30 mA per string.
A higher number of LEDs per string can be supported if the total output power requirement for the boost does not
exceed 2.5 Watts. The power for the LED strings comes from an integrated asynchronous backlight boost
converter with three selectable switching frequencies to optimize performance or solution area. LED current is
regulated by the low-headroom current sinks. The inductive backlight boost automatically adjusts its output
voltage to keep the active current sinks in regulation, while minimizing current sink headroom voltage. The 11-bit
LED current is set via an I2C interface, via a logic level PWM input, or a combination of both.
The LCM bias power portion of the LM36274 consists of a synchronous LCM bias boost converter, inverting
charge pump, and an integrated LDO. The LCM positive bias voltage VPOS (up to 6.5 V) is post-regulated from
the LCM bias boost converter output voltage. The LCM negative bias voltage VNEG (down to –6.5 V) is
generated from the LCM bias boost converter output using a regulated inverting charge pump.
The LM36274 flexible control interface consists of an HWEN active low reset input, LCM_EN1 and LCM_EN2
inputs for VPOS and VNEG enable control, PWM input for content adaptive backlight control (CABC), and an
I2C-compatible interface.
Additionally, there is a flag register with flag and status bits. The user can read back this register and determine if
a fault or warning message has been generated.

7.3 Features Description
7.3.1 Enabling the LM36274
The LM36274 has a logic level input HWEN which serves as the master enable/disable for the device. When
HWEN is low the device is disabled, the registers are reset to their default state, the I2C bus is inactive, and the
device is placed in a low-power shutdown mode. When HWEN is forced high the device is enabled, and I2C
writes are allowed to the device.

Features Description (continued)
7.3.2
Backlight
The high voltage required by the LED strings is generated with an asynchronous backlight boost converter. An
adaptive voltage control loop automatically adjusts the output voltage based on the voltage over the LED drivers
LED1, LED2, LED3 and LED4. The LM36274 has three switching frequency modes, 1 MHz, 500 kHz, and
250 kHz. These are set via the BL_FREQ Select bit, register 0x03 bit[7] and by utilizing the auto-frequency
feature (refer to Auto Switching Frequency). Operation in low-frequency mode results in better efficiency at
lighter load currents due to the decreased switching losses. Operation in high-frequency mode gives better
efficiency at higher load currents due to the reduced inductor current ripple and the resulting lower conduction
losses in the MOSFET and inductor.

Features Description (continued)
7.3.2.1 Current Sink Enable
Each current sink in the device has a separate enable input. This allows for a one-string, two-string, three-string
or four-string application. Once the correct LED string configuration is programmed and a non-zero code is
written to the brightness registers, the device can be enabled by writing the backlight enable bit high (register
0x08 bit[4]).
The default settings for the device are backlight enable bit set to 0, all backlight strings disabled, PWM input
disabled, linear mapped mode, and the brightness level set to 30 mA per string.
When PWM is enabled, the LM36274 actively monitors the PWM input. After a non-zero PWM duty cycle is
detected, the LM36274 multiplies the duty cycle with the programmed I2C brightness code to give an 11-bit
brightness value between 60 µA and 30 mA. Figure 31 and Figure 32 describe the start-up timing for operation
with I2C controlled current and with PWM controlled current.

The LM36274 backlight can be enabled or disabled in various ways. When disabled, the device is considered
shut down, and the quiescent current drops to ISHDN. When the device is in standby, it returns to the ISTANDBY
current level retaining all programmed register values. Table 1 describes the different backlight operating states
for the LM36274.

7.3.2.2 Brightness Mapping
There are two different ways to map the brightness code (or PWM duty cycle) to the LED current: linear and
exponential mapping.
7.3.2.2.1 Linear Mapping
For linear mapped mode the LED current increases proportionally to the 11-bit brightness code and follows the
relationship:
ILED = 45.37 µA + 14.63 µA × Code
(1)
2
This is valid from codes 1 to 2047. Code 0 programs 0 current. Code is an 11-bit code that can be the I C
brightness code or the product of the I2C brightness code and the PWM duty cycle.
7.3.2.2.2 Exponential Mapping
In exponential mapped mode the LED current follows the relationship:
ILED = 60 µA × 1.003040572Code
(2)
This results in an LED current step size of approximately 0.304% per code. This is valid for codes from 1 to
2047. Code 0 programs 0 current. Code is an 11-bit code that can be the I2C brightness code or the product of
the I2C brightness code and the PWM duty cycle. Figure 33 details the LED current exponential response.
The 11-bit (0.304%) per code step is small enough such that the transition from one code to the next in terms of
LED brightness is not distinguishable to the eye. This, therefore, gives a perfectly smooth brightness increase
between adjacent codes.

7.3.2.3 Backlight Brightness Control Modes
The LM36274 has 2 brightness control modes:
1. I2C only brightness control
2. I2C × PWM brightness control
7.3.2.3.1 I2C Brightness Control (PWM Pin Disabled)
If the PWM pin is disabled the I2C brightness registers are in control of the LED current, and the PWM input is
disabled. The brightness data (BRT) is the concatenation of the two brightness registers (3 LSBs) and (8 MSBs)
(registers 0x04 and 0x05, respectively). The LED current only changes when the MSBs are written, meaning that
to do a full 11-bit current change via I2C, first the 3 LSBs are written and then the 8 MSBs are written. In this
mode the ramper only controls the time from one I2C brightness set-point to the next Figure 34.

7.3.2.3.2 I2C × PWM Brightness Control (PWM Pin Enabled)
If the PWM pin is enabled both the I2C brightness code and the PWM duty-cycle control the LED current.
With linear mapping the PWM duty cycle-to-current response is approximated by Equation 3:
ILED = 45.37 µA + 14.63 µA × I2C BRGT CODE × PWM D/C
(3)
With exponential mapping the PWM duty cycle-to-current response is approximated by Equation 4:
ILED = 60 µA × 1.003040572I2C BRGT CODE × PWM D/C
(4)
7.3.2.3.2.1 PWM Ramper
The PWM ramp option (register 0x02 bit[1]) determines whether the ramper is active or inactive during a change
in PWM duty cycle.
The ramper smooths the transition from one brightness value to another. Ramp time can be adjusted from 0 ms
to 8000 ms with LED Current Ramp [3:0] bits (register 0x03 bits [6:3]). Ramp time is used for sloping both up and
down. Ramp time always remains the same regardless of the amount of change in brightness.
In PWM mode the behavior of the ramper depends on the state of the PWM Ramp bit (register 0x02, bit [1]). If
the PWM Ramp bit is set to 0, there is no LED current ramping between PWM duty cycle changes. The PWM
duty cycle is multiplied with the I2C brightness code at the output of the ramper (see Figure 35). If this bit is set to
1, ramping is achieved between I2C × PWM currents (see Figure 36).

7.3.2.4 Boost Switching Frequency
The LM36274 has two programmable switching frequencies: 500 kHz and 1 MHz. These are set via the Backlight
Configuration 2 register (register 0x03 bit [7]). Operation at 1 MHz is primarily beneficial when efficiency at high
load current is more important. For maximum efficiency across the entire load current range the device
incorporates an automatic frequency shift mode (see Auto Switching Frequency).
7.3.2.4.1 Minimum Inductor Select
The LM36274 can use inductors in the range of 4.7 µH to 15 µH. In order to optimize the converter response to
changes in VIN and load, the Backlight Boost L Select bits (register 0x11 bits [7:6]) must be selected depending
on the nominal value of inductance chosen.
7.3.2.5 Boost Feedback Gain Select
The Boost Integral and Proportional Feedback Gain Select bits in Option 2 register (bits [3:2] and bits[5:4] in
register 0x11) contain adjustment parameters for the LM36274 internal loop gain. The optimized settings using a
1-uF capacitor at BL_OUT are the default settings of 01 and 11 for Integral and Proportional, respectively.
7.3.2.6 Auto Switching Frequency
To take advantage of frequency vs load dependent losses, the LM36274 can automatically change the boost
switching frequency based on the programmed brightness code. In addition to the register programmable
switching frequencies of 500 kHz and 1 MHz, the auto-frequency mode also incorporates a low-frequency
selection of 250 kHz. It is important to note that the 250-kHz frequency is only accessible in auto-frequency
mode and has a maximum boost duty cycle (DMAX) of 50%.
Auto-frequency mode operates by using two programmable registers (Backlight Auto Frequency Low Threshold
(register 0x06) and Backlight Auto Frequency High Threshold (register 0x07)). The high threshold determines the
switchover from 1 MHz to 500 kHz. The low threshold determines the switchover from 500 kHz to 250 kHz. Both
the High and Low Threshold registers take an 8-bit code which is compared against the 8 MSB of the brightness
register (register 0x05). Table 2 details the boundaries for this mode.

(Register 0x03 bit[7]) across the entire LED current range. Table 3 provides a guideline for selecting the auto
frequency threshold settings at VIN = 3.7 V. The actual setting must be verified in the application and optimized
for the desired input voltage range.

7.3.2.7 PWM Input
The PWM input is a sampled input which converts the input duty cycle information into an 11-bit brightness code.
The use of a sampled input eliminates any noise and current ripple that traditional PWM controlled LED drivers
are susceptible to. It also allows the PWM duty cycle to LED current response to have the same high accuracy
and matching that is offered in the I2C brightness control.
The PWM input uses logic level thresholds with VIH_MIN = 1.25 V and VIL_MAX = 0.4 V. Because this is a sampled
input, there are limits on the maximum PWM input frequency as well as the resolution that can be achieved.
7.3.2.7.1 PWM Sample Frequency
There are three selectable sample rates for the PWM input. The choice of sample rate depends on three factors:
1. Required PWM resolution (input duty cycle to brightness code, with 11 bits maximum)
2. PWM input frequency
3. Efficiency
7.3.2.7.1.1 PWM Resolution and Input Frequency Range
The PWM input frequency range is 50 Hz to 50 kHz. To achieve the full 11-bit maximum resolution of PWM duty
cycle to the LED brightness code (BRT), the input PWM duty cycle must be ≥ 11 bits, and the PWM sample
period (1/ƒSAMPLE) must be smaller than the minimum PWM input pulse width. Figure 37 shows the possible
brightness code resolutions based on the input PWM frequency. The minimum PWM frequency for each PWM
sample rate is described in PWM Timeout.

7.3.2.7.2 PWM Hysteresis
To prevent jitter at the input PWM signal from feeding through the PWM path and causing oscillations in the LED
current, the LM36274 offers 4 selectable hysteresis settings. The hysteresis options for the 1-MHz and 4-MHz
PWM sample rate settings are 1, 2, 4, and 6 bits and for the 24-MHz PWM sample rate setting 0, 1, 2, and 3 bits.
The hysteresis works by forcing a specific number of 11-bit LSB code transitions to occur in the input duty cycle
before the LED current changes. Table 6 describes the hysteresis. The hysteresis only applies during the change
in direction of brightness currents. Once a change in the direction of the LED current has taken place, the PWM
input must over come the required LSB(s) of the hysteresis setting before the brightness change takes effect.
Once the initial hysteresis has been overcome and the direction in brightness change remains the same, the
PWM to current response changes with no hysteresis.

7.3.2.7.3 PWM Step Response
The LED current response due to a step change in the PWM input is approximately 2 ms to go from minimum
LED current to maximum LED current.
7.3.2.7.4 PWM Timeout
The LM36274 PWM timeout feature turns off the boost output when the PWM is enabled and there is no PWM
pulse detected. The timeout duration changes based on the PWM sample rate selected which results in a
minimum supported PWM input frequency. The sample rate, timeout, and minimum supported PWM frequency
are summarized in Table 7.

7.3.2.7.5 PWM-to-Digital Code Readback
In PWM mode, registers 0x12 and 0x13 contain the PWM duty cycle to the 11-bit code conversion information.
Register 0x12 contains the 8 LSBs of the brightness code and register 0x13 the 3 MSBs. To translate this
reading to the actual LED current setting of the LM36274, convert it to the corresponding duty cycle and multiply
it by the brightness level setting in the brightness registers (0x04 and 0x05). For example, if the 11-bit brightness
code is set to 0x554 (decimal 1364) and the PWM-to-digital code readback is 0x3FF (decimal 1023) in linear
mode, the expected LED current is approximately: ILED = 45.37 µA + ( ( 1023 / 2047 ) × 14.63 × 1364 ) µA =
10.018 mA (approximately 50% duty cycle).
7.3.2.8 Regulated Headroom Voltage
In order to optimize efficiency, current accuracy, and string-to-string matching the LED current sink regulated
headroom voltage (VHR) varies with the target LED current. Figure 39 details the typical variation of VHR with LED
current. This allows for increased solution efficiency as the dropout voltage of the LED driver changes.
Furthermore, in order to ensure that all current sinks remain in regulation whenever there is a mismatch in string
voltages, the minimum headroom voltage between VLED1, VLED2, VLED3, VLED4 becomes the regulation point
for the boost converter. For example, if the LEDs connected to LED1 require 12 V, the LEDs connected to LED2
require 12.5 V, the LEDs connected to LED3 require 13 V and the LEDs connected to LED4 require 13.5 V at the
programmed current, then the voltage at LED1 is VHR + 1.5 V, the voltage at LED2 is VHR + 1 V, the voltage at
LED3 is VHR + 0.5, and the voltage at LED4 is regulated at VHR. In other words, the boost makes the cathode of
the highest voltage LED string the regulation point.

7.3.2.9 Backlight Fault Protection and Faults
7.3.2.9.1 Backlight Overvoltage Protection (OVP)
The LM36274 provides an OVP that monitors the LED boost output voltage (VBL_OUT) and protects BL_OUT and
BL_SW from exceeding safe operating voltages. The OVP threshold can be set to 17 V, 21 V, 25 V, or 29 V with
register 0x02 bits[7:5]. Once an OVP event has been detected, the BL_OVP flag is set in the Flags Register, and
the subsequent behavior depends on the state of bit OVP_Mode in the Backlight Configuration 1 Register: If
OVP_Mode is set to 0, as soon as VBL_OUT falls below the backlight OVP threshold, the LM36274 begins
switching again. If OVP_Mode is set to 1 and the device detects three occurrences of VBL_OUT > VOVP_BL while
any of the enabled current sink headroom voltages drops below 40 mV, the Backlight Boost OVP flag is set, the
Backlight Enable bit is cleared, and the LM36274 enters standby mode. When the device is shut down due to a
Backlight Boost OVP fault, the Flags register must be read back before the device can be reenabled.

7.3.2.9.2 Backlight Overcurrent Protection (OCP)
The LM36274 has 4 selectable OCP thresholds (900 mA, 1200 mA, 1500 mA, and 1800 mA). These are
programmable in register 0x11 bits[1:0]. The OCP threshold is a cycle-by-cycle current limit and is detected in
the internal low-side NFET. Once the threshold is hit the NFET turns off for the remainder of the switching period.
If enough overcurrent threshold events occur, the BL_OCP Flag (register 0x0F, bit[0]) is set. To avoid transient
conditions from inadvertently setting the BL_OCP Flag, a pulse density counter monitors OCP threshold events
over a 128-µs period. If 8 consecutive 128-µs periods occur where the pulse density count has found 2 or more
OCP events, then the BL_OCP Flag is set.
During device start-up and during brightness code changes, there is a 4-ms blank time where BL OCP events
are ignored. As a result, if the device starts up in an overcurrent condition there is an approximate 5-ms delay
before the BL_OCP Flag is set.
7.3.3 LCM Bias
7.3.3.1 Display Bias Boost Converter (VVPOS, VVNEG)
A single high-efficiency boost converter provides a positive voltage rail, VLCM_OUT, which serves as the power rail
for the LCM VPOS and VNEG outputs.
• The VVPOS output LDO has a programmable range from 4 V up to 6.5 V with 50-mV steps and can supply up
to 80 mA.
• The VVNEG output is generated from a regulated, inverting charge pump and has an adjustable range of
–6.5 V up to –4 V with 50-mV steps and a maximum load of 80 mA.
Boost voltage also has a programmable range from 4 V up to 7.15 V with 50-mV steps. Refer to Table 22,
Table 23 and Table 24 for VLCM_OUT, VVPOS and VVNEG voltage settings. When selecting a suitable boost-output
voltage, the following estimation can be used: VLCM_OUT = max(VVPOS, |VVNEG|) + VHR, where VHR ≥ 200 mV for
lower currents and VHR ≥ 300 mV for higher currents. When the device input voltage (VIN) is greater than the
programmed LCM boost output voltage, the boost voltage is regulated to VIN + 100 mV. VVPOS and VVNEG voltage
settings cannot be changed while they are enabled. VVPOS and VVNEG register setting targets take effect only after
the outputs are disabled and re-enabled. However, the VLCM_OUT target changes immediately upon a register
write.

The LCM Bias outputs can be controlled either by pins LCM_EN1 and LCM_EN2 or register bits VPOS_EN and
VNEG_EN, register 0x09 bits[2:1]. Setting bit EXT_EN, register 0x09 bit[0], to 1 allows pins LCM_EN1 and
LCM_EN2 to control VPOS and VNEG, respectively, while setting this bit to 0 yields control to bits VPOS_EN
and VNEG_EN. Refer to Table 8 for LCM bias control information.

ACTION
Standby implies that VPOS and VNEG are either high impedance or being internally pulled low via the active pulldown, and that the
LCM boost is off. Shutdown implies that the device is in reset and no I2C communication is possible.

SNVSAJ9D – FEBRUARY 2016 – REVISED MARCH 2018
7.3.3.3 Wake-up Mode
If wake-up mode is selected the LM36274 allows on/off control of both VPOS and VNEG with only one external
pin (LCM_EN2). Any combination of VPOS or VNEG can be turned on based on the state of bits VPOS_EN and
VNEG_EN in register 0x09. In these modes the internal shutdown timing of the VPOS and VNEG blocks is
modified to allow for lower quiescent current in standby mode, therefore reducing the average current
consumption during a sequence of on/off events.
There are two wake-up modes available on the LM36274: wake1 and wake2.
7.3.3.3.1 Wake1 Mode
In wake1 mode the LM36274 passes VIN through to the LCM boost output and the enabled VPOS, VNEG
outputs. Due to the impedance of the LCM boost, the VPOS LDO and the VNEG charge pump, the respective
outputs are regulated close to VIN only at very light load current and droop below VIN as the load increases.
7.3.3.3.2 Wake2 Mode
In wake2 mode the LM36274 regulates the LCM boost output as well as the enabled VPOS and VNEG outputs
to their programmed voltage.
7.3.3.4 Active Discharge
An optional active discharge is available for the VPOS and VNEG output rails. An internal switch resistance for
this discharge function is implemented on each output rail. The VPOS active discharge function is enabled with
register 0x09 bit[4] and the VNEG active discharge with register 0x09 bit[3].
7.3.3.5 LCM Bias Protection and Faults
The LCM bias block of the LM36274 provides three protection mechanisms in order to prevent damage to the
device. Note that none of these have any effect on backlight operation.
7.3.3.5.1 LCM Overvoltage (OVP) Protection
The LM36274 provides OVP that monitors the LCM bias boost output voltage (VLCM_OUT) and protects LCM_OUT
and LCM_SW from exceeding safe operating voltages. The OVP threshold is set to 7.8 V (typical). If an LCM
bias overvoltage condition is detected, the LCM_OVP flag, register 0x0F bit[5], is set. Once the OVP condition is
removed, the flag can be cleared with an I2C read back of the register. An LCM OVP condition does not cause
the LCM bias to shut down; it is a report-only flag.
7.3.3.5.2 VPOS Short-Circuit Protection
If the current at VPOS exceeds 180 mA (typical), the LM36274 sets the VPOS_SHORT flag, register 0x0F bit[3].
A readback of register 0x0F is required to clear the flag. The outcome of a VPOS_SHORT detection depends on
the configuration of the bias short-circuit mode option, register 0x0A bits[7:6]. The options are report-only flag,
shutdown VPOS/VNEG, and shutdown VPOS/VNEG and backlight. To prevent narrow spikes from falsely
triggering a VPOS short-circuit condition, the LM36274 provides four programmable VPOS short-circuit filter
options: 100 µs, 500 µs, 1 ms, and 2 ms. These are selected in register 0x0B bits[3:2].
7.3.3.5.3 VNEG Short-Circuit Protection
If the voltage at VNEG rises (towards GND) to above 84% of its programmed value (typical), the LM36274 sets
the VNEG_SHORT flag, register 0x0F bit[2]. A readback of register 0x0F is required to clear the flag. The
outcome of a VNEG_SHORT detection depends on the configuration of the bias short-circuit mode option,
register 0x0A bits[7:6]. The options are report-only flag, shut down VPOS/VNEG, and shut down VPOS/VNEG
and backlight. To prevent narrow spikes from falsely triggering a VNEG short circuit condition, the LM36274
provides four programmable VNEG short circuit filter options: 100 µs, 500 µs, 1 ms, and 2 ms. These are
selected in register 0x0B bits[1:0].

7.3.4 Software Reset
Bit[7] (SWR_RESET) of the Enable Register (0x08) is a software reset bit. Writing a 1 to this bit resets all I2C
register values to their default values. Once the LM36274 has finished resetting all registers, it auto-clears the
SWR_RESET bit.
7.3.5 HWEN Input
The HWEN pin is a global hardware enable for the LM36274. This pin must be pulled to logic HIGH to enable the
device and the I2C-compatible interface. There is a 300-kΩ internal resistor between HWEN and GND. When this
pin is at logic LOW, the LM36274 is placed in shutdown, the I2C-compatible interface is disabled, and the internal
registers are reset to their default state. TI recommends that VIN has risen above 2.7 V before setting HWEN
HIGH.
7.3.6 Thermal Shutdown (TSD)
The LM36274 has TSD protection which shuts down the backlight boost, all backlight current sinks, LCM bias
boost, inverting charge pump, and the LDO when the die temperature reaches or exceeds 140°C (typical). The
I2C interface remains active during a TSD event. If a TSD fault occurs the TSD fault is set (register 0x0F bit[6]).
The fault is cleared by an I2C read of register 0x0F or by toggling the HWEN pin.
7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Modes of Operation
Shutdown: The LM36274 is in shutdown when the HWEN pin is low.
Standby:
After the HWEN pin is set high the LM36274 goes into standby mode. In standby mode, I2C writes
are allowed but references, bias currents, the oscillator, LCM powers, and backlight are all disabled
to keep the quiescent supply current low (2 µA typical).
Normal mode: Both main blocks of the LM36274 are independently controlled. For enabling each of the blocks
in all available modes, see Table 1 and Table 8.

7.5 Programming
7.5.1 I2C-Compatible Serial Bus Interface
7.5.1.1 Interface Bus Overview
The I2C-compatible synchronous serial interface provides access to the programmable functions and registers on
the device. This protocol uses a two-wire interface for bidirectional communications between the devices
connected to the bus. The two interface lines are the Serial Data Line (SDA) and the Serial Clock Line (SCL).
These lines must be connected to a positive supply via a pullup resistor and remain HIGH even when the bus is
idle.
Every device on the bus is assigned a unique address and acts as either a Master or a Slave, depending
whether it generates or receives the serial clock (SCL).
7.5.1.2 Data Transactions
One data bit is transferred during each clock pulse. Data is sampled during the high state of the SCL.
Consequently, throughout the clock’s high period, the data remains stable. Any changes on the SDA line during
the high state of the SCL and in the middle of a transaction, aborts the current transaction. New data is sent
during the low SCL state. This protocol permits a single data line to transfer both command/control information
and data using the synchronous serial clock.

Figure 42. Data Validity
Each data transaction is composed of a start condition, a number of byte transfers (set by the software), and a
stop condition to terminate the transaction. Every byte written to the SDA bus must be 8 bits long and is
transferred with the most significant bit first. After each byte, an acknowledge signal must follow. The following
sections provide further details of this process.

Programming (continued)
The Master device on the bus always generates the start and stop conditions (control codes). After a Start
Condition is generated, the bus is considered busy, and it retains this status until a certain time after a stop
condition is generated. A high-to-low transition of the data line (SDA) while the clock (SCL) is high indicates a
start condition. A low-to-high transition of the SDA line while the SCL is high indicates a stop condition.
SDA
SCL
S
P
START condition
STOP condition
Figure 44. Start and Stop Conditions
In addition to the first start condition, a repeated start condition can be generated in the middle of a transaction.
This allows another device to be accessed, or a register read cycle.
7.5.1.3 Acknowledge Cycle
The acknowledge cycle consists of two signals: the acknowledge clock pulse the master sends with each byte
transferred, and the acknowledge signal sent by the receiving device.
The master generates the acknowledge clock pulse on the ninth clock pulse of the byte transfer. The transmitter
releases the SDA line (permits it to go high) to allow the receiver to send the acknowledge signal. The receiver
must pull down the SDA line during the acknowledge clock pulse and ensure that SDA remains low during the
high period of the clock pulse, thus signaling the correct reception of the last data byte and its readiness to
receive the next byte.
7.5.1.4 Acknowledge After Every Byte Rule
The master generates an acknowledge clock pulse after each byte transfer. The receiver sends an acknowledge
signal after every byte received.
There is one exception to the acknowledge after every byte rule. When the master is the receiver, it must
indicate to the transmitter an end of data by not-acknowledging (negative acknowledge) the last byte clocked out
of the slave. This negative acknowledge still includes the acknowledge clock pulse (generated by the master),
but the SDA line is not pulled down.
7.5.1.5 Addressing Transfer Formats
Each device on the bus has a unique slave address. The LM36274 operates as a slave device with the 7-bit
address. If an 8-bit address is used for programming, the 8th bit is 1 for read and 0 for write. The 7-bit address
for the device is 0x11.
Before any data is transmitted, the master transmits the address of the slave being addressed. The slave device
sends an acknowledge signal on the SDA line, once it recognizes its address. The slave address is the first
seven bits after a Start Condition. The direction of the data transfer (R/W) depends on the bit sent after the slave
address — the eighth bit.
When the slave address is sent, each device in the system compares this slave address with its own. If there is a
match, the device considers itself addressed and sends an acknowledge signal. Depending upon the state of the
R/W bit (1: read, 0: write), the device acts as a transmitter or a receiver.

8 Application and Implementation
NOTE
Information in the following applications sections is not part of the TI component
specification, and TI does not warrant its accuracy or completeness. TI’s customers are
responsible for determining suitability of components for their purposes. Customers should
validate and test their design implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
The LM36274 integrates an LCD backlight driver and LCM positive and negative bias voltages into a single
device. The backlight boost converter generates the high voltage required for the LEDs. The device can drive
one, two, three, or four LED strings with up to eight white LEDs per string. Positive and negative bias voltages
are post-regulated from the LCM bias boost output voltage. The LM36274 offers high performance, is highly
configurable, and can support multiple LED configurations as well as independent control of the bias outputs.

The number of LED strings, number of series LEDs, and minimum input voltage are needed in order to calculate
the peak input current. This information guides the designer to make the appropriate backlight boost inductor
selection for the application. The LM36274 backlight boost converter output voltage (VOUT) is calculated as
follows: number of series LEDs × Vƒ + 0.31 V. The LM36274 boost converter output current (IOUT) is calculated
as follows: number of parallel LED strings × 30 mA. The LM36274 peak input current is calculated using
Equation 5.
8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.2.1 Component Selection
Table 30 shows examples of external components for the LM36274. Boost converter output capacitors can be
replaced with dual output capacitors of lower capacitance as long as the minimum effective capacitance
requirement is met. DC bias effect of the ceramic capacitors must be taken into consideration when choosing the
output capacitors. This is especially true for the high output-voltage backlight-boost converter.

8.2.2.1.1 Inductor Selection
The LM36274 backlight boost requires a typical inductance in the range of 4.7 µH to 15 µH. To ensure boost
stability the Backlight Boost L Select bit (register 0x11 bits [7:6]) must be selected depending on the value of
inductance chosen. Use the 4.7-µH setting with a 6.8-µH inductor.
The LCM boost is internally compensated for a typical inductance in the range of 1 µH to 2.2 µH. If the LCM
boost output setting is greater than 6.3 V a 2.2-µH inductor must be used.

SNVSAJ9D – FEBRUARY 2016 – REVISED MARCH 2018
There are two main considerations when choosing an inductor: the inductor RMS current rating must be greater
than the RMS inductor current for the application, and the inductor saturation current must be greater than the
peak inductor current for the application. 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 the application should be requested from the
manufacturer. The saturation current must be greater than the sum of the maximum load current and the worstcase average-to-peak inductor current. When the boost device is boosting (VOUT > VIN) the inductor is one of the
largest area of efficiency loss in the circuit. Therefore, choosing an inductor with the lowest possible series
resistance is important, especially for an LCM bias converter. For proper inductor operation and circuit
performance, ensure that the inductor saturation and the peak current limit setting of the LM36274 are greater
than IPEAK in Equation 5:
IPEAK
ILOAD
VOUT
VIN u (VOUT - VIN u K)
u
+ 'ILOAD where 'ILOAD =
K
VIN
2 u fSW u L u VOUT

See detailed information in Understanding Boost Power Stages in Switch Mode Power Supplies
http://focus.ti.com/lit/an/slva061/slva061.pdf. Power Stage Designer™ Tools can be used for the boost
calculation: http://www.ti.com/tool/powerstage-designer.
Also, the peak current calculated in Equation 5 is different from the peak inductor current setting (ISAT). The
NMOS switch current limit setting (ICL_MIN) must be greater than IPEAK from Equation 5.
8.2.2.1.2 Boost Output Capacitor Selection
At least an 1-μF capacitor is recommended for the backlight boost converter output capacitor. A high-quality
ceramic type X5R or X7R is recommended. Voltage rating must be greater than the maximum output voltage that
is used. The effective output capacitance must always remain higher than 0.4 μF for stable operation.
Table 31 lists possible backlight output capacitors that can be used with the LM36274. Figure 68 shows the DC
bias of the four TDK capacitors. The useful voltage range is determined from the effective output voltage range
for a given capacitor as determined by Equation 6:

For example, with a 10% tolerance, and a 15% temperature coefficient, the DC voltage derating must be ≥ 0.4 /
(0.9 × 0.85) = 0.523 µF. For the C1608X5R1H225K080AB (0603, 50-V) device, the useful voltage range occurs
up to the point where the DC bias derating falls below 0.523 µF, or around 12 V. For configurations where VOUT
is > 15 V, two of these capacitors can be paralleled, or a larger capacitor such as the C2012X5R1H105K085AB
must be used.

For the LCM bias boost output a high-quality 10-μF ceramic type X5R or X7R capacitor is recommended.
Voltage rating must be greater than the maximum output voltage that is used.
8.2.2.1.3 Input Capacitor Selection
Choosing the correct size and type of input capacitor helps minimize the voltage ripple caused by the switching
of the LM36274 boost converters and reduce noise on the input pin that can feed through and disrupt internal
analog signals. For the LM36274 a 10-μF ceramic input capacitor works well. It is important to place the input
capacitor as close to the input (IN) pin as possible. This reduces the series resistance and inductance that can
inject noise into the device due to the input switching currents.

SNVSAJ9D – FEBRUARY 2016 – REVISED MARCH 2018
9 Power Supply Recommendations
The LM36274 is designed to operate from an input voltage supply range from 2.7 V to 5 V. This input supply
must be well regulated and capable to supply the required input current. If the input supply is located far from the
LM36274 additional bulk capacitance may be required in addition to the ceramic bypass capacitors.
10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
•
•
•
•
•
•
Place the boost converter output capacitors as close to the output voltage and GND pins as possible.
Minimize the boost converter switching loops by placing the input capacitors and inductors close to GND and
switch pins.
If possible, route the switching loops on top layer only. For best efficiency, try to minimize copper on the
switch node to minimize switch pin parasitic capacitance while preserving adequate routing width.
VIN input voltage pin must be bypassed to ground with a low-ESR bypass capacitor. Place the capacitor as
close as possible to VIN pin.
Place the output capacitor of the LDO as close to the output pins as possible. Also place the charge pump
flying capacitor and output capacitor close to their respective pins.
Route the internal pins on the second layer. Use offset micro vias to go from top layer to mid-layer1. Avoid
routing the signal traces directly under the switching loops of the boost converters.
