GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Drives 6 LEDs from 2.6 V to 5.5 V (Li-Ion) input supply
1×/1.5×/2× fractional charge pump to maximize power
efficiency
1% maximum LED current matching
Up to 88% power efficiency over Li-Ion range

Shutdown function
Soft-start limiting in-rush current
The ADM8845 uses charge pump technology to provide the
power required to drive up to six LEDs. The LEDs are used for
backlighting a color LCD display, having regulated constant
current for uniform brightness intensity. The main display can
have up to four LEDs, and the sub display can have one or two
LEDs. The digital CTRL1 and CTRL2 input control pins control
the shutdown operation and the brightness of the main and sub
displays.
To maximize power efficiency, the charge pump can operate in
a 1×, 1.5×, or 2× mode. The charge pump automatically
switches between 1×/1.5×/2× modes, based on the input voltage,
to maintain sufficient drive for the LED anodes at the highest
power efficiency.
APPLICATIONS
Cellular phones with main and sub displays
White LED backlighting
Camera flash/strobes and movie lights
Micro TFT color displays
DSC
PDAs
Improved brightness matching of the LEDs is achieved by a
feedback pin to sense individual LED current with a maximum
matching accuracy of 1%.

THEORY OF OPERATION
An external resistor, RSET, is connected between the ISET pin and
GND. This resistor sets up a reference current, ISET, which is
internally gained up by 120 within the ADM8845 to produce
the ILED currents of up to 30 mA/LED (ILED = ISET × 120 and
ISET = 1.18 V/RSET). The ADM8845 uses six individual current
sinks to individually sense each LED current with a maximum
matching performance of 1%. This current matching performance ensures uniform brightness across a color display.
The ADM8845 charge pump driver for LCD white LED backlights implements a multiple gain charge pump (1×, 1.5×, 2×) to
maintain the correct voltage on the anodes of the LEDs over a
2.6 V to 5.5 V (Li-Ion) input supply voltage. The charge pump
automatically switches between 1×/1.5×/2× modes, based on
the input voltage, to maintain sufficient drive for the LED anodes,
with VCC input voltages as low as 2.6 V. It also includes regulation of the charge pump output voltage for supply voltages up to
5.5 V. The six LEDs of the ADM8845 are arranged into two
groups, main and sub. The main display can have up to four
LEDs, FB1 to FB4, and the sub display can have one or two
LEDs, FB5 and FB6 (see Figure 23). Two digital input control
pins, CTRL1 and CTRL2, control the shutdown operation and
the brightness of the main and sub displays (see Table 5).
The ADM8845 lets the user control the brightness of the white
LEDs with a digital PWM signal applied to CTRL1 and/or
CTRL2. The duty cycle of the applied PWM signal determines
the brightness of the main and/or sub display backlight white
LEDs. The ADM8845 also allows the brightness of the white
LEDs to be controlled using a dc voltage (see Figure 22). Softstart circuitry limits the in-rush current flow at power-up. The
ADM8845 is fabricated using CMOS technology for minimal
power consumption and is packaged in a 16-lead lead frame
chip scale package.

OUTPUT CURRENT CAPABILITY
CURRENT MATCHING
The ADM8845 can drive up to 30 mA of current to each of the
six LEDs given an input voltage of 2.6 V to 5.5 V. The LED
currents have a maximum current matching of 1% between any
two LED currents. An external resistor, RSET, sets the output
current, approximated by the following equation:
The 1% maximum current matching performance is defined by
the following equations:
VOUT − VF ≥ Compliance
where VF is the LED forward voltage. For 20 mA/LED, the
compliance is 0.20 V typical and 0.30 V maximum (see Table 6).
Table 6. ILED, RSET, and Compliance Table
Typical Compliance (V)
0.17
0.20
0.34
When the ADM8845 charge pump is loaded with 180 mA
(six LEDs at 30 mA/LED), the ambient operating temperature
is reduced (see Figure 21).
AUTOMATIC GAIN CONTROL
The automatic gain control block controls the operation of the
charge pump by selecting the appropriate gain for the charge
pump. This maintains sufficient drive for the LED anodes at
the highest power efficiency over a 2.6 V to 5.5 V input supply
range. The charge pump switching thresholds are described in
Table 7.

Minimum Matching Error = [(IMIN − IAVG)/IAVG] × 100
where:
IMAX is the largest ILED current.
IMIN is the smallest ILED current.
BRIGHTNESS CONTROL WITH A DIGITAL PWM
SIGNAL
PWM brightness control provides the widest brightness control
method by pulsing the white LEDs on and off using the digital
input control pins, CTRL1 and/or CTRL2. PWM brightness
control also removes any chromaticity shifts associated with
changing the white LED current, because the LEDs operate
either at zero current or full current (set by RSET).
The digital PWM signal applied with a frequency of 100 Hz to
200 kHz turns the current control sinks on and off using CTRL1
and/or CTRL2. The average current through the LEDs changes
with the PWM signal duty cycle. If the PWM frequency is much
less than 100 Hz, flicker could be seen in the LEDs. For the
ADM8845, zero duty cycle turns off the LEDs, and a 50% duty
cycle results in an average LED current ILED being half the programmed LED current. For example, if RSET is set to program
20 mA/LED, a 50% duty cycle results in an average ILED of
10 mA/LED, ILED being half the programmed LED current.

To regulate the LED currents properly, sufficient headroom
voltage (compliance) must be present. The compliance refers to
the minimum amount of voltage that must be present across the
internal current sinks to ensure that the desired current and
matching performance can be realized. To ensure that the
desired current is obtained, use the following equation to find
the minimum input voltage required:

By applying a digital PWM signal to the digital input control
pins, CTRL1 and/or CTRL2 can adjust the brightness of the sub
and/or main displays. The six white LEDs of the ADM8845 are
organized into two groups: main display, FB1 to FB4, and sub
display, FB5 and FB6. For more information, refer to the Theory
of Operation section.

ADM8845
Data Sheet
The main and sub display brightness of the ADM8845 can be
controlled together or separately by applying a digital PWM
signal to both CTRL1 and CTRL2 pins. The duty cycle of the
applied digital PWM signal determines the brightness of the
main and sub displays together. Varying the duty cycle of the
applied PWM signal also varies the brightness of the main and
sub displays from 0% to 100%.
duty cycle of the applied digital PWM signal. The brightness of
the main display is set to the maximum, which is set by RSET.
By holding CTRL1 low and applying a digital PWM signal to
CTRL2, the sub display is turned off and the main display is
turned on. The brightness of the main display is then determined
by the duty cycle of the applied digital PWM signal.
When CTRL1 and CTRL2 go low, the LED current control
sinks shutdown. Shutdown of the charge pump is delayed by
15 ms. This timeout period (tCP) allows the ADM8845 to
determine if a digital PWM signal is present on CTRL1 and
CTRL2 or if the user has selected a full chip shutdown (see
Figure 25).
By applying a digital PWM signal to CTRL1 and holding CTRL2
low, the sub display is turned on and the main display is turned
off. Then the brightness of the sub display is determined by the
duty cycle of the applied digital PWM signal.
By applying a digital PWM signal to CTRL1 and holding CTRL2
high, the sub display is turned on and the main display is turned
on. Then the brightness of the sub display is determined by the
By holding CTRL1 high and applying a digital PWM signal to
CTRL2, the sub display is turned on and the main display is
turned on. Then the brightness of the main display is determined
by the duty cycle of the applied digital PWM signal. The brightness of the sub display is set to the maximum, which is set by RSET.
If digital PWM brightness control of the LEDs is not required, a
constant logic level 1 (VCC) or 0 (GND) must be applied.
The six white LEDs in the ADM8845 are arranged in two groups,
sub and main. It is possible to configure the six LEDs as in
Table 8. For more information, also refer to Figure 25.

LED BRIGHTNESS CONTROL USING A
DC VOLTAGE APPLIED TO VBRIGHT
Adding two external resistors and a capacitor, as shown in
Figure 26, can also be used to control PWM brightness. This
PWM brightness control method can be used instead of CTRL1
and/or CTRL2 digital PWM brightness control. With this configuration, the CTRL1 and CTRL2 digital logic pins can be used
to control shutdown of the white LEDs, while VPWM can be used
to control the brightness of all the white LEDs by applying a
high frequency PWM signal (amplitude 0 V to 2.5 V) to drive
an R-C-R filter on the ISET pin of the ADM8845. A 0% PWM
duty cycle corresponds to 20 mA/LED, while a 100% PWM
duty cycle corresponds to a 0 mA/LED. At PWM frequencies
above 5 kHz, C5 may be reduced (see Figure 26). To have 20 mA
flowing in each LED, the amplitude of the PWM signal must be
0 V and 2.5 V only.
By adding one resistor, as in Figure 22, this configuration can
control the brightness of the white LEDs using a dc voltage
applied to the VBRIGHT node. Figure 27 shows an application
example of LED brightness control using a dc voltage with a
amplitude of 0 V to 2.5 V, applied to VBRIGHT.

LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS AND NOISE
Because of the s switching behavior of the ADM8845, PCB
trace layout is an important consideration. To ensure optimum
performance, a ground plane should be used, and all capacitors
(C1, C2, C3, C4) must be located with minimal track lengths to
the pins of the ADM8845.

DRIVING FEWER THAN SIX LEDs
GND
The ADM8845 can be operated with fewer than six LEDs in
parallel by simply leaving the unused FBx pins floating or
connected to GND. For example, Figure 28 shows five LEDs
being powered by the ADM8845, and Figure 29 shows three
main LEDs and one sub LED.
04867-0-029
If an LED is shorted, the ADM8845 continues to drive the
remaining LEDs with ILED per LED (ILED = ISET × 120 mA). This
is because the ADM8845 uses six internal currents sinks to
produce the LED current. If an LED is shorted, the ADM8845
continues to sink (ISET × 120 mA) as programmed by RSET
through the shorted LED.

DRIVING FLASH LEDS
DRIVING CAMERA LIGHT, MAIN, AND SUB LEDs
The ADM8845 can be operated with any two FBx pins used in
parallel to double the combined LED current supplied by the
ADM8845. For example, if three flash LEDs need to be driven
with 60 mA/LED, the ADM8845 can be configured as in
Figure 31 (see also Figure 21).
The ADM8845 can be configured to power a camera light that
is composed of four white LEDs in parallel, along with the main
and sub display bundled into one package. FB1 to FB4 now
power the camera light, and FB5 and FB6 power the main
display. The sub display LED is powered from the ADM8845 by
using an external current mirror to control the current flowing
through the sub white LED (see Figure 32). All white LEDs have
15 mA/LED. Total load on the ADM8845 charge pump is
therefore 105 mA, and the maximum load on the ADM8845
charge pump is 180 mA (see Figure 21).

CTRL1 controls the flash on/off, and CTRL2 controls the backlight on/off and brightness control. Because the RSET resistor sets
the current that each of the six current control blocks can sink,
a PWM signal is used to change the current in the backlight
from 20 mA to 5 mA/LED. The CTRL2 duty cycle is 15/20 to
give 15 mA/backlight LED.
DRIVING FOUR BACKLIGHT WHITE LEDS AND
FLASH LEDS
The ADM8845 can be configured to power four backlight white
LEDs and a camera flash, bundled into one package. FB1 to FB4
power the backlight light, FB5 and FB6 power two of the flash
LEDs, while the third is powered by an external current mirror
to control the current flowing through the third flash LED (see
Figure 33). All the backlight white LEDs have 15 mA/LED, and
the flash current is 20 mA/LED. The total load on the
ADM8845 charge pump is 120 mA; the maximum load on
the ADM8845 charge pump is 180 mA (see Figure 21).

The ADM8845 power efficiency (η) equations are the following:
The ADM8845 driving six white LEDs with a 20 mA/LED at
VCC = 3.4 V (1.5× mode) and LED VF = 4.5 V.
η = POUT/PIN
PIN = ((VCC × ILOAD × Gain) + (IQ × VCC))
POUT = 6 × (VF × ILED)
PIN = ((VCC × ILOAD × Gain) + (VCC × IQ))
PIN = ((3.4 × 120 mA × 1.5) + (3.4 × 2.6 mA))
PIN = ((0.612) + (0.00884))
PIN = 0.62084
where:
Gain is equal to the charge pump mode (1×, 1.5×, 2×).
IQ is the quiescent current of the ADM8845, 2.6 mA.
VF is the LED forward voltage.
