The LED driver current sinks are split into three
independently controlled groups. The primary group
can be configured to drive up to six LEDs for use in
the main phone display. Groups B and C are
provided for driving secondary displays, keypads and
indicator LEDs. All of the LED current sources can be
independently turned on and off providing flexibility to
address different application requirements.
The LM3535 provides multi-zone ambient light
sensing allowing autonomous backlight intensity
control in the event of changing ambient light
conditions. A PWM input is also provided to give the
user the means to adjust the backlight intensity
dynamically based upon the content of the display.
2 Applications
•
•
•
The LM3535 provides excellent efficiency without the
use of an inductor by operating the charge pump in a
gain of 3/2 or in pass mode. The proper gain for
maintaining current regulation is chosen, based on
LED forward voltage, so that efficiency is maximized
over the input voltage range.

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 GND pins.
If Military/Aerospace specified devices are required, contact the Texas Instruments Sales Office/ Distributors for availability and
specifications. All voltages are with respect to the potential at the GND pins.
Internal thermal shutdown circuitry protects the device from permanent damage. Thermal shutdown engages at TJ = 150°C (typical) and
disengages at TJ = 125°C (typical).

Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the component may occur. Recommended Operating Ratings are
conditions under which operation of the device is ensured. Recommended Operating Ratings do not imply ensured performance limits.
For ensured performance limits and associated test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics tables.
All voltages are with respect to the potential at the GND pins.
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 =
110°C), the maximum power dissipation of the device in the application (PD-MAX), and the junction-to ambient thermal resistance of the
device/package in the application (RθJA), as given by the following equation: TA-MAX = TJ-MAX-OP – (RθJA × PD-MAX).

All voltages are with respect to the potential at the GND pins.
Minimum and maximum limits are ensured by design, test, or statistical analysis. Typical numbers are not ensured, but do represent the
most likely norm.
CIN, CVOUT, C1, and C2 : Low-ESR surface-mount ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) used in setting electrical characteristics
For the two groups of current sinks on a part (GroupA and GroupB), the following are determined: the maximum sink current in the
group (MAX), the minimum sink current in the group (MIN), and the average sink current of the group (AVG). For each group, 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 for the Group. The matching figure for a given part is considered to be the highest matching figure of the two Groups.
The typical specification provided is the most likely norm of the matching figure for all parts.
For each Dxxpin, headroom voltage is the voltage across the internal current sink connected to that pin. For Group A, B, and C current
sinks, VHRx = VOUT – VLED. If headroom voltage requirement is not met, LED current regulation will be compromised.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The LM3535 is a white LED driver system based upon an adaptive 3/2× – 1× CMOS charge pump capable of
supplying up to 200 mA of total output current. With three separately controlled groups of constant current sinks,
the LM3535 is an ideal solution for platforms requiring a single white LED driver IC for main display, sub display,
and indicator lighting. The tightly matched current sinks ensure uniform brightness from the LEDs across the
entire small-format display.
Each LED is configured in a common anode configuration, with the peak drive current set to 25 mA. An I2C
compatible interface is used to enable the device and vary the brightness within the individual current sink
Groups. For GroupA, 128 exponentially-spaced analog brightness control levels are available. GroupB and
GroupC have 8 linearly-spaced analog brightness levels.
Additionally, the LM3535 provides 1 inputfor an ambient light sensor to adaptively adjust the diode current based
on ambient conditions, and a PWM pin to allow the diode current to be pulse width modulated to work with a
display driver utilizing dynamic or content adjusted backlight control (DBC or CABC).

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Charge Pump
The input to the 3/2× or 1× charge pump is connected to the VIN pin, and the regulated output of the charge
pump is connected to the VOUT pin. The recommended input voltage range of the LM3535 is 2.7 V to 5.5 V. The
device regulated charge pump has both open loop and closed loop modes of operation. When the device is in
open loop, the voltage at VOUT is equal to the gain times the voltage at the input. When the device is in closed
loop, the voltage at VOUT is regulated to 4.3 V (typical). The charge pump gain transitions are actively selected to
maintain regulation based on LED forward voltage and load requirements.
7.3.2 Diode Current Sinks
Matched currents are ensured with the use of tightly matched internal devices and internal mismatch cancellation
circuitry. There are eight regulated current sinks configurable into 3 different lighting regions.
7.3.3 Ambient Light Sensing (ALS) And Interrupt
The LM3535 provides an ambient light sensing input for use with ambient backlight control. By connecting the
anode of a photo diode / sensor to the sensor input pins, and configuring the appropriate ALS resistors, the
LM3535 can be configured to adjust the diode current to five unique settings, corresponding to four adjustable
light region trip points. Additionally, when the LM3535 determines that an ambient condition has changed, the
interrupt pin, when connected to a pullup resistor toggles to a 0 alerting the controller. See I2C Compatible
Interface for more details regarding the register configurations.
7.3.4 Dynamic Backlight Control Input (PWM Pin)
The pulse width modulation (PWM) pin allows a display driver utilizing dynamic backlight control (DBC) to adjust
the LED brightness based on the content. The PWM input can be turned on or off (Acknowledge or Ignore), and
the polarity can be flipped (active high or active low) through the I2C interface. The current sinks of the LM3535
require approximately 15 µs to reach steady-state target current. This turnon time sets the minimum usable PWM
pulse width for DBC/CABC.
7.3.5 LED Forward Voltage Monitoring
The LM3535 has the ability to switch gains (1× or 3/2×) based on the forward voltage of the LED load. This
ability to switch gains maximizes efficiency for a given load. Forward voltage monitoring occurs on all diode pins.
At higher input voltages, the LM3535 operates in pass mode, allowing the VOUT voltage to track the input voltage.
As the input voltage drops, the voltage on the Dxx pins also drops (VDXX = VVOUT – VLEDx). Once any of the active
Dxx pins reaches a voltage approximately equal to 130 mV, the charge pump will switch to the gain of 3/2. This
switchover ensures that the current through the LEDs never becomes pinched off due to a lack of headroom
across the current sinks. Once a gain transition occurs, the LM3535 remains in the gain of 3/2 until an I2C write
to the part occurs. At that time, the LM3535 re-evaluates the LED conditions and selects the appropriate gain.
Only active Dxx pins are monitored.
7.3.6 Configurable Gain Transition Delay
To optimize efficiency, the LM3535 has a user selectable gain transition delay that allows the part to ignore short
duration input voltage drops. By default, the LM3535 does not change gains if the input voltage dip is shorter
than 3 to 6 milliseconds. There are three selectable gain transition delay ranges available on the LM3535. All
delay ranges are set within the VF Monitor Delay Register. See Internal Registers of LM3535 for more
information regarding the delay ranges.
7.3.7 Hardware Enable (HWEN)
The LM3535 has a hardware enable/reset pin (HWEN) that allows the device to be disabled by an external
controller without requiring an I2C write command. Under normal operation, hold the HWEN pin high (logic 1) to
prevent an unwanted reset. When the HWEN is driven low (logic 0), all internal control registers reset to the
default states, and the device becomes disabled. See the Electrical Characteristics section of the data sheet for
required voltage thresholds.

7.4 Device Functional Modes
7.4.1 Shutdown
The LM3535 enters shutdown mode if HWEN pin is held low. In this mode, the LM3535 has a shutdown current
of 1.7 µA. I2C communication is not possible when in shutdown.
7.4.2 Standby
The LM3535 enters standby mode if HWEN pin is held high and when the ENx bits are set to 0. In this mode, the
LM3535 has a standby current of 1.7 µA. I2C communication is possible when in standby.
7.4.3 Active Mode
The LM3535 enters active mode if HWEN pin is held high and when any of the ENx bits are set to 1. When the
LM3535 is in pass-mode operation, the typical quiescent current drawn is 1.09 mA. When the LM3535 is in
boost-mode operation, the typical quiescent current drawn is 2.86 mA. I2C communication is possible when in
active mode.
7.5 Programming
7.5.1 I2C Compatible Interface
7.5.1.1 Data Validity
The data on SDIO line must be stable during the HIGH period of the clock signal (SCL). In other words, state of
the data line can only be changed when SCL is LOW.

Figure 17. Data Validity Diagram
A pullup resistor between the VIO line and SDIO of the controller must be greater than [(VIO – VOL) / 3 mA] to
meet the VOL requirement on SDIO. Using a larger pullup resistor results in lower switching current with slower
edges, while using a smaller pullup results in higher switching currents with faster edges.
7.5.1.2 Start and Stop Conditions
START and STOP conditions classify the beginning and the end of the I2C session. A START condition is
defined as SDIO signal transitioning from HIGH to LOW while SCL line is HIGH. A STOP condition is defined as
the SDIO transitioning from LOW to HIGH while SCL is HIGH. The I2C master always generates START and
STOP conditions. The I2C bus is considered to be busy after a START condition and free after a STOP condition.
During data transmission, the I2C master can generate repeated START conditions. First START and repeated
START conditions are equivalent, function-wise.

Programming (continued)
7.5.1.3 Transferring Data
Every byte put on the SDIO line must be eight bits long, with the most significant bit (MSB) transferred first. Each
byte of data has to be followed by an acknowledge bit. The acknowledge related clock pulse is generated by the
master. The master releases the SDIO line (HIGH) during the acknowledge clock pulse. The LM3535 pulls down
the SDIO line during the 9th clock pulse, signifying an acknowledge. The LM3535 generates an acknowledge
after each byte is received. There is no acknowledge created after data is read from the LM3535.
After the START condition, the I2C master sends a chip address. This address is seven bits long followed by an
eighth bit which is a data direction bit (R/W). The LM3535 7-bit address is 38h. For the eighth bit, a “0” indicates
a WRITE and a “1” indicates a READ. The second byte selects the register to which the data will be written. The
third byte contains data to write to the selected register.

Each ENx Bit controls the state of the corresponding current sink. Writing a 1 to these bits enables the current
sinks. Writing a 0 disables the current sinks. In order for current to begin flowing through the BankA current
sinks, the brightness codes stored in either the BankA Brightness register or the ALS Brightness registers (with
ALS enabled) must be non-zero. The BankA current sinks can be disabled in two different manors. Writing 0 to
the ENx bits when the current sinks are active will disable the current sinks without going through the ramp down
sequence. Additionally, setting the BankA brightness code to 0 when the current sinks are active (ENx = 1) does
force the diode current to ramp down. All ramping behavior is tied to the BankA Brightness or ALS Brightness
Register settings. Any change in these values causes the LM3535 brightness state machine to ramp the diode
current.
Writing a '1 to ENC, EN1B, EN62 and EN53 (when EN62 and EN53 are assigned to BankB) by default enables
the corresponding current sinks and drive the LEDs to the current value stored in the BankB and BankC
brightness registers. Writing a 0 to these bits immediately disables the current sinks.
The ENC and EN1B bits are ignored if the D1C/ALS pin is configured as an ALS input and if the D1B/INT is
configured as an interrupt flag.

PWM-EN: PWM Input Enable. Writing a 1 = Enable, and a 0 = Ignore (default).
PWM-P: PWM Input Polarity. Writing a 0 = Active High (default) and a 1 = Active Low.
53A: Assign D53 diode to BankA. Writing a 0 assigns D53 to BankB (default) and a 1 assigns D53 to BankA.
62A: Assign D62 diode to BankA. Writing a 0 assigns D62 to BankB (default) and a 1 assigns D62 to BankA.
ALS-ENA: Enable ALS on BankA. Writing a 1 enables ALS control of diode current and a 0 (default) forces
the BankA current to the value stored in the BankA brightness register. The ALS-EN bit must be set to a 1 for
the ALS block to control the BankA brightness.
ALS-ENB: Enable ALS on BankB. Writing a 1 enables ALS control of diode current and a 0 (default) forces
the BankB current to the value stored in the BankB brightness register. The ALS-EN bit must be set to a 1 for
the ALS block to control the BankB brightness. The ALS function for BankB is different than bankA in that the
ALS will only enable and disable the BankB diodes depending on the ALS zone chosen by the user. BankA
utilizes the 5 different zone brightness registers (Addresses 0x70 to 0x74).
ALS-EN: Enables ALS monitoring. Writing a 1 enables the ALS monitoring circuitry and a 0 disables it. This
feature can be enabled without having the current sinks or charge pump active. The ALS value is updated in
register 0x40 (ALS Zone Register)
ALSF: ALS Interrupt Enable. Writing a 1 sets the D1B/INT pin to the ALS interrupt pin and writing a 0 (default)
sets the pin to a BankB current sink.

8.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.2.1 Ambient Light Sensing
8.2.2.1.1 Ambient Light Sensor Block
The LM3535 incorporates an ambient light sensing interface (ALS) which translates an analog output ambient
light sensor to a user specified brightness level. The ambient light sensing circuit has 4 programmable
boundaries (ZB0 – ZB3) which define 5 ambient brightness zones. Each ambient brightness zone corresponds to
a programmable brightness threshold (Z0T – Z4T).
Furthermore, the ambient light sensing input features 15 internal software-selectable voltage setting resistors.
This allows the LM3535 the capability of interfacing with a wide selection of ambient light sensors. Additionally,
the ALS inputs can be configured as high impedance, thus providing for a true shutdown during low power
modes. The ALS resistors are selectable through the ALS Resistor Select Register (see Table 2). Figure 30
shows a functional block diagram of the ambient light sensor input.

8.2.2.1.2 ALS Operation
The ambient light sensor input has a 0 to 1 V operational input voltage range. The Specifications shows the
LM3535 with an ambient light sensor (AVAGO, APDS-9005) and the internal ALS Resistor Select Register set to
0x40 (2.32 kΩ). This circuit converts 0 to 1000 LUX light into approximately a 0 to 850 mV linear output voltage.
The voltage at the active ambient light sensor input is compared against the 8 bit values programmed into the
Zone Boundary Registers (ZB0-ZB3). When the ambient light sensor output crosses one of the ZB0 – ZB3
programmed thresholds the internal ALS circuitry will smoothly transition the LED current to the new 7 bit
brightness level as programmed into the appropriate Zone Target Register (Z0T – Z4T, see Figure 28).
With bits [6:4] of the Configuration Register set to 1 (Bit6 = ALS Block Enable, Bit5 = BankB ALS Enable, Bit4 =
BankA ALS Enable), the LM3535 is configured for ambient light current Control. In this mode the ambient light
sensing input (ALS) monitors the output of analog output ambient light sensing photo diode and adjusts the LED
current depending on the ambient light. The ambient light sensing circuit has 4 configurable ambient light
boundaries (ZB0 – ZB3) programmed through the four (8-bit) Zone Boundary Registers. These zone boundaries
define 5 ambient brightness zones.
On start-up the 4 Zone Boundary Registers are pre-loaded with 0x33 (51d), 0x66 (102d), 0x99 (153d), and 0xCC
(204d). The ALS input has a 1-V active input voltage range which makes the default Zone Boundaries approx.

Zone Boundary 0 = 200 mV
Zone Boundary 1 = 400 mV
Zone Boundary 2 = 600 mV
Zone Boundary 3 = 800 mV
These Zone Boundary Registers are all 8-bit (readable and writable) registers. By default, the first zone (Z0) is
defined between 0 and 200 mV, default for Z1 is defined between 200 mV and 400 mV, Z2 is defined between
400 mV and 600 mV, Z3 is defined between 600 mV and 800 mV, and Z4 is defined between 800 mV and 1 V.
The default settings for the 5 Zone Target Registers are 0x19, 0x33, 0x4C, 0x66, and 0x7F. This corresponds to
LED brightness settings of 84 µA, 164 µA, 1.45 mA, 6.17 mA and 25 mA of current, respectively. See Figure 31.

8.2.2.1.2.1 ALS Configuration Example
As an example, assume that the APDS-9005 is used as the ambient light sensing photo diode with its output
connected to the ALS input. The ALS Resistor Select Register (Address 0x51) is loaded with 0x40 which
configures the ALS input for a 2.32-kΩ internal pulldown resistor (see Table 2). This gives the output of the
APDS-9005 a typical voltage swing of 0 to 875mV with a 0 to 1k LUX change in ambient light (0.875mV/Lux).
Next, the Configuration Register (Address 0x20) is programmed with 0xDC, the ALS Control Register (Address
0x50) programmed to 0x40 and the Control Register is programmed to 0x3F . This configures the device ALS
interface for:
• Ambient Light Current Control for BankA enabled
• ALS circuitry enabled
• Assigns D53 and D62 to bankA
• Sets the ALS Averaging Time to 400 ms
Next, the Control Register (Address 0x10) is programmed with 0x3F which enables the 6 LEDs via the I2Ccompatible interface.
Now assume that the APDS-9005 ambient light sensor detects a 100 LUX ambient light at its input. This forces
the ambient light sensor output (and the ALS input) to 87.5 mV corresponding to Zone 0. Since Zone 0 points to
the brightness code programmed in Zone Target Register 0 (loaded with code 0x19), the LED current becomes:
ILED = ILED_FS u ZoneTarget0 = 25 mA u 0.336% | 84 PA.

Next assume that the ambient light changes to 500 LUX (corresponding to an ALS voltage of 437.5 mV). This
moves the ambient light into Zone 2 which corresponds to Zone Target Register 2 (loaded with code 0x4C) the
LED current then becomes:
ILED = ILED_FS u ZoneTarget2 = 25 mA u 5.781% | 1.45 mA
(3)
8.2.2.1.3 ALS Averaging Time
The ALS averaging time is the time over which the averager block collects samples from the A/D converter and
then averages them to pass to the discriminator block (see Figure 32). Ambient light sensor samples are
averaged and then further processed by the discriminator block to provide rejection of noise and transient
signals. The averager is configurable with 8 different averaging times to provide varying amounts of noise and
transient rejection (see Figure 25). The discriminator block algorithm has a maximum latency of two averaging
cycles, therefore the averaging time selection determines the amount of delay that will exist between a steady
state change in the ambient light conditions and the associated change of the backlight illumination. For
example, the A/D converter samples the ALS inputs at 16 kHz. If the averaging time is set to 800 ms, the
averager sends the updated zone information to the discriminator every 800 ms. This zone information contains
the average of approximately 12800 samples (800 ms × 16 kHz). Due to the latency of 2 averaging cycles, when
there is a steady-state change in the ambient light, the LED current begins to transition to the appropriate target
value after approximately 1600 ms have elapsed.
The sign and magnitude of these averager outputs are used to determine whether the LM3535 should change
brightness zones. The averager block follows the following rules to make a zone transition:
• The averager always begins with a Zone0 reading stored at start-up. If the main display LEDs are active
before the ALS block is enabled, it is recommended that the ALS-EN bit be enabled at least 3 averaging
cycles times before the ALS-ENA bit is enabled.
• The averager always rounds down to the lower zone in the case of a non-integer zone average (1.2 rounds to
1 and 1.75 also rounds to 1). Figure 32 shows an example of how the Averager will make the zone decisions
for different ambient conditions.

The two most current averaging samples are used to make zone change decisions.
To make a zone change, data from three averaging cycles are needed (starting value, first transition, second
transition or rest).
To Increase the brightness zone, a positive averager zone output must be followed by a second positive
averager output or a repeated Averager zone. ('+' to '+' or '+' to 'Rest')
To decrease the brightness zone, a negative averager zone output must be followed by a second negative
averager output or a repeated Averager zone. ('-' to '-' or '-' to 'Rest')
In the case of two increases or decreases in the averager output, the LM3535 transitions to zone equal to the
last averager output.
Figure 33 provides a graphical representation of the behavior of the averager.

When using the ALS averaging functionality, it is important to remember that the averaging cycle is free running
and is not synchronized with changing ambient lighting conditions. Due to the nature of the averager round down,
an increase in brightness can take between 2 and 3 averaging cycles to change zones while a decrease in
brightness can take between 1 and 2 averaging cycles to change. See Figure 25 for a list of possible averager
periods. Figure 35 shows an example of how the perceived brightness change time can vary.

8.2.2.1.4.1 ALS + PWM Example
In this example, the APDS-9005 sensor detects that the ambient light has changed to 1 kLux. The voltage at the
ALS input is now approximately 875 mV and the ambient light falls within Zone 5. This causes the LED
brightness to be a function of Zone Target Register 5 (loaded with 0x7F). Now assume the PWM input is also
driven with a 50% duty cycle pulsed waveform. The LED current now becomes:
ILED = ILED_FS u ZoneTarget5 u D = 25 mA u 100% u 50% | 12.5 mA
(4)
8.2.2.2 LED Configurations
The LM3535 has a total of 8 current sinks capable of sinking 200 mA of total diode current. These 8 current sinks
are configured to operate in three independently controlled lighting regions. GroupA has four dedicated current
sinks, while GroupB and GroupC each have one. To add greater lighting flexibility, the LM3535 has two
additional drivers (D53 and D62) that can be assigned to either GroupA or GroupB through a setting in the
general purpose register.
At start-up, the default condition is four LEDs in GroupA, three LEDs in GroupB and a single LED in GroupC
(NOTE: GroupC only consists of a single current sink (D1C) under any configuration). Bits 53A and 62A in the
general purpose register control where current sinks D53 and D62 are assigned. By writing a 1 to the 53A or 62A
bits, D53 and D62 become assigned to the GroupA lighting region. Writing a 0 to these bits assigns D53 and
D62 to the GroupB lighting region. With this added flexibility, the LM3535 is capable of supporting applications
requiring 4, 5, or 6 LEDs for main display lighting, while still providing additional current sinks that can be used
for a wide variety of lighting functions.
8.2.2.3 Maximum Output Current, Maximum LED Voltage, Minimum Input Voltage
The LM3535 can drive 8 LEDs at 25 mA each (GroupA , GroupB, GroupC) from an input voltage as low as 3.2 V,
as long as the LEDs have a forward voltage of 3.6 V or less (room temperature).
The statement above is a simple example of the LED drive capability of the LM3535. The statement contains the
key application parameters that are required to validate an LED-drive design using the LM3535: LED current
(ILEDx), number of active LEDs (Nx), LED forward voltage (VLED), and minimum input voltage (VIN-MIN).
Equation 5 and Equation 6 can be used to estimate the maximum output current capability of the LM3535:
ILED_MAX = [(1.5 x VIN) – VLED – (IADDITIONAL × ROUT)] / [(Nx × ROUT) + kHRx]
ILED_MAX = [(1.5 x VIN ) - VLED – (IADDITIONAL × 2.4 Ω)] / [(Nx × 2.4 Ω) + kHRx]
(5)
(6)
IADDITIONAL is the additional current that could be delivered to the other LED groups.
ROUT – Output resistance. This parameter models the internal losses of the charge pump that result in voltage
droop at the pump output VOUT. Since the magnitude of the voltage droop is proportional to the total output
current of the charge pump, the loss parameter is modeled as a resistance. The output resistance of the LM3535
is typically 2.4 Ω (VIN = 3.6 V, TA = 25°C) — see Equation 7:
VVOUT = (1.5 × VIN) – [(NA × ILEDA + NB × ILEDB + NC × ILEDC) × ROUT]
(7)
kHR – Headroom constant. This parameter models the minimum voltage required to be present across the current
sinks for them to regulate properly. This minimum voltage is proportional to the programmed LED current, so the
constant has units of mV/mA. The typical kHR of the LM3535 is 4mV/mA — see Equation 8:
(VVOUT – VLEDx) > kHRx × ILEDx
Typical Headroom Constant Values kHRA = kHRB = kHRC = 4 mV/mA
(8)
(9)
Equation 5 is obtained from combining Equation 7 (the ROUT equation) with Equation 8 (the kHRx equation) and
solving for ILEDx. Maximum LED current is highly dependent on minimum input voltage and LED forward voltage.
Output current capability can be increased by raising the minimum input voltage of the application, or by
selecting an LED with a lower forward voltage. Excessive power dissipation may also limit output current
capability of an application.

8.2.2.4 Parallel Connected and Unused Outputs
Connecting the outputs in parallel does not affect internal operation of the LM3535 and has no impact on the
Electrical Characteristics and limits previously presented. The available diode output current, maximum diode
voltage, and all other specifications provided in the Electrical Characteristics table apply to this parallel output
configuration, just as they do to the standard LED application circuit.
All Dx current sinks utilize LED forward voltage sensing circuitry to optimize the charge-pump gain for maximum
efficiency. Due to the nature of the sensing circuitry, TI recommends not leaving any of the Dx pins open when
the current sinks are enabled (ENx bits are set to 1). Leaving Dx pins unconnected forces the charge-pump into
3/2× mode over the entire VIN range negating any efficiency gain that could have been achieved by switching to
1× mode at higher input voltages.
If the D1B or D1C drivers are not going to be used, make sure that the ENB and ENC bits in the general purpose
register are set to 0 to ensure optimal efficiency.
8.2.2.5 Power Efficiency
Efficiency of LED drivers is commonly taken to be the ratio of power consumed by the LEDs (PLED) to the power
drawn at the input of the part (PIN). With a 3/2× – 1× charge pump, the input current is equal to the charge pump
gain times the output current (total LED current). The efficiency of the LM3535 can be predicted as follow:
PLEDTOTAL = (VLEDA × NA × ILEDA) + (VLEDB × NB × ILEDB) + (VLEDC × ILEDC)
PIN = VIN × IIN
PIN = VIN × (GAIN × ILEDTOTAL + IQ)
E = (PLEDTOTAL / PIN)
(10)
(11)
(12)
(13)
The LED voltage is the main contributor to the charge-pump gain selection process. Use of low forward-voltage
LEDs (3 V to 3.5 V) allows the LM3535 to stay in the gain of 1× for a higher percentage of the lithium-ion battery
voltage range when compared to the use of higher forward voltage LEDs (3.5 V to 4 V). See LED Forward
Voltage Monitoring for a more detailed description of the gain selection and transition process.
For an advanced analysis, TI recommends that power consumed by the circuit (VIN x IIN) for a given load be
evaluated rather than power efficiency.
8.2.2.6 Power Dissipation
The power dissipation (PDISS) and junction temperature (TJ) can be approximated with the equations below. PIN is
the power generated by the 3/2× – 1× charge pump, PLED is the power consumed by the LEDs, TA is the ambient
temperature, and RθJA is the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance for the DSBGA 20-bump package. VIN is the
input voltage to the LM3535, VLED is the nominal LED forward voltage, N is the number of LEDs and ILED is the
programmed LED current.
PDISS = PIN – PLEDA - PLEDB – PLEDC
PDISS= (GAIN × VIN × IGroupA + GroupB + GroupC ) – (VLEDA × NA × ILEDA) – (VLEDB × NB × ILEDB) – (VLEDC × ILEDC)
TJ = TA + (PDISS x RθJA)
(14)
(15)
(16)
The junction temperature rating takes precedence over the ambient temperature rating. The LM3535 may be
operated outside the ambient temperature rating, so long as the junction temperature of the device does not
exceed the maximum operating rating of 110°C. The maximum ambient temperature rating must be derated in
applications where high power dissipation and/or poor thermal resistance causes the junction temperature to
exceed 110°C.

8.2.2.7 Thermal Protection
Internal thermal protection circuitry disables the LM3535 when the junction temperature exceeds 150°C (typical).
This feature protects the device from being damaged by high die temperatures that might otherwise result from
excessive power dissipation. The device recovers and operates normally when the junction temperature falls
below 125°C (typical). It is important that the board layout provide good thermal conduction to keep the junction
temperature within the specified operating ratings.
8.2.2.8 Capacitor Selection
The LM3535 requires 4 external capacitors for proper operation (C1 = C2 = CIN = COUT = 1 µF). Surface-mount
multi-layer ceramic capacitors are recommended. These capacitors are small, inexpensive and have very low
equivalent series resistance (ESR < 20 mΩ typical). Tantalum capacitors, OS-CON capacitors, and aluminum
electrolytic capacitors are not recommended for use with the LM3535 due to their high ESR, as compared to
ceramic capacitors.
For most applications, ceramic capacitors with X7R or X5R temperature characteristic are preferred for use with
the LM3535. These capacitors have tight capacitance tolerance (as good as ±10%) and hold their value over
temperature (X7R: ±15% over –55°C to 125°C; X5R: ±15% over –55°C to 85°C).
Capacitors with Y5V or Z5U temperature characteristic are generally not recommended for use with the LM3535.
Capacitors with these temperature characteristics typically have wide capacitance tolerance (+80%, –20%) and
vary significantly over temperature (Y5V: +22%, –82% over –30°C to +85°C range; Z5U: +22%, –56% over
+10°C to +85°C range). Under some conditions, a nominal 1µF Y5V or Z5U capacitor could have a capacitance
of only 0.1 µF. Such detrimental deviation is likely to cause Y5V and Z5U capacitors to fail to meet the minimum
capacitance requirements of the LM3535.
The recommended voltage rating for the capacitors is 10 V to account for DC bias capacitance losses.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The LM3535 is designed to operate from an input voltage supply range between 2.7 V and 5.5 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 LM3535 additional bulk capacitance may be required in addition to the ceramic bypass capacitors.

10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
Proper board layout helps to ensure optimal performance of the LM3535 circuit. The following guidelines are
recommended:
• Place capacitors as close as possible to the LM3535, preferably on the same side of the board as the device.
• Use short, wide traces to connect the external capacitors to the LM3535 to minimize trace resistance and
inductance.
• Use a low resistance connection between ground and the GND pins of the LM3535. Using wide traces and/or
multiple vias to connect GND to a ground plane on the board is most advantageous.
