The LM3549 is a high power LED driver with up to
700mA output current. It has three constant current
LED drivers and a buck boost SMPS for driving RGB
LEDs with high efficiency. LED drivers are designed
for sequential drive so only one driver can be enabled
at a time.

LED driver output current settings can be stored to
integrated non-volatile memory which allows standalone operation without I2C interface. Non-volatile
memory is rewritable so current setting can be
changed if needed.
The LM3549 has a fault detection feature that can
detect several different fault conditions. In case of a
fault error flags are set and FAULT output sends
interrupt to control logic. Error flags can be read
through I2C interface.

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 (θJA), as given by the following equation: TA-MAX = TJ-MAX-OP – (θJA × PD-MAX).

SHUTDOWN: Shutdown mode is entered always if EN is low or internal Power On Reset (POR) is active. Power
on reset will activate during the chip startup or when the supply voltage VDD falls below 1.5V. This is the
low power consumption mode, when all circuit functions are disabled.
STARTUP: When EN input is pulled high, the internal startup sequence powers up all the needed internal blocks
(VREF, Oscillator, etc.). EEPROM values are also read to registers during Startup.
STANDBY: After Startup device enters Standby mode. In standby mode all support blocks are active but buckboost converter and the drivers are disabled. Control registers can be written in this mode and the control
bits are effective immediately. EEPROM writing is allowed only in standby mode.
BOOST STARTUP: Soft start for boost output is generated in the boost startup mode. The boost output is raised
in a low current mode. Soft start time can be set with registers. The boost startup is entered from Standby
if any of the X_EN inputs is pulled high.
NORMAL: During normal mode user controls the chip using the X_EN inputs. In normal mode buck-boost
converter and drivers are active. Device returns to standby mode if all X_EN inputs are low for time period
set by Time out register. If EN input is pulled low device goes to shutdown mode.
TSD: If the chip temperature rises too high, the thermal shutdown (TSD) disables the chip operation and
Standby mode is entered until no thermal shutdown event is present.

OPERATION DESCRIPTION
LM3549 is a sequential LED driver for portable video projectors. It has three high current low side drivers and a
buck-boost DC-DC converter. Only single LED can be enabled at any given time. DC-DC converter quickly
adjusts the output voltage to a suitable level based on each LED’s forward voltage. This minimizes the power
dissipation at the drivers and maximizes the system efficiency.
Figure 15 shows a typical timing of a portable video projector light source. Each frame is divided into 10
individual color sequences. White balance is achieved by adjusting the driver currents.
Timing of LM3549 depends solely on the R_EN, G_EN and B_EN inputs. Each driver’s current is set with I2C
registers and current levels can be stored to internal EEPROM. After correct current values are stored to
EEPROM LM3549 can be used in application without I2C interface.

CONTROL INTERFACE
Even though each driver has its own control input only one driver can be enabled at any given time. If second
control is pulled high while previous color is active second output won’t be enabled until the first input is pulled
low. This can be seen on Figure 16. G_EN is pulled high while R_EN is still high. G_OUT is not activated until
R_EN is pulled low. Next B_EN and R_EN are both pulled high while G_EN is high. When G_EN is pulled low
R_OUT is enabled because R_EN has higher priority (Priority order: RGB).

CONTROL REGISTERS
Figure 17 shows the structure of the control registers. Control registers consists of volatile dynamic registers and
non volatile EEPROM.

DYNAMIC REGISTERS

LOGIC
Figure 17. Register Structure
All I2C register read write commands are done to volatile dynamic registers. Dynamic registers are also used to
set the device parameters. All registers except FAULT and EEPROM CONTROL register can be stored to
EEPROM. EEPROM values are automatically read to dynamic registers during startup. This makes device use
very versatile. After calibration device can be used even without I2C control. If system has I2C bus, control
registers can be written to adjust parameters on the fly. If registers need to be set back to default values this can
be done by first writing 04h to register 40h (EE init bit to “1”) followed by 01h to register 40h (EE read bit to “1”).
EEPROM PROGRAMMING
EEPROM values can be rewritten if device needs recalibration. This can be done for example if white point
changes due to aging effect of the LEDs. To store current register values to EEPROM user needs to first write
04h to register 40h (EE init bit to “1”) followed by 02h to register 40h (EE prog bit to “1”). LM3549 Internal charge
pump generates the high voltage required for programming the EEPROM. To be able to generate this high
voltage Vin needs to be set to 5V during EEPROM programming. EEPROM programming should be completed
within approximately 200 ms. Once EEPROM programming is completed LM3549 sets EE_ready bit to 1. After
this Vin voltage can be set back to normal operating level. EEPROM programming should always be done in
standby mode.
CURRENT SETTING
There are three 10 bit current settings for each driver. 10 bits are divided into two eight bit registers. First register
holds the eight least significant bits (LSB) and the second register holds the two most significant bits (MSB).
These settings are grouped into three banks. IR0, IG0 and IB0 form a bank0; IR1, IG1 and IB1 form a bank1 and
IR2, IG2 and IB2 form a bank2. For example IR0_MSB holds the two MSB for red on bank0 and IR0_LSB the
eight LSB for red on bank0. Bank is selected with BANK_SEL register (00 = bank0, 01 = bank1 and 10 or 11 =
bank2).
Current setting is linear up to 550mA output current (see figure LED Current vs Current Setting in Typical
Performance Characteristics). 550mA current is achieved with current setting ISET = 710. After this the current
step decreases slightly. For currents up to 550 mA current setting can be calculated using formula:
ISET = (target current in mA - 100 mA)/(650mA/1024)
Fot currents between 550mA and 700mA current setting can be calculated using formula:
ISET = (target current in mA - 550 mA)/0.479 mA + 710

BRIGHTNESS CONTROL
Output current of all drivers can be adjusted using PWM input or FADER register. This can be used to easilly
adjust the total brightness of the LEDs. Brightness control function can be enabled from the CTRL register as
seen in table below. In case of PWM input brightness control (BRC) is the positive duty cycle of the input signal.
In case of FADER register brightness is MASTER FADER[7:0]/255.

The maximum currents of the drivers are set in the current setting registers. Brightness control keeps the ratio of
the driver currents constant and adjusts the output currents based on the highest current setting. Driver currents
can be adjusted between 100 mA to the maximum current set in the registers (see figures PWM Output Current
Control and Master Fader Register Current Control in Typical Performance Characteristics).

PWM TIMING
Figure 18 shows example of PWM brightness control. PWM input can be change at any given time but control
takes effect when next enable is pulled high. To ensure that control takes effect for the next color time from PWM
change to next enable needs to be greater than timeout time (300 µs typical).
At the beginning of the example frame PWM input is changed from 100% to 80% while green driver is enabled.
Brightness level is not changed in the middle of the green frame but at the beginning of the next color which in
this example is blue. During next green PWM is set back to 100%. This is done at least 300 µs before next
enable is pulled high and control takes effect then. During next green PWM is changed to 0%. Time from PWM
change to next enable (blue) is less than 300 µs and control don’t take effect when blue starts but one color later,
what in this example is red.

FAULT DETECTION
LM3549 can detect several different fault conditions. These are LED open, LED short, thermal shutdown (TSD),
under voltage lockout (UVLO) and buck-boost converter over current protection (OCP). If any of the fault
conditions occur corresponding fault bit is set in the fault register. If fault mask bit is not set also Fault output is
pulled low. Reading Fault register resets its value to zero and sets Fault output to high impedance state.
LED OPEN FAULT
Open fault is generated when at the end of color VOUT is at maximum and no current is flowing through driver
(VDx = 0V). Also OCP fault needs to be low. Open fault can be generated by broken LED or a soldering defect.

LED SHORT FAULT
Short fault is detected when VOUT < 1.0V at the end of a color. Short fault is generated when VOUT is shorted
to driver by soldering defect or faulty LED. Driver current limit limits the maximum current. Depending on output
current and positive limit settings, LED short can also generate OCP fault to fault register.

TSD FAULT
Thermal shutdown (TSD) fault is generated if junction temperature rises above TSD level. TSD engages at TJ=
150°C (typ) and disengages at TJ = 140°C (typ). TSD sets device to standby mode. Occasionally a false TSD
fault is generated to Fault register when device goes from shutdown mode to standby mode. It is good practice to
reset the fault register by reading it every time after device is set from shutdown mode to standby mode.
UVLO FAULT
Under voltage lock out (UVLO) fault is generated if VIN drops below UVLO level (~2.5V). UVLO sets device to
standby mode. When VIN rises back above the 2.5V device exits UVLO. If control register values were changed
from EEPROM defaults they need to be rewritten to registers because UVLO condition can generate EEPROM
read sequence.
OVER CURRENT PROTECTION FAULT
Over current protection (OCP) fault is generated when positive current limit is active at the end of a color. It is
important to notice that OCP fault is not always set when positive current limit is activated. Positive current limit
can activate during normal operation when buck-boost is adjusting the output voltage to a higher level. OCP can
be caused by short from VOUT to GND, short from driver to GND or if too low positive current limit value is set
for desired output current.

need a pull-up resistor according to I2C specification. The values of the pull-up resistors are determined by the
capacitance of the bus (typ. ~1.8k). Signal timing specifications are shown in Table 1.

I2C VALIDITY
The data on SDA 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 CLK is LOW.

I2C START AND STOP CONDITIONS
START and STOP bits classify the beginning and the end of the I2C session. START condition is defined as SDA
signal transitioning from HIGH to LOW while SCL line is HIGH. STOP condition is defined as the SDA
transitioning from LOW to HIGH while SCL is HIGH. The I2C master always generates START and STOP bits.
The I2C bus is considered to be busy after START condition and free after STOP condition. During data
transmission, I2C master can generate repeated START conditions. First START and repeated START
conditions are equivalent, function-wise.

TRANSFERRING DATA
Every byte put on the SDA line must be eight bits long, with the most significant bit (MSB) being 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 transmitter releases the SDA line (HIGH) during the acknowledge clock pulse. The receiver
must pull down the SDA line during the ninth clock pulse, signifying an acknowledge. A receiver which has been
addressed must generate an acknowledge after each byte has been received.
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 LM3549 address is 36 hex. 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.
