Minimum Number of External Components
The boost/SEPIC converter has an adaptive output
voltage control based on the LED current sink
headroom voltages. This feature minimizes power
consumption by adjusting the voltage to the lowest
sufficient level in all conditions. DC-DC supports
spread spectrum for switching frequency and an
external synchronization with a dedicated pin. A widerange adjustable frequency allows the LP8862-Q1 to
avoid disturbance for AM radio band.
The input voltage range for the LP8862-Q1 is from
4.5 V to 40 V to support automotive stop/start and
load dump conditions. The device supports PWM
brightness dimming ratio of 10 000:1 for 100-Hz input
PWM frequency. The LP8862-Q1 integrates
extensive fault detection features. The device has an
option to drive an external p-FET to disconnect the
input supply from the system in the event of a fault.
This feature also reduces inrush current and standby
power consumption.

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.
Internal thermal shutdown circuitry protects the device from permanent damage. Thermal shutdown engages at TJ = 165°C (typical) and
disengages at TJ = 145°C (typical).
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 =
150°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 ).
For detailed soldering specifications and information, please refer to the PowerPAD™ Thermally Enhanced Package Application Note
(SLMA002).

Output Current Accuracy is the difference between the actual value of the output current and programmed value of this current.
Matching is the maximum difference from the average. For the constant current sinks on the part (OUT1, OUT2), the following are
determined: the maximum output current (MAX), the minimum output current (MIN), and the average output current of all outputs (AVG).
Matching number is calculated: (MAX-MIN)/AVG. The typical specification provided is the most likely norm of the matching figure for all
parts. LED current sinks were characterized with 1-V headroom voltage. Note that some manufacturers have different definitions in use.
Saturation voltage is defined as the voltage when the LED current has dropped 10% from the value measured at 1 V.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The LP8862-Q1 is a highly integrated LED driver for automotive infotainment, lighting systems, and mediumsized LCD backlight applications. It includes a DC-DC with an integrated FET, supporting both boost and SEPIC
modes, an internal LDO enabling direct connection to battery without need for a pre-regulated supply, and two
LED current sinks. A VDDIO/EN pin provides the supply voltage for digital IOs (PWM and SYNC inputs) and at
the same time enables the device.
The switching frequency on the DC-DC regulator is set by a resistor connected to the FSET pin. The maximum
output voltage of the DC-DC is set by a resistive divider connected to the FB pin. For best efficiency the output
voltage is adapted automatically to the minimum necessary level needed to drive the LED strings. This is done
by monitoring LED output voltage drop in real time. For EMI reduction and control two optional features are
available:
• Spread spectrum, which reduces EMI noise around the switching frequency and its harmonic frequencies
• DC-DC can be synchronized to an external frequency connected to SYNC pin
The two constant current sinks OUT1 and OUT2 provide LED current up to 160 mA. Value for the current per
OUT pin is set with a resistor connected to ISET pin. Unused current sink must be connected to ground.
Grounded sink is disabled and excluded from adaptive output voltage control and LED string fault detection.
Brightness is controlled with the PWM input. Frequency range for the input PWM is from 100 Hz to 20 kHz. LED
output PWM follows the input PWM so the output frequency is equal to the input frequency.
The LP8862-Q1 has extensive fault detection features:
• Open-string and shorted LED detections
– LED fault detection prevents system overheating in case of open or short in some of the LED strings
• VIN input overvoltage protection
– Threshold sensing from VIN pin
• VIN input undervoltage protection
– Threshold sensing from VIN pin
• VIN input overcurrent protection
– Threshold sensing across RISENSE resistor
• Thermal shutdown in case of die overtemperature
Fault condition is indicated with the FAULT output pin. Additionally, the LP8862-Q1 supports control for an
optional power-line FET allowing further protection by disconnecting the device from power-line in fault condition.
With the power-line FET control it possible to protect device itself, DC-DC external components and LEDs in
case of shorted VOUT and too-high VIN voltage. Power-line FET control also features soft-start which reduces the
peak current from the power-line during start-up.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Integrated DC-DC Converter
The LP8862-Q1 DC-DC converter generates supply voltage for the LEDs and can operate in boost mode or in
SEPIC mode. The maximum output voltage VOUT_MAX is defined by an external resistive divider (R1, R2).
VOUT_MAX must be chosen based on the maximum voltage required for LED strings. Recommended maximum
voltage is about 30% higher than maximum LED string voltage. DC-DC output voltage is adjusted automatically
based on LED current sink headroom voltage. Maximum, minimum, and initial boost voltages can be calculated
with Equation 1:

Feature Description (continued)
In most cases lower frequency has higher system efficiency. DC-DC parameters are chosen automatically
according to the selected switching frequency (see Table 2). In boost mode a 15-pF capacitor CFB must be
placed across resistor R1 when operating in 300-kHz to 500-kHz range (see Figure 19). When operating in 1.8MHz to 2.2-MHz range CFB = 4.7 pF.

DC-DC can be driven by an external SYNC signal between 300 kHz…2.2 MHz (Table 1). If the external
synchronization input disappears, DC-DC continues operation at the frequency defined by RFSET resistor. When
external frequency disappears and SYNC pin level is low, DC-DC continues operation without spread spectrum
immediately. If SYNC remains high, DC-DC continues switching with spread spectrum enabled after 256 µs.
External SYNC frequency must be 1.2…1.5 times higher than the frequency defined by RFSET resistor. Minimum
frequency setting with RFSET is 250 kHz to support a 300-kHz external clock.
The optional spread spectrum feature (±3% from central frequency, 1-kHz modulation frequency) reduces EMI
noise at the switching frequency and its harmonic frequencies. When external synchronization is used, internal
spread spectrum feature is not available.

Parameters are for reference only
Due to current-sensing comparator delay the actual minimum off time is 6 ns (typical) longer than in the table.
The converter SW pin DC current is limited to 2 A (typical). To support warm start transient condition the current
limit is automatically increased to 2.5 A for a short period of 1.5 seconds when a 2-A limit is reached.
NOTE
Application condition where the 2-A limit is exceeded continuously is not allowed. In this
case the current limit would be 2 A for 1.5 seconds followed by 2.5-A limit for 1.5 seconds,
and this 3-second period repeats.
To keep switching voltage within safe levels there is a 48-V limit comparator in the event that FB loop is broken.
8.3.2 Internal LDO
The internal LDO regulator converts the input voltage at VIN to a 4.3-V output voltage for internal use. Connect
LDO output with a minimum of 1-μF ceramic capacitor to ground as close to the LDO pin as possible. If an
external voltage higher than 4.5 V is connected to LDO pin, the internal LDO is disabled, and the internal circuitry
is powered from the external power supply. VIN and VSENSE_N pins must be connected to the same external
voltage as LDO pin. For an application example schematic refer to the LP8861-Q1 data sheet (SNVSA50).
8.3.3 LED Current Sinks
8.3.3.1 Current Sink Configuration
The LP8862-Q1 detects LED current sink configuration during start-up. A current sink connected to ground is
disabled and excluded from the adaptive DC-DC control and fault detection.
8.3.3.2 Current Setting
Maximum current for the LED current sinks is controlled with external RISET resistor. Resistor value for targeted
LED string current can be calculated using Equation 3:
RISET = 4000 × VBG / ILED
where
•
•
RISET is current setting resistor, kΩ
ILED is output current per output, mA
(3)
8.3.3.3 Brightness Control
The LP8862-Q1 controls the brightness of the display with conventional PWM. Output PWM directly follows the
input PWM. Input PWM frequency can be in the range of 100 Hz to 20 kHz.
8.3.4 Power Line FET Control
The LP8862-Q1 has a control pin (SD) for driving the gate of an external power-line FET. Power-line FET is an
optional feature. Power-line FET limits inrush current by turning on gradually when the device is enabled
(VDDIO/EN = high, VIN > VGS). Inrush current is controlled by increasing sink current for the FET gradually to 230
μA. In shutdown the LP8862-Q1 turns off the power-line FET and prevents possible DC-DC and LEDs leakage.
The power switch also turns off in case of any fault which causes the device to enter FAULT RECOVERY state.

8.3.5 Fault Detections
The LP8862-Q1 has fault detection for LED open and short, VIN input overvoltage (VIN_OVP), VIN undervoltage
lockout (VIN_UVLO), power-line overcurrent (VIN_OCP), and thermal shutdown (TSD).
8.3.5.1 Adaptive DC-DC Voltage Control and Functionality of LED Fault Comparators
Adaptive voltage control function adjusts the DC-DC output voltage to the minimum sufficient voltage for proper
LED current sink operation. The current sink with highest VF LED string is detected and DC-DC output voltage
adjusted accordingly. DC-DC adaptive control voltage step size is defined by maximum voltage setting, VSTEP =
(VOUT_MAX – VOUT_MIN) /256. Periodic down pressure is applied to the target voltage to achieve better system
efficiency.
Every LED current sink has 3 comparators for the adaptive DC-DC control and LED-fault detections. Comparator
outputs are filtered; filtering time is 1 µs.

Figure 9. Comparators for Adaptive Voltage Control and LED Fault Detection
Figure 10 illustrates different cases which cause DC-DC voltage increase, decrease, or generate faults. In
normal operation, voltage at the OUT1 and OUT2 pins is between LOW_COMP and MID_COMP levels, and
VOUT voltage stays constant. LOW_COMP level is the minimum for proper LED current sink operation, 1.1 × VSAT
+ 0.2 V (typical). MID_COMP level is 1.1 × VSAT + 1.2 V (typical) so typical headroom window is 1 V.
When voltage at OUT1 and OUT2 pin increases above MID_COMP level, DC-DC voltage adapts downwards.
When voltage at OUT1 or OUT2 pin falls below LOW_COMP threshold, DC-DC voltage adapts upwards. In the
condition where VOUT reaches the maximum and there are one or more outputs still below LOW_COMP level, an
open LED fault is detected.

HIGH_COMP level, 6 V typical, is the threshold for shorted LED detection. When the voltage of OUT1 or OUT2

8.3.5.2 Overview of the Fault/Protection Schemes
Summary of LP8862-Q1 fault detection behavior is shown in Table 3. Detected faults (excluding LED open or
short) cause device to enter FAULT_RECOVERY state. In FAULT_RECOVERY the DC-DC and LED current
sinks of the device are disabled, power-line FET is turned off, and the FAULT pin is pulled low. The device
recovers automatically and enters normal operating mode (ACTIVE) after a recovery time of 100 ms if the fault
condition has disappeared. When recovery is succesful, FAULT pin is released.
In case a LED fault is detected, device continues normal operation and only the faulty string is disabled. Fault is
indicated via FAULT pin which can be released by toggling VDDIO/EN pin low for a short period of 2…20 µs.
LEDs are turned off for this period but device stays in ACTIVE mode. If VDDIO/EN is low longer, device goes to
STANDBY and restarts when EN goes high again.

8.4 Device Functional Modes
8.4.1 Device States
The LP8862-Q1 enters STANDBY mode when the internal LDO output rises above the power-on reset level,
VLDO > VPOR. In STANDBY mode the device is able to detect the VDDIO/EN signal. When VDDIO/EN is pulled
high, the device powers up. During soft start the external power-line FET is opened gradually to limit inrush
current. Soft start is followed by boost (SEPIC) start, during which time VOUT is ramped to the initial value. After
boost (SEPIC) start LED outputs are sensed to detect grounded outputs. Grounded outputs are disabled and
excluded from the adaptive boost (SEPIC) voltage control loop.
If a fault condition is detected, the LP8862-Q1 enters FAULT_RECOVERY state. In this state power line FET is
switched off and both the boost (SEPIC) and LED current sinks are disabled. Faults that cause the device to
enter FAULT_RECOVERY are shown in Figure 17. When LED open or short is detected, faulty string is disabled
but the device stays in ACTIVE mode.

9 Application and Implementation
9.1 Application Information
The LP8862-Q1 is designed for automotive applications, and an input voltage VIN is intended to be connected to
the automotive battery. Device circuitry is powered from the internal LDO, which can alternatively be used as an
external VDD voltage — in this case external voltage should be in 4.5-V to 5.5-V range.
The LP8862-Q1 uses a simple four-wire control:
• VDDIO/EN for enable
• PWM input for brightness control
• SYNC pin for boost synchronisation (optional)
• FAULT output to indicate fault condition (optional)
9.2 Typical Applications

9.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
9.2.1.2.1 Inductor Selection
There are two main considerations when choosing an inductor; the inductor must not saturate, and the inductor
current ripple must be small enough to achieve the desired output voltage ripple. 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
application should be requested from the manufacturer. Shielded inductors radiate less noise and are preferred.
The saturation current must be greater than the sum of the maximum load current and the worst case averageto-peak inductor current. Equation 4 shows the worst-case conditions:

As a result the inductor must be selected according to the ISAT. A more conservative and recommended
approach is to choose an inductor that has a saturation current rating greater than the maximum current limit. A
saturation current rating of at least 3 A is recommended for most applications. See Table 2 for inductance
recommendations for the different switching frequency ranges. Resistance of the inductor must be less than 300
mΩ for good efficiency.
See detailed information in Understanding Boost Power Stages in Switch Mode Power Supplies. “Power Stage
Designer™ Tools” can be used for the boost calculation: http://www.ti.com/tool/powerstage-designer.
9.2.1.2.2 Output Capacitor Selection
A ceramic capacitor with 2 × VMAX BOOST or more voltage rating is recommended for the output capacitor. The
DC-bias effect can reduce the effective capacitance by up to 80%, which needs to be considered in capacitance
value selection. Capacitance recommendations for different boost switching frequencies are shown in Table 2.
To minimize audible noise of ceramic capacitors their geometric size must typically be minimized.
9.2.1.2.3 Input Capacitor Selection
A ceramic capacitor with 2 × VVIN MAX or more voltage rating is recommended for the input capacitor. The DCbias effect can reduce the effective capacitance by up to 80%, which needs to be considered in capacitance
value selection. Capacitance recommendations for different boost switching frequencies are shown in Table 2.
9.2.1.2.4 LDO Output Capacitor
A ceramic capacitor with at least 10-V voltage rating is recommended for the output capacitor of the LDO. The
DC-bias effect can reduce the effective capacitance by up to 80%, which needs to be considered in capacitance
value selection. Typically a 1-µF capacitor is sufficient.
9.2.1.2.5 Diode
A Schottky diode should be used for the boost output diode. Do not use ordinary rectifier diodes, since slow
switching speeds and long recovery times cause the efficiency and the load regulation to suffer. Diode rating for
peak repetitive current must be greater than inductor peak current (up to 3 A) to ensure reliable operation.
Average current rating must be greater than the maximum output current. Schottky diodes with a low forward
drop and fast switching speeds are ideal for increasing efficiency. Choose a reverse breakdown voltage of the
Schottky diode significantly larger than the output voltage.
9.2.1.2.6 Power Line Transistor
A pFET transistor with necessary voltage rating (VDS at least 5 V higher than max input voltage) must be used.
Current rating for the FET must be the same as input peak current or greater. Transfer characteristic is very
important for pFET. VGS for open transistor must be less than VIN. A 20-kΩ resistor between pFET gate and
source is sufficient.
9.2.1.2.7 Input Current Sense Resistor
A high-power 50 mΩ resistor must be used for sensing the boost input current. Power rating can be calculated
from the input current and sense resistor resistance value. Increasing RISENSE decreases VIN_OCP current
proportionally.

9.2.2.1 Detailed Design Procedure
In SEPIC mode the maximum voltage at the SW pin is equal to the sum of the input voltage and the output
voltage. Because of this, the maximum sum of input and output voltage must be limited below 50 V. See Detailed
Design Procedure for general external component guidelines. The main differences of SEPIC compared to boost
are described below.
Power Stage Designer™ Tool can be used for modeling SEPIC behavior: http://www.ti.com/tool/powerstagedesigner. For detailed explanation on SEPIC see Texas Instruments Analog Applications Journal Designing
DC/DC Converters Based on SEPIC Topology (SLYT309).
9.2.2.1.1 Inductor
In SEPIC mode, coupled coil saturation rating should be higher than input side inductor peak current. Current
values can be estimated using Power Stage Designer™ Tool or using equations in SLYT309.
9.2.2.1.2 Diode
In SEPIC mode diode peak current is equal to the sum of input and output currents. Diode rating for peak
repetitive current must be greater than SW pin current limit (up to 3 A for transients) to ensure reliable operation.
Average current rating must be greater than the maximum output current. Voltage rating must be higher than
sum of input and output voltages.
9.2.2.1.3 Capacitor C1
A ceramic capacitor with low ESR is recommended. Voltage rating must be higher than maximum input voltage.

10 Power Supply Recommendations
The LP8862-Q1 device is designed to operate from an automotive battery. The device must be protected from
reversal voltage and voltage dump over 50 V. The resistance of the input supply rail must be low enough so that
the input current transient does not cause too-high drop at the LP8862-Q1 VIN pin. If the input supply is
connected by using long wires additional bulk capacitance may be required in addition to the ceramic bypass
capacitors in the VIN line.

11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
Figure 27 shows a recommended layout for the LP8862-Q1 used to demonstrate the principles of a good layout.
This layout can be adapted to the actual application layout if or where possible. It is important that all boost
components are close to the chip, and the high current traces must be wide enough. By placing boost
components on one side of the chip it is easy to keep the ground plane intact below the high current paths. This
way other chip pins can be routed more easily without splitting the ground plane. Place LDO capacitor as close
to LDO pin as possible.
Here are some main points to help the PCB layout work:
• Current loops need to be minimized:
– For low frequency the minimal current loop can be achieved by placing the boost components as close as
possible to the SW and PGND pins. Input and output capacitor grounds need to be close to each other to
minimize current loop size.
– Minimal current loops for high frequencies can be achieved by making sure that the ground plane is intact
under the current traces. High frequency return currents try to find route with minimum impedance, which
is the route with minimum loop area, not necessarily the shortest path. Minimum loop area is formed when
return current flows just under the positive current route in the ground plane, if the ground plane is intact
under the route.
• The GND plane needs to be intact under the high current boost traces to provide shortest possible return path
and smallest possible current loops for high frequencies.
• Current loops when the boost switch is conducting and not conducting need to be on the same direction in
optimal case.
• Inductor placement should be so that the current flows in the same direction as in the current loops. Rotating
inductor 180° changes current direction.
• Use separate power and noise free grounds. The power ground is used for boost converter return current and
noise-free ground for more sensitive signals, like LDO bypass capacitor grounding as well as grounding the
GND pin of LP8862-Q1 device itself.
• Boost output feedback voltage to LEDs needs to be taken out after the output capacitors, not straight from the
diode cathode.
• Place LDO 1-µF bypass capacitor as close as possible to the LDO pin.
• Input and output capacitors need strong grounding (wide traces, many vias to GND plane).
• If two output capacitors are used they need symmetrical layout to get both capacitors working ideally.
• Output ceramic capacitors have DC-bias effect. If the output capacitance is too low, it can cause boost to
become unstable on some loads and this increases EMI. DC bias characteristics need to be obtained from
the component manufacturer; it is not taken into account on component tolerance. X5R/X7R capacitors are
recommended.
