3 Description
The LP8866S-Q1 is an automotive high-efficiency
LED driver with boost controller. The Six highprecision current sinks support phase shifting that is
automatically adjusted based on the number of
channels in use. LED brightness can be controlled
globally through the I²C interface or PWM input.
The boost controller has adaptive output voltage
control based on the headroom voltages of the LED
current sinks. This feature minimizes the power
consumption by adjusting the boost voltage to the
lowest sufficient level in all conditions. A wide-range
adjustable frequency allows the LP8866S-Q1 to avoid
disturbance for AM radio band.
The LP8866S-Q1 supports built-in hybrid PWM
dimming and analog current dimming, which reduces
EMI, extends the LED lifetime, and increases the total
optical efficiency.

Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Rating 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 Condition. 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 = 150°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 = 150°C), the power dissipation of the device in the application (P), the junction-to-board thermal resistance and the
temperature difference between the system board and the ambient (ΔtBA), which is given by the following equation: TA-MAX = TJ-MAX –
(ΘJB × P) - ΔtBA.

7 Detailed Description
7.1 Overview
The LP8866S-Q1 device is a high-voltage LED driver for automotive infotainment, clusters, HUD and other
automotive display LED backlight applications. PWM input is used for brightness control by default. Alternatively,
the brightness can also be controlled by I2C Interface.
The boost frequency, LED PWM frequency, and LED string current are configured with external resistors through
the BST_FSET, PWM_FSET, and ISET pins. The INT pin is used to report faults to the system. Fault interrupt
status can be cleared with the I2C interface, or is cleared on the falling edge of the EN pin.
The LP8866S-Q1 supports pure PWM dimming. The six LED current drivers provide up to 150 mA per output
and can be tied together to support higher current LEDs. The maximum output current of the LED drivers is set
with the ISET resistor and can be optionally scaled by the LEDx_CURRENT[11:0] register bits with I2C interface.
The LED output PWM frequency is set with a PWM_FSET resistor. The number of connected LED strings is
configured by the LED_SET resistor, and the device automatically selects the corresponding phase shift mode.
For example, if the device is set to 4-strings mode, each LED output is phase shifted by 90 degrees with each
other(= 360 / 4). Unused outputs, which must be connected to GND, will be disabled and excluded from adaptive
voltage and won't generate any LED faults.
A resistor divider connected from VOUT to the FB pin sets the maximum voltage of the boost. For best efficiency,
the boost voltage is adapted automatically to the minimum necessary level needed to drive the LED strings by
monitoring all the LED output voltages continuously. The switching frequency of the boost regulator can be set
between 100 kHz and 2.2 MHz by the BST_FSET resistor. The boost has a start-up feature that reduces the
peak current from the power-line during start-up. The LP8866S-Q1 can also control a power-line FET to reduce
battery leakage when disabled and provide isolation and protection in the event of a fault.
Fault detection features of LP8866S-Q1 include:

7.3 Feature Description
7.3.1 Control Interface
Device control interface includes:
• EN is the enable input for the LP8866S-Q1 device.
• PWM is the default input to control the brightness of all current sinks by duty cycle.
• INT is an open-drain fault output indicating fault condition detection.
• SDA and SCL are data and clock line for I2C interface to control the brightness of all current sinks and read
back the fault conditions for diagnosis.
• BST_SYNC is used to input an external clock for the boost switching frequency and control the internal boost
clock mode.
– The external clock is auto detected at start-up and, if missing, the internal clock is used.

– Optionally, the BST_SYNC can be tied to VDD to enable the boost spread spectrum function or tied to
GND to disable it.
ISET pin to set the maximum LED current level per string.
7.3.2 Function Setting
Device parameter setting includes:
• BST_FSET pin is used to set the boost switching frequency through a resistor to signal ground.
• PWM_FSET pin is used to set the LED output PWM dimming frequency through a resistor to signal ground.
• MODE pin is used to set the dimming mode via an external resistor to signal ground.
• LED_SET pin is used to set the LED configuration through a resistor to signal ground.
• ISET pin is used to set the maximum LED current level per OUTx pin.
7.3.3 Device Supply (VDD)
All internal analog and digital blocks of LP8866S-Q1 are biased from external supply from VDD pin. Either a
typical 5-V or 3.3-V supply rail is able to supply VDD from previous linear regulator or DC/DC converter with at
least 150-mA current capability.
7.3.4 Enable (EN)
The LP8866S-Q1 only turns on when the input voltage of EN pin is above the voltage threshold (VENIH) and
turns off when the voltage of EN pin is below the threshold (VENIL). All analog and digital blocks start operating
once the LP8866S-Q1 is enabled by asserting EN pin. The SD pin is floating, I2C interface and Fault detection
are not active if the EN pin is de-asserted.
7.3.5 Charge Pump
An integrated regulated charge pump can be used to supply the gate drive for the external FET of the boost
controller. The charge pump is enabled or disabled by automatically detecting whether VDD and CPUMP pin are
connected together. If VDD is < 4.5 V then use the charge pump to generate a 5-V gate voltage to drive the
external boost switching FET. To use the charge pump, a 2.2-µF capacitor is placed between C1N and C1P. If
the charge pump is not required, C1N and C1P could be left unconnected and CPUMP pins tied to VDD. A 4.7µF CPUMP capacitor is used to store energy for the gate driver. The CPUMP capacitor is required to be used in
both charge pump enabled and disabled conditions and must be placed as close as possible to the CPUMP
pins. Figure 7-1and Figure 7-2 show required connections for both use cases.

If the charge pump is enabled, the CPCAP_STATUS bit shows whether a fly capacitor was detected and the
CP_STATUS bit shows status of any charge pump faults and generates an INT signal. The CP_INT_EN bit can
be used to prevent the charge-pump fault from causing an interrupt on the INT pin.
7.3.6 Boost Controller
The LP8866S-Q1 current-mode-controlled boost DC/DC controller generates the anode voltage for the LEDs.
The boost is a current-mode-controlled topology with a cycle by cycle current limit. The boost converter senses
the switch current and across the external sense resistor connected between ISNS and ISNSGND. A 20-mΩ
sense resistor results in a 10-A cycle by cycle current limit. The sense resistor value could vary from 15 mΩ to
50 mΩ depending on the application. Maximum boost voltage is configured with external FB-pin resistor divider
connected between VOUT and FB. The FB-divider equation is described in Section 7.3.6.3.

7.3.6.1 Boost Cycle-by-Cycle Current Limit
The voltage between ISNS and ISNSGND is used for both boost DC/DC controller's current sensing and cycleby-cycle current limit settings. When the cycle-by-cycle current limit is reached, the controller will turn off the
switching MOSFET immediately and turn on it again in next siwtching cycle. This cycle-by-cycle current limit
could be used as a common protection for all related DC/DC components (inductor, schottky diode and switching
MOSFET) to avoid current running over their max limit. Cycle-by-Cycle current limit won't trigger any faults of the
device.

7.3.6.3 Boost Adaptive Voltage Control
The LP8866S-Q1 boost DC/DC converter generates the anode voltage for the LEDs. During normal operation,
boost output voltage is adjusted automatically based on the LED current sink headroom voltages. This is called
adaptive boost control. The number of used LED outputs is set by LED_SET pin and only the active LED outputs
are monitored to control the adaptive boost voltage. Any LED strings with open or short faults are also removed
from the adaptive voltage control loop. The LED driver pin voltages are periodically monitored by the control loop
and the boost voltage is raised if any of the LED outputs falls below the VHEADROOM threshold. The boost voltage
is lowered until any of the LED outputs touch the VHEADROOM threshold. See Figure 7-4 for how the boost voltage
automatically scales based on the OUTx-pin voltage, VHEADROOM and VHEADROOM_HYS.

Figure 7-4. Adaptive Boost Voltage Control Loop Function
The resistive divider (R1, R2) defines both the minimum and maximum adaptive boost voltage levels. The
feedback circuit operates the same in boost and SEPIC topologies. Choose maximum boost voltage based on
the maximum LED string voltage specification. Before the LED drivers are active, the boost starts up to the initial
boost level. The initial boost voltage is approximately in the 88% point of minimum to maximum boost voltage.
Once the LED driver channels are active, the boost output voltage is adjusted automatically based on OUTx pin
voltages. The FB pin resistor divider also scales the boost OVP, OCP levels and the LED short level in HUD
application.

When the boost OVP_LOW level is reached, the boost controller stops switching the boost FET and the

When the boost OVP_LOW level is reached the boost controller stops switching the boost FET, and the
BSTOVPL_STATUS bit is set. The LED drivers are still active during this condition, and the boost resumes
normal switching operation once the boost output level falls. The boost OVP low voltage threshold changes
dynamically with current boost voltage. It is calculated in Equation 9:

7.3.6.3.3 FB Divider Using External Compensation
The device has internal compensation network to keep the DC-DC control loop in good stability in most cases.
However, an additional external compensation network could also be added on FB-pin to offer more flexibility in
loop design or solving some extreme use-cases.

It could be noted that R3 doesn't take part in the compensation. So this external compensation network could be
both used in two-divider netwrok and T-divider network with no equation change.
In real application, for example, when DC-DC loop has stability concern, putting the additional pole in 1 kHz and
the additional zero in 2 kHz will suppress the loop gain by approximately 6 dB after 2 kHz. This will benefit gain
margin and phase margin a lot.
7.3.6.4 Boost Sync and Spread Spectrum
Spread spectrum function could be enabled when BST_SYNC pin is high and disabled when BST_SYNC pin is
low.
If an external CLK signal is on the BST_SYNC pin, the boost controller can be clocked by this signal. If the clock
disappears later, the boost continues operation at the frequency defined by RBST_FSET resistor, and the
spread spectrum function will be enabled or disabled depending on the final pin level of BST_SYNC.

If using the external BST_SYNC input, the RBST_SET resistor should be chosen the closest boost frequency

The spread spectrum function helps to reduce EMI noise around the switching frequency and its harmonic
frequencies. The internal spread spectrum function modulates the boost frequency ±3.3% to 7.2% from the
central frequency with a 200-Hz to 1.2-kHz modulation frequency. The switching frequency variation is
programmable by SPREAD_RANGE register, and the modulation frequency is programmable by
SPREAD_MOD_FREQ register. The spread-spectrum function cannot be used when an external
synchronization clock is used.

7.3.6.5 Boost Output Discharge
When the EN pin is pulled low, the device stops the boost controller and LED current sinks, turns off the powerline FET, and starts to discharge the boost output. The discharge pin typically sinks 30-mA current. The
discharge duration is 400 ms. After 400 ms, the device shuts down. The DISCHARGE pin must be connected
with boost output for normal operation.
There is one internal comparator to monitor the voltage of DISCHARGE pin. As soon as the voltage of
DISCHARGE pin is higher than VBST_OVPH (typically 50 V), the device enters into fault recovery mode, and
BST_OVPH fault is reported. This provides further protection if boost voltage is out of control because of system
failure.
Discharge function is only available in HTSSOP package. It's not available in QFN package.
7.3.6.6 Light Load Mode
The DC-DC controller will enter into light load mode in below condition:
•
•
•
VIN voltage is very close to VOUT
Loading current is very low
PWM pulse width is very short
When DC-DC converter enters into light load mode, it stops switching occasionally to make sure output voltage
won't rise up too much. It could also be called as PFM mode, since the DC-DC converter switching frequency
will change in this mode.

The LEDx_CURRENT[11:0] registers can also be used to adjust strings current down from this maximum. The
default value for LEDx_CURRENT[11:0] registers is the maximum 0xFFF(4095). Equation 15 is used to calculate
the current setting of an individual string:

7.3.7.2 LED Output String Configuration
The Six LED driver channels of the LP8866S-Q1 device is configured by the LED_SET resistor, which supports
applications using one to Six LED strings. Resistor with 1% accuracy is needed to ensure proper operation. The
driver channels can also be tied together in groups of one, two or three. This allows the LP8866S-Q1 device to
drive three 300-mA LED strings, two 450-mA LED strings, or one 900-mA LED string. The LED strings are
always appropriately phase shifted for their string configuration. This reduces the ripple seen at the boost output,
which allows smaller output capacitors and reduces audible ringing in the capacitors. Phase shift increases the

frequency low to support a higher dimming ratio.
When the LP8866S-Q1 device is firstly powered on, the string configuration is configured by the LED_SET
resistor and the phases of each channel are automatically configured. The LED string configuration must not be

7.3.7.3 LED Output PWM Clock Generation
The LED PWM frequency is asynchronous from the input PWM frequency. The LED PWM frequency is
generated from the internal 20-MHz oscillator and can be set to eight discrete frequencies from 152 Hz to 19.531
kHz. The PWM dimming resolution is highest when the lowest PWM frequency is used. The PWM_FSET resistor
determines the LED PWM frequency based on Table 7-8. PWM resolution in Table 7-8 is with PWM dither
disabled.
7.3.8 Brightness Control
The LP8866S-Q1 supports global brightness control for all LED strings through either duty cycle input on PWM
pin or register by I2C bus. An internal 20-MHz clock is used for generating PWM outputs.
7.3.8.1 Brightness Control Signal Path
The BRT_MODE register selects whether the input to the display brightness path is the PWM input pin or
DISP_BRT register. PWM input control will be the default setup after power on. The brightness control signal
path diagram is shown in Figure 7-9
The display brightness path has sloper function that can be enabled. By default the sloper function is enabled.
The sloper and dither function also can be programmable by I2C control. The sloper function is described in
Section 7.3.8.7, and the dither function is described in Section 7.3.8.9.

7.3.8.5 Hybrid Mode
In addition to phase-shift PWM dimming, LP8866S-Q1 supports a hybrid-dimming mode. Hybrid dimming
combines PWM and current modes for brightness control for the display brightness path. By using hybrid
dimming, dimming ratio could be increased by another 8 times. In hybrid mode, PWM dimming is used for low
brightness range of brightness, and current dimming is used for high brightness levels as shown in Figure 7-11.
Current dimming control enables improved optical efficiency due to increased LED efficiency at lower currents.
PWM dimming control at low brightness levels ensures linear and accurate control. Hybrid mode can be selected
through resistor value at MODE pin as Table 7-7. The PWM and current modes transition threshold can be set at
12.5% or at 0% brightness. The latter selection allows for pure current dimming control mode.

7.3.8.8 PWM Detector Hysteresis
PWM detector has an internal hysteresis function. It means when PWM input is used (except direct PWM mode),
PWM output duty cycle will change only when PWM input on-time changes by more than 6.4us. This is to avoid
the PWM duty cycle sampling error due to the onboard PWM signal's rising/falling time.
7.3.8.9 Dither
The number of brightness steps when using LED output PWM dimming is equal to the 20-MHz oscillator
frequency divided by the LED PWM frequency (set by PWM_FSET resistor). The PWM duty cycle dither is a
function the LP8866S-Q1 uses to increase the number of brightness dimming steps beyond this oscillator clock
limitation. The dither function modulates the LED driver output duty cycle over time to create more possible
average brightness levels. The DITHER_SELECT[3:0] register bits control the level of dither, disabled, 1, 2, 3 or
4 bits using the I2C interface. By default the dither is disabled.
When the 1-bit dither is selected, to support higher brightness resolution, the width of every second PWM pulse
could be increased by one LSB (one 20-MHz clock period). When the 3-bit dither is selected, within a sequence
of 8 PWM periods the number of pulses with increased length varies depending on the dither value: dither value
000 - all 8 pulses at default length; 001 - one of the 8 pulses is longer; 010 - two of the 8 pulses are longer, and
so forth, until at 111 - seven of the 8 pulses have increased length. Figure 7-14 shows one example of PWM
output dither.

Figure 7-14. PWM Dither Example
The dither block also helps in low brightness scenario when dimming ratio is limited by LED PWM output
frequency and the LED output pulse is less than the minimum pulse width (200 ns). In such scenario, the dither
block will skip some of the PWM pulses to reduce the brightness further, enabling high dimming ratio. The end
result is that the LED PWM frequency is reduced as more and more minimum pulses are skipped or dithered
out. At the same time, dither block will also guarantee that the minimum LED PWM frequency is not less than
152 Hz to ensure no brightness flickering. Figure 7-15 shows how the dither works in low brightness scenario.

The LP8866S-Q1 device includes fault detections for LED open, short and short-to-GND conditions, boost input
undervoltage, overvoltage and overcurrent, boost output overvoltage and overcurrent, VDD undervoltage, die
overtemperature and external components. The host can monitor the status of the faults in registers
SUPPLY_FAULT_STATUS, BOOST_FAULT_STATUS and LED_STATUS.
7.3.9.1 Supply Faults
7.3.9.1.1 VIN Undervoltage Faults (VINUVLO)
The LP8866S-Q1 device supports VIN undervoltage and overvoltage protection. The undervoltage threshold is
programmable through external resistor divider on UVLO pin. If during operation of the LP8866S-Q1 device, the
UVLO pin voltage falls below the UVLO falling level (0.787 V typical), the boost, LED outputs, and power-line
FET will be turned off, and the device will enter STANDBY mode. The VINUVLO_STATUS bit is also set in the
SUPPLY_FAULT_STATUS register, and the INT pin is triggered. When the UVLO voltage rises above the rising
threshold level the LP8866S-Q1 exits STANDBY and begins the start-up sequence.

VSENSE_P pin voltage rises above the OVP rising threshold, boost, LED outputs, and power-line FET will be
turned off, and the device will enter STANDBY mode. The VINOVP_STATUS bit will also be set in the

MOSFET) in normal scenario, avoiding current running over their max limit. The normal scenario means when
loading has sharp change or input voltage has sharp change. It won't trigger any device fault.
VIN OCP current limit is to protect system from ciritical system hazard (e.g, inductor short, switching MOSFET
short). It will trigger the device to shutdown all the LED channels and enter into fault recovery state.
VIN OCP current limit should be always greater than boost cycle-by-cycle current limit. This means RISENSE
should be always no smaller than RSENSE.

SNVSBD1A – AUGUST 2020 – REVISED FEBRUARY 2021
7.3.9.1.5 Charge Pump Faults (CPCAP, CP)
If during LP8866S-Q1 device operation voltage of CPUMP pin falls below typical 4.2-V, boost, power-line FET,
and LED outputs are turned off, and the device enters Fault Recovery mode and then attempt to restart 100 ms
after fault occurs. The CP_STATUS fault bit will beset in the SUPPLY_FAULT_STATUS register, and the INT pin
are triggered.
If during LP8866S-Q1 device initialization, the charge pump fly capacitor is disconnected or shorted, charge
pump are turned off. In result, boost, power-line FET, and LED outputs are turned off, and the device enters
Fault Recovery mode and then attempt to restart 100 ms after fault occurs. Both CPCAP_STATUS and
CP_STATUS fault bits are set in the SUPPLY_FAULT_STATUS register, and the INT pin are triggered.
7.3.9.1.6 CRC Error Faults (CRCERR)
If during LP8866S-Q1 device initialization, the factory default configuration for registers, options and trim bits are
not corrected loaded from memory, LP8866S-Q1 keeps operating normally, unless other fault criteria is
triggered. The CRCERR_STATUS fault bit are set in the SUPPLY_FAULT_STATUS register and the INT pin are
triggered.
7.3.9.2 Boost Faults
7.3.9.2.1 Boost Overvoltage Faults (BSTOVPL, BSTOVPH)
Boost overvoltage is detected if the FB pin voltage exceeds the VFB_OVPL threshold. When boost overvoltage is
detected, BSTOVPL_STATUS bit will be set in the BOOST_FAULT_STATUS register. The boost FET stops
switching, and the output voltage will be automatically limited. If the BSTOVPL_STATUS bit is continually set
(that is, reappears after clearing), it may indicate an loop issue in the application. Boost overvoltage low is
monitored during device Boost Softstart and Normal mode.
A second boost overvoltage high fault is detected if the FB pin voltage exceeds the VFB_OVPH threshold or the
DISCHARGE pin voltage exceeds the VBST_OVPH. The LP8866S-Q1 device enters the fault recovery state to
protect system damage from a high boost voltage. When boost overvoltage is detected, BSTOVPH_STATUS bit
is set in the BOOST_FAULT_STATUS register. A fault interrupt is also generated. The device enters Fault
Recovery mode and then attempt to restart after 100 ms. Boost overvoltage high is monitored during Boost
Softstart and Normal mode.
7.3.9.2.2 Boost Overcurrent Faults (BSTOCP)
Boost overcurrent is detected if the FB pin voltage drops below the VUVP threshold for 110 ms. If the boost
overcurrent timer expires before the output voltage recovers, the BSTOCP_STATUS bit is set in the
BOOST_FAULT_STATUS register. The fault recovery state is entered, and a fault interrupt is generated. The
device will enter Fault Recovery mode and then attempt to restart after 100 ms. If the BSTOCP_STATUS bit is
permanently set, it may indicate an issue in the application. Boost overcurrent is monitored from the boost start,
and fault may trigger during boost start-up.
7.3.9.2.3 LEDSET Resistor Missing Faults (LEDSET)
The LEDSET resistor missing or invalid is detected if the resistor is not assembled or not valid value as
requested during the initialization. The LP8866S-Q1 device defaults to 6-channel/150-mA configuration if the
LEDSET resistor is missing or invalid. The LEDSET_STATUS fault bit is set in the BOOST_FAULT_STATUS
register. The LEDSET resistor missing or invalid fault will not be monitored after initialization, so that the
LP8866S-Q1 is operating in the configuration determined during initialization even though the LEDSET resistor
is missing or invalid after initialization.
7.3.9.2.4 MODE Resistor Missing Faults (MODESEL)
The MODE resistor missing or invalid is detected if the resistor is not assembled or not valid value as requested
during the initialization. LP8866S-Q1 defaults to phase-shift PWM mode with I2C address 0x2A if the MODE
resistor is missing or invalid. The MODESEL_STATUS fault bit will be set in the BOOST_FAULT_STATUS
register. The MODE resistor missing or invalid fault is not monitored after initialization, so that the LP8866S-Q1
operates in the mode determined during initialization even though the MODE resistor is missing or invalid after
initialization.

7.3.9.2.5 FSET Resistor Missing Faults (FSET)
The FSET resistor missing or invalid for both BOOST_FSET and PWM_FSET is detected if any one of them is
not assembled or not a valid value as requested during the initialization. LP8866S-Q1 defaults the switching
frequency of boost to 400 kHz if BOOST_FSET resistor is missing or invalid, or PWM dimming frequency to 305
Hz if PWM_FSET resistor is missing or invalid. The FSET_STATUS fault bit is set in the
BOOST_FAULT_STATUS register. The FSET resistor missing or invalid fault is not monitored after initialization,
so that the LP8866S-Q1 device operates at the boost switching frequency and the PWM dimming frequency
determined during initialization even though the FSET resistor is missing or invalid after initialization.
7.3.9.2.6 ISET Resistor Out of Range Faults (ISET)
If the ISET pin resistor is shorted to GND during normal operation, the maximum current for each LED channel
can be calculated in Equation 20 :
§ LED_CURRENT[11:0] ·
ILED_ISET_FAULT = ILED _ LIMIT u ¨
¸
4095
©
¹
(20)
where
•
ILED_LIMIT = 280 mA
LED_CURRENT[11:0] register will be automatically modified to 1/4 of latest programmed data. if it is not
programmed after device enabling, the default value of LED_CURRENT[11:0] register is 0xFFF and
automatically modified to 0x3FF after the fault occurs. If ISET pin voltage returns back to above 1.1 V, the
LED_CURRENT[11:0] register data automatically returns to latest programmed data. The ISET_STATUS fault bit
will be set in the BOOST_FAULT_STATUS register and the INT pin is triggered.
7.3.9.2.7 Thermal Shutdown Faults (TSD)
If the die temperature of LP8866S-Q1 reaches the thermal shutdown threshold TSD, the boost, power-line FET,
and LED outputs on LP8866S-Q1 shuts down to protect the device from damage. Fault status bit TSD_STATUS
bit will be set, and the INT pin will be triggered. The device restarts the power-line FET, the boost, and LED
outputs when temperature drops by TSD_HYS amount.
7.3.9.3 LED Faults
7.3.9.3.1 Open LED Faults (OPEN_LED)
During normal boost operation, boost voltage is raised if any of the used LED outputs falls below the
LED_DRV_HEADROOM threshold level. Open LED fault is detected if boost output voltage has reached the
maximum and at least one LED output is still below the threshold. The open string is then disconnected from the
boost adaptive control loop and its output is disabled. Any LED fault sets the status bit LED_STATUS and an
interrupt is generated unless LED interrupt is disabled. The detail of open LED faults can be read from bits
OPEN_LED and LEDx_FAULT (x = 1...6). These bits maintain their value until device power-down. But the
LED_STATUS bit could be cleared by the interrupt clearing procedure. If a new LED fault is detected,
LED_STATUS is set and an interrupt generated again.

7.3.9.3.2 Short LED Faults (SHORT_LED)
Short LED fault is detected if one or more LED outputs are above the VLEDSHORT typical 5.4 V and at least one
LED output is inside the normal operation window (see Figure 7-18). Shorted string is disconnected from the
boost adaptive control loop and the LED PWM output is disabled. LED_STATUS status bit is set and an interrupt
generated similarly as in open LED case. Detailed shorted LED fault can be read from bits SHORT_LED and
LEDx_FAULT (x = 1...6), indicating the faulty LED) in LED_FAULT_STATUS register.
In HUD application, when output channels are connected as groups and only one or two groups are active, one
more special condition will trigger the short LED fault. This is when boost adaptive voltage comes to minimum
and one of the LED channels voltage is still higher than VHEADROOM + VHEADROOM_HYS.
7.3.9.3.3 LED Short to GND Faults (GND_LED)
During boost soft start and normal boost operation, if LED output is lower than VSHORTGND for 20 ms, device
turns off the corresponding LED output channel and output a typical 6-mA current for 300-µs period again. After
this operation, if output voltage is still lower than VHEADROOM, LED short to GND fault will be reported.
If LED short to GND is reported, boost, LED outputs and power-line FET is turned off, the device will enter Fault
Recovery mode. LED_STATUS bit is set and an interrupt generated similarly as in open LED case. LED short to
GND fault reason can be read from bits LED_GND and LEDx_FAULT (x = 1...6) in LED_FAULT_STATUS
register. These bits maintain their value until device powers are down while the LED_STATUS bit is cleared by
the interrupt clearing procedure.
7.3.9.3.4 Invalid LED String Faults (INVSTRING)
During device initialization, any of un-used LED outputs pins are checked whether connected to GND or not. If
they are not connected to GND as expected, the LP8866S-Q1 reports invalid string fault and tries to function
normally if possible. The INVSTRING_STATUS fault bit is set in the LED_FAULT_STATUS register, and the INT
pin is triggered. The LEDSET resistor missing or invalid fault is not detected after initialization, so that the
LP8866S-Q1 operates in the configuration determined during initialization even though the LEDSET resistor is
missing or invalid after initialization.

7.5.2 Programming Examples
7.5.2.1 General Configuration Registers
The LP8866S-Q1 does not require any serial interface configuration. It can be simply controlled with the EN pin
and PWM pin. Most of the device configuration is accomplished using external resistor values. If I2C interface is
available then extended configuration is possible. The configuration registers can be written from standby state
to normal state as shown in Table 7-10.
Table 7-10. Configuration Registers
REGISTER NAME
FUNCTION
ADV_SLOPE_ENABLE
Enables advance sloper S-shape smoothing function.
DITHER_SELECT
Selects up to 3 bits of PWM dither for added dimming resolution.
SLOPE_SELECT
Selects duration for linear brightness sloper.
BRT_MODE
Selects PWM pin or DISPLAY_BRT register for brightness control.
SPREAD_RANGE
Selects up to 2 bits boost switching frequency spread spectrum range.
SPREAD_MOD_FREQ
Selects up to 2 bits boost switching frequency spread spectrum modulation frequency.
SPREAD_PSEUDO_EN
Enables pseudo random modulation for boost switching spread spectrum frequency.
7.5.2.2 Clearing Fault Interrupts
The LP8866S-Q1 has an INT pin to alert the host when a fault occurs. If I2C interface is available, the Interrupt
Fault Status registers can be read back to learn which fault(s) have been detected. These status bits are located
in the SUPPLY_STATUS, BOOST_STATUS and LED_STATUS registers. Each interrupt status has a STATUS bit
and a CLEAR bit. To clear a fault interrupt status a 1 must be written to both the STATUS bit and CLEAR bit at
the same time.
7.5.2.3 Disabling Fault Interrupts
By default, most of the LP8866S-Q1 faults trigger the INT pin. Each fault has two INT_EN bits. These bits are
located in the SUPPLY_INT_EN, BOOST_INT_EN, and LED_INT_EN registers. If the INT_EN bit is read and
returns 2b'10, the INT pin is triggered when that fault occurs. The fault interrupt can be disabled by writing 2b'01
to its INT_EN bits, or it can be enabled by writing 2b'11 to its INT_EN bits. There is also a GLOBAL fault interrupt
that can be disabled to prevent any faults from triggering the INT pin.
7.5.2.4 Diagnostic Registers
The LP8866S-Q1 contains several diagnostic registers than can be read with the serial interface for debugging
or additional device information. Table 7-11 is a summary of the available registers.

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, as well as validating and testing their design
implementation to confirm system functionality.
8.1 Application Information
The LP8866S-Q1 device is designed for automotive applications, and an input voltage VIN is intended to be
connected to the vehicle battery. Depending on the input voltage, the device may be used in either boost mode
or SEPIC mode. The device is internally powered from the VDD pin, and voltage must be in 2.7-V to 5.5-V
range. The device has flexible configurability through external components or by an I2C interface. If the VDD
voltage is not high enough to drive an external nMOSFET gate, an internal charge pump must be used to power
the gate driver (GD pin).
8.2 Typical Applications
8.2.1 Full Feature Application for Display Backlight
Figure 8-1 shows a full application for the LP8866S-Q1 device in a boost topology. It supports 6 LED strings in
display mode, each at 150 mA, with an automatic 60° phase shift. Brightness control register is used for LED
dimming method through I2C communication. The charge pump is enabled for a 400-kHz boost switching
frequency with spread spectrum.

8.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.1.2.1 Inductor Selection
There are a few things to consider when choosing an inductor: inductance, current rating, and DC resistance
(DCR). Table 8-2 shows recommended inductor values for each operating frequency. The LP8866S-Q1 device
automatically sets internal boost compensation controls depending on the selected switching frequency.

The current rating of inductor must be at least 25% higher than maximum boost switching current ISW(max), which
can be calculated with Equation 21. TI recommends to use an inductor with low DCR to achieve good efficiency.
Efficiency varies with load condition, switching frequency, and components. 80% can be used as a typical
estimation. 65% efficiency needs to take into account in extreme condition.

L: Inductance
VOUT: Output voltage

8.2.1.2.2 Output Capacitor Selection
Recommended voltage rating for output capacitors is 50% higher than maximum output voltage level.
Capacitance value determines voltage ripple and boost stability. The DC-bias effect can reduce the effective
capacitance significantly, by up to 80%, a consideration for capacitance value selection. The conservative target
effective capacitance is 50 µF to achieve good phase and gain margin levels. A design table in product webpage
could be refered for the target effective capacitance in a certain application. TI recommends using 33-µF Alpolymer electrolytic capacitor together with 10-µF ceramic capacitors in parallel to reduce ripple, increase
stability, and reduce ESR effect.
8.2.1.2.3 Input Capacitor Selection
Recommended input capacitance is the same as output capacitance although input capacitors are not as critical
to boost operation. Input capacitance can be reduced but must ensure enough filtering for input power.
8.2.1.2.4 Charge Pump Output Capacitor
TI recommends a ceramic capacitor with at least 10-V voltage rating for the output capacitor of the charge pump.
A 10-μF capacitor can be used for most applications.
8.2.1.2.5 Charge Pump Flying Capacitor
TI recommends a ceramic capacitor with at least 10-V voltage rating for the flying capacitor of the charge pump.
One 2.2-μF capacitor connecting C1P and C1N pins can be used for most applications.
8.2.1.2.6 Output Diode
A Schottky diode must be used for the boost output diode. Current rating must be at least 25% higher than the
maximum output current. Schottky diodes with a low forward drop and fast switching speeds are ideal for
increasing efficiency. At maximum current, the forward voltage must be as low as possible; less than 0.5 V is
recommended. Reverse breakdown voltage of the Schottky diode must be significantly larger than the output
voltage, 25% higher voltage rating is recommended. Do not use ordinary rectifier diodes, because slow switching
speeds and long recovery times cause efficiency and load regulation to suffer.
8.2.1.2.7 Switching FET
Gate-drive voltage for the FET is 5V. Switching FET is a critical component for determining power efficiency of
the boost converter. Several aspects need to be considered when selecting switching FET such as voltage and
current rating, RDSON, power dissipation, thermal resistance and rise/fall times. An N type MOSFET with at least
25% higher voltage rating than maximum output voltage must be used. Current rating of switching FET should
be same or higher than inductor rating. RDSON must be as low as possible, less than 20 mΩ is recommended.
Thermal resistance (RθJA) must also be low to dissipate heat from power loss on switching FET. In most cases, a
resistance is recommended between GD pin and Switching FET's gate terminal. It could be used to control the
rising/falling time of the switching FET. This gate resistance could offer the flexibility of balancing between EMC
performance and efficiency.
8.2.1.2.8 Boost Sense Resistor
The RSENSE resistor determines the boost overcurrent limit and is sensed every boost switching cycle. A highpower 20-mΩ resistor can be used for sensing the boost SW current and setting maximum current limit at 10 A
(typical). RSENSE can be increased to lower this limit and can be calculated with Equation 22. In typical condition,
to avoid too much efficiency loss on RSENSE resistor, boost overcurrent limit is recommended to be set above 4A,
therefore RSENSE doesn't exceed 50 mΩ. Power rating can be calculated from the inductor current and sense
resistor resistance value.

8.2.1.2.9 Power-Line FET
A power line FET can be used to disconnect input power from boost input to protect the LP8866S-Q1 device and
boost components in case an overcurrent event occurs. A P type MOSFET is used for the power-line FET.
Voltage rating must be at least 25% higher than maximum input voltage level. Low RDSON is important to reduce
power loss on the FET — less than 20 mΩ is recommended. Current rating for the FET must be at least 25%
higher than input peak current. Minimum Gate-to-Source voltage (VGS) to turn on transistor fully must be less
than minimum input voltage; use a 20-kΩ resistor between the pFET gate and source.
8.2.1.2.10 Input Current Sense Resistor
A high-power resistor can be used for sensing the boost input current. Overcurrent condition is detected when
the voltage across RISENSE reaches 220 mV. Typical 20-mΩ sense resistor is used to set 11-A input current limit.
Sense resistor value can be increased to lower overcurrent limit for application as needed. Power rating can be
calculated from the input current and resistance value.
8.2.1.2.11 Feedback Resistor Divider
Feedback resistors RFB1 and R FB2 determine the maximum boost output level. Output voltage can be calculated
as in Equation 23:

8.2.2 Application with Basic/Minimal Operation
The LP8866S-Q1 needs only a few external components for basic functionality if material cost and PCB area for
a solution need to be minimized. In this example LP8866S-Q1 is configured with external components and no
I2C communication. The power-line FET is removed, as is input current sensing. Internal charge pump is not
used, and all external synchronization functions and special features are disabled. The 33-µF Al-polymer
electrolytic capacitor is removed for PCB area and height limitation. And boost external compensation is used to
compensate the removal of the 33-µF Al-polymer electrolytic capacitor.

8.2.3 SEPIC Mode Application
When LED string voltage can be above and below the input voltage level, use the SEPIC configuration. In
SEPIC mode, the SW pin detects a maximum voltage equal to the sum of the input and output voltages, a
consideration when selecting components.

8.2.3.2 Detailed Design Procedure
8.2.3.2.1 Inductor Selection
Inductance for both inductors can be selected from Table 8-6, depending on operating frequency for the
application. Current rating is recommended to be at least 25% higher than maximum inductor peak current.
Peak-to-peak ripple current can be estimated to be approximately 40% of the maximum input current and and
inductor peak current can be calculated with Equation 24, Equation 25, and Equation 26:

8.2.3.2.2 Coupling Capacitor Selection
The coupling capacitors Cs isolate the input from the output and provide protection against a shorted load. The
selection of SEPIC capacitors, Cs, depends mostly on the RMS current, which can be calculated with Equation
27. The capacitors must be rated for a large RMS current relative to the output power; TI recommends at least
25% higher rating for IRMS. When using uncoupled inductors, use one 10-µF ceramic capacitor in parallel with
one 33-µF electrolytic capacitor and series 2-Ω resistor. If coupled inductors are used, then use only one 10-µF
ceramic capacitor.

also recommended to be 25% higher than peak current, which can be calculated with Equation 28. RDSON must
be as low as possible — less than 20 mΩ is recommended. Thermal resistance (RθJA) must also be low to
dissipate heat from power loss on switching FET. Typical rise/fall time values recommended are less than 10 ns.

8.2.3.2.8 Output Diode
A Schottky diode must be used for the SEPIC output diode. Current rating must be at least 25% higher than the
maximum current, which is the same as switch peak current. Schottky diodes with a low forward drop and fast
switching speeds are ideal for increasing efficiency. At maximum current, the forward voltage must be as low as
possible; TI recommends less than 0.5 V. Reverse breakdown voltage of the Schottky diode must be able to
withstand VIN(max) + VOUT(max); at least 25% higher voltage rating is recommended. Do not use ordinary rectifier
diodes, because slow switching speeds and long recovery times cause efficiency and load regulation to suffer.

9 Power Supply Recommendations
The LP8866S-Q1 is designed to operate from a car battery. The VIN input must be protected from reverse
voltage and voltage dump condition over 48 V. The impedance of the input supply rail must be low enough that
the input current transient does not cause drop below VIN UVLO level. If the input supply is connected with long
wires, additional bulk capacitance may be required in addition to normal input capacitor.
The voltage range for VDD is 3 V to 5.5 V. A ceramic capacitor must be placed as close as possible to the VDD
pin. The boost gate driver is powered from the CPUMP pins. A ceramic capacitor must be placed as close to the
CPUMP pins as possible.

10 Layout
10.1 Layout Guidelines
Figure 10-1 shows a layout recommendation for the LP8866S-Q1 used to illustrate the principles of good layout.
This layout can be adapted to the actual application layout if and where possible. It is important that all boost
components are close to each other and to the chip; the high-current traces must be wide enough. VDD must be
as noise-free as possible. Place a VDD bypass capacitor near the VDD and GND pins. A charge-pump capacitor,
boost input capacitors, and boost output capacitors must have closest VIAs to GND. Place the charge-pump
capacitors close to the device. The main points to guide the PCB layout design:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•

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 each other. 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 follow the 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.
– For high frequency the copper area capacitance must be taken into account. For example, the copper
area for the drain of boost N-MOSFET is a tradeoff between capacitance and the cooling capacity of the
components.
GND plane must be intact under the high-current-boost traces to provide shortest possible return path and
smallest possible current loops for high frequencies.
Route boost output voltage (VOUT) to LEDs, FB pin & Discharge pin after output capacitors not straight from
the diode cathode.
FB network should be placed as close as possible to the FB pin, not near boost output
A small bypass capacitor (TI recommends a 39-pF capacitor) could be placed close to the FB pin and GND to
suppress high frequency noise
VDD line must be separated from the high current supply path to the boost converter to prevent high
frequency ripple affecting the chip behavior.
Capacitor connected to charge pump output CPUMP is recommended to have 10-µF capacitance. This
capacitor must be as close as possible to CPUMP pin. This capacitor provides a greater peak current for gate
driver and must be used even if the charge pump is disabled. If the charge pump is disabled, the VDD and
CPUMP pins must be tied together.
Input and output capacitors need low-impedance grounding (wide traces with many vias to GND plane).
Input/output ceramic capacitors have DC-bias effect. If the output capacitance is too low, it can cause boost
to become unstable under certain load conditions. DC bias characteristics should be obtained from the
component manufacturer; DC bias is not taken into account on component tolerance.
