The TPS61163 is a dual-channel WLED driver that
provides highly integrated solutions for single-cell Liion battery-powered smartphone backlights. The
device has a built-in high-efficiency boost regulator
with integrated 1.5-A, 40-V power MOSFET and
supports a voltage as low as 2.7 V. With two high
current-matching-capability current-sink regulators,
the device can drive up to 10s2p WLED diodes. The
boost output can automatically adjust to the WLED
forward voltage and allows very low voltageheadroom control, thus effectively improving the
efficiency of the LED strings.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The TPS61163 is a high efficiency, dual-channel white LED driver for smart phone backlighting applications. Two
current sink regulators of high current-matching capability are integrated in the TPS61163 to support dual LED
strings connection, to improve the current balance and protect the LED diodes when either LED string is open or
short.
The TPS61163 integrates all of the key function blocks to power and control up to 20 white LED diodes. It
includes a 40-V/1.5-A boost converter, two current sink regulators, and protection circuit for overcurrent,
overvoltage and thermal shutdown protection.
In order to provide high brightness backlighting for big size or high resolution smartphone panels, a greater
quantity of white LED diodes are used. Having all LED diodes in a string improves overall current matching;
however, the output voltage of a boost converter is limited when input voltage is low, and normally the efficiency
drops when output voltage goes very high. Thus, the LED diodes are arranged in two parallel strings.

8.3 Feature Description
8.3.1 Boost Converter
The boost converter of the TPS61163 integrates a 40-V, 1.5-A low-side switch MOSFET and has a fixed
switching frequency of 1.2 MHz. The control architecture is based on traditional current-mode PWM control. For
operation see the block diagram. Two current sinks regulate the dual-channel current and the boost output is
automatically set by regulating voltage of the IFBx pin. The output of error amplifier and the sensed current of
switch MOSFET are applied to a control comparator to generate the boost switching duty cycle; slope
compensation is added to the current signal to allow stable operation for duty cycles larger than 50%.
In order to ensure that both current sinks remain in regulation whenever there is a mismatch in string voltages
while the power dissipation of the current sink regulators is minimized, the minimum headroom voltage between
IFB1 and IFB2 becomes the regulation point for the boost converter. For example, if the LEDs connected to IFB1
require 20 V, and the LEDs connected to IFB2 require 20.5 V at the programmed current, then the voltage at
IFB2 is about 90 mV, and the voltage at IFB1 is about 0.59 V. In other words, the boost makes the cathode of
the highest voltage LED string the regulation point.
8.3.2 IFBX Pin Unused
If only one channel is needed, a user can easily disable the unused channel by connecting its IFBx pin to
ground. If both IFBx pins are connected to ground, the device does not start up.
8.3.3 Enable and Start-up
In order to enable the device from shutdown mode, three conditions have to be met:
1. Power-on reset (POR) (that is, VIN voltage is higher than UVLO threshold);
2. Logic high on EN pin; and
3. PWM signal (logic high or PWM pulses) on PWM pin.
The TPS61163 supports two dimming interfaces: one-wire digital interface (EasyScale interface) and PWM
interface. The TPS61163 begins an EasyScale detection window after start-up to detect which interface is
selected. If the EasyScale interface is needed, signals of a specific pattern must be input into EN pin during the
EasyScale detection window; otherwise, PWM dimming interface is enabled (see details in One-Wire Digital
Interface (Easyscale Interface) ).
After the EasyScale detection window, the TPS61163 checks the status of IFBx pins. If one IFBx pin is detected
as connected to ground, the corresponding channel is disabled and removed from the control loop. Then the soft
start begins, and the boost converter starts switching. If both IFBx pins are shorted to ground, the TPS61163
does not start up.
Either pulling EN pin low for more than 2.5 ms or pulling PWM pin low for more than 20 ms can disable the
device, and the TPS61163 enters into shutdown mode.
8.3.4 Soft Start
Soft start is implemented internally to prevent voltage overshoot and in-rush current. After the IFBx pin status
detection, the COMP pin voltage starts ramp up, and the boost starts switching. During the beginning 5 ms
(tHalf_LIM) of the switching, the peak current of the switch MOSFET is limited at ILIM_Start (0.7 A typical) to avoid the
input inrush current. After the first 5 ms, the current limit is changed to ILIM (1.5 A typical) to allow the normal
operation of the boost converter.

Feature Description (continued)
8.3.5 Full-Scale Current Program
The dual channels of the TPS61163 can provide up to 30 mA current each. It does not matter whether either the
EasyScale interface or the PWM interface is selected — the full-scale current (current when dimming duty cycle
is 100%) of each channel must be programmed by an external resistor RISET at the ISET pin according to
Equation 1.
VISET _ full
IFB _ full =
´ KISET _ full
RISET
where
•
•
•
•
IFB_full, full-scale current of each channel
KISET_full = 1030 (current multiple when dimming duty cycle = 100%)
VISET_full = 1.229 V (ISET pin voltage when dimming duty cycle = 100%)
RISET = ISET pin resistor
(1)
8.3.6 Brightness Control
The TPS61163 controls the DC current of the dual channels to realize the brightness dimming. The DC current
control is normally referred to as analog dimming mode. When the DC current of LED diode is reduced, the
brightness is dimmed.
The TPS61163 can receive either the PWM signals at the PWM pin (PWM interface) or digital commands at the
EN pin (EasyScale interface) for brightness dimming. If the EasyScale interface is selected, the PWM pin must
be kept high; if PWM interface is selected, the EN pin must be kept high.
8.3.7 Undervoltage Lockout
An undervoltage lockout circuit prevents the operation of the device at input voltages below undervoltage
threshold (2.2 V typical). When the input voltage is below the threshold, the device is shut down. If the input
voltage rises by undervoltage lockout hysteresis, the device restarts.
8.3.8 Overvoltage Protection
Overvoltage protection circuitry prevents device damage as the result of white LED string disconnection or
shortage.
The TPS61163 monitors the voltages at SW pin and IFBx pin during each switching cycle. No matter either SW
OVP threshold VOVP_SW or IFBx OVP threshold VOVP_FB is reached due to the LED string open or short issue, the
protection circuitry is triggered. Refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 for the protection actions.
If one LED string is open, its IFBx pin voltage drops, and the boost output voltage is increased by the control
loop as it tries to regulate this lower IFBx voltage to the target value (90 mV typical). For the normal string, its
current is still under regulation but its IFBx voltage increases along with the output voltage. During the process,
either the SW voltage reaches its OVP threshold VOVP_SW or the voltage of the IFBx normal string reaches the
IFBx OVP threshold VOVP_FB, then the protection circuitry is triggered accordingly.
If both LED strings are open, the voltages of both IFBx pins drop to ground, the boost output voltage is increased
by the control loop until reaching the SW OVP threshold VOVP_SW, the SW OVP protection circuitry is triggered,
and the device is latched off. Only VIN POR or EN/PWM pin toggling can restart the device.
One LED diode short in a string is allowed for the TPS61163. If one LED diode in a string is short, the IFBx
voltage of the normal string is regulated to about 90 mV, and the IFBx pin voltage of the abnormal string is
higher. Normally with only one diode short, the higher IFBx pin voltage does not reach the IFBx OVP threshold
VOVP_FB, so the protection circuitry is not triggered.
If more than one LED diodes are short in a string, as the boost loop regulates the IFBx voltage of the normal
string to 90 mV, the IFBx pin voltage of the abnormal string is much higher and reaches VOVP_FB; the protection
circuitry is then triggered.
The SW OVP protection is also triggered when the forward voltage drop of an LED string exceeds the SW OVP
threshold. In this case, the device turns off the switch FET and shuts down.

8.3.9 Overcurrent Protection
The TPS61163 has a pulse-by-pulse overcurrent limit. The boost switch turns off when the inductor current
reaches this current threshold, and it remains off until the beginning of the next switching cycle. This protects the
TPS61163 and external component under overload conditions.
8.3.10 Thermal Shutdown
An internal thermal shutdown turns off the device when the typical junction temperature of 160°C is exceeded.
The device is released from shutdown automatically when the junction temperature decreases by 15°C.

8.4 Device Functional Modes
8.4.1 One-Wire Digital Interface (Easyscale Interface)
The EN pin features a simple digital interface to allow digital brightness control. The digital dimming interface can
save the processor power and battery life as it does not require PWM signals all the time, and the processor can
enter idle mode if possible. In order to enable the EasyScale interface, the following conditions must be satisfied
and the specific digital pattern on the EN pin must be recognized by the device every time the TPS61163 starts
up from shutdown mode.
1. VIN voltage is higher than UVLO threshold, and the PWM pin is pulled high.
2. Pull the EN pin from low to high to enable the TPS61163. At this moment, the EasyScale detection window
starts.
3. After EasyScale detection delay time (tes_delay, 100 µs), drive EN to low for more than EasyScale detection
time (tes_detect, 260 µs).
The third step must be finished before the EasyScale detection window (tes_win, 1 ms) expires and, once this step
is finished, the EasyScale interface is enabled, and the EasyScale communication can start. See Figure 8.

Figure 8. Easyscale Interface Detection
The TPS61163 supports 9-bit brightness code programming. By the EasyScale interface, a master can program
the 9-bit code D8(MSB) to D0(LSB) to any of 511 steps with a single command. The default code value of D8-D0
is 111111111 when the device is first enabled, and the programmed value is stored in an internal register and set
the dual-channel current according to Equation 2. The code is reset to default value when the deviceis shut down
or disabled.

When the one-wire digital interface at the EN pin is selected, the PWM pin can be connected to either the VIN
pin or a GPIO (refer to Additional Application Circuits). If the PWM pin is connected to the VIN pin, the EN pin
alone can enable and disable the device: pulling the EN pin low for more than 2.5 ms disables the device. If the
PWM pin is connected to a GPIO, both the PWM and EN signals must be high to enable the device, and either
pulling EN pin low for more than 2.5 ms or pulling the PWM pin low for more than 20 ms disables the device.

Device Functional Modes (continued)
8.4.2 PWM Control Interface
The PWM control interface is automatically enabled if the EasyScale interface fails to be enabled during start-up.
In this case, the TPS61163 receives PWM dimming signals on the PWM pin to control the backlight brightness.
When using PWM interface, the EN pin can be connected to VIN pin or a GPIO (refer to Additional Application
Circuits). If the EN pin is connected to the VIN pin, the PWM pin alone is used to enable and disable the device:
pull the PWM pin high or apply PWM signals at the PWM pin to enable the device; pull the PWM pin low for
more than 20 ms to disable the device. If the EN pin is connected to a GPIO, either pull the EN pin low for more
than 2.5 ms or pull the PWM pin low for more than 20 ms to disable the device. The TPS61163 device can start
up only after both EN and PWM signals are applied. See Figure 9.

Figure 9. PWM Control Interface Detection
When the PWM pin is constantly high, the dual channel current is regulated to full-scale according to Equation 1.
The PWM pin allows PWM signals to reduce this regulation current according to the PWM duty cycle; therefore,
it achieves LED brightness dimming. The relationship between the PWM duty cycle and IFBx current is given by
Equation 3.
I FBx = IFB_full ´ Duty
where
•

•
IFBx is the current of each current sink
IFB_full is the full-scale LED current

8.5 Programming
8.5.1 Easyscale Programming
EasyScale is a simple, but flexible, one-pin interface to configure the current of the dual channels. The interface
is based on a master-slave structure, where the master is typically a microcontroller or application processor and
the deviceis the slave. Figure 10 and Table 1 give an overview of the protocol used by TPS61163. A command
consists of 24 bits, including an 8-bit device address byte and a 16-bit data byte. All of the 24 bits must be
transmitted together each time, and the LSB bit must be transmitted first. The device address byte
D7(MSB)~D0(LSB) is fixed to 0x8F. The data byte includes 9 bits D8(MSB)~D0(LSB) for brightness information
and an RFA bit. The RFA bit set to 1 indicates the request for acknowledge condition. The acknowledge
condition is only applied when the protocol is received correctly. The advantage of EasyScale compared with
other one pin interfaces is that its bit detection is in a large extent independent from the bit transmission rate. It
can automatically detect bit rates between 1.7 kBit/sec and up to 160 kBit/sec.

Figure 13. Easyscale — Bit Coding
The 24-bit command must be transmitted with LSB first and MSB last. Figure 11 shows the protocol without
acknowledge request (Bit RFA = 0), Figure 12 with acknowledge request (Bit RFA = 1). Before the command
transmission, a start condition must be applied. For this, the EN pin must be pulled high for at least tstart (2μs)
before the bit transmission starts with the falling edge. If the EN pin is already at high level, no start condition is
needed. The transmission of each command is closed with an end-of-stream (EOS) condition for at least tEOS (2
μs).
The bit detection is based on a logic detection scheme, where the criterion is the relation between tLOW and tHIGH
(refer to Figure 13). It can be simplified to:
Low Bit (Logic 0): tLOW ≥ 2 × tHIGH
High Bit (Logic 1): tHIGH ≥ 2 × tLOW
The bit detection starts with a falling edge on the EN pin and ends with the next falling edge. Depending on the
relation between tHIGH and tLOW, the logic 0 or 1 is detected.
The acknowledge condition is only applied if:
• Acknowledge is requested by setting RFA bit to 1.
• The transmitted device address matches with the device address of the device.
• Total 24 bits are received correctly.
If previous conditions are met, after tvalACK delay from the moment when the last falling edge of the protocol is
detected, an internal ACKN-MOSFET is turned on to pull the EN pin low for the time tACKN, which is 512 μs
maximum, then the acknowledge condition is valid. During the tvalACK delay, the master controller keeps the line
low; after the delay, it must release the line by outputting high impedance and then detect the acknowledge
condition. If it reads back a logic 0, it means the device has received the command correctly. The EN pin can be
used again by the master when the acknowledge condition ends after tACKN time.
Note that the acknowledge condition can only be requested when the master device has an open drain output.
For a push-pull output stage, the use of a series resistor in the EN line to limit the current to 500 μA is
recommended to for such cases as:
• An accidentally requested acknowledge, or
• To protect the internal ACKN-MOSFET.

9.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
9.2.2.1 Inductor Selection
Because the selection of inductor affects the steady-state operation of the power supply, transient behavior, loop
stability, and the boost converter efficiency, the inductor is one of the most important components in switching
power regulator design. There are three specifications most important to the performance of the inductor:
inductor value, DC resistance (DCR), and saturation current. The TPS61163 is designed to work with inductor
values from 4.7 µH to 10 µH to support all applications. A 4.7-µH inductor is typically available in a smaller or
lower profile package, while a 10-µH inductor produces lower inductor ripple. If the boost output current is limited
by the overcurrent protection of the device, using a 10-µH inductor may maximize the output current capability of
controller. A 22-µH inductor can also be used for some applications, such as 6s2p and 7s2p, but may cause
stability issue when more than eight WLED diodes are connected per string. Therefore, TI recommends
customers verify the inductor in their application if it is different from the values in Recommended Operating
Conditions.
Inductor values can have ±20% or even ±30% tolerance with no current bias. When the inductor current
approaches saturation level, its inductance can decrease 20% to 35% from the 0A value depending on how the
inductor vendor defines saturation. When selecting an inductor, make sure its rated current, especially the
saturation current, is larger than its peak current during the operation.
Follow Equation 4 to Equation 6 to calculate the peak current of the inductor. To calculate the current in the
worst case, use the minimum input voltage, maximum output voltage and maximum load current of the
application. In order to leave enough design margin, the minimum switching frequency, the inductor value with
–30% tolerance, and a low power conversion efficiency, such as 80% or lower are recommended for the
calculation.
In a boost regulator, the inductor DC current can be calculated as Equation 4.

IDC = OUT OUT
VIN ´ h
where
•
•
•
•
VOUT = boost output voltage
IOUT = boost output current
VIN = boost input voltage
η = boost power conversion efficiency

The inductor current peak to peak ripple can be calculated as Equation 5.

Therefore, the peak current IP seen by the inductor is calculated with Equation 6.
IP = IDC +

(6)
Select an inductor with saturation current over the calculated peak current. If the calculated peak current is larger
than the switch MOSFET current limit ILIM, use a larger inductor, such as 10 µH, and make sure its peak current
is below ILIM.

SLVSBQ2D – JANUARY 2013 – REVISED MAY 2016
Boost converter efficiency is dependent on the resistance of its current path, the switching losses associated with
the switch MOSFET and power diode and the inductor’s core loss. The TPS61163 has optimized the internal
switch resistance, however, the overall efficiency is affected a lot by the DCR of the inductor, equivalent series
resistance (ESR) at the switching frequency, and the core loss. Core loss is related to the core material and
different inductors have different core loss. For a certain inductor, larger current ripple generates higher
DCR/ESR conduction losses as well as higher core loss. Normally a datasheet of an inductor does not provide
the ESR and core loss information. If needed, consult the inductor vendor for detailed information. Generally, an
inductor with lower DCR/ESR is recommended for TPS61163 application. However, there is a trade-off between
the inductance, DCR/ESR resistance, and footprint of the inductor; furthermore, shielded inductors typically have
higher DCR than unshielded ones. Table 3 lists some recommended inductors for the TPS61163. Verify whether
the recommended inductor can support the target application by using the previous calculations as well as bench
validation.

9.2.2.2 Compensation Capacitor Selection
The compensation capacitor C4 (refer to Additional Application Circuits) connected from the COMP pin to GND,
is used to stabilize the feedback loop of the TPS61163. A 330-nF ceramic capacitor for C4 is suitable for most
applications. A 470-nF capacitor also works for some applications, and it is suggested that customers verify it in
their applications.
9.2.2.3 Output Capacitor Selection
The output capacitor is mainly selected to meet the requirement for the output ripple and loop stability. A 1-µF to
2.2-µF capacitor is recommended for the loop stability consideration. This ripple voltage is related to the
capacitor’s capacitance and its ESR. Due to its low ESR, Vripple_ESR could be neglected for ceramic capacitors.
Assuming a capacitor with zero ESR, the output ripple can be calculated with Equation 7.
(V
- VIN ) ´ IOUT
Vripple = OUT
VOUT ´ FS ´ COUT
where
•
Vripple = peak-to-peak output ripple.
(7)
The additional part of ripple caused by the ESR is calculated using Vripple_ESR = IOUT × RESR and can be ignored
for ceramic capacitors.
Note that capacitor degradation increases the ripple much. Select the capacitor with 50-V rated voltage to reduce
the degradation at the output voltage. If the output ripple is too large, change a capacitor with less degradation
effect or with higher rated voltage could be helpful.
9.2.2.4 Schottky Diode Selection
The TPS61163 demands a low forward voltage, high-speed and low capacitance schottky diode for optimum
efficiency. Ensure that the diode average and peak current rating exceeds the average output current and peak
inductor current. In addition, the reverse breakdown voltage of the diode must exceed the open LED protection
voltage. TI recommends ONSemi MBR0540 and NSR05F40, and Vishay MSS1P4 for the TPS61163.

10 Power Supply Recommendations
The TPS61163 is designed to operate from an input supply range of 2.7 V to 6.5 V. This input supply must be
well regulated and be able to provide the peak current required by the LED configuration and inductor selected
without voltage drop under load transients (start-up or rapid brightness change). If the input supply is located far
from the device additional bulk capacitance may be required in addition to the ceramic bypass capacitors.

11 Layout
11.1 Layout Guidelines
As for all switching power supplies, especially those providing high current and using high switching frequencies,
layout is an important design step. If layout is not carefully done, the regulator could show instability as well as
EMI problems. Therefore, use wide and short traces for high current paths. The input capacitor, C1 in Additional
Application Circuits, must be close to the inductor, as well as to the VIN and GND pins in order to reduce the
input ripple seen by the device. If possible, choose a higher capacitance value for C1. If the ripple seen at the
VIN pin is so large that it affects the boost loop stability or internal circuits operation, TI recommends using R2
and C3 to filter and decouple the noise. In this case, C3 must be placed as close as possible to the VIN and
GND pins.
The SW pin carries high current with fast rising and falling edges. Therefore, the connection between the SW pin
to the inductor and Schottky diode must be kept as short and wide as possible. The trace between Schottky
diode and the output capacitor C2 must also be as short and wide as possible. It is beneficial to have the ground
of the output capacitor C2 close to the GND pin because there is a large ground return current flowing between
them. When laying out signal grounds, TI recommends using short traces separated from power ground traces,
and connected together at a single point close to the GND pin.
