Product Description
The CM9142 is an adaptive fractional switched capacitor (charge pump) regulator optimized for driving two groups, 4 and 2, of white LEDs Each group features individual ON/OFF controls and individually set current. Each LED’s driver current is matched to within 2% for uniform intensity. It supports an input voltage range of 2.9V to 6V, with undervoltage lockout. A failure detection circuit prevents the loss of power when one or more LEDs fail (short or open). Internal over-temperature and over-current management provide short circuit protection. The CM9142 regulates up to 300mA of output current to drive WLEDs, allowing up to 50mA per LED channel. The maximum LED current for each group is programmed with external resistors. Master plus two independent enable inputs allows for Analog and PWM brightness control for each display. Either display can also be used for a camera flash. In full shutdown mode, the CM9142 draws only 10μA. The CM9142 automatically selects the most efficient charge pump ratio based on the operating voltage requirement of the white LEDs. The proprietary design architecture maintains high efficiency (> 80%), and at low VIN provides longer battery life. With a high VIN, or when the adapter is powered, it provides cool reliable operation. The CM9142 is available in a compact 16 lead TQFN package. It can operate over the industrial temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

Application Information
The CM9142 is a switched capacitor, charge pump voltage converter ideally suited for driving white LEDs to backlight LCD color displays in portable devices. The CM9142 charge pump is the perfect driver for portable applications such as cellular phones, digital still cameras, PDAs and any application where small space, compact overall size, low system cost and minimal EMI are critical.

The adaptive conversion ratio selects the most efficient operating mode. When VIN is higher than the needed VOUT (VLED+VCURRENT_SINK), the 1x mode is set. When the input voltage is below the LED forward voltage and a voltage boost is needed, the 1.5x mode is automatically selected. The 1.5x mode uses a frac-

tional charge pump to convert the nominal Li-ion battery voltage (3.6V) by 1.5 times and regulates the LED current to the low dropout current sources. The current regulated sources maintain constant LED drive in the presence of supply voltage fluctuations. All LEDs are driven with the same current, even when they have slightly different forward voltages. The individual current sources sense the current through each LED and match this current to less than 2% for uniform brightness across the color LCD display. The CM9142 drives up to four WLEDS in group one and two WLEDs in the second group. The maximum current programmed by RSET determines the maximum intensity of each group’s display; the displays can be further dimmed by PWM control applied to its ISET1 or ISET 2 pin.

CM9142 Operation
When a voltage that exceeds the undervoltage lockout threshold (UVLO) is applied to the VIN pin, the CM9142 initiates a softstart cycle, typically lasting 100μS. Softstart limits the inrush current while the output capacitors are charged. Following softstart, the CM9142 next determines the best conversion ratio (1x or 1.5x). The 1.5x mode employs a fractional charge pump. The charge pump uses two phases from the internal oscillator to drive switches that are connected to the bucket capacitors, C1 and C2, as shown in Figure 1. In the first switch position, the bucket capacitors are connected in series and each are charged from Vin to a voltage of VIN/2. The next phase changes the switch positions so that C1 and C2 are in parallel, and places them on top of VIN. The resulting voltage across COUT is then; VIN+1/2VIN = 1.5 x VIN.

Figure 1. Switch Operation
The CM9142 has over-temperature and over-current protection circuitry to limit device stress and failure during short circuit conditions. An overcurrent condition will limit the output current (approximately 400~600mA) and will cause the output voltage to drop, until automatically resetting after removal of the excessive current. Over-temperature protection disables the IC when the junction is about 135°C, and automatically turns on the IC when the junction temperature drops by approximately 15°C.
Efficiency
A conventional charge pump with a fixed gain of 2x will usually develop more voltage than is needed to drive paralleled white LEDs from Li-Ion sources. This excessive gain develops a higher internal voltage, reducing

The CM9142 charge pump automatically switches between the two conversion gains, 1x and 1.5x, allowing high efficiency levels over a wide operating input voltage range. The 1x mode allows the voltage to pass directly through to the output when sufficient input voltage is available. As the battery discharges to the point where any one current source no longer has sufficient voltage headroom to maintain a constant current regulation, the 1.5x charge pump is enabled. At nominal loads, the switching losses and quiescent current are negligible. If these losses are ignored for simplicity, the efficiency, η, for an ideal 1.5x charge pump can be expressed as the output power divided by the input power:

As can be seen, the CM9142, with 1x and 1.5x modes, has better efficiency in this application than a fixed 2x charge pump. At low battery voltages, the higher efficiency of the CM9142 charge pump’s 1,5x gain reduces the battery drain. At higher input voltages, typically seen when the system is running off an AC adapter, the CM9142, operating the 1x mode, has better efficiency than single mode 1.5x or 2x charge pumps, lowering the power dissipation for cooler circuit operation and long life. While the charge pump efficiency is easily determined, the system efficiency is more difficult due to the current source outputs, which complicate measuring the output power. The forward voltage of the white LEDs will vary, and the constant current sources will adjust to maintain the current. When comparing systems, it is best to compare the input current for a specified LED drive current. The 1x mode has better efficiency than the 1.5x mode. Selecting LEDs with low forward voltage (VLED) increases the time spent in the 1x mode as the battery discharges, extending the operating time.
For ( VLED + VCURRENT _ SINK ) = 3.9 V,
Many charge pumps are fixed 2x designs. The ideal 2x charge pump efficiency can be similarly expressed;
P OUT 3.9V ------------- ≈ ---------------------P IN 2.0 × V IN
In 1x mode, when the input voltage is above the output voltage, the ideal efficiency is simply VOUT/VIN. The typical conversion efficiency plots for these modes, with some losses, are shown in Figure 2.
Failed LED Detection
If a LED is shorted, the CM9142 will continue to operate and drive the remaining LEDs at the programmed current. If a LED opens, the other LEDs will still be regulated at the programmed current.

Application Information (cont’d)
LED Current Set (ISET)
An external resistor programs a reference current, setting the maximum driver current. This resistor must be tied to a good analog ground. If it is pulled to ground through a switch, for example, from the host controller output, the voltage drop across that switch should not exceed 10mV. The voltage at the ISET1 and ISET2 pins is provided by a .66V bandgap reference. The LED current is approximately 1000x the current set by the RSET resistor, according to the following formula:

Forward Current (mA)
Logic Low is the voltage on device driving this pin to ground. If the resistor is tied to ground directly, Logic low = 0. For 20mA LED current, RSET≅33 k. When this pin is driven high or open, the device will enter a sleep mode with VOUT = 4.5V and, with no load, IQUIESCENT≅ 500μA.
Figure 3. Typical Luminous Intensity vs. LED Current
Analog Control of Display Intensity
Typically, portable devices control the backlight display intensity in response to ambient light conditions, or lower the intensity after a short standby interval to converse battery charge. The luminous intensity of white LEDs is proportional to the amount of forward current through them, but the color wavelength emitted is also dependent upon the forward current. In applications where color shift is not critical, brightness can be controlled by adjusting the diode’s current. A typical white LED Intensity vs. forward current curve is shown in Figure 3.
The ISET pins of the CM9142 can be used to connect an analog DC signal for analog dimming of the white LEDs, as shown in Figure 4 This requires an additional resistor, R, and a DC source voltage, Vc.

PWM Control of Display Intensity
Typically, portable devices control the backlight display intensity in response to ambient light conditions, or lower the intensity after a short standby interval to converse battery charge. The CM9142 allows the output to lower the LED brightness by applying a pulsing (PWM) signal to EN, as shown in Figure 7 for group 2. The waveforms are shown in Figure 8. The white in white LEDs is typically bichromatic, produced by a blue or UV LED that excites yellow phosphors. The two colors combine and the human eye sees these them as white light. The forward current of the LED influences the chromaticity, with higher LED current increasing the blue content of the color. Using a PWM signal allows the LEDs to be dimmed without substantially shifting their color balance due to chromaticity shifts related to changing white LED forward current. The PWM signal causes the LEDs to
Fax: 408.263.7846 www.cmd.com
Figure 5. LED Current Control Curve
The circuit in Figure 6 is an example of logic dimming control, which changes the LED forward current in discrete steps. The NMOS source is an open drain (or open collector if bipolar) device, either the output of a host controller, or a discrete device. Open drain, or open collector devices sink current in their active, low voltage state (logic 0), and are high impedance in their high voltage, non-active state (logic 1). The open drain must not be pulled high with an external resistor, but instead connected only to the current setting resistors. The parallel combination of R and RSET determine the full intensity current. When the drain goes high, RSET determines the lower intensity current.

CM9142 Design Examples
Two Display Cell Phone
Typically, the mobile phone LCD displays (both STN and mini-TFT) require three to four white LEDs for backlighting, but as few as two of the newer highbrightness LEDs can be used. Light guides are used to distribute the light uniformly behind the LCD. In this application, four white LEDs are used for the larger main display (inside the clamshell) and two for the subdisplay. A typical application for the CM9142 is a dual display clamshell phone, with an internal main display and an external sub-display typically used for caller ID and time of day, backlighting only when there is an incoming call. When the clamshell is opened, the sub-display backlight goes off and the main display backlight goes on. See Figure 10. Either display’s intensity can be lowered by a PWM signal applied to RSET resistors for the host controller, as determine by ambient light conditions.

Figure 7. PWM applied to Display 2
The recommended frequency is between 100 Hz and 200 Hz, with a duty cycle greater than 20%. If a frequency of less then 100 Hz is used, flicker might be seen in the LEDs. The frequency should also be greater than the refresh rate of the TFT display. Higher frequencies will cause a loss of brightness control linearity. In addition, higher frequency can cause chromaticity shifts because the fixed rise and fall times of the PWM signal will shift the forward current. The PWM signal will cause the average LED current to be reduced. The average current is determined by the PWM duty cycle, which can vary from 0% to 100%. Decreased Duty Cycle will linearly lower LED brightness, 0% Duty Cycle will turn off the display LEDs.

Each group can have a different current setting, and individual PWM signals applied. One or both groups can have their brightness controlled by a PWM signal. In the example in Figure 11, both are controlled with one PWM signal.

If a full regulated flash current is needed, both display outputs can be used to drive flash modules, as shown in Figure 14. In this case, EN controls the flash, enabling both outputs.

For a given output current, increasing the output capacitance reduces output ripple in the 1.5x mode. Increasing the output capacitor will also increase startup current and time. In most LED applications, high frequency output ripple is not a concern because it will not cause intensity variations that are visible to the human eye.

Layout Guide
The charge pump is rapidly charging and discharging the external capacitors, so external traces to the capacitors should be made wide and short to minimize inductance and high frequency ringing. The four capacitors should be located as close as practical to the charge pump, particularly C1 and C2, which have the highest dv/dt. Use a solid ground plane, and connect the ground side of CIN, COUT and the package GND as close as practical.

Capacitor Selection
For proper performance, use surface-mount, low ESR ceramic capacitors for all four positions. X7R or X5R ceramic dielectric provides good stability over the operating temperature and voltage range, The capacitance and ESR of the external bucket capacitors will directly affect the output impedance and efficiency of the converter. A ceramic 1μF capacitor is recommended. Reflected input ripple depends on the impedance of the VIN source, such as the PCB traces and the Li-ion battery, which have elevated impedance at higher frequencies. The input capacitor located near the converter input reduces this source impedance and ripple. Any ESR from the capacitor will result in steps and spikes in the ripple waveform, and possibly produce EMI. Much of the ripple voltage is due to moving current charge in and out of the capacitor and the capacitor’s impedance at the charge pump frequency. If ripple voltage or current on the battery bus is an application issue, add a small input inductor between the battery and the capacitor, or just increase the capacitor.
