CAT3636 6-Channel Quad-ModeTM Fractional LED Driver in TQFN3x3 FEATURES High efficiency 1.33x charge pump Quad-mode charge pump: 1x, 1.33x, 1.5x, 2x Drives up to 6 LEDs at 32mA each 1-wire EZDimTM LED current programming Power efficiency up to 92% Low noise input ripple in all modes “Zero” current shutdown mode Soft start and current limiting Short circuit protection Thermal shutdown protection Tiny 3mm x 3mm, 16-lead TQFN package DESCRIPTION The CAT3636 is a high efficiency quad-mode fractional charge pump that can drive up to six LEDs programmable by a one wire digital interface. The inclusion of a 1.33x fractional charge pump mode increases device efficiency by up to 10% over traditional 1.5x charge pumps with no added external capacitors. Low noise input ripple is achieved by operating at a constant switching frequency which allows the use of small external ceramic capacitors. The multi-fractional charge pump supports a wide range of input voltages from 2.5V to 5.5V. The EN/SET logic input functions as a chip enable and a “1-wire” addressable interface for control and current setting of all LEDs. Three groups of two LEDs can be configured with independent LED currents between 0.25mA and 32mA. The device is available in a tiny 16-lead TQFN 3mm x 3mm package with a max height of 0.8mm. Catalyst Semiconductor’s Quad-ModeTM 1.33x charge pump switching architecture is patented.

A small 1μF ceramic bypass capacitor is required between the VIN pin and ground near the device. The operating input voltage range is from 2.5V to 5.5V. Whenever the input supply falls below the under-voltage threshold (2V) all the LED channels will be automatically disabled and the device register are reset to default values. EN/SET is the enable and one wire addressable control logic input for all LED channels. Guaranteed levels of logic high and logic low are set at 1.3V and 0.4V respectively. When EN/SET is initially taken high, the device becomes enabled and all LED currents remain at 0mA. To place the device into zero current mode, the EN/SET pin must be held low for more than 1.5ms. VOUT is the charge pump output that is connected to the LED anodes. A small 1μF ceramic bypass capacitor is required between the VOUT pin and ground near the device. GND is the ground reference for the charge pump. The pin must be connected to the ground plane on the PCB. C1+, C1- are connected to each side of the ceramic bucket capacitor C1. C2+, C2- are connected to each side of the ceramic bucket capacitor C2. LEDxx provide the internal regulated current for each of the LED cathodes. These pins enter highimpedance zero current state whenever the device is placed in shutdown mode. TAB is the exposed pad underneath the package. For best thermal performance, the tab should be soldered to the PCB and connected to the ground plane. © Catalyst Semiconductor, Inc. Characteristics subject to change without notice 7 Doc.

CAT3636 Functional Block Diagram BASIC OPERATION At power-up, the CAT3636 starts operating in 1x mode where the output will be approximately equal to the input supply voltage (less any internal voltage losses). If the output voltage is sufficient to regulate all LED currents, the device remains in 1x operating mode. If the input voltage is insufficient or falls to a level wher e the regulated currents cannot be maintained, the device automatically switches into 1.33x mode (after a fixed delay time of about 400μs). In 1.33x mode, the output voltage is approximately equal to 1.33 times the input supply voltage (less any internal voltage losses). If the input voltage is insufficient again or falls to a level where the regulated currents cannot be maintained, the device will automatically switch to the 1.5x boost mode (after a fixed delay time of about 400μs). In 1.5x mode, the output is approximately equal to 1.5 times the input supply voltage (less any internal voltage losses). If the input voltage fails more or is still insufficient to drive the LEDs, it will automatically switch again into 2x mode where the output is approximately equal to 2 times the input supply voltage (less any internal voltage losses). If the device detects a sufficient input voltage is present to drive all LED currents in 1x mode, it will change automatically back to 1x mode. This only applies for changing back to the 1x mode Doc.

Characteristics subject to change without notice CAT3636 LED Current Setting The current in each of the six LED channels is programmed through the 1-wire EN/SET digital control input. By pulsing this signal according to a specific protocol, a set of internal registers can be addressed and written into allowing to configure each bank of LEDs with the desired current. There are six registers: the first five are 4 bits long and the sixth is 1 bit long. The registers are programmed by first selecting the register address and then programming data into that register. An internal counter records the number of falling edges to identify the address and data. The address is serially programmed adhering to low and high duration time delays. One down pulse corresponds to register 1 being selected. Two down pulses correspond to register 2 being selected and so on up to register 6. TLO and THI must be within 200ns to 100μs. Anything below 200ns may be ignored. Once the final rising edge of the address pointer is programmed, the user must wait 500μs to 1000μs before programming the first data pulse falling edge. If the falling edge of the data is not received within 1000μs, the device will revert back to waiting for an address. Data in a register is reset once it is selected by the address pointer. If a register is selected but no data is programmed, then the register value is reset back to its initial default value with all data bits to 0. Once the final rising edge of the data pulses is programmed, the user must wait 1.5ms before programming another address. If programming fails or is interrupted, the user must wait TRESETDELAY 2ms from the last rising edge before reprogramming can commence. Upon power-up, the device automatically starts looking for an address. The device requires a minimum 10μs delay (TSETUP) to ensure the initialization of the internal logic at power-up. After this time delay, the device registers may be programmed adhering to the timing constraints shown in Figure 1. If no falling edge is detected within 100μs of power-up, then the user must wait 2ms before trying to program the device again. To power-down the device and turn-off all current sources, the EN/SET input should be kept low for a duration TOFF of 1.5ms or more. The driver typically powers-down with a delay of about 1ms. All register data are lost. Figure 3. EN/SET One Wire Addressable Timing Diagram © Catalyst Semiconductor, Inc. Characteristics subject to change without notice 9 Doc. No. MD-5020 Rev.

A low LED current mode exists to allow for very low current operation under 4mA per channel. If IMODE equals 1, the high current range is selected up to 32mA. If IMODE is set to 0, all currents are divided by 8. Each bank of LEDs (A, B or C) can be turned on independently by setting the respective bit ENA, ENB, ENC to 1, as shown in Table 2. For example, to enable all 6 LEDs in low current mode, REG1 is programmned to 0111 binary (9 data pulses). Table 2.

This stops the charge pump returning to 1x mode. One pulse sets it to 1. Two pulses or no pulses set RTLKO to 0. When RTLKO is set to 1, the charge pump cannot automatically return to 1x mode when in one of the charge pump modes. The device can however move from 1x to 1.33x to 1.5x to 2x if the input voltage is not sufficient to drive the programmed LED currents. REG6 also triggers a charge pump reset as soon as it is addressed. This forces the charge pump to start Doc. No. MD-5020 Rev. D 10 © Catalyst Semiconductor, Inc.

If the input voltage has risen or the device has been reprogrammed to other LED values, it is recommended to trigger this reset allowing the charge pump to run in the most efficient mode. The CAT3636 enters a “zero current” shutdown mode if EN/SET is held low for 1.5ms or more. All registers are reset back to zero when the device is placed in shutdown. © Catalyst Semiconductor, Inc.

Characteristics subject to change without notice CAT3636 Unused LED Channels For applications with only four or two LEDs, unused LED banks can be disabled via the enable register internally and left to float. For applications with 5 LEDs or less, unused LEDs can also be disabled by connecting the LED pin directly to VOUT, as shown on Figure 4. If LED pin voltage is within 1V of VOUT, then the channel is switched off and a 200μA test current is placed in the channel to sense when the channel moves below VOUT – 1V. External Components The driver requires two external 1μF ceramic capacitors for decoupling input, output, and for the charge pump. Both capacitors type X5R and X7R are recommended for the LED driver application. In all charge pump modes, the input current ripple is kept very low by design and an input bypass capacitor of 1μF is sufficient. In 1x mode, the device operates in linear mode and does not introduce switching noise back onto the supply. Recommended Layout In charge pump mode, the driver switches internally at a high frequency. It is recommended to minimize trace length to all four capacitors. A ground plane should cover the area under the driver IC as well as the bypass capacitors. Short connection to ground on capacitors CIN and COUT can be implemented with the use of multiple via. A copper area matching the TQFN exposed pad (TAB) must be connected to the ground plane underneath. The use of multiple via improves the package heat dissipation. Figure 4. Five LED Application Protection Mode If an LED is disconnected, the output voltage VOUT automatically limits at about 5.5V. This is to prevent the output pin from exceeding its absolute maximum rating. If the die temperature exceeds +150°C the driver will enter a thermal protection shutdown mode. When the device temperature drops by about 20°C the device will resume normal operation. LED Selection LEDs with forward voltages (VF) ranging from 1.3V to 5.0V may be used with the CAT3636. Selecting LEDs with lower VF is recommended in order to improve the efficiency by keeping the driver in 1x mode longer as the battery voltage decreases. For example, if a white LED with a VF of 3.3V is selected over one with VF of 3.5V, the CAT3636 will stay in 1x mode for lower supply voltage of 0.2V. This helps improve the efficiency and extends battery life. Figure 5. Recommended Layout © Catalyst Semiconductor, Inc. Characteristics subject to change without notice 13 Doc. No. MD-5020 Rev.
