AP5724
WHITE LED STEP-UP CONVERTER
Description
The AP5724 is a step-up DC/DC converter specifically designed to drive white LEDs with a constant current. The device can drive 2 ~ 6 LEDs in series from a Li-Ion cell. Series connection of the LEDs provides identical LED currents resulting in uniform brightness and eliminates the need for ballast resistors. For driving higher number of LEDs, AP5724 also supports a single feedback of parallel connected multiple strings of equal number of LEDs. The AP5724 switches at 1.2MHz that allows the use of tiny external components. A low 0.1V feedback voltage minimizes power loss in the current setting resistor for better efficiency.

WHITE LED STEP-UP CONVERTER Applications Information
Inductor Selection A 10μH~22μH inductor is recommended for most AP5724 applications. For high efficiency the inductor should have low core losses at 1.2MHz and low DCR (copper wire resistance). The inductor saturation current rating should also exceed the peak input current, especially for high load current applications (like 3S8P).
Capacitor Selection The small size of ceramic capacitors are ideal for AP5724 applications. X5R and X7R types are recommended because they retain their capacitance over wider voltage and temperature ranges than other types such as Y5V or Z5U. A 1μF input capacitor and a 1μF output capacitor are sufficient for most AP5724 applications. For high output current applications like 3S8P, larger output capacitor of 2.2uF ~ 4.7uF is recommended to minimize output ripple.
Diode Selection Schottky diodes, with their low forward voltage drop and fast reverse recovery, are the ideal choices for AP5724 applications. The forward voltage drop of a Schottky diode represents the conduction losses in the diode, while the diode capacitance (CT or CD) represents the switching losses. For diode selection, both forward voltage drop and diode capacitance need to be considered. Schottky diodes with higher current ratings usually have lower forward voltage drop and larger diode capacitance, which can cause significant switching losses at the 1.2MHz switching frequency of the AP5724. Schottky diodes with higher current ratings usually have lower forward voltage drop and larger diode capacitance. Larger Schottky diode capacitance can cause significant switching losses at the 1.2MHz switching frequency of the AP5724. A Schottky diode rated at 100mA to 200mA is sufficient for most AP5724 applications.
LED Current Control The LED current is controlled by the feedback resistor (RSET in Figure 1). The feedback reference is 0.1V. The LED current is 0.1V/ RSET. In order to have accurate LED current, precision resistors are preferred (1% is recommended). The formula and table for RSET selection are shown below. RSET = 0.1V/ILED (See Table 1) Table 1.

Open-Circuit Protection In the cases of output open circuit, when the LEDs are disconnected from the circuit or the LEDs fail, the feedback voltage will be zero. The AP5724 will then switch at a high duty cycle resulting in a high output voltage, which may cause the SW and OVP pin voltage to exceed the voltage rating of these pins. The OVP pin monitors the output voltage. If the output voltage reaches the over voltage protection threshold at the OVP pin (Figure 2), the over voltage protection is activated and SW pin stops switching.

Dimming Control There are four different types of dimming control circuits:
1. Using a PWM Signal to EN Pin With the PWM signal applied to the EN pin, the AP5724 is turned on or off by the PWM signal. The LEDs operate at either zero or full current. The average LED current increases proportionally with the duty cycle of the PWM signal. A 0% duty cycle will turn off the AP5724 and corresponds to zero LED current. A 100% duty cycle corresponds to full current. The typical frequency range of the PWM signal is below 2 kHz.

2. Using a DC Voltage For some applications, the preferred method of brightness control is a variable DC voltage to adjust the LED current. The dimming control using a DC voltage is shown in Figure 3. As the DC voltage increases, the voltage drop on R2 increases and the voltage drop on RSET decreases. Thus, the LED current decreases. The selection of R2 and R3 will make the current from the variable DC source much smaller than the LED current and much larger than the FB pin bias current. For VDC range from 0V to 2V, the selection of resistors in Figure 3 gives dimming control of LED current from 0mA to 20mA.

3. Using a Filtered PWM Signal The filtered PWM signal can be considered as an adjustable DC voltage. It can be used to replace the variable DC voltage source in dimming control.
4. Using a Logic Signal For applications that need to adjust the LED current in discrete steps, a logic signal can be used as shown in Figure 4. RSET sets the minimum LED current (when the NMOS is off). RSET sets how much the LED current increases when the NMOS is turned on.
