Description
The FAN5608 is an integrated Schottky diode LED driver, which generates regulated output currents from a battery input voltage of 2.7V to 5V. An internal MOS switch and the external inductor deliver the necessary voltage to the load. The proprietary internal compensation loop continuously monitors the lowest LED cathode voltage of both channels and adjusts the VOUT voltage to the minimum value. The minimum VOUT is determined by the highest LED forward voltage of the selected channel. This adaptive nature allows the FAN5608 architecture to deliver high efficiency. Up to twelve LEDs can be connected in series as long as the summed forward voltage does not exceed the maximum specification of 24V. It is not required to match an equal number of LEDs serially within each channel; FAN5608 delivers the highest efficiency and best current regulation in the balanced configuration. FAN5608 has two internal two-bit D/A converters that provide independent programmability to each output channel. In analog programming, "B" pins must be GND (logic “0”); a resistor must be connected between pin “A” and a fixed supply voltage. The output current can be programmed to any desired value within the specified range. The FAN5608DHMPX is available in a 4x4mm 12-lead MLP package. A single external resistor sets the current and turns the device ON and OFF.

Notes: 1. Using Mil Std. 883E, method 3015.7 (Human Body Model) and EIA/JESD22C101-A (Charge Device Model). 2. Avoid positive polarity ESD stress at the cathode of the internal Schottky diode (Schottky diode cathode (VIN – 0.7V), as required for HIGH logic level. The logic level HIGH (VH) and logic level LOW (VL) of the PWM signal should be: (VIN – 0.7V) < VH < VIN and 0 < VL < 0.6V. EQ 4 EQ 3
Analog Static Control
In Analog Mode, B1 and B2 inputs should be connected to GND or “0” logic. A1 and A2 control the LED current through an external resistor (R), as shown in Figure 4, or an external voltage (VEXT) input. The ILED value can be calculated using the formula or the graph below:
The frequency of the PWM signal should be within the 50Hz to 1kHz range, by default, or 30kHz at any input if the other input is kept HIGH.
PWM Control in Analog Dynamic Mode
EQ 2 where 1.2V < VEXT ≤ R(kΩ) x 0.020(mA) + 1.2V and the current multiplication ratio is according to the Electrical Specifications table. The R value should be in the (10kΩ to 50kΩ) range. In Analog Dynamic Mode, the logic level HIGH (VH) and logic level LOW (VL) of the PWM signal should be: VH = VEXT and 0 < VL < 0.6V. EQ 5
25 R=10k 20 ILED (mA) 15 10 5 0 1.0 1.25 1.5 1.75 VEXT (V) 2 2.25 R=50k
The frequency of the PWM signal should be in the range from 50Hz to 1kHz. The VEXT amplitude sets the maximum LED current, while the duty cycle of the PWM signal sets the average current between 0mA and ILED maximum.
Open-Circuit Protection
The FAN5608 has an internal over-voltage protection mechanism that prevents damage to the IC in a no-load condition. If CH1 and/or CH2 LEDs are enabled in an open-circuit condition, FAN5608 automatically sets the duty cycle to 25%. The output voltage can reach as high as 50V at maximum VIN (5.5V). Depending on the capacitor’s rating, the output capacitor may be at risk in this condition.
Shutdown Mode
Each channel can be independently disabled by applying LOW logic level voltage to the appropriate A and B inputs. When both channels are disabled, the FAN5608 enters shutdown mode and the supply current is reduced to less than 1μA.

Design and Component Selection Guidelines
Inductor Selection
The inductor is one of the main components required by the boost converter to store energy. The amount of energy stored in the inductor and transferred to the load is controlled by the regulator, using pulse-frequency modulation (PFM) and pulse-skipping techniques. In most cases, the FAN5608 operates in discontinuous conduction mode, resulting in higher inductor current ripple. To ensure proper operation of the current regulator over the entire range of conditions, select the inductor based

on the maximum output power (POUT) and the minimum input voltage (VIN): L≤ (VIN )2 × T POUT EQ 6
where units of L, VIN, and POUT are in μH, Volt, and Watt, respectively and T = 0.4μs is a factor depending upon the FAN5608 internal architecture. The above relationship is applicable up to POUT = 0.8W and L ≥ 2.2μH . At lower inductor values, the efficiency

decreases due to the resistive loss in the switching power FET. Using L = 3.3μΗ and increasing the load to 12 LED x 20mA (POUT = 800mW) requires VIN > 3.5V to maintain a constant 20mA current through LEDs. An inductance L = 4.7μH ensures proper operation for 2 x 4 white LEDs with regulated 20mA current if VIN > 2.7V. For any lighter load or higher VIN, the inductance may be increased to improve the system efficiency. Application examples are given in Figures 16 - 25. The peak current in the inductor depends on the maximum battery voltage and the inductance, according to the equation:
I pk = 1.4 μS × VIN max L
The current feeding the string of LEDs is the sum of the currents programmed for each channel in digital or analog mode. Using all four inputs in digital mode, the LED current can be programmed within the 0 to 40mA range, according to the following table:
EQ 7
which gives the maximum rated current for the inductor. For L =4.7μH and VIN = 4.2V, the inductor saturation current should be at least 1A.
Capacitors Selection
Low ESR capacitors should be used to minimize the input and output ripple voltage. Use of a CIN > 4.7μF/6.3V and COUT = 4.7μF/25V type X5R/X7R multilayer ceramic capacitor is recommended. A larger value input capacitor placed as close as possible to FAN5608 may be needed to reduce the input voltage ripple in noise-sensitive applications. An additional LC filter between the battery and the FAN5608 input can help reduce the battery ripple to the level required by a particular application.
Driving Two Independent Strings of LEDs
For best efficiency, the two strings of LEDs driven by the FAN5608 should have close forward voltages. This recommendation is met when the same number and type of LEDs are serially connected in each channel. If the application requires the two channels be significantly unbalanced, an external resistor may be added in series with the shorter string of LEDs to reduce the voltage difference between the two channels and enhance performance. The maximum differential LEDs connected in series to CH1 and CH2 is not recommended to exceed three LEDs.
Driving Higher Current LEDs
To increase the LED current range to 50mA, the CH1 and CH2 outputs may be connected, as shown below:

Specific Layout Recommendations
The FAN5608 is available in a dual Die Attach Pad (DAP) package. One DAP is connected to GND and another to VOUT, making it unnecessary to provide any external connection to the DAPs. Since the internal power dissipation is low, the 4x4mm MLP package is capable of dissipating maximum power without requiring an extra copper field on the printed circuit board. When viewing the bottom of the dual-DAP device package, two electrically isolated exposed metal islands are visible. The two IND pins should be connected externally. Depending on the application noise sensitivity, an external filter may be required between the battery and the IC input.
