PIN FUNCTION
V IN is the supply pin for the charge pump. 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
(1.8V), all the LED channels are disabled and the
device enters shutdown mode.
LEDA and LEDB provide the internal regulated
current source for each of the LED cathodes. These
pins enter high-impedance zero current state
whenever the device is in shutdown mode.
PAD is the exposed pad underneath the package.
For best thermal performance, the pad should be
soldered to the PCB and connected to the ground
plane
V OUT 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.
PWM1, PWM2 are the enable and PWM LED
brightness control logic inputs. Guaranteed levels of
logic high and logic low are set at 1.3 V and 0.4 V
respectively. When any of PWM pins is taken high,
the device becomes enabled with maximum LED
current at associated LED. To place the LDS8621
into zero current mode, both PWM pins must be held
low for more than 30 ms.
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

BLOCK DIAGRAM

BASIC OPERATION
At power-up, PWM1 and PWM2 pins should be logic
LOW. During power-up device performs internal
circuit reset that requires less than 10 µs. To start
device, either PWM1 or PWM2 pin should be set
logic HIGH. The LDS8621 starts operating in 1x
mode, at which the output is 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
where Vd ≤50 mV, and the regulated currents cannot
be maintained, the low dropout PowerLite™ Current
Regulator switches the charge pump into 1.33x mode
(after a fixed delay time of about 800 μs). In 1.33x
mode, the charge pump’ output voltage is
approximately equal to 1.33 times the input supply
voltage (less any internal voltage losses).
This sequence repeats at every mode until driver
enters the 2x mode.
The low dropout PowerLite™ Current regulator
(PCR) performs well at input voltages up to 50 mV
above LED forward voltage significantly increasing
driver’s efficiency. The LDS8621 monitors voltage
drop Vd across PCR at every channel in ON state. If
this voltage falls below 50 mV (typical) at any one
channel, (channel with LED with highest forward
voltage), the Mode Control Block changes charge
pump mode to the next multiplication ratio.
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. The
difference between the input voltage when exiting 1x
mode and returning to 1x mode is called the 1x mode
transition hysteresis (about 600 mV).
LED Current Setting
Vd = V IN x M – V F – Rcp x Iout, where Rcp is a
Charge Pump Output Resistance at given mode, Iout
is sum of all LED currents, and M is a charge pump’
multiplication ratio.

The maximum current value in each of the LED is
factory preset. Each LED has independendet current
setting that allows use one of the LEDs for flash,
while other for a torch mode. If both LEDs should be
used in flash mode, or both cannels are connected in

5. Input Voltage Under-Voltage Lockout
parallel to provide maximum current through one LED
in flash mode, the lower average current value in
torch mode may be achieved using PWM. PWM
signal may be applied to one of the PWM pins, while
other channel is off, or to both PWM pins. The
average LED current is proportional PWM duty cycle
and number of channels that are in ON state. For
instance, if both channels are connected in parallel to
provide 196 mA through one LED in flash mode,
turning one channel of in torch mode redjuces current
to 96 mA, while applying PWM signal with 50% duty
cycle to this channel reduces average LED current to
48 mA. LDS8621 allows modulation frequiencies in
the range from 100 Hz to 100000 kHz with duty cycle
from 100% to 1%. Lower than 100 Hz modulation
frequiencies is not recommended especialy at short
duty cycles because LED flicker may be visible.
If VIN falls below 2.2 V (typical value), LDS8621
enters shutdown mode. Device requires restart when
input voltage rises above 2.3 V.
6. Low VIN or High LED V F Voltage Detection
If, in 2x mode, VIN is too low to maintain regulated
LED current for given LED VF, or LED becomes an
open circuit, or if any LED at active channels is
disconnected,
LDS8621
starts
subsequently
changing modes (2x – 1x – 1.33x -1.5x – 2x -…) in
an attempt to compensate insufficient voltage. As a
result, average current at all other channels that are
ON may be below regulated level.
LED Selection
LEDs with forward voltages (VF ) ranging from 1.6V to
4.5V may be used. Charge pumps operate in the
highest efficiency mode when V F voltage is close to
Vin voltage multiplied by switching mode, i.e. Vin x 1,
Vin x 1.33 and so on. If the voltage source is a Li-ion
battery, we recommend selecting LED with VF = 2.7 –
3.6 V to extend the battery life and achieve highest
efficiency.
The LDS8621 has follow protection modes:
1. LED short to V OUT protection
If LED pin is shorted to V OUT, LED burned out
becomes as short circuit, or LED pin voltage is within
(VOUT - 1.5V) range, LDS8621 recognizes this
condition as “LED Short” and disables this channel
with 750 µA control current. If LED pin voltage is less
than (Vout – 1.5V), LDS8621 restores LED current at
this particular channel to programmed value.
External Components
The LDS8621 requires two external 1µF ceramic
capacitors (X5R or X7R type) for decoupling input,
output, and two 0.22 µF capacitors the same type for
the charge pump. In all charge pump modes, the
input current ripple is very low, and an input bypass
capacitor of 1µF is sufficient.
2. V OUT Over-Voltage Protection
The charge pump’ output voltage V OUT automatically
limits at about 6.2 V maximum. This is to prevent the
output pin from exceeding its absolute maximum
rating.
In 1x mode, the device operates in linear mode and
does not introduce switching noise back onto the
supply.
3. V OUT Short Circuit Protection
If VOUT is shorted to ground before LDS8621 is
enabled, input current may increase up to 200 – 300
mA within 20 µs after enable and is limited to 35 – 40
mA after that.
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 (PAD) must be connected to the
ground plane underneath. The use of multiple via
improves the package heat dissipation.
4. Over-Temperature Protection
If the die temperature exceeds +150°C, the driver will
enter shutdown mode. The LDS8621 requires restart
after die temperature falls below 130°C.
