ground near the device.
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
(2.2 V), all the LED channels are disabled and the
device enters shutdown mode.
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
PWM1, PWM2 are the enable and PWM LED
brightness control logic inputs.. Guaranteed levels of
logic high and logic low are set at 1.3V and 0.4V
respectively. When any of PWM pins is taken high,
the device becomes enabled with maximum LED
current at associated bank. To place the device into
zero current mode, both PWM pins must be held low
for more than 30 ms.
C2+, C2- are connected to each side of the ceramic
bucket capacitor C2
LEDA1 – LEDC2 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.
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

At power-up, PWM1 and PWM2 pins should be logic
LOW. During power-up device performs internal
circuits reset that requires less than 10µs. To start
device either PWM1 or PWM2 pin should be set logic
HIGH 10µs after than input voltage applied. Device
starts operating at 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.
Vd = VIN 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.
If the input voltage is insufficient or falls to a level
where Vd ≤75 mV, and the regulated currents cannot
be maintained, the low dropout PowerLite™ Current
Regulator switches the charge pump into 1.5x mode
(after a fixed delay time of about 800 μs). In 1.5x
mode, the charge pump’ output voltage is
approximately equal to 1.5 times the input supply
voltage (less any internal voltage losses).
The low dropout PowerLite™ Current regulator
(PCR) performs well at input voltages Vin up to 75mV
above LED forward voltage VF significantly increasing
driver’s efficiency. The LDS8865 monitors voltage
drop Vd across PCR at every channel in ON state. If
this voltage falls below 75 mV (typical) at any one
channel, (channel with LED with highest forward

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).
with respect to the average LED current unlike
conventional 1-wire LED current control methods.
The LDS8865’s PWM logic control circuits have been
designed to operate from 100 Hz to 100 kHz with
duty cycles higher than (0.02*F)% and lower than
(100 – 0.02*F)%, where F is the PWM control
frequency in kHz. The brightness dynamic dimming
range at 200 Hz is 25,000 : 1. PW M control
frequencies lower than 100 Hz are not recommended
(especially with short duty cycles) because LED
flicker may become visible.
Operation of PWM-based LED Current Control
The maximum current value in each of the
LDS8865’s three LED banks is factory preset; to set
each ILED below this value, a PWM (a duty cycle
based) control signal can be applied at the
PWM1/PWM2 pins.
When PWM current control is enabled, the LED
current is modulated from zero to 100% over a single
PWM period. For example, when PWM1/PWM2 is
logic high, the LED current is set equal to the
maximum factory preset value. When PWM1/PWM2
is logic low, the LED current is zero. The average
LED current level is then determined by the PWM
duty cycle that may be adjusted as described above.
Using a PWM control technique guarantees stable
WLED color temperature over a wide range of LED
currents. The LED color temperature set at the
factory preset maximum LED current does not vary

LDS8865
When LED current control is enabled at the
PWM1/PWM2 inputs, the LDS8865’s maximum input
current is determined by the factory preset maximum
LED current multiplied by number of LED used, the
charge pump operating mode (1x, 1.5x, or 2x), and
divided by charge-pump driver’s efficiency. For
example, if six LEDs are used and the charge pump
is operating in 2x mode, the maximum pulse current
at VIN would then be 400 mA (= 30 mA/LED x 6LEDs
x 2/0.9), assuming that charge pump’s efficiency
alone at 2x mode is 90% and maximum factory
preset current is 30 mA per LED.
Figure 4. Application circuit with 5 LEDs
1. LED short to V OUT protection
When PWM LED current control is first enabled (at
cold start, for example), the LDS8865’s VIN , VOUT , and
VPCR monitors cause the LDS8865’s charge pump to
cycle through all operating modes (if necessary) so
that VOUT is high enough to maintain regulated LED
current. To prevent nuisance switching of the charge
pump during this initial start-up sequence, a 0.8ms
transition filter is applied at each charge-pump mode.
Depending on VIN and the VF of the LEDs chosen, the
maximum cold-start delay to regulated LED current
operation can be up to 1.6 ms. (See Timing Diagram
Figure 3)
If LED pin is shorted to V OUT , LED burned out
becomes as short circuit, or LED pin voltage is within
from V OUT to (VOUT - 1.5V) range, LDS8865
recognizes this condition as “LED Short” and disables
this channel. If LED pin voltage is less than (Vout –
1.5V), LDS8865 restores LED current at this
particular channel to programmed value.
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.
Once the LDS8865 reaches steady-state operation,
its charge pump remains in operation even when the
LED current is turned off (tOFF). As shown in Figure 3,
VOUT increases slightly by an amount proportional to
the voltage drop generated by charge pump’s R OUT
and the total LED current load. The LDS8865’s
efficiency and LED current regulation are not affected
because the LEDs are off during this time.
3. V OUT Short Circuit Protection
If VOUT is shorted to ground before LDS8865 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.
If the PWM1/PWM2 pins are held high or low longer
than 30ms (Time to Shutdown), the LDS8865 turns
LEDs off. If PWM1/PWM2 pins are low, shutdown
mode is enabled and the supply current drops to 1 µA
or less. If PWM1/PWM2 pins are logic high, the
LDS8865 charge pump remains active with an overall
quiescent current ~ 1 mA.
4. Over-Temperature Protection
If the die temperature exceeds +150°C, the driver will
enter shutdown mode. The LDS8865 requires restart
after die temperature falls below 130°C.
5. Input Voltage Under-Voltage Lockout
If V IN falls below 2.2 V (typical value), LDS8865
enters shutdown mode Device restarts when input
voltage rises above 2.3 V and PWM signal is applied.
Unused LED Channels
For applications with only four or two LEDs, unused
LED banks can be disabled via the appropriate PWM
pin connected to the ground.
6. Low V IN or High LED VF Voltage Detection
If, in 2x mode, V IN 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,
LDS8865
starts
subsequently
changing modes (2x – 1x –1.5x – 2x -…) in an
attempt to compensate insufficient voltage. As a
result, average current at all other channels that are
ON may fall below regulated level.
For applications requiring 1, 3, or 5 channels, the
unused LED pins should be tied to Vout (see Figure
4). If LED pin voltage is within 1V of VOUT, then the
channel is switched off and a 250μA test current is
placed in the channel to sense when the channel
moves below VOUT – 1.5 V.

capacitors CIN and COUT can be implemented with
use of multiple via. A copper area matching
TQFN exposed pad (TAB) must be connected to
ground plane underneath. The use of multiple
improves the package heat dissipation.
LEDs with forward voltages (VF ) ranging from 1.6 V to
3.6 V may be used. Charge pumps operate in highest
efficiency when V F voltage is close to VIN voltage
multiplied by switching mode, i.e. VIN x 1, VIN x 1.5,
and so on. If the power source is a Li-ion battery,
LEDs with VF = 2.7V - 3.3V are recommended to
achieve highest efficiency performance and extended
operation on a single battery charge.

External Components
The driver requires two external 1 µF ceramic capacitors (CIN and C OUT) and two 0.22 µF ceramic capacitors (C1 and C2) X5R or X7R type. Capacitors C1
and C2 may be increased up to 1 µF to improve
charge pump efficiency by 3%. In all charge pump
modes, the input current ripple is very low, 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
