SM8121AH

SM8121A White LED Driver IC OVERVIEW The SM8121A is a high efficiency step-up DC-DC converter. Due to high voltage CMOS process realizing 25V output supply as maximum value, 2 to 6 lights of white LED connected in series can be lighted. By connecting in series, current variation among LED is eliminated. Current value sent to white LED can be set by external resistors. In addition, brightness can also be adjusted by control to FB pin or CE pin.

The booster control employs Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) which controls the pulse duty cycle (75% max.) at constant frequency (1.0MHz typ.). The LED current is set by a current-setting resistor R1 connected between pins FB (with stable voltage of 0.5V typ.) and VSS. When the switching transistor SW-Tr is ON, energy is stored in the inductor L. When SW-Tr is rapidly switched OFF, the energy stored in the inductor generates a voltage across the terminals of the inductor. The induced voltage, after being added to the input voltage, turns ON the Schottky barrier diode SBD and the stored energy is transferred to the output capacitor. This sequence of events continues repeatedly, boosting the output voltage. The SM8121A features a built-in soft-start function. The soft-start time is approximately 500µs from after the chip enable input CE rising edge. During this interval, the maximum duty is restricted to 50%. Selecting the Current-setting Resistor (R1) The SM8121A control stabilizes the voltage on pin FB (0.5V typ.). Hence, the current-setting resistor R1 connected between FB and VSS sets the LED current ILED, where the resistance R1 is given by the following equation. R1 = 0.5 / ILED FB VFB=0.5V ILED=0.5/R1 R1=0.5/ILED NIPPON PRECISION CIRCUITS INC.—7 SM8121A Selecting the Inductor (L) The recommended inductance for use with the SM8121A is 10µH. The inductor DC resistance affects the power efficiency, therefore a low DC resistance inductor is recommended. Note also that the peak inductor current Ipeak should not exceed the inductor maximum current rating. In pulsed current mode control, the peak inductor current Ipeak is given by the following equation. Ipeak = (VIN × TON) / L For example, if the input voltage VIN is 3.6V, the inductance L is 10µH, and the SW-Tr ON time T ON is 1MHz × 75% = 0.75µs, then the peak inductor current I peak is (3.6 × 0.75 × 10-6) / (10 × 10-6) = 0.27A = 270mA. Selecting the Capacitors (CIN, COUT) The recommended capacitances for use with the SM8121A are 4.7µF ceramic input capacitor C IN and 1.0µF ceramic output capacitor COUT. The capacitor ESR ratings affect the ripple voltage, therefore capacitors with low ESR rating are recommended. The input capacitor should be mounted close to the SM8121A IC. Note that the capacitor voltage ratings should be selected to provide sufficient margin for the applied input and output voltages. For example, if a lithium-ion battery (2.5 to 4.5V) is connected to the input and 3 white LEDs connected in series at the output draw 20mA, then the maximum input voltage is 4.5V and the maximum output voltage is (4.0V × 3 LEDs) + 0.5V = 12.5V. Therefore, the input capacitor should have a voltage rating of 6V, and the output capacitor should have a voltage rating of 16V. Selecting the Rectifier Schottky Barrier Diode (SBD) The rectifier schottky barrier diode forward-direction voltage drop affects the power efficiency, therefore a Schottky barrier diode with low forward-direction voltage drop is recommended. Note that the diode should be selected to provide sufficient margin for the rated current and reverse-direction withstand voltage. Board Layout Notes The following precautions should be followed for stable device operation. I I I I The inductor L and Schottky barrier diode SBD should be connected close to the pin SW using thick, short circuit wiring. The input capacitor CIN should be mounted close to the IC. The IC supply voltage VDD wiring and inductor supply wiring should be isolated, reducing any common impedances. The ground wiring should be connected at a single point, reducing any common impedances.

Consequently, the output voltage continues to be boosted and the SW pin voltage may exceed the maximum rating of 27V. A zener diode can be added so that it acts as the output load when the LED is open-circuit, preventing the SW voltage from rising. The zener diode must be selected so that the zener does not breakdown during normal operation. The zener voltage VZD range is given by the following relationship, where N is the number of LEDs connected in series, VF MAX is the maximum LED forward-bias voltage drop, VOUT MAX is the SW pin maximum output voltage, VFB is the FB pin voltage, and VSBD is the Schottky-barrier diode forward-bias voltage drop. (VF MAX × N) ≤ VZD ≤ (VOUT MAX − VFB − VSBD) When the load is applied using a connector (SM8121A and LEDs on separate boards), the zener diode should be mounted on the same board as the SM8121A device so that the SW boost prevention function can operate when the load is disconnected. Zener Diode (ZD) Only Connection When the load is removed (LEDs open circuit), the output voltage is determined by the zener voltage, and the output current is determined by the output current-setting resistance. Consequently, the output current when the load is removed is not limited, and thus the input current cannot be controlled.

Alternatively, the brightness can be controlled by a PWM signal by adding a low-pass filter comprising resistor R4 and capacitor C1. The PWM signal frequency range is determined by the low-pass filter coefficients. For example, the recommended values for resistor R4 (50kΩ) and capacitor C1 (0.1µF) provide a PWM signal frequency range of 1kHz to 1MHz.

NIPPON PRECISION CIRCUITS INC.—11 SM8121A Brightness Adjustment using CE Pin The LED average current can be adjusted by controlling the duty of a PWM signal input on the CE pin. When CE goes from LOW to HIGH, the soft start function operates (with 500µs constant soft start time) and, therefore, the LED average current ratio for a given PWM signal duty falls with increasing PWM signal frequency. Taking this into consideration, the recommended PWM control signal has a frequency range of 100 to 400Hz with duty cycle range of 10 to 90%. 20.0 SBD 100Hz COUT 1.0µF 15.0 Average LED current [mA] 400Hz L 10µH SW VSS SM8121 VDD LED 10.0 1000Hz 5.0 1400Hz VIN 3.6V CIN 4.7µF FB CE PWM signal R1 25Ω 0.0 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 PWM signal duty [%] Brightness adjustment circuit using CE pin PWM signal duty vs. LED average current When adjusting the brightness using the CE pin, a ripple voltage synchronized to the PWM signal is generated across the output capacitor COUT. The amplitude of the ripple voltage is determined by the number of LEDs and their forward-bias voltage drop characteristics. If a ceramic capacitor is used for the output capacitor COUT, an audible noise may be generated due to the ceramic capacitor’s piezoelectric effect. The audible noise level depends on the ceramic capacitor (capacitance, bias dependency, withstand voltage etc.), LEDs (number, forward-bias voltage drop etc.), and mounting board (thickness, mounting conditions etc.), and thus should be verified under actual conditions. Alternatively, a tantalum capacitor or film capacitor with low piezoelectric effect can be used as the output capacitor COUT to minimize the noise level, or the brightness can be adjusted using the FB pin as described earlier. The audible noise generated when using the CE pin is not an inherent phenomena of the SM8121A device, but of the brightness adjustment method employed. 11.0V 8.1V COUT 20mA 3.5V 3.5V 3.5V 0.5V COUT 0mA 2.7V 2.7V 2.7V 0V Output voltage with LEDs ON Output voltage with LEDs OFF CE input signal and output ripple voltage NIPPON PRECISION CIRCUITS INC.—12 SM8121A Current Switching using External Transistors If only a few brightness steps are required, the LED current can be adjusted by switching the LED current setting resistance using external transistors (Tr).
