Description
The PAM2701 is a 4-channel charge pump white LED driver, capable of driving up to 4 LEDs in parallel. The device operates in either 1x mode or 1.5x fractional mode, and it can switch from 1x mode to 1.5x mode automatically when the input voltage decreased. Its internal 4 current sink regulators ensure both the LED current matching and the brightness uniformity. The LED current can be programmed by an external resistor, R SET, connected between the RSET pin and ground. LED current of up to 30mA are supported by the input supply voltage over a range of 2.7V to 5.5V, making the device optimized for Li-Ion battery applications. The PAM2701 has a fixed switching frequency of 1MHz, allowing the use of very small value ceramic capacitors. The enable input pin allows the device to be set in shutdown mode, and the current consumption is reduced to less than 1μA. LED dimming can be done by several methods including using a DC voltage to set the RSET pin current, adding a switched resistor in parallel with R SET, or applying a PWM signal to CTRx pin or EN pin.

4-Channel Regulated Charge Pump White LED Driver Application Information
Detailed Description
As shown in the block diagram on page 2, the main components within the PAM2701 include a fractional charge pump, mode selection circuit, output selection logic, LED current setting detection circuit, and 4 current sense circuits. The fractional charge pump multiplies the input voltage a multiple of 1X and 1.5X times the input voltage. The charge pump switches at a fixed 1MHz when the mode is 1.5X. The charge pump does not switch during 1X mode, saving power and improving efficiency. The mode selection circuit automatically selects the mode as 1X or 1.5X based on circuit conditions such as LED voltage, input voltage and load current. 1X is the more efficient mode than 1.5X mode. Table 1 on page 2 shows the output selection logic control over the LED outputs for on and off functions with 8 different output states. The current set and detection circuit uses an external resistor and a 1.20V reference to program the LED current. 4 current regulating circuits sink matched currents from the LEDs. LEDs with matched forward voltage will produce the best possible matched currents. For best matching performance it is recommended that the Vf between LEDs be under 250mV. The unused LED channels can be turned off by CTR0, CTR1 and CTR2, and connecting the respective LED pins to VOUT pin, in which case, the corresponding LED driver sink current is only about 20 μ A. The most basic means of setting the LED current is connecting a resistor from R SET to GND, as shown in the application circuit on Page 1. The resistor R SET establishes the reference current needed for a constant LED current. Values of R SET for a fixed LED current are given in Table 2, “Typical R SET Resistance vs. LED Current”.

Method 2: LED Current Setting with a DC Voltage to RSET Pin Method 2 is for setting the LED current to control brightness. An example circuit is shown in Figure 1, employing a 14.7k resistor and an analog input DC voltage, V SET, which varies from 1.2V to 0V to control LED current from 1mA to 30mA. Table 3 shows the resulting output. If necessary, the analog V SET voltage can be sourced from a voltage higher than 1.20V, but the source must be divided down so that the V SET mode will not exceed 1.20V. For lower current and higher resolution applications , a larger resistor may be used instead. PWM applications are also possible with this circuit by application of RC filtering (Consult with PAM for detail application support).
Methods for Setting LED Current
There are 4 methods for setting and adjusting the LED current outlined here. The methods are: 1) R SET only 2) Analog Reference V SET 3) PWM Input at CTR0 4) PWM Input at EN Method 1: LED Current Setting with an External Resistor R SET

Method 3: LED Current Setting with a PWM Signal to CTRx Pin In circuit in Figure 2 four LEDs are turned on and off by a PWM signal on the CTR0. A resistor R SET is used to set the on state current and the average LED current is then proportional to the percentage of on-time when the CTR0 pin is logic low. Average LED current is approximately equal to: I AVG = (t ON*I LED_ON)/ (t ON + t OFF) It is recommended that PWM frequency is between 100Hz and 1kHz. Due to start up delay and ramp up time, frequency >1kHz will result in error in the average value of I LED. Frequency 1kHz will result in error in the average value of I LED. Frequency
