Compact 2-3-4-Ch LED Drivers with Phase Shift Control
The ISL97682, ISL97683, ISL97684 are Intersil’s highly
integrated 2-3-4-channel LED drivers that are suitable for
medium size TFT-LCD backlights. These parts can drive
multiple channels of LEDs from inputs as low as 4V to outputs
of up to 45V. They can also operate from inputs as low as 3V to
outputs of up to 26.5V in bootstrap configuration (see Figure
26 for 3V operation).
Features
The ISL97682, ISL97683, ISL97684 feature optional channels
phase shift control. This feature is used to minimize the input,
output ripple characteristics and load transient, which help
eliminate or reduce the video and audio noise interference
from the backlight driver operation.
• Input Voltage 3.0V (see Figure 26)~24V with Max VOUT of 26.5V
The ISL97682, ISL97683, ISL97684 offer 8-bit PWM dimming
for systems that need frequency tuning flexibility. With the
unique adaptive boost switching architecture, the ISL97682,
ISL97683, ISL97684 also offer Direct PWM dimming with
output, which follows input and achieves linearity as low as
0.009% at 200Hz or 1.35% at 30kHz.
The drivers incorporate dynamic headroom control that monitors
the highest LED forward voltage string and uses its feedback
signal for the minimum output regulation. The ISL97682,
ISL97683, ISL97684 incorporate extensive fault protection
functions including string open and short circuit detections, OVP,
and OTP. The switching frequency can be selected at either
600kHz or 1.0MHz in PFM or PWM mode. These parts are
available in the thin and compact 16 Ld 3mmx3mm TQFN
package and operate in ambient temperature from -40°C to
+85°C.

NOTES:
4. JA is measured in free air with the component mounted on a high-effective thermal conductivity test board with “direct attach” features. See TB379.
5. For JC, the “case temp” location is the center of the exposed metal pad on the package underside.
6. PSIJT is the PSI junction-to-top thermal characterization parameter. If the package top temperature can be measured with this rating then the die
junction temperature can be estimated more accurately than the JC and JC thermal resistance ratings.

Theory of Operation
Current Matching and Current Accuracy
PWM Boost Converter
Each channel of the LED current is regulated by the current
source circuit, as shown in Figure 19.
The current mode PWM boost converter produces the minimal
voltage needed to enable the LED stack with the highest forward
voltage drop to run at the programmed current. The ISL97682,
ISL97683, and ISL97684 employ current mode control boost
architecture that has a fast current sense loop and a slow voltage
feedback loop. Such architecture achieves a fast transient
response that is essential for the notebook backlight application
where the power can be a series of drained batteries or instantly
change to an AC/DC adapter without rendering a noticeable
visual nuisance. The number of LEDs that can be driven by the
ISL97682, ISL97683, ISL97684 depends on the type of LED
chosen in the application. The ISL97682, ISL97683, ISL97684
are capable of boosting up to 45V and typically driving 13 LEDs
in series for each of the 4 channels, enabling a total of 52 pieces
of the 3.2V/20mA type of LEDs.
The LED peak current is set by translating the RSET current to the
output with a scaling factor of 401.8/RSET. The source terminals
of the current source MOSFETs are designed to operate within a
range at about 500mV to optimize power loss versus accuracy
requirements. The sources of errors of the channel-to-channel
current matching come from the op amps offset, internal layout,
reference, and current source resistors. These parameters are
optimized for current matching and absolute current accuracy.
However, the absolute accuracy is additionally determined by the
external RSET. A 1% tolerance resistor is recommended.
OVP
The Overvoltage Protection (OVP) pin has a function of setting the
overvoltage trip level as well as limiting the VOUT regulation
range.
The ISL97682, ISL97683, ISL97684 OVP threshold is set by
RUPPER and RLOWER shown by Equation 1:
VOUT_OVP = 1.22V * (RUPPER + RLOWER)/RLOWER

VOUT can only regulate between 42% and 100% of the VOUT_OVP
such that:

Allowable VOUT = 42% to 100% of VOUT_OVP
Dynamic Headroom Control
For example, if 10 LEDs are used with the worst case being VOUT
of 35V. If R1 and R2 are chosen such that the OVP level is set at
40V, then the VOUT is allowed to operate between 16.8V and 40V.
If the requirement is changed to 4 LEDs of 14V VOUT application,
then the OVP level must be reduced and users should follow the
VOUT = (42% ~100%) OVP level requirement. Otherwise, the
headroom control will be disturbed such that the channel voltage
can be much higher than expected and sometimes can prevent
the driver from operating properly.
The ISL97682, ISL97683, ISL97684 feature a proprietary
Dynamic Headroom Control circuit that detects the highest
forward voltage string or the lowest voltage from any of the CH
pins digitally. When the lowest CH voltage is lower than the short
circuit threshold (VSC), such voltage will be used as the feedback
signal for the boost regulator. The boost makes the output to the
correct level such that the lowest CH is at the target headroom
voltage. Since all LED stacks are connected to the same output
voltage, the other CH pins will have a higher voltage, but the
regulated current source circuit on each channel will ensure that
each channel has the same current. The output voltage will
regulate cycle-by-cycle and it is always referenced to the highest
forward voltage string in the architecture.
The ratio of the OVP capacitor should be the inverse of the OVP
resistor. For example:
if RUPPER/RLOWER = 33/1, then CUPPER/CLOWER = 1/33 with
CUPPER = 100pF and CUPPER = 3.3nF.
Enable
An EN signal is required to enable the internal regulator for normal
operation. If there is no signal for longer than 28ms, the device will
enter shutdown.
Power Sequence
There is no specific power sequence requirement for the
ISL97682, ISL97683, ISL97684. The EN signal can be tied to VIN
but not the VDC that will prevent the device from powering up.

Dimming Controls
The ISL97682, ISL97683, ISL97684 allow two ways of controlling
the LED current, and therefore, the brightness. They are:
1. DC current adjustment
2. PWM chopping of the LED current defined in Step 1.
There are various ways to achieve DC or PWM current control,
which will be described in the following.

Maximum DC Current Setting
The initial brightness should be set by choosing an appropriate
value for RSET. This should be chosen to fix the maximum
possible LED current as shown in Equation 2 for ISL97682 and
Equation 3 for ISL97683 and ISL97684:

Once RSET is fixed, the LED DC current can be adjusted.
For example, in the 4-channel ISL97684, if the maximum required
LED current (ILED(max)) is 20mA, rearranging Equation 3 yields

PWM Control
The ISL97682, ISL97683, ISL97684 have high speed 8-bit
digitizers that decode the incoming PWM signal and convert it into
2- 3- or 4- channels of 8-bit PWM current with a phase shift
function that will be described later. During the PWM On period,
the LED peak current is defined by the RSET resistor value. The
average LED current of each channel is controlled by ILEDmax and
the PWM duty cycle in percent shown by Equation 5:
I LED ave = I LEDmax PWM

Components Selections
According to the inductor Voltage-Second Balance principle, the
change of inductor current during the switching regulator
On-time is equal to the change of inductor current during the
switching regulator Off-time. Since the voltage across an inductor
is as shown in Equation 10:
V L = L I L t
(EQ. 14)
(EQ. 10)
(EQ. 11)
Applications
where D is the switching duty cycle defined by the turn-on time
over the switching periods. VD is a Schottky diode forward
voltage that can be neglected for approximation.
Rearranging the terms without accounting for VD gives the boost
ratio and duty cycle as Equations 12 and 13:
VO VI = 1 1 – D
(EQ. 12)
D = VO – VI VO
(EQ. 13)
Input Capacitor
Switching regulators require input capacitors to deliver peak
charging current and to reduce the impedance of the input
supply. This reduces interaction between the regulator and input
supply, thereby improving system stability. The high switching
frequency of the loop causes almost all ripple current to flow in
the input capacitor, which must be rated accordingly.
A capacitor with low internal series resistance should be chosen
to minimize heating effects and improve system efficiency, such
as X5R or X7R ceramic capacitors, which offer small size and a
lower value of temperature and voltage coefficient compared to
other ceramic capacitors.
It is recommended that an input capacitor of at least 10µF be
used. Ensure the voltage rating of the input capacitor is suitable
to handle the full supply range.
Inductor
The selection of the inductor should be based on its maximum
and saturation current (ISAT) characteristics, power dissipation
(DCR), EMI susceptibility (shielded vs unshielded), and size.
Inductor type and value influence many key parameters,
including ripple current, current limit, efficiency, transient
performance and stability.
The inductor’s maximum current capability must be adequate
enough to handle the peak current at the worst case condition.
Additionally if an inductor core is chosen with too low a current
rating, saturation in the core will cause the effective inductor
value to fall, leading to an increase in peak to average current
level, poor efficiency and overheating in the core. The series
resistance, DCR, within the inductor causes conduction loss and
heat dissipation. A shielded inductor is usually more suitable for
EMI susceptible applications, such as LED backlighting.

IL peak = V O I O 85% V I + 1 2 V I V O – V I L V O f SW
The choice of 85% is just an average term for the efficiency
approximation. The first term is the average current, which is
inversely proportional to the input voltage. The second term is
the inductor current change, which is inversely proportional to L
and FSW as a result, for a given switching.
and IL @ On = IL @ Off, therefore:
V I – 0 L D tS = VO – V D – VI L 1 – D tS
The peak current can be derived from the voltage across the
inductor during the Off-period, expressed in Equation 14:
Low Voltage Operations
The ISL97682, ISL97683, ISL97684 VIN pin can be separately
biased from the LEDs power input to allow low voltage operation.
For systems that have only single supply, VOUT can be tied to the
driver VIN pin to allow initial start-up; see Figure 26. The circuit
works as follows; when the input voltage is available and the
device is not enabled, the VOUT follows VIN with a Schottky diode
voltage drop. The VOUT bootstrapped to VIN pin allows an initial
start-up once the part is enabled. Once the driver starts up with
VOUT regulating to the target, the VIN pin voltage also increases.
As long as the VOUT does not exceed 26.5V and the extra power
loss on VIN is acceptable, this configuration can be used for input
voltage as low as 3.0V. For systems where a single input supply
of 4V to 5.5V is available, the VIN pin can be shorted to VDC,
allowing a slight gain in efficiency due to bypassing the internal
LDO.
For systems that have dual supplies, the VIN pin can be biased
from 5V to 12V. The input voltage can be as low as 2.7V without
the limitations previously mentioned; see Figure 27.
