Operation
The RT4532 is a high efficiency solution with 24 WLEDs
in 4 parallels 6 series for backlight applications. The
RT4532 optimizes the feedback regulation voltage to
provide up to 85% high efficiency with as high as 8bits
resolution application.
OCP Protection
The RT4532 features a 1.2A current limitation. Once
detecting current level over current limitation, the RT4532's
LX witching will be forced off to avoid large current damage.
OTP Protection
Linear Brightness Dimming
The RT4532 is built-in a I2C 8-bit resolution brightness
control with maximum 20mA/40mA selection.
Reg0x02 corresponds to full-scale LED current control.
Reg0x04 sets 8bits resolution brightness dimming.
The over-temperature protection function will be latched
at shutdown status when the junction temperature
exceeds 140°C for 2ms. After re-power on sequence, the
converter will automatically resume switching.
OVP Protection
PWM Brightness Dimming
Besides programmable built-in I2C backlight LED current
control, the RT4532 features a built-in PWM dimming
current control by setting Reg0x02 to 1, offering a
linear current dimming by external clock source. In order
to guarantee the PWM dimming resolution, recommending
dimming frequency have to be operated at range of 400Hz
to 20kHz.

DS4532-01 August 2015
The over-voltage protection function monitors the output
voltage via the VOUT pin voltage. The OVP threshold
voltage is 24V/16V by selecting Reg0x02. Once the
LED is open, the output voltage reaches the OVP
threshold, the driver will be shut down.

Application Information
LED Short Protection
LED short protection prevents abnormal connection to
cause IC damage avoiding FB1/FB2 connecting power
supply. And, If unbalanced LEDs series (cause FB1 or
FB2 > 9.6V) is different between channel1 and channel2,
IC will also occur LED short event. As LED short event
occur more than deglitch time 2ms, IC will shut-down latch
until IC is reset by EN pin.
Soft-Start
The RT4532 includes a soft-start function to avoid high
inrush current during start-up. The soft-start function is
achieved by clamping the output voltage of the error
amplifier with another voltage source that is increased
slowly from zero to near VIN during the soft-start period.
threshold, the device is shut down. If the input voltage
rises by under-voltage lockout hysteresis (200mV typical),
the IC restarts.
Linear Brightness Dimming
The chip is built-in an I2C 8-bit resolution brightness control
with maximum 20mA/40mA selection. Reg0x02
corresponds to full-scale LED current control. Reg0x04
sets 8bits resolution brightness dimming control.
ILED =
Code
ILED, Full
255
Where
ILED, Full : the full-scale LED current set by Reg0x02 .
Code : the 8bit brightness code Reg0x04
programmed by I2C interface.
OCP Protection
The RT4532 features a 1A current limitation. The current
flowing through the inductor during a charging period is
detected by a current sensing circuit. If the value exceeds
the current limit, the N-MOSFET will be turned off. The
inductor will then be forced to leave charging stage and
enter discharging stage. Therefore, the inductor current
will not increase to reach current limit.
The over-temperature protection function will be latched
at shutdown status when the junction temperature
exceeds 140°C for 2ms. After re-power on sequence, the
converter will automatically resume switching.
OVP Protection
The chip provides over-voltage protection function to limit
the output voltage in abnormal conditions. The OVP
threshold voltage is 24V/16V by selecting Reg0x02 .
Once the LED is open, the output voltage reaches the
OVP threshold, the driver will be shut down.
Under-Voltage Lockout
An under-voltage lockout circuit prevents the operation of
the device at input voltages below under-voltage threshold
(2.3V maximum). When the input voltage is below the

PWM Brightness Dimming
Besides programmable built-in I2C backlight LED current
control, the RT4532 features a built-in PWM dimming
current control by setting Reg0x02 to 1, offering a
linear current dimming by external clock source. In order
to guarantee the PWM dimming resolution (7 bit at >
15kHz application), recommending dimming frequency
have to be operated at range of 400Hz to 20kHz.
Inductor Selection
The recommended inductor value for dual-channel 6
WLEDs applications is 10μH. When selecting the
inductor, the inductor rated saturation current should be
higher than the peak current at maximum load. Small size
and better efficiency are major concerns for portable
devices. The inductor should have low core loss at 1.1MHz
and low DCR for better efficiency.
Capacitor Selection
10μF input ceramic capacitor and 1μF output ceramic
capacitor are recommended for driving dual-channel 6
WLEDs applications. For better voltage filtering, ceramic
capacitors with low ESR are recommended. X5R and X7R
types are suitable because of their wide voltage and
temperature ranges.

Thermal Considerations
Layout Consideration
For continuous operation, do not exceed absolute
maximum junction temperature. The maximum power
dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of the IC
package, PCB layout, rate of surrounding airflow, and
difference between junction and ambient temperature. The
maximum power dissipation can be calculated by the
following formula :
As for all switching power supplies, the layout is an
important step in the design, especially at high peak
currents and switching frequencies. If the layout is not
carefully done, the regulator might expose noise problems
and duty cycle jitter. Therefore, use wide and short traces
for high current paths. The input capacitor should be placed
as close as possible to the input pin for good input voltage
filtering. The inductor should be placed as close as possible
to the switch pin to minimize the noise coupling into other
circuits. The output capacitor needs to be placed directly
from the VOUT pin to GND rather than across the LEDs.
This reduces the ripple current in the trace to the LEDs.
When doing the PCB layout, the bold traces should be
routed first, as well as placement of the inductor, and input
and output capacitors.
PD(MAX) = (TJ(MAX) − TA) / θJA
where TJ(MAX) is the maximum junction temperature, TA is
the ambient temperature, and θJA is the junction to ambient
thermal resistance.
For recommended operating condition specifications, the
maximum junction temperature is 125°C. The junction to
ambient thermal resistance, θJA, is layout dependent. For
WL-CSP-10B 0.87x2.07 (BSC) package, the thermal
resistance, θJA, is 99.6°C/W on a standard JEDEC 51-7
four-layer thermal test board. The maximum power
dissipation at TA = 25°C can be calculated by the following
formula :
P D(MAX) = (125°C − 25°C) / (99.6°C/W) = 1W for
WL-CSP-10B 0.87x2.07 (BSC) package
The maximum power dissipation depends on the operating
ambient temperature for fixed T J(MAX) and thermal
resistance, θJA. The derating curve in Figure 1 allows the
designer to see the effect of rising ambient temperature
on the maximum power dissipation.
