RT4832A
Sub PMIC with Dual-Output Boost Converter with I2C
Interface for Flash LED and Backlight LED, Dual-Output LCD
Bias and DSV
General Description
The RT4832A is an integrated total power solution for
Flash LED Driver, Backlight WLED Driver, and DSV
Driver. Flash LED Driver provides up to 2-CH 1.5A
applications. Back Light WLED Driver supports up to
36V output for 10 WLEDs applications. And it provides
1024 steps LED current with logarithmic/linear curve.
DSV is implemented by one single inductor boost and
inverting charge pump, which provide customers
minimum EVB area compared to dual inductors. The
negative output power (CPOUT) comes from boost
output (LCMOUT). It also provides DSV positive
voltage (POS), which power noise is reduce by passing
though LDO. Their ranges can be programmed from
±4V to ±6V per 50mV step respectively. Flash Boost
Converter operates at 2MHz/4MHz frequency. The
4MHZ frequency solution allows tinny and low-profile
components. Torch Mode Current can be set from
Features
25mA to 375mA per 25mA step. And Strobe Mode
Current range is from 100mA to 1.5A per 100mA step.
DSV drives TFT-LCD panels up to 10” (from SFF to
MFF like tablets). These two output rails are usually
connected to Source Driver IC. Wide input voltage
range from 2.5V to 5.5V optimizes the single-cell
battery applications (Li-Ion, Ni-Li, Li-Polymer) and
which symmetrical output current is up to 80mA.
The RT4832A provides complete protection such as
VIN under voltage lockout, Vin monitor protection, over
current protection, over voltage protection, LED short
protection, VOUT short protection and over
temperature protection.
The RT4832A is available in WL-CSP-30B 2.24x2.64
(BSC) package.

DSV
The RT4832A provides programmable LCMOUT, POS,
CPOUT value. Table 1 contains the detail for DSV
operation setting. The LCMOUT should be selected to
provide enough headroom for good ripple and load
transient performance. The headroom voltage between
LCMOUT and the maximum value of VPOS and
LCMOUT and |VCPOUT| should not be higher than
200mV to avoid the larger ripple at VCPOUT.
The OCP level of POS is 250mA and CPOUT is 150mA

Discharge and Short to GND Function
The RT4832A provides internal switch resister to
discharge voltage of VPOS and CPOUT during the
channel power off. Set the 0x0C[4] = 1 for VPOS
discharge enable and 0x0C [1]=1 for CPOUT discharge
enable. When the voltage discharge to GND, set the
0x0C[5] = 1 and 0x0C[2] = 1 will keep the output
connect to GND.
Power Saving Mode
The RT4832A provides the power saving mode to
bypass the input voltage to VPOS. Enable the 0x0C[7]
= 1 to control the high side switch of boost converter
and the LDO fully turn on to save the quiescent current
and switching current. The POS is equal to Vin and
CPOUT is equal to –Vin when power saving mode.
Delay Time Control of POS & CPOUT
The RT4832A provides the delay time control between
POS and CPOUT power on and off. The bits of the
0x0D[7:6] is used to set the delay time. Table 3 and

Backlight LED
The RT4832A provides brightness controllable
backlight LED for maximum 2P10S application. The
LED current be set via register and external PWM pin.
Each channel can be control by enable bits (LED1 in
register 0x0A [4] and LED2 in register 0x0A [3]). The
ramp time from one brightness current to another
current can be adjusted from 0ms to 8000ms in the
register 0x03[6:3]. There are two different ways to map

the brightness code (or PWM duty cycle) to the LED
current: linear and exponential mapping.
The RT4832A LED serial number depends on the
minimum voltage of the battery and the forward
voltage(VF) of the LED. If the minimum voltage is 2.7V
and the VF of the backlight LED is 3.2V, the maximum
number of each string is 8.

Brightness Control
ILED = 0.0122mA*Brightness Code
a. PWM Brightness Dimming
In exponential mapped mode the LED current follows
the relationship:
Besides programmable built-in I2C backlight LED
current control, the RT4832A features a built-in PWM
dimming current control by setting register 0x09[6]=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.
2
b. I C Brightness Dimming
The RT4832A is built-in an I2C 10-bit or 11-bit
resolution brightness control with maximum 25mA per
string.
When LED brightness is controlled from the I2C
brightness registers (register 0x09[6]=0) , the 11-bit
brightness data is default to controls the LED current in
LED1 and LED2.
The I2C brightness dimming is the concatenation of the
two brightness registers (registers 0x04[2:0] and
0x05[7:0]). The LED current only changes when the
MSBs are written, meaning that to do a full 11-bit
current change via I2C, first the 3 MSBs are written and
then the 8 LSBs are written. It can be selected as either
linear or exponential. (register 0x02[4]).
In linear mapped mode the LED current follows the
ILED = 0.0183mA*(1.0035Brightness Code )
The 11-bit exponential mapping is small enough such
that the transition from one code to the next in terms of
LED brightness is not distinguishable to the eye.
c. LED Brightness Current and PWM
The LED brightness current is controlled with the
register and the PWM Duty Cycle. LED current
mapping can be selected as either linear or exponential,
shows as the Figure 4. The LED current is
approximated by the equation :
With linear mapping the 10 bit code to current is
approximates by the equation :
ILED = 0.0244mA*Brightness Code*PWM Duty
With linear mapping the 11 bit code to current is
approximates by the equation :
ILED = 0.0122mA*Brightness Code*PWM Duty
With exponential mapping the 10 bit code to current is
approximates by the equation :
ILED = 0.0183mA*(1.0071Brightness Code*PWM Duty )
With exponential mapping the 11 bit code to current is
approximates by the equation :
ILED = 0.0183mA*(1.0035Brightness Code*PWM Duty )

Ramp Rate
There are 16 programmable ramp rates available in the
RT4832A. These ramp rates are programmable as a
time. Therefore, the ramp time from one current
set-point to the next, depends on the register 0x03[6:3].
Over-Voltage Protection (Open LED, Open Circuit)
The RT4832A provides an internal over voltage
protection to limit its output voltage. The OVP function
prevents the RT4832A from damaging while open LED
or open circuit condition occurs. Once the open circuit
condition is removed, and the RT4832A will return to
normal operation.
Over-Current Protection
The RT4832A features a 1.2A OCP. The driver
provides cycle-by-cycle current limit function to control
the current on power switch. The boost switch turns off
when the inductor current reaches this current
threshold and it remains off until the beginning of the
next switching cycle. This protects the RT4832A and
external component under overload conditions.
Flash LED
The RT4832A FLED provides a current regulated
output to drive high current white LEDs for camera
flash applications. The output current provides up to
375mA for torch and 1.5A for strobe per channel white

LEDs for camera flash applications. It adopts two
channels to provide accurately regulated current flow
through two separate white LEDs.
The RT4832A FLED can be set in Flash or Torch mode
by the register and the STRB pin. Figure 5 shows the
RT4832A FLED operation and Table 6 contains the
FLED operation control table.
Flash Mode
In Flash Mode, FLED provides 15 different current
levels from 100mA to 1500mA in step of 100mA. The
flash currents are adjusted via the register 0x06[3:0] for
flash brightness. RT4832A provides 32 steps timeout
from 32ms to 1024ms in step of 32ms for flash mode
only. The Flash mode can be set via the register
0x0A[1] = 1 and 0x0A[2] = 1.
Timeout
To avoid the thermal increase from flash current,
RT4832A provides 32 steps timeout from 32ms to
1024ms in step of 32ms for flash mode only. The
timeout can be set via the register 0x07[4:0]. Once a
flash event is completed, the Flash Timeout flag in
register 0x0B bit [1] is set. This is a status only flag so
the Flash Enable bit is not cleared. If a Flash event is
activated via the STROBE pin and STROBE transitions
low after the end of the programmed flash timeout, the
Flash event is terminated at the programmed Flash

VIN Monitor
In Flash mode, to avoid the flash current to let VIN drop
to UVLO, RT4832A provides VIN monitor function for
the battery voltage detecting. If the battery voltage less
than the VIN monitor value, FLED will be into Torch
mode and output the torch current. This function can be
enable via set register 0x09[0] = 1 and 0x08[2:0] is the

the next switching period. If the overcurrent condition
persists, the device operates continuously in current
limit. This prevents damage to the RT4832A and
excessive current draw from the battery during output
short-circuit conditions. When Flash occurs the current

Thermal Considerations
The junction temperature should never exceed the
absolute maximum junction temperature TJ(MAX), listed
under Absolute Maximum Ratings, to avoid permanent
damage to the device. The maximum allowable power
dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of the IC
package, the PCB layout, the rate of surrounding
airflow, and the difference between the junction and
ambient temperatures. The maximum power
dissipation can be calculated using the following
formula :
PD(MAX) = (TJ(MAX) - TA) / JA
where TJ(MAX) is the maximum junction temperature,
TA is the ambient temperature, and JA is the
junction-to-ambient thermal resistance.
For continuous operation, the maximum operating
junction temperature indicated under Recommended
Operating Conditions is 125°C. The junction-to-ambient
thermal resistance, JA, is highly package dependent.
For a WL-CSP-30B 2.24x2.64 (BSC) package, the
thermal resistance, JA, is 31.7°C/W on a standard
JEDEC 51-7 high effective-thermal-conductivity
four-layer test board. The maximum power dissipation
at TA = 25°C can be calculated as below :

Layout Considerations
For high frequency switching power supplies, the PCB
layout is important to get good regulation, high
efficiency and stability. The following descriptions are
the guidelines for better PCB layout.
For good regulation, place the power components
as close to chip as possible. The traces should be
wide
and
short
enough
especially for the
high-current loop.
Minimize the size of the LX node and route on the
top layer only.
Place the capacitor CIN as close to VIN pin as
possible.
PD(MAX) = (125°C - 25°C) / (31.7°C/W) = 3.15W for a
WL-CSP-30B 2.24x2.64 (BSC) package.
Four-Layer PCB
3.6
Place the CPOS, CCPOUT capacitor as close to
the output pins as possible. Also place the charge
pump flying capacitor close to the RT4832A.
Figure 6 allows the designer to see the effect of rising
ambient temperature on the maximum power
dissipation.
Place the capacitor CFLED as close to FLEDOUT
pin as possible. Connect the Flash LED cathode
directly to the FLEDGND pin of the RT4832A.
Route the LED return with a dedicated path and
keep the LED1 and LED2 path short and close to
RT4832A for the good LED current performance.
