The device can drive two, three or four LEDs in series from a Li-ion cell. Series connection of the LEDs provides identical LED currents resulting in uniform brightness and eliminating the need for ballast resistors. The SM8237 switches at 1.2 MHz, allowing the use of tiny external components. The output capacitor can be as small as 0.22 μ F, saving space and cost versus alternative solutions. A low 95mV feedback voltage minimizes power loss in the current setting resistor for better efficiency.

Operation can be best understood by referring to the block diagram in figure 1. At the start of each oscillator cycle, the SR latch is set, which turns on the power switch Q1. A voltage proportional to the switch current is added to a stabilizing ramp and the resulting sum is fed into the positive terminal pf the PWM comparator A2. When this voltage exceeds the level at the negative input of A2, the SR latch is reset turning off the power switch. The level at the negative input of A2 is set by the error amplifier A1, and is simply an amplified version of the difference between the feedback voltage and the reference voltage of 95mV. In this manner, the error amplifier sets the correct peak current level to keep the output in regulation. If the error amplifier's output increases, more current is delivered to the output; if it decreases, less current is delivered. Minimum output current The SM8237 can regulate three series LEDs connected at low output currents, down to approximately 4mA from a 4.2V supply, without pulse skipping, using the same external components as specified for 15mA operation. As current is further reduced, the device will begin skipping pulses. This will result in some low frequency ripple, although the LED current remains regulated on an average basis down to zero. APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Inductor selection A 22u H inductor is recommended for most SM8237 applications. Although small size and high efficiency are major concerns, the inductor should have low core losses at 1.2MHz and low DCR (copper wire resistance). Some inductors in this category with small size are listed in Table 1. Capacitor selection The small size of ceramic capacitors makes them ideal for SM8237 applications. X5R and X7R types are recommended because they retain their capacitance over wider voltage and temperature ranges than other types such as Y5V or Z5U. A 1μ F input capacitor and a 0.22 μ F output capacitor are sufficient for most of SM8237 applicaiotns. Diode selection Schottky diodes, with their low forward voltage drop and fast reverse recovery, are the ideal choices for SM8237 applications. The forward voltage drop of a Schottky diode represents the conduction losses in the diode, while the diode capacitance (C T o r C D ) represents the switching losses. For diode selection, both forward voltage drop and diode capacitance need to be considered. Schottky diodes with higher current ratings usually have lower forward voltage drop and larger diode capacitance, which can cause significant switching losses at the 1.2MHz switching frequency of the SM8237. A Schottky diode rated at 100mA to 200mA is sufficient for most SM8237 applications.

The feedback reference is 95mV. The LED current is 95 mV/R1. In order to have accurate LED current, precision resistors are preferred (1% is recommended). The formula and table for R1 selection are shown below. (1) R1 = 95 mV / ILED Table 1. R1 resistor value selection ILED (mA) 5 10 12 15 20 R1 (Ω) 19.1 9.53 7.87 6.34 4.75 SM8237 SM8237 Figure 2. LED driver with open-circuit protection Setting the output voltage for DC to DC Converter Set the output voltage by selecting the resistive voltage divider ratio. Using 51 KΩ for the High-side resistor R1 of the voltage divider. Determine the Low-side resistor R2 according to the following formula: R2 = R1 · VFB Vout - VFB Where Vout is the output voltage for R1= 51 KΩ and VFB = 0.095 V, then R2 (KΩ) = 4.845 / Vout -0.095 Please see the typical application on page 1. Open-circuit protection In the cases of output circuit, when the LEDs are disconnected from the circuit or the LEDs fail, the feedback voltage will be zero. The SM8237 will then switch at a high duty cycle resulting in a high output voltage, which may cause the SW pin voltage to exceed its maximum 36V rating. A zener diode can be used at the output to limit the voltage on the SW pin (figure 2). The zener voltage should be larger than the maximum forward voltage of the LED string. The current rating zener should be larger than 0.1mA. Dimming control There are four different types of dimming control circuits: 1. Using a PWM signal to SHDN pin With the PWM signal applied to the SHDN pin, the SM8237 is turned on or off by the PWM signal. The LEDs operate at either zero or full current. The average LED current increases proportionally with the duty cycle of the PWM signal. A 0% duty cycle will turn off the SM8237 and corresponds to zero full LED current. A 100% duty cycle corresponds to full current. The typical frequency range of the PWM signal is 1kHz to 10kHz. The magnitude of the PWM signal should be higher than the minimum SHDN voltage high. Page 9 V.1.3 Aug 28,2007 SAMHOP Microelectronics Corp. 1.2MHz STEP-UP CONVERTER APPLICATIONS INFORMATION 2. Using a DC voltage For some applications. The preferred method of brightness control is a variable DC voltage to adjust the LED current. The dimming control using a DC voltage is shown in figure 5. As the DC voltage increases, the voltage drop on R2 increases and the voltage drop on R1 decreases. Thus, the LED current decreases. The selection of R2 and R3 will make the current from the variable DC source much smaller than the LED current and much larger than the FB pin bias curent. For VDC range from 0V to 2V, the selection of resistors in figure 3 gives dimming control of LED current from 0mA to 15mA. 3. Using a filtered PWM signal The filtered PWM signal can be considered as an adjustable DC voltage. It can be used to replace the variable DC voltage source in dimming control. The circuit is shown in figure 6. 4. Using a logic signal For applications that need to adjust the LED current in discrete steps, a logic signal can be used as shown in figure 5. R1 sets the minimum LED current (when the NMOS is off). R INC sets how much the LED current increases when the NMOS is turned on. The selection of R1 and RINC follows formula (1) and Table 1. Start-up and inrush current To achieve minimum start-up delay, no internal soft-start circuit is included in SM8237. When first turned on without an external soft-start circuit, inrush current is about 200mA . If soft-start is desired, the recommended circuit and the waveforms are shown in figure 6. If both soft-start and dimming are used, a 10kHz PWM signal on SHDN is not recommended. Use a lower frequency or implement dimming through the FB pin as shown in figure 3,4 or5 .
