SC623AEVB

SC623A LED Light Management Unit POWER MANAGEMENT Features Input supply voltage range — 3.0V to 5.5V Charge pump modes — 1x, 1.5x and 2x Four programmable current sinks with 32 steps from 0.5mA to 25mA Flash LED — 400mA max in flash mode, 250mA max continuous for spotlight Charge pump frequency — 250kHz I2C compatible interface — up to 400kHz Backlight current accuracy ±1.5% typical Backlight current matching ±0.5% typical Programmable fade-in/fade-out for main backlight External flash control pin to sync with camera Optional 1s flash time out Automatic sleep mode (LEDs off ) — IQ = 100μA Low shutdown current — 0.1μA (typical) Ultra-thin package — 3mm x 3mm x 0.6mm Fully WEEE and RoHS compliant Charge Pump, 4 LEDs, 400mA Flash LED, and I2C Interface Description The SC623A is a high efficiency charge pump LED driver using Semtech’s proprietary mAhXLifeTM technology. Performance is optimized for use in single-cell Li-ion battery applications. The charge pump provides backlight current in conjunction with four matched current sinks. It also can supply continuous or bursted current to a flash LED using the dedicated flash driver current sink. The load and supply conditions determine whether the charge pump operates in 1x, 1.5x, or 2x mode. An optional fading feature that gradually adjusts the backlight current is provided to simplify control software. A flash-timeout feature disables the flash if active for longer than 1 second. The SC623A uses an I2C compatible serial interface. The interface controls all functions of the device, including backlight and flash currents. The flash/spotlight output is triggered via either the I2C interface or a dedicated pin. In sleep mode, the device reduces quiescent current to 100μA while continuing to monitor the serial interface. Total current reduces to 0.1μA in shutdown.

These capacitors should be equal in value, with a minimum capacitance of 2.2μF to support the charge pump current requirements. The device also requires a 2.2μF capacitor on the VIN pin and a 4.7μF capacitor on the VOUT pin to minimize noise and support the output drive requirements. Capacitors with X7R or X5R ceramic dielectric are strongly recommended for their low ESR and superior temperature and voltage characteristics. Y5V capacitors should not be used as their temperature coefficients make them unsuitable for this application. • • • • A high efficiency fractional charge pump that supplies power to all LEDs Four matched current sinks that control LED backlighting current, with 0.5mA to 25mA per LED An LED flash output that provides up to 400mA of momentary current or up to 250mA of continuous spotlight current An I2C compatible interface that provides control of all device functions LED Backlight Current Sinks The backlight current is set via the I2C compatible interface. The current is regulated to one of 32 values between 0.5mA and 25mA. The step size varies depending upon the current setting. Between 0.5mA and 12mA, the step size is 0.5mA. The step size increases to 1mA for settings between 12mA and 15mA and 2mA for settings greater than 15mA. This feature allows finer adjustment for dimming functions in the low current setting range and coarse adjustment at higher current settings where small current changes are not visibly noticeable in LED brightness. All backlight current sinks have matched currents, even when there is variation in the forward voltages (ΔVF ) of the LEDs. A ΔVF of 1.2V is supported when the input voltage is at 3.0V. Higher ΔVF LED mis-match is supported when VIN is higher than 3.0V. All current sink outputs are compared and the lowest output is used for setting the voltage regulation at the VOUT pin. This is done to ensure that sufficient bias exists for all LEDs, including the flash LED. The backlight LEDs default to the off state upon powerup. For backlight applications using less than four LEDs, any unused output must be left open and the unused LED driver must remain disabled. When writing to the Backlight Enable Control register, a zero (0) must be written to the corresponding bit of any unused output. High Current Fractional Charge Pump The backlight and flash outputs are supported by a high efficiency, high current fractional charge pump output at the VOUT pin. The charge pump multiplies the input voltage by 1, 1.5, or 2 times. The charge pump switches at a fixed frequency of 250kHz in 1.5x and 2x modes and is disabled in 1x mode to save power and improve efficiency. The mode selection circuit automatically selects the 1x, 1.5x or 2x mode based on circuit conditions. Circuit conditions such as low input voltage, high output current, or high LED voltage place a higher demand on the charge pump output. A higher numerical mode may be needed momentarily to maintain regulation at the VOUT pin during intervals of high demand, such as the high current of an LED flash or the droop at the VIN pin during a supply voltage transient. The charge pump responds to these momentary high demands, setting the charge pump to the optimum mode (1x, 1.5x or 2x), as needed to deliver the output voltage and load current while optimizing efficiency. Hysteresis is provided to prevent mode toggling. The charge pump requires two bucket capacitors for low ripple operation. One capacitor must be connected between the C1+ and C1- pins and the other must be 11 SC623A Applications Information (continued) Backlight Quiescent Current The quiescent current required to operate all four backlights is reduced by 1.5mA when backlight current is set to 4.0mA or less. This feature results in higher efficiency under light-load conditions. Further reduction in quiescent current will result from using fewer than four LEDs. timer may be reset by either forcing the FLEN pin low or by resetting the Flash/Spotlight control bits via the interface. Shutdown State The device is disabled when the EN pin is low. All registers are reset to default condition when EN is low. Fade-In and Fade-Out Backlight brightness can be set to automatically fade-in when current is set to increase and fade-out when current is set to decrease. When enabled with a new current setting, the current will step through each incremental setting between the old and new values. The result is a visually smooth change in brightness with a rate of fade that can be set to 8, 16, 24, or 32 ms per step. Sleep Mode When all LEDs are off, sleep mode is activated. This is a reduced current mode that helps minimize overall current consumption by turning off the clock and the charge pump while continuing to monitor the serial interface for commands. I2C Compatible Interface Functions All device functions can be controlled via the I2C compatible interface. The interface is described in detail in the Serial Interface section of the datasheet. LED Flash and Spotlight Current Sink A single output current sink is provided to drive both flash and spotlight functions. In flash mode, this current sink provides up to 400mA for a flash LED or array of parallel LEDs. Flash current settings are in 50mA increments from 50mA to 400mA. The FLEN pin directly triggers the FLASH function when pulled high, or it can be wired to VIN to enable software control via the serial interface. In spotlight mode, the output can be set for up to 250mA of continuous current. Settings are available in 50mA increments from 50mA to 250mA. Continuous operation above 250mA is not recommended due to high power dissipation. Protection Features The SC623A provides several protection features to safeguard the device from catastrophic failures. These features include: • • • • Output Open Circuit Protection Over-Temperature Protection Charge Pump Output Current Limit LED Float Detection Flash and Spotlight Safety Timer A safety timer disables the flash and spotlight output current sink if the sink remains active for an extended period. The timer protects the SC623A and the LED from high power dissipation that can cause overheating. The timer’s default state is on, but the timer may be disabled via the serial interface to allow continuous output current in spotlight mode. The safety timer affects only the FL pin and will turn off the sink after a period of 1 second. The Output Open Circuit Protection Over-Voltage Protection (OVP) is provided at the VOUT pin to prevent the charge pump from producing an excessively high output voltage. In the event of an open circuit at VOUT, the charge pump runs in open loop and the voltage rises up to the OVP limit. OVP operation is hysteretic, meaning the charge pump will momentarily turn off until VOUT is sufficiently reduced. The maximum OVP threshold is 6.0V, allowing the use of a ceramic output capacitor rated at 6.3V with no fear of over-voltage damage. 12 SC623A Applications Information (continued) Over-Temperature Protection The Over-Temperature (OT) protection circuit helps prevent the device from overheating and experiencing a catastrophic failure. When the junction temperature exceeds 160°C, the device goes into thermal shutdown with all outputs disabled until the junction temperature is reduced. All register information is retained during thermal shutdown. Charge Pump Output Current Limit The device also limits the charge pump current at the VOUT pin. When VOUT is shorted to ground, the typical output current is 300mA. The current limiting is triggered by an output under-voltage lockout below 2V. The output returns to normal when the short is removed and VOUT is above 2.5V. Above 2.5V, a typical current limit of 300mA applies when the FL current sink is off and a typical current limit of 1A applies when the FL current sink is on. LED Float Detection Float detect is a fault detection feature of the LED current sink outputs. If an output is programmed to be enabled and an open circuit fault occurs at any current sink output, that output will be disabled to prevent a sustained output OVP condition from occurring due to the resulting open loop. Float detect ensures device protection but does not ensure optimum performance. Unused LED outputs must be disabled to prevent an open circuit fault from occurring. 13 SC623A Applications Information (continued) PCB Layout Considerations The layout diagram in Figure 1 illustrates a proper two-layer PCB layout for the SC623A and supporting components. Following fundamental layout rules is critical for achieving the performance specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. The following guidelines are recommended when developing a PCB layout: • • • • • • Place all bypass and decoupling capacitors — C1, C2, CIN, and COUT, as close to the device as possible. All charge pump current passes through VIN, VOUT, and the bucket capacitor connection pins. Ensure that all connections to these pins make use of wide traces so that the resistive drop on each connection is minimized. The thermal pad should be connected to the ground plane using multiple vias to ensure proper thermal connection for optimal heat transfer. Make all ground connections to a solid ground plane as shown in the example layout (Figure 3). If a ground layer is not feasible, the following groupings should be connected: PGND — CIN, COUT AGND — Ground Pad If no ground plane is available, PGND and AGND should be routed back to the negative battery terminal as separate signals using thick traces. Joining the two ground returns at the terminal prevents large pulsed return currents from mixing with the low-noise return currents.

These current sinks need to be enabled in the Backlight Enable Control register to be active. FADE[1:0] These bits are used to set the rise/fall rate between two backlight currents as follows: FADE_1 0 0 1 1 FADE_0 0 1 0 1 Fade Feature Rise/Fall Rate (ms/step) 32 24 16 8 during an ongoing fade operation, but an ongoing fade operation may be cancelled by resetting the fade bit. Clearing the fade bit during an ongoing fade operation changes the backlight current immediately to the value of BL[4:0]. The number of counts to complete a fade operation equals the difference between the old and new backlight values to increment or decrement the BL[4:0] bits. If the fade bit is cleared, the current level will change immediately without the fade delay. The rate of fade may be changed dynamically, even while a fade operation is active, by writing new values to the FADE_1 and FADE_0 bits. The total fade time is determined by the number of steps between old and new backlight values, multiplied by the rate of fade in ms/step. The longest elapsed time for a full scale fade-out of the backlight is nominally 1.024 seconds when the default interval of 32ms is used. The number of steps in changing the backlight current will be equal to the change in binary count of bits BL[4:0]. FADE_EN This bit is used to enable or disable the fade feature. When the fade function is enabled and a new backlight current is set, the backlight current will change from its current value to a new value set by bits BL[4:0] at a rate of 8ms to 32ms per step. A new backlight level cannot be written 15 SC623A Register and Bit Definitions (continued) BL[4:0] These bits are used to set the current for the backlight current sinks.

FLTO This bit is used to enable the flash safety time-out feature. The default state is enabled with FLTO = 1. If this bit is set, the device will turn off the flash after a nominal period of 1s. Two ways to re-enable the flash function after a safety time-out are: Pull the FLEN pin low to re-enable the flash function Clear and re-write FL[2:0] Backlight Current (mA) 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 2.5 3.0 3.5 4.0 4.5 5 5.5 6 6.5 7 7.5 8 8.5 9 9.5 10 10.5 11 11.5 12 13 14 15 17 19 21 23 25 • • 16 SC623A Register and Bit Definitions (continued) FL[2:0] These bits are used to set the current for the flash current sink when configured for flash or spotlight by the FL/SPLB bit. Bits FL[2:0] set the flash or spotlight current, as shown in Table 2.

If this bit is set, the FL current sink can be used to drive a flash of maximum duration 500ms and the current range will be the high (flash) current range. If this bit is cleared, the FL current sink can be used to drive a continuous spotlight at a lower current and the current range will be the lower (spotlight) current range, as shown in Table 2. Note: (1) When on continuously, the device may reach the temperature limit with 300mA and higher. 17 SC623A Serial Interface The I2C General Specification The SC623A is a read-write slave-mode I C device and complies with the Philips I2C standard Version 2.1, dated January 2000. The SC623A has four user-accessible internal 8-bit registers. The I2C interface has been designed for program flexibility, supporting direct format for write operation. Read operations are supported on both combined format and stop separated format. While there is no auto increment/decrement capability in the SC623A I2C logic, a tight software loop can be designed to randomly access the next register independent of which register you begin accessing. The start and stop commands frame the data-packet and the repeat start condition is allowed if necessary. 2 by an eighth bit indicating a write. The SC623A I2C then acknowledges that it is being addressed, and the master responds with an 8 bit data byte consisting of the register address. The slave acknowledges and the master sends the appropriate 8 bit data byte. Once again the slave acknowledges and the master terminates the transfer with the stop condition [P]. Combined Format — Read After the start condition [S], the slave address is sent, followed by an eighth bit indicating a write. The SC623A I2C then acknowledges that it is being addressed, and the master responds with an 8 bit data byte consisting of the register address. The slave acknowledges and the master sends the repeated start condition [Sr]. Once again, the slave address is sent, followed by an eighth bit indicating a read. The slave responds with an acknowledge and the previously addressed 8 bit data byte; the master then sends a non-acknowledge (NACK). Finally, the master terminates the transfer with the stop condition [P]. Stop Separated Reads Stop-separated reads can also be used. This format allows a master to set up the register address pointer for a read and return to that slave at a later time to read the data. In this format the slave address followed by a write command are sent after a start [S] condition. The SC623A then acknowledges it is being addressed, and the master responds with the 8-bit register address. The master sends a stop or restart condition and may then address another slave. After performing other tasks, the master can send a start or restart condition to the SC623A with a read command. The device acknowledges this request and returns the data from the register location that had previously been set up. SC623A Limitations to the I2C Specifications The SC623A only recognizes seven bit addressing. This means that ten bit addressing and CBUS communication are not compatible. The device can operate in either standard mode (100kbit/s) or fast mode (400kbit/s). Slave Address Assignment The seven bit slave address is 0110 111x. The eighth bit is the data direction bit. 0x6E is used for a write operation, and 0x6F is used for a read operation. Supported Formats The supported formats are described in the following subsections. Direct Format — Write The simplest format for an I2C write is direct format.
