FUNCTIONAL DIAGRAM 5 VIN SW 1 R1 R2 + X1 DISABLE SET 250ns ONE-SHOT R3 CLEAR X2 DRIVER + R4 GND POWER TRANSISTOR Q1 FB 3 Q2 SHDN 4 Shutdown Logic 2 THEORY OF OPERATION Operation can be best understood by referring to the functional diagram above and the typical application circuit in the front page. Q1 and Q2 along with R3 and R4 form a band gap reference. The input to this circuit completes a feedback path from the high voltage output through a voltage divider, and is used as the regulation control input. When the voltage at the FB pin is slightly above 1.22V, comparator X1 disables most of the internal circuitry. Current is then provided by capacitor C2, which slowly discharges until the voltage at the FB pin drops below the lower hysteresis point of X1, about 6mV. X1 then enables the internal circuitry, turns on chip power, and the current in the inductor begins to ramp up. When the current through the driver transistor reaches about Jun26-07 Rev D 450mA, comparator X2 clears the latch, which turns off the driver transistor for a preset 250nS. At the instant of shutoff, inductor current is diverted to the output through diode D1. During this 250nS time limit, inductor current decreases while its energy charges C2. At the end of the 250ns time period, driver transistor is again allowed to turn on which ramps the current back up to the 450mA level. Comparator X2 clears the latch, it’s output turns off the driver transistor, and this allows delivery of L1’s stored kinetic energy to C2. This switching action continues until the output capacitor voltage is charged to the point where FB is at band gap (1.22V). When this condition is reached, X1 turns off the internal circuitry and the cycle repeats. © 2007 Sipex Corporation Micro Power Boost Regulator Series White LED Driver  Refer to the typical application circuit, TAMB = 25°C, unless otherwise specified.

However, there is typically propagation delay of 200nS between the time when the current limit is reached and when the switch is actually turned off. During this 200nS delay, the peak inductor current will increase, exceeding the current limit by a small amount. The peak inductor current can be estimated by: IPK = ILIM + VI N ( M A X ) L • 200nS Ceramic capacitors are recommended for their inherently low ESR, which will help produce low peak to peak output ripple, and reduce high frequency spikes. For the typical application, 4.7µF input capacitor and 2.2µF output capacitor are sufficient. The input and output ripple could be further reduced by increasing the value of the input and output capacitors. Place all the capacitors as close to the SP6691 as possible for layout. For use as a voltage source, to reduce the output ripple, a small feedforward (47pF) across the top feedback resistor can be used to provide sufficient overdrive for the error comparator, thus reduce the output ripple. Refer to Table 2 for some suggested low ESR capacitors. Table 2. Suggested Low ESR Capacitor MANUF.

In selecting an inductor, the saturation current specified for the inductor needs to be greater than the SP6691 peak current to avoid saturating the inductor, which would result in a loss in efficiency and could damage the inductor. Choosing an inductor with low DCR decreases power losses and increase efficiency. Refer to Table 1 for some suggested low ESR inductors. Table 1. Suggested Low ESR inductor MANUF.

In selecting a Schottky diode, the current rating of the schottky diode should be larger than the peak inductor current. Moreover, the reverse breakdown voltage of the schottky diode should be larger than the output voltage. In the white LEDs application, the SP6691 is generally programmed as a current source. The bias resistor Rb, as shown in the typical application circuit is used to set the operating current of the white LED using the equation: Rb = VFB IF where VFB is the feedback pin voltage (1.22V), I F is the operating current of the White LEDs. In order to achieve accurate LED current, 1% Jun26-07 Rev D Micro Power Boost Regulator Series White LED Driver © 2007 Sipex Corporation  APPLICATION INFORMATION: Continued precision resistors are recommended. Table 3 below shows the Rb selection for different white LED currents. For example, to set the operating current to be 20mA, Rb is selected as 60.4 , as shown in the schematic. Table 3.

To program the SP6691 as voltage source, the SP6691 requires 2 feedback resistors R1 & R2 to control the output voltage. As shown in Figure 22. VIN L1 D1 Dimming control can be achieved by applying a PWM control signal to the SHDN pin. The brightness of the white LEDs is controlled by increasing and decreasing the duty cycle of the PWM signal. A 0% duty cycle corresponds to zero LED current and a 100% duty cycle corresponds to full load current. While the operating frequency range of the PWM control is from 60Hz to 700Hz, the recommended maximum brightness frequency range of the PWM signal is from 60Hz to 200Hz. A repetition rate of at least 60Hz is required to prevent flicker. The magnitude of the PWM signal should be higher than the minimum SHDN voltage high.

Using SP6691 as Voltage Source When any white LED inside the white LED module fails or the LED module is disconnected from the circuit, the output and the feedback control will be open, thus resulting in a high output voltage, which may cause the SW pin voltage to exceed it maximum rating. In this case, a zener diode can be used at the output to limit the voltage on the SW pin and protect the part. The zener voltage should be larger than the maximum forward voltage of the White LED module. The formula and table for the resistor selection are shown below: R1 =( VOUT 1.22 - 1 ) • R2 Micro Power Boost Regulator Series White LED Driver © 2007 Sipex Corporation Jun26-07 Rev D  APPLICATION INFORMATION Layout Consideration Both the input capacitor and the output capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the IC. This can reduce the copper trace resistance which directly effects the input and output ripples. The feedback resistor network should be kept close to the FB pin to minimize copper trace connections that can inject noise into the system. The ground connection for the feedback resistor network should connect directly to the GND pin or to an analog ground plane that is tied directly to the GND pin. The inductor and the schottky diode should be placed as close as possible to the switch pin to minimize the noise coupling to the other circuits, especially the feedback network.

Improve Efficiency with Diode in Feedback Loop For the typical application circuit, the output efficiency of the circuit is expressed by = VOUT • IOUT VIN • IIN To further improve the efficiency and reduce the effects of the ambient temperature on the diode D1 used in method 1, an op amp circuit can be used as shown in Figure 24. The gain of the op amp circuit can be calculated by: Av = R1 + R 2 R1 Where VIN , IIN, VOUT, IOUT are the input and output voltage and current respectively. While the white LED efficiency is expressed by = (VOUT - 1.22) • IOUT VIN • IIN If the voltage across the bias resistor is set to be 0.1V the current through R1 and R2 to be around 100µA, R1 and R2 can be selected as 1K and 11.2K respectively. LMV341 can be used because of its small supply current, offset voltage and minimum supply voltage. By using this method, the efficiency can be increased around 7%. Vbattery This equation indicates that the white LED efficiency will be much smaller than the output efficiency of the circuit when VOUT is not very large, compared to the feedback voltage (1.22V). The other power is consumed by the bias resistor. To reduce this power loss, two circuits can be used, as shown in Figure 23 and Figure 24. In Figure 23, a general-purpose diode (for example, 1N4148) is used to bring the voltage across the bias resistor to be around 0.7V. R1 is used to create a loop that provides around 100µA operating current for the diode. 3% efficiency improvement can be achieved by using this method.
