switch FET, the BCT3692B drives up a string of
up to 10 LEDs in series. The boost converter runs
at 1.1MHz fixed switching frequency to reduce
output ripple, improve conversion efficiency, and
allows for the use of small external components.

The default white LED current is set with the
external sense resistor RSET, and the feedback
voltage is regulated to 200mV, as shown in the
typical application. During the operation, a pulse
width modulation (PWM) signal can be applied to
the CTRL pin through which the duty cycle
determines the feedback reference voltage.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
OPERATION
The BCT3692B is a high efficiency, high output voltage boost converter in small package size. The device is ideal for
driving up to 10 white LEDs in series. The serial LED connection provides even illumination by sourcing the same output
current through all LEDs. The device integrates 38V/2A switch FET and operates in pulse width modulation (PWM) with
1.1MHz fixed switching frequency. The duty cycle of the converter is set by the error amplifier output and the current signal
applied to the PWM control comparator. The control architecture is based on traditional current-mode control. Therefore,
slope compensation is added to the current signal to allow stable operation for duty cycle larger than 50%. The feedback
loop regulates the FB pin to a low reference voltage (200mV typical), reducing the power dissipation in the current sense
resistor.
SOFT START-UP
Soft-start circuitry is integrated into the IC to avoid a high inrush current during start-up. After the device is enabled, the
voltage at FB pin ramps up to the reference voltage. This ensures that the output voltage rises slowly to reduce the input
current.
OPEN LED PROTECTION
Open LED over-voltage protection circuitry prevents IC damage as the result of white LED disconnection. The BCT3692B
monitors the voltage at the SW pin during each switching cycle. The circuitry turns off the switch FET as soon as the SW
voltage exceeds the VOVP threshold for 8 clock cycles.
SHUTDOWN
The CTRL input is used to enable or disable the BCT3692B. Pulling the CTRL pin higher than 1.4V will enable the device.
The BCT3692B has an internal shutdown delay circuitry, when the CTRL pin is held low for an amount of time longer than
2.5ms, the BCT3692B will enter shutdown mode and the input supply current for the device is less than 1μA. Although the
internal FET does not switch in shutdown, there is still a DC current path between the input and the LEDs through the
inductor and Schottky diode. The minimum forward voltage of the LED array must exceed the maximum input voltage to
ensure that the LEDs remain off in shutdown. However, in the typical application with two or more LEDs, the forward
voltage is large enough to reverse bias the Schottky and keep leakage current low.
UNDER-VOLTAGE LOCKOUT
An under-voltage lockout prevents operation of the device at input voltage below typical 2.2V. When the input voltage is
below the under-voltage threshold, the internal switch FET is turned off. If the input voltage rises by under-voltage lockout
hysteresis, the IC restarts.
CURRENT PROGRAM
The loop of Boost structure will keep the FB pin voltage equal to the reference voltage VFB. Therefore, when Rset connects
FB pin and GND, the current flows from VOUT through LED and Rset to GND will be decided by the current on Rset, which is
equal to following equation:
ILED = VFB / Rset

ILED =output current of LEDs
VFB =regulated voltage of FB
Rset =current sense resistor
PWM BRIGHTNESS DIMMING
When the CTRL pin is constantly high, the FB voltage is regulated to 200mV typically. However, the CTRL pin allows a
PWM signal to reduce this regulation voltage, it achieves LED brightness dimming. The relationship between the duty cycle
and the FB voltage is given by the following equation:
VFB = Duty x 200mV
Where:
Duty = duty cycle of the PWM signal
200mV = internal reference voltage
The IC chops up the internal 200mV reference voltage at the duty cycle of the PWM signal. The pulse signal is then filtered
by an internal low pass filter. The output of the filter is connected to the error amplifier as the reference voltage for the FB
pin regulation. Therefore, although a PWM signal is used for brightness dimming, only the WLED DC current is modulated,
which is often referred as analog dimming. This eliminates the audible noise which often occurs when the LED current is
pulsed in replica of the frequency and duty cycle of PWM control. Unlike other scheme which filters the PWM signal for
analog dimming, BCT3692B regulation voltage is independent of the PWM logic voltage level which often has large
variations.
THERMAL SHUTDOWN
An internal thermal shutdown turns off the device when the typical junction temperature of is exceeded 165℃. The device is
released from shutdown automatically when the junction temperature decreases by 15℃.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
MAXIMUM OUTPUT CURRENT
The over-current limit in a boost converter limits the maximum input current and thus maximum input power for a given
input voltage. Maximum output power is less than maximum input power due to power conversion losses. The current limit
setting, input voltage, output voltage and efficiency can all change maximum current output. Therefore, the ripple has to be
subtracted to derive maximum DC current. The ripple current is a function of switching frequency, inductor value and duty
cycle. The following equations take into account of all the above factors for maximum output current calculation.

IP =

L × FS × (

)
VOUT + VF − VIN VIN
Where:
IP = inductor peak to peak ripple L= inductor value
VF = Schottky diode forward voltage
FS = switching frequency
VOUT = output voltage of the boost converter. It is equal to the sum of VFB and the voltage drop across LEDs.
VIN × (ILIM − IP /2) × η
IOUT_MAX =
VOUT
Where:
IOUT_MAX = maximum output current of the boost converter
ILIM = over-current limit, for worst case calculation the minimum value has to be chosen.
η= efficiency
INDUCTOR SELECTION
Inductor value, saturation current, and Direct Current Resistance (DCR) are the most important parameters used to select
an inductor for the BCT3692B.
The suitable inductance range for this device is 10 μH to 22μH. Higher inductance lowers the value of the RMS current of
the step-up converter. Together with a lower DCR value of the inductor, the total inductor power loss becomes much lower.
Considering inductor size and cost, 10 μH inductance is recommended. The below table lists some recommended
inductors for the BCT3692B.

diode’s reverse breakdown voltage must exceed the open LED protection voltage. To achieve better efficiency, a low VF
Schottky diode is recommended. ONSemi MBR0540 and ZETEX ZHCS400 are recommended for the BCT3692B.
OUTPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION
The output capacitor is mainly selected to meet the requirements for the output ripple and loop stability.
The output voltage of the BCT3692B could reach up to 38V. X7R type output capacitor rated of 50 V is suggested. To
reduce power loss, a ceramic capacitor with a low Effective Series Resistance (ESR) is better. The capacitor in the range of
0.47uF to 10uF is recommended for input side. The recommended output capacitor value is 1uF.
PCB LAYOUT CONSIDERATION
For best performance of the BCT3692B, the following guidelines must be followed.
1. Input /Output capacitors should be placed close to the IC and connected to ground to reduce noise coupling..
2. Keep the main current traces as possible as short and wide.
3. Vin will be connected with Vbattery with wide track, to avoid the interference of RF PA and Audio PA.
