APPLICATIONS Ultra low cost Handsets PDA, DSC, MP3 players Handheld Computers LCD Display Modules Keyboard Backlight LCD Backlight DESCRIPTION The SP761X driver family provides a simple solution for a matched current source for any color LED. The current in the LEDs can be programmed by an external resistor. The SP7611A is capable of driving four LEDs, while the SP7612A can drive three LEDs. The SP7614A is designed to drive two high current LEDs. LED1 should always be connected to an LED and never left open in order to have the other LEDs driven with a matched current to LED1. The SP7612A and SP7614A feature Enable pins for flexible on/off control and PWM dimming. SP7612A/4A has extremely low (0.01uA typical) shutdown current, prolonging the battery life and giving the longest standby period possible in today's modern design. SP761X driver family is available in a small footprint 6-pin SC-70 package as well as the 6-pin 2x2 TDFN.

As an example, to set the LED current for an SP761x the procedure is: Take the LED current and divide it by the Gain to get ISET = ILED / Gain. Look up the VCTRL pin voltage using ISET on the graph “Ctrl Current vs. Control Voltage”. Once VCTRL is known, use the following formula to find RSET. The gain is not linear, the LED current vs. Cathode voltage graph needs to be used to determine gain. Typically, the gain is ~870 for SP7614A and ~435 for SP7611A/12A when the part is operating in the linear region. RSET = (VCONTROL - VCTRL) / ISET RSET Example For an SP7614A with VCONTROL of 3V and LED current of 20mA. ISET = 20mA/870 (870 is the typical gain in linear operation) = 22uA. Using the graph on page 5 in the typical performance section, the VCTRL voltage on the control pin will be about 1.1V, then RSET will be determined by: RSET = (3V - 1.1V) / 22uA RSET = 86KΩ Temperature Considerations LEDs are very sensitive to temperature. In most cases the maximum allowed junction temperature is 100ºC. The case of overtemperature due to power dissipation is de-scribed by the following: TJ = TA + ӨJA x I x VF where TJ is the LED junction temperature, TA is the ambient temperature, ӨJA is the junction to ambient thermal resistance, I is the LED current and VF is the LED forward voltage. When the temperature rises and the cathode voltage increases, SP761X reduces the current through LEDs. Refer to "LED Current vs. LED Cathode Voltage" graph under the Typical Performance Characteristics section. Efficiency The system efficiency, defined as the ratio between the LED's power and the input supplied power can be calculated as follows: Efficiency = (VIN - VCATHODE) / VIN The lower the VCATHODE , the higher the system efficiency. Efficiency can be further improved using a higher VIN with more LEDs as shown in example 3. The SP761X driver's low dropout architecture can significantly improve the efficiency compared to using simple ballast resistors. Application Information The ultra-low voltage drop across the SP761X series of LED drivers allows the devices to drive white, blue, and other color LEDs in a wide range of input voltages. The driver can be used in many PWM FUNCTION The LED's brightness can also be adjusted by driving either the ENABLE or the CTRL pin with a PWM signal. The driving signal frequency should be greater than 100Hz to avoid flickering, increasing to more than 1MHz, if necessary.

Any of the SP761X series of LED drivers can be used in the applications presented in this document, due to their similar operation. Example 1: Drive low VF white or blue LEDs directly from single cell Li-Ion When using white or blue low VF LEDs, and utilizing the driver's low voltage drop, only 3.4V VIN is needed for the full 20mA LED current. At 3.1V, there is still 5mA of typical current available for the LEDs. The single cell Li-Ion battery is utilized in many applications like cell phones or digital still cameras. In most cases, the Li-Ion battery voltage level only goes down to 3.0V, and not down to the full discharge level (2.7V) before requesting the charger. VDROP < 0.3V. This is the dropout voltage for the SP7611A. - VF = 3.1V. Low VF white LED forward voltage drop - VIN (at 20mA) needs to be greater than (VDROP+VF) 3.1V+.3V= 3.4V Key Advantages 1) No boost circuit needed for the LCD or keyboard backlight. 2) Drivers directly connected to a Li-Ion battery. 3) No EMI, no switching noise, no boost converter efficiency loss, 1 capacitor, and no inductor. Example 2: Drive high VF white or blue LEDs from existing bus ~ 4.0V to 5.5V High VF LEDs have a forward voltage drop in the range of 3.2V to 4.0V. In order to drive these LEDs with the maximum current of 20mA, enabling maximum brightness usually requires a boost circuit for a single cell Li-Ion power supply. The SP761X series is capable of driving high VF white or blue LEDs with its ultra-low dropout feature. The VIN needs to be only 300mV higher than the highest VF in the circuit. - VDROP < 0.3V. Dropout voltage of the SP7611A - VF (at 20mA) < 3.3V to 4.0V (High VF) - VIN (at 20mA) = VDROP + VF = 3.6V to 4.3V - VIN (at 5mA typical) ~ 3.3V Where VIN = Existing bus = 3.3V to 4.3V Jul31-07 RevT Key Advantages 1) No boost circuit needed for the LCD or keyboard backlight. 2) Drivers utilize existing bus. 3) Ultra-low voltage drop provides the full 20mA LED current at the lowest possible voltage level. Example 3: Drive white, blue, red, amber LED string In a boost circuit, or existing voltage bus, the SP761X series of LED drivers can be used to drive a whole string of LEDs and achieve flexible brightness control - whether using analog or PWM. VDROP = 0.3V. Dropout voltage of the SP7611A - VIN_MIN = N x VF + VDROP - VIN_MIN = N x VF + 0.3V Where VIN_MIN = Existing bus, boost Voltage ‘N’ number of LEDs Per Branch VF = Forward voltage of the LED Key Advantages 1) No need for current matching resistors and discrete transistors for brightness control.
