General Description
The RY3740 series is a step-up converter designed for driving up to 10 white LEDs or up to 40V output voltage
from a single cell Lithium Ion battery. The device features integrated overvoltage protection and feedback voltage
is regulated to 100mV to 600mV. Low feedback voltage helps to reduces power loss and improves efficiency.
Customers can choose different FB voltages according to their application. Optimized operation frequency can meet
the requirement of small LC filters value and low operation current with high efficiency. Internal soft start function
can reduce the inrush current. Both SOT23-5 and DFN2×2-6 package type provides the best solution for PCB space
saving and total BOM cost.

Note (1): Exceeding these ratings may damage the device.
Note (2): The device is not guaranteed to function outside of its operating conditions.
Note (3): The maximum allowable power dissipation is a function of the maximum junction temperature, TJ(MAX),
the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance, RθJA, and the ambient temperature, TA. The maximum allowable power
dissipation at any ambient temperature is calculated using: PD (MAX) = (TJ(MAX) − TA)/RθJA. Exceeding the maximum
allowable power dissipation causes excessive die temperature, and the regulator goes into thermal shutdown.
Internal thermal shutdown circuitry protects the device from permanent damage. Thermal shutdown engages at
TJ=160°C (typical) and disengages at TJ= 130°C (typical).

Functions Description
Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO)
Under-voltage lockout (UVLO) protects the chip from operating at an insufficient supply voltage. UVLO protection
monitors the internal regulator voltage. When the voltage is lower than UVLO threshold voltage, the device is shut
off. When the voltage is higher than UVLO threshold voltage, the device is enabled again.
Enable and PWM Dimming
When the input voltage is above maximal UVLO rising threshold and the CTRL pin is pulled high, the RY3740
series is enabled. When the CTRL pin is pulled low, the RY3740 series goes into shutdown mode. In shutdown
mode, less than 1μA input current is consumed. Because there is a conductive path from the input to the output
through the inductor and Schottky diode, the output voltage is equal to the input voltage during shutdown. The
CTRL pin allows disabling and enabling of the device as well as brightness control of the LEDs by applying a PWM
signal up to typically 1kHz. When a PWM signal is applied, the LED current is turned on when the CTRL is high
and off when CTRL is pulled low. Changing the PWM duty cycle therefore changes the LED brightness.
Soft-Start
The RY3740 series begins soft start when the CTRL pin is pulled high. At the beginning of the soft start period, the
isolation FET is turned on slowly to charge the output capacitor. After the pre-charge phase, the RY3740 series starts
switching. This is called switching soft start phase. An internal soft start circuit limits the peak inductor current
according to the output voltage. The switching soft start phase is about 600µs typically. The soft start function

reduces the inrush current during startup.
Over-Voltage Protection
As with any current source, the output voltage rises when the output gets high impedance or disconnected. To
prevent the output voltage exceeding the maximum switch voltage rating of the main switch, an over voltage
protection circuit is integrated. As soon as the output voltage exceeds the OVP threshold, the converter stops
switching and the output voltage falls.
Efficiency and Feedback Voltage
The feedback voltage has a direct effect on the converter efficiency. Because the voltage drop across the feedback
resistor does not contribute to the output power (LED brightness), the lower the feedback voltage, the higher the
efficiency. Especially when powering only three or less LEDs, the feedback voltage impacts the efficiency around
2% depending on the sum of the forward voltage of the LEDs.
Thermal Shutdown
Thermal shutdown prevents the chip from operating at exceedingly high temperatures. When the silicon die
temperature exceeds 160°C, it shuts down the whole chip. When the temperature falls below its lower threshold
(Typ. 130°C) the chip is enabled again.
LED Applications Information (1)
Note (1): The following dimming methods are based on the RY3740CT5 250mV FB voltage value. Different FB
need to choose different resistors and external DC voltage signals to get the desired ILED value.
Setting the LED Current
The LED current is controlled by the feedback resistor, R1. The current through the LEDs is given by the equation
𝑉 FB/𝑅1. ILED is average LED current. According to the Superposition Theorem, we can implement the analog
dimming function, and we provide a variety of different FB voltage to choose from, which can help customers more
easily adapt to their application needs.
Dimming Control
1. Using a PWM Signal to CTRL Pin
For controlling the LED brightness, the RY3740 series can perform the dimming control by applying a PWM signal
to CTRL pin. The internal soft start and the wide range dimming frequency can eliminate inrush current and audio
noise when dimming. The average LED current is proportional to the PWM signal duty cycle. The magnitude of the
PWM signal should be higher than the minimum enables voltage of CTRL pin, in order to let the dimming control
perform correctly for preventing the flicker issue, the selected PWM frequency is ≥100Hz and ≤10KHz.
2. Using a DC Voltage
When CTRL remains high level, using a variable DC voltage to adjust the brightness is a popular method in some
applications. According to the Superposition Theorem, as the DC voltage increases, the voltage contributed to VFB
increases and the voltage drop on R2 decreases, i.e. the LED current decreases. For example, the 250mV FB voltage
RY3740CT5 can use a DC voltage ranging from 0V-2.8V to adjust the LED current, the selection of resistors sets
dimming control of LED current from 20mA to 0mA.

3. Using a Filtered PWM signal
Another common application is using a filtered PWM signal as an adjustable DC voltage for LED dimming control.
A filtered PWM signal acts as the DC voltage to regulate the output current. In this circuit, the output ripple depends
on the frequency of PWM signal. For smaller output voltage ripple (
