RGB LED Driver and
Charge Pump
The LTC

3212 is a low noise charge pump RGB LED

driver capable of driving three LEDs up to 25mA each
from a 2.7V to 5.5V input. Low external part count (one
fying capacitor, two bypass capacitors and one to three
programming resistors) makes the LTC3212 ideally suited
for small, battery-powered applications.
Built-in soft-start circuitry prevents excessive inrush cur-
rent during start-up and mode switching. High switching
frequency enables the use of small external capacitors.
The charge pump shuts down to a high impedance mode
to prevent LED leakage while the LTC3212 is off.
Each LED may be individually turned on or off via a single
pin interface. The current through the LEDs may be indi-
vidually programmed with resistors or may share a single
programming resistor. White mode adjusts the red, green
and blue LED current ratios for a white light when all three
LEDs are programmed to be on.
LED currents are regulated using internal low dropout
current sources. Automatic mode switching optimizes
effciency by monitoring the LED current drivers and
switches mode only when dropout is detected. The part
is available in a 3mm 2mm 12-lead DFN package.

OSCILLATOR
The LTC3212 uses a switched capacitor charge pump to
power three LEDs with a programmable regulated cur-
rent. The part powers up into 1x mode. In this mode V
IN

is directly connected to CPO. When powering up into 1x
mode, the LTC3212 charges the CPO capacitor to near
V
IN
before directly connecting V
IN
to CPO. This prevents
a large in-rush current. 1x mode provides maximum ef-
fciency and minimum noise. The LTC3212 will remain
in this mode until one of the LED current source drivers
operaTion
begins to drop out of regulation. When this drop out oc-
curs the LTC3212 will switch to 2x mode after a soft-start
period. The part will return to 1x mode when the part is
shut down and reprogrammed.
The current delivered through the LED load is controlled
by an internal programmable low dropout current source.
The current is programmed by resistors connected between
the I
SET(R,G,B)
pins and GND.
LTC3212
7
3212fb
operaTion
An overcurrent shutdown mode on the I
SET
pins will pre-
vent damage to the part and the LED by shutting down
the LED drivers. Choosing an R
SET
value of 5.9k or greater
will ensure that the part stays out of this mode. When in
normal operating mode current, regulation is achieved by
controlling an active current source.
In shutdown mode all internal circuitry is turned off and
the LTC3212 draws very little current from the V
IN
supply.
The LTC3212 enters shutdown mode after the LEDEN pin
is brought low for 350s.
Short-Circuit Protection
When LEDEN is brought high, the part will connect V
IN

to CPO through a weak pull-up until CPO has charged to
near V
IN
. After the LTC3212 detects that the CPO voltage
is near the V
IN
voltage, it then enables 1x mode. If the
CPO is shorted or falls below approximately 1V, then the
LTC3212 is disabled. After falling below 1V the LTC3212
will use the weak pull-up to charge CPO to near V
IN
before
re-enabling the chip.
Soft-Start
To prevent excessive inrush during start-up and mode
switching, the LTC3212 employs built-in soft-start circuitry.
Soft-start is achieved by increasing the current available
to the CPO capacitor over a period of approximately
100s.
Charge Pump Strength
When the LTC3212 operates in 2x mode, the charge
pump can be modeled as a Thevenin equivalent circuit
to determine the amount of current available from the
effective input voltage and the effective open-loop output
resistance, R
OL
.

LED Current Programming

The LTC3212 includes three accurate, programmable cur-
rent sources that are capable of driving LED currents up

White Mode
The LTC3212 has a white mode that automatically scales
the current in the red, green and blue LEDs to a preset mix
when selected. This allows the currents programmed with
the external resistors to be set independently of the ratio
needed for white light, increasing the fexibility of program-
ming other colors. The intensity of the white is set by the

Enable
Each LED driver output may be programmed on or off
by pulsing the LEDEN pin while enabling the LTC3212.
An internal counter and decoder selects the output con-
fguration from the number of pulses. This counter is

clocked by the rising edges of the LEDEN signal. Refer to
Figure 2 for timing details. The outputs are programmed
using Table 1.

Mode Switching
The LTC3212 will automatically switch from 1x to 2x mode
whenever it detects a LED driver is entering dropout. The
part will wait approximately 140s before switching to 2x
mode. This delay will act as fltering to prevent the part
from incorrectly switching to 2x mode due to a momen-
tary glitch on the V
IN
supply. The mode may be reset by
entering shutdown mode and reprogramming.

, CPO Capacitor Selection
The style and value of the capacitors used with the LTC3212
determine several important parameters such as regulator
control loop stability, output ripple, charge pump strength
and minimum start-up time.
To reduce noise and ripple, it is recommended that low
equivalent series resistance (ESR) ceramic capacitors are
used for both C
VIN
and C
CPO
. Tantalum and aluminum
capacitors are not recommended due to high ESR.
The value of C
CPO
directly controls the amount of output
ripple for a given load current. Increasing the size of C
CPO

will reduce output ripple at the expense of longer start-up
time. The peak-to-peak output ripple of the 2x mode is
approximately given by the expression:

V
RIPPLEP-P
=
I
f C
OUT
OSC CPO
2
where f
OSC
is the LTC3212 oscillator frequency or typically
900kHz and C
CPO
is the output storage capacitor.
Flying Capacitor Selection
Warning: Polarized capacitors such as tantalum or
aluminum should never be used for the fying capaci-
tors since their voltage can reverse upon start-up of the
LTC3212. Ceramic capacitors should always be used for
the fying capacitors.
The fying capacitors control the strength of the charge
pump. In order to achieve the rated output current it is
necessary to have at least 0.6F of capacitance for fying
capacitor. Capacitors of different materials lose their ca-
pacitance with higher temperature and voltage at different
rates. For example, a ceramic capacitor made of X7R mate-
rial will retain most of its capacitance from 40C to 85C
whereas a Z5U or Y5V style capacitor will lose considerable
capacitance over that range. Z5U and Y5V capacitors may
also have a very poor voltage coeffcient causing them
to lose 60% or more of their capacitance when the rated
voltage is applied. Therefore, when comparing different
capacitors, it is often more appropriate to compare the
amount of achievable capacitance for a given case size
rather than comparing the specifed capacitance value. For
example, over rated voltage and temperature conditions,
a 1F, 10V, Y5V ceramic capacitor in a 0603 case may not
provide any more capacitance than a 0.22F, 10V, X7R
available in the same case. The capacitor manufacturers
data sheet should be consulted to determine what value
of capacitor is needed to ensure minimum capacitances
at all temperatures and voltages.
Table 2 shows a list of ceramic capacitor manufacturers
and how to contact them:

Layout Considerations and Switching Noise
The LTC3212 has been designed to minimize EMI. How-
ever due to its high switching frequency and the transient
currents produced by the LTC3212, careful board layout
is necessary. A true ground plane and short connections
to all capacitors will improve performance and ensure
proper regulation under all conditions.
The fying capacitor pins CP and CM will have 5ns to 10ns
edge rate waveforms. The large dv/dt on these pins can
couple energy capacitively to adjacent PCB runs. Magnetic
felds can also be generated if the fying capacitors are
not close to the LTC3212 (i.e., the loop area is large).
To decouple capacitive energy transfer, a Faraday shield
may be used. This is a grounded PCB trace between the
sensitive node and the LTC3212 pins. For a high quality
AC ground, it should be returned to a solid ground plane
that extends all the way to the LTC3212.

Power Effciency
To calculate the power effciency () of an LED driver chip,
the LED power should be compared to the input power.
The difference between these two numbers represents
lost power whether it is in the charge pump or the cur-
rent sources. Stated mathematically, the power effciency
is given by:

=
P
P
LED
IN
The effciency of the LTC3212 depends upon the mode in
which it is operating. Recall that the LTC3212 operates
as a pass switch, connecting V
IN
to CPO, until dropout
is detected at an I
LED
pin. This feature provides the op-
timum effciency available for a given input voltage and
LED forward voltage. When it is operating as a switch, the
effciency is approximated by:

= = =
P
P
V I
V I
V
V
LED
IN
LED LED
BAT BAT
LED
BAT

since the input current will be very close to the sum of

the LED currents.
At moderate to high output power, the quiescent current
of the LTC3212 is negligible and the expression above is
valid.
Once dropout is detected at any LED pin, the LTC3212
enables the charge pump in 2x mode.
In 2x boost mode, the effciency is similar to that of a
linear regulator with an effective input voltage of 2 times
the actual input voltage. In an ideal 2x charge pump, the
power effciency would be given by:

In some applications it may be possible to increase the
effciency of the LTC3212. If any of the LEDs maximum
forward voltage is less than the minimum V
IN
supply volt-
age minus I
LED
dropout voltage then the charge pump is
not needed to drive that LED. This is often the case with
the red LED due to its lower forward voltage. Its anode
may be connected directly to V
IN
, bypassing the charge
pumps losses in 2x mode.
Thermal Management
If the junction temperature increases above approximately
140C the thermal shutdown circuitry will automatically
deactivate the output current sources and charge pump.
To reduce maximum junction temperature, a good thermal
connection to the PC board is recommended. Connecting
the Exposed Pad to a ground plane and maintaining a solid
ground plane under the device will reduce the thermal
resistance of the package and PC board considerably.
