GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XC9116 series is a fixed frequency, constant current step-up DC/DC converter ideal for driving LEDs used in backlighting applications such as cellular phones, PDAs and digital cameras. Output voltage of up to 17.5V can be derived, therefore four white LEDs in series can be driven. Since an LED current can be set by an external resistor when LEDs are in-series connection, all white LEDs can be turned on equably. A network of two parallel legs with three in each LED can be also driven. Luminance of the LEDs is controlled by changing the duty cycle of a PWM signal applied to the CE pin. Efficiency is high with the low feedback reference voltage ensuring the RLED losses are minimal. In addition, an internal MOSFET with an RDSON of 2.0 is used. A low profile and small board area solution can be achieved using a chip coil and an ultra small ceramic output capacitor (CL) of 0.22F as a result of the high 1.0MHz switching frequency. The 'B' type of XC9116 has an additional fault detection circuit. If the LEDs are disconnected or damaged, excess or run away output voltage is prevented by stopping the drive of the internal MOSFET.

OPERATIONAL EXPLANATION
The series consists of a reference voltage source, ramp wave circuit, error amplifier, PWM comparator, phase compensation circuit, Lx overvoltage limit circuit, N-channel MOS driver transistor, current limiter circuit and others. The series ICs compare, using the error amplifier, the voltage of the internal voltage reference source with the feedback voltage from the FB pin. Phase compensation is performed on the resulting error amplifier output, to input a signal to the PWM comparator to determine the turn-on time during switching. The PWM comparator compares, in terms of voltage level, the signal from the error amplifier with the ramp wave from the ramp wave circuit, and delivers the resulting output to the N-channel MOS driver transistor to cause the Lx pin to output a switching duty cycle. This process is continuously performed to ensure stable output voltage. The current feedback circuit detects the N-channel MOS driver transistor's current for each switching operation, and modulates the error amplifier output signal. This enables a stable feedback loop even when a low ESR capacitor, such as a ceramic capacitor, is used, ensuring stable output voltage. <Reference Voltage Source> The reference voltage source provides the reference voltage to ensure stable output voltage of the IC. <Ramp Wave Circuit> The ramp wave circuit determines switching frequency. The 1MHz (TYP.) of frequency is fixed internally. Clock pulses generated in this circuit are used to produce ramp waveforms needed for PWM operation. <Error Amplifier> The error amplifier is designed to monitor output voltage. The amplifier compares the reference voltage with the FB pin voltage. When a voltage lower than the reference voltage is fed back, the output voltage of the error amplifier is increased. Gain and frequency characteristics of the error amplifier output are fixed internally as an optimize signal.

OPERATIONAL EXPLANATIONS (Continued)
<Current Limit> The current limit circuit of the XC9116 series monitors the current flowing through the N-channel MOS driver transistor connected to the Lx pin, and features a combination of the constant-current type current limit mode and the duty cycle limit of the next pulse. 1When the driver current is greater than a specific level, the constant-current type current limit function operates to turn off the pulses from the Lx pin at any given timing. 2The IC controls the next pulse to be smaller than the first pulse.

LX
The current w ill be of f w hen the coil current reaches the value of the constant current limit. Limit some duty pulses af ter the limit.
<Lx Overvoltage Limit Circuit> XC9116B series' Lx overvoltage limit circuit monitors the Lx pin voltage. When the Lx pin voltage exceeds than 19V (TYP.), the IC performs the function of latching the OFF state of the driver transistor, and goes into operation suspension mode. In suspension mode, operations can be resumed by restoring power to the VIN pin. The suspension mode does not mean a complete shutdown, but a state in which pulse output is suspended; therefore, the internal circuitry remains in operation. <Maximum Duty Cycle Limit> The XC9116B series' maximum duty cycle limit circuit monitors the duty cycle. When the maximum duty cycle is repeated for a certain time, the IC controls the error amplifier output so that the duty cycle of the next pulse becomes smaller than that of the first pulse. <CE Pin Function> The operation of the XC9116 series will enter into the shut down mode when a low level signal is input to the CE pin. During the shut down mode, the supply current is 0A (TYP.), with high impedance at the Lx pin. The IC starts its operation with a high level signal to the CE pin. The input to the CE/MODE pin is a CMOS input and the sink current is 0A (TYP.). 100s after disable, the IC goes into suspension mode and supply current is minimal. After this, the IC will be in stand-by mode and the supply current will be 0A (TYP.).
NOTES ON USE
<Lx (Pin 1): Switch Pin> Please connect the anode of a Schottky barrier diode and an inductor to the Lx pin. <FB (Pin 3): Voltage Feedback Pin> The reference voltage is 200mV (TYP.). A resistor (RLED) should be connected to the FB pin for setting the cathode of LEDs and a constant current value. The resistance value can be calculated by the following equation. RLED=0.2 / ILED ILED=Setting constant current value Typical example: ILED 5mA 10mA RLED 40 20 ILED 13.3mA 20mA RLED 15 10
<CE (Pin 4): Chip Enable Pin> An ENABLED state is reached when the CE voltage exceeds 0.65V and a DISABLED state when the CE Voltage falls below 0.2V. <VIN (Pin 5): Power Supply Pin> Please connect an inductor and an input by-pass capacitor (CIN) to the VIN pin.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
<Dimming Control> 1. Applying PWM signal to the CE pin The XC9116 repeats on/off operations by a PWM signal applied to the CE pin. The magnitude of LED current, ILED, when the diode is on, is determined by RLED. The magnitude is zero when the diode is off. The average of LED current is proportional to the positive duty ratio of the PWM signal. The frequency of the PWM signal can be controlled to the optimum value between 100Hz and 10kHz. With regard to the amplitude of the PWM signal, the high level should be higher than the "H" voltage of CE, VCEH, and the low level, lower than the "L" voltage of CE, VCEL.

2. Step-Wise Regulation of LED Current In some applications, it may be necessary to incorporate step-wise regulation of LED current, ILED. Step-wise regulation of LED illumination is achieved by connecting a switch element SW1 in parallel with RLED and in series with RLED1 and turning SW1 on and off, as shown below. Choose a resistance of RLED so that the minimum necessary current is gained when switch element SW1 is off. The resistance of RLED1 should be such that a desired increase of current passed through the LED is gained when the switch element is on.

<Dimming Control (Continued)> 3. Using DC Voltage If in an application it is necessary to control the LED current by a variable DC voltage, illumination control of LED is achieved by connecting R1 and R2 and applying a direct-current voltage to R2, as shown below. When R1>>RLED, ILED which flows into LEDs can be calculated by the following equation;
ILED = (VREF - R1 / R2 (VDC - VREF)) / RLED VREF = 0.2V (TYP.) Ex.1) When R1 = 10k , R2 = 100k , RLED = 10 , In the range of 0.2V to 2.2V DC, ILED (LED current) varies between 20mA to 0mA.

As well as the way of dimming control by applying the PWM signal to the CE pin, the average LED current increases proportionally with the positive duty cycle of the PWM signal.

APPLICATION INFORMATION (Continued)
<LED Open-circuit Protection> If white LEDs are opened or damaged, the FB pin is pulled down, so that the operating duty ratio reaches the maximum. Accordingly, the output voltage continues to increase, possibly causing the Lx pin voltage to exceed the absolute maximum rating of 22V. In the case of the B type products, if white LEDs are opened or damaged, the detector built in the Lx pin causes the IC to stop oscillating, preventing excessive increase of the output voltage. However, the detector may detect an overvoltage if the Lx pin voltage exceeds 18V, which is the overvoltage limit, even when no LEDs are open. Therefore, care must be taken if four LEDs each having a forward voltage of 4.45V or more are connected in series. In the case of the D type products (no overvoltage limit circuit), a Zener diode (ZD) and a resistor (R1) can be externally connected to serve as a load in the case that LEDs are opened, preventing the increase of the Lx pin voltage. The ZD voltage should be set to no more than 20V and no less than the product of each white LEDs maximum forward voltage multiplied by the number of the connected LEDs, so that the Zener diode will not load the LEDs during normal operation. If the Zener diode becomes load, the current that runs through the white LEDs is reduced, decreasing illumination.

<Startup Inrush Current> The XC9116 series has no soft-start circuit built-in in order to minimize delay at startup. The inrush current can reach up to the current limit, ILIM. In some cases, overshoot can occur.
