Description
The FAN5776 is a synchronous, constant-current LED driver
capable of efficiently driving up to ten LEDs in a five-string,
two-series LEDs per string configuration. Optimized for small
form-factor applications, the 1.8 MHz switching frequency
allows the use of tiny chip inductors and capacitors.
For safety, the device features integrated over-voltage, short-
circuit, and thermal shutdown protections. In addition, input
under-voltage lockout protection is triggered if the battery
voltage is too low.
The FAN5776 is comprised of low-dropout, high-side current
sources, enabling a high efficiency delivery of power from the
battery to the LEDs. The LED current control is established
with a series RSET resistor, which is connected between the
internal voltage reference on the chip and ground.
During operation, FAN5776 holds the boost regulator’s voltage
on COUT during the off cycle of the PWM dimming, which helps
minimize audible noise.
The FAN5776 is available in a very low profile, small-form-
factors 1.42 x 1.66 x 0.50 mm, 12-bump WLCSP package that
is “green” and RoHS compliant.

Note:
1. The minimum VOUT must be 3.5 V to guarantee a maximum LED current of 25 mA for each LED pin. Otherwise the device
internally sets a minimum VOUT to VIN + 0.3 V, and the LED driver dropout is increased accordingly (if LED VF < VIN,
where VF = VOUT - 0.3 V).
Thermal Properties
Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is a function of application and board layout. This data is measured with four-layer 2s2p
boards in accordance to JEDEC standard JESD51. Special attention must be paid not to exceed junction temperature TJ(max) at a

Notes:
2. In closed loop operation, the inductor current (IL) is 30 mA to 40 mA greater than ILIM-PK.
3. Guaranteed by characterization and design.
4. For the LED outputs, the following are determined: the maximum LED current in the group (MAX), the minimum LED
current in the group (MIN), and the average LED current of the group (AVG). Two matching numbers are calculated:
(MAX - AVG) / AVG and (AVG - MIN) / AVG. The larger number of the two (worst case) is considered the matching value
for the group. The matching value for a given part is considered to be the highest matching value of the two groups.
The typical specification provided is the most likely norm of the matching value for all parts.
5. LED driver drop-out voltage is the smallest voltage across all the LED channels.

FAN5776 — Synchronous Boost and Series/Parallel 10-LED Driver
Circuit Description
Overview
The FAN5776 is a 1.8 MHz synchronous step-up DC-DC
converter with integrated constant-current high-side LED
drivers capable of driving one to five LED strings up to 5 x
25 mA LED current.
The device starts when at least one LED string is utilized and
the appropriate EN pin is enabled. The device is disabled in
30 ms by setting both EN pins LOW.
The VOUT voltage is internally set to 290 mV above the highest
LED string voltage, and it is sampled at every falling LED PWM
cycle. For 100% duty cycle, the LED-pin voltage is sampled
and the VOUT voltage is refined every 10 ms.
The LED strings can be disabled by connecting them to VOUT
or shorting them to GND. They can also be left disconnected. If
the LED string is temporarily disabled or shorted, the device
must be re-enabled to enable the string again.
The LED drivers work independently and allow multiple LED
voltages, such that many types of LEDs can be driven at the
same time and some strings can be used to drive a single LED
while other channels are driving two LEDs in series. The VOUT
voltage is defined by the highest LED voltage and the LED
driver dropout voltage is increased to provide the LED string a
specific voltage. If the voltage difference between the LED
strings is large, the system efficiency may decrease.
LED Current
The LED string current is set by the resistor, RSET, between the
ISET and GND pins. The same current is applied to across all
strings such that total output current: IOUT = 5 x ILED = 5 x
20 mA = 100 mA if RSET = 25 kand all LED strings are used.
In general, the LED string current can be calculated as follows:
𝐼𝐿𝐸𝐷 =
500
𝑅𝑆𝐸𝑇
(1)
Figure 26. LED Current vs. RSET Value
Startup
The three different startup functions depend on the system
configuration:
1. All LED strings are utilized: Setting one or both EN pins
HIGH enables the device and VOUT rises to 7.5 V.
FAN5776 starts to step up or down to the appropriate
regulated voltage.
2. At least one LED string in a group is shorted to GND. VOUT
rises to 7.5 V while the shorted LED string is disabled and
the device starts to step up or down to regulated voltage.
3. At least one LED string is floating or connected to VOUT.
VOUT rises to 9.0 V, the floating LED string is disabled, and
the device starts to step down to regulated voltage.
These functions work for each group independently. If all five
strings are utilized and EN13 is HIGH, VOUT rises to 7.5 V (case
1) and goes to the highest voltage required by LED1-3. Then
EN45 is raised and VOUT is stepped up again to 7.5 V and
regulates to highest voltage required by LED1-5.
If VOUT cannot reach 7.5 V within 1.2 ms after an enable cycle,
the device stays disabled and a new enable cycle is required.

A LED PWM signal of 100 Hz to 800 Hz can be applied to
EN13 and EN45 pins to control LED1-3 and LED4-5 light
intensity. The LED current is a linear function of the LED
PWM duty cycle from 100% down to 0.4%. The FAN5776
can be started by a PWM signal with a low duty cycle to
enable smooth startup. EN13 and EN45 pins can be
operated either synchronously or asynchronously, which
makes it possible to use the device to backlight two
separate displays at the same time.
Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO)
The Under-Voltage Lockout circuitry turns off all MOSFETs and
the device remains in a very low quiescent current state until
VIN has risen above the UVLO threshold.
Short-Circuit Protection (SCP)
The LED driver output current is limited to 0.5 µA or less when
a LED number pin voltage is below 1.0 V. This limit shall be
applied within one LED PWM cycle, or 10 ms, whichever
elapses first.
Over-Voltage Protection (OVP)
When the regulator is active, it monitors the VOUT pin. If the
VOUT voltage reaches 9.0 V, the regulator stops switching until
the capacitor at VOUT discharges below 8.5 V.
LED-Open Detection
If VOUT is detected above >9.0 V, the LED voltages are
scanned. All LED pins with voltage greater than VOUT - 0.5 V
are disabled. If all LED pins’ voltages exceed 8.5 V and VOUT is
greater than 9.0 V, device is disabled and a new startup cycle
is required.
Over-Current Protection (OCP)
The PWM converter is protected against overload through
cycle-by cycle current limit using a fixed internal limit.
Thermal Shutdown
When the die temperature exceeds 150°C, reset occurs and
remains in effect until the die cools to 125°C; at which time,
the circuit enters the normal soft-start sequence.

Applications
External Component Selection
Four external components are required to power the
FAN5776: an inductor between the VIN and SW pins, storage
capacitor at the output, storage capacitor at the input, and
reference resistor at the ISET pin.
The inductor’s minimum inductance requirement is 2.45 µH
with an ESR ≤ 300 m at 500 mA bias current at 1.8 MHz
frequency. A lower inductance drops device efficiency, while a
higher inductance reduces output ripple.
The minimum capacitance for the output capacitor is 4.8 µF at
5 V. Note that the ceramic capacitor value depends on the DC
bias voltage. Check the datasheet of the capacitor to make
sure the capacitor meets all specifications.
An input capacitor of 2.2 µF is recommended to improve
device’s transient behavior. Ensure the VIN supply voltage is
ripple-free for optimal device performance.
The reference resistor value is at least 20 k. The LED
current accuracy is defined by this resistor and a high-
precision resistor with low temperature dependency is
recommended. To guarantee the FAN5776 performance and
achieve ILED maximum current of 25 mA, 20 k, ±1% or
better resistor must be used.
PCB Layout Guidelines
A separate ground plane is recommended to minimize noise.
Place the FAN5776 device, inductor (L), CIN and COUT
capacitors, and their interconnections on the same side of the
board. High-current paths from the supply voltage to the SW
pin via the inductor, and GND pin to ground plane, are
recommended as low resistance paths. Keep the VOUT-pin-
to-COUT-capacitor path as short as possible to minimize the
inductance of the VOUT-pin-to-COUT for low VOUT ripple
voltage. Minimize the SW pin capacitance to realize optimum
system efficiency. Keep the ISET-pin-to-RSET-resistor path
away from noisy signals (SW pin) to minimize crosstalk from
the SW pin to the ISET pin.

Startup Power Minimization
The FAN5776 is optimized to minimize startup power when
all five LED driver outputs are connected to LEDs. Where
some of the LED strings are not used due to smaller LCD
display size, the startup power can still be minimized.
Connecting the unused LED driver outputs to ground (GND)
prevents LED current drop during startup and VOUT starts at
7.5 V, which reduces power consumption. Secondly, the
unused LED driver outputs connected to GND are disabled
at startup, minimizing the leakage current to GND. If left
open the unused LED strings cause VOUT to rise to the OVP
voltage of 9.0 V instead of starting at 7.5 V. The device
detects an open circuit due to the unused LED strings and
therefore goes up to 9.0 V, then adjusts to a VOUT that is
appropriate to power the LED strings.
The device is also working to specification when un-used LED
drivers are connected to the VOUT pin or left floating.
Combined LCD Backlight and Blinker
Figure 29. Schematic for Screen Backlight and Blinker
The FAN5776 can be utilized for different lighting
applications by configuring it to suit the design requirements.
Each LED driver output is independent such that each output
can support a different output voltage while being controlled
simultaneously.
Configuring the FAN5776 with a different number of LEDs for
each output results in a lower system efficiency because the
outputs with a single LED have a higher dropout voltage
compared to the outputs with two LEDs in series. The system
efficiency (η) is calculated as follows:

where:
Ii is the LED(i) channel current;
Vi is the LED(i) channel voltage;
IIN is the supply current (rms); and
VIN is the supply voltage (rms).
If all the LED strings are equivalent, I1 = I2 = … = I5 and V1 =
V2 = … = V5 and N channels are used (N = 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5),
the equation simplifies to:
𝜂 = 𝑁𝐼𝐿𝐸𝐷𝑉𝐿𝐸𝐷
𝐼𝐼𝑁𝑉𝐼𝑁
(3)
where:
ILED is the LED channel current (total output current is
N*ILED) and VLED is the LED channel voltage.
There are two LED output groups with separate control for
each group. EN13 and EN45 pins are the control/PWM for
LED1-3 and LED4-5 outputs, respectively.
Figure 29 illustrates an application where the FAN5776 uses
three LED outputs (LED1 to LED3) with two LEDs in series
per channel to backlight the main LCD display, while LED5
powers a single LED for blinking functionality. LED4 is unused
and connected to GND. Backlighting and PWM dimming of the
LEDs for the LCD display are controlled by EN13, while EN45
controls the blinking and dimming level for LED5.
Figure 30. Schematic for Flashlight Applications
To use FAN5776 as an LED flashlight driver, as shown in
Figure 30, connect VIN to the battery voltage and add a
single-pole switch (mechanical or electrical) from EN13 and/or
EN45 pins to VIN. Pull-down resistors on the EN pins disable
the device when the switch is in a non-conducting state.
