EVALUATION KIT AVAILABLE MAX16809 Integrated 16-Channel LED Driver with Switch-Mode Boost and SEPIC Controller General Description The MAX16809 is an integrated, high-efficiency white or RGB LED driver. It is designed for LCD backlighting and other LED lighting applications with multiple strings of LEDs. The MAX16809's current-mode PWM controller regulates the necessary voltage to the LED array. Depending on the input voltage and LED voltage range, this device can be used with boost or buck-boost (SEPIC) topologies. The MAX16809 LED driver includes 16 open-drain, constant-current-sinking LED driver outputs rated for 36V continuous operation. The LED current-control circuitry achieves 3% current matching among strings and enables paralleling of outputs for LED string currents higher than 55mA. The output-enable pin is used for simultaneous PWM dimming of all output channels. Dimming frequency range is 50Hz to 30kHz and dimming ratio is up to 5000:1. The constant-current outputs are single resistor programmable and the LED current can be adjusted up to 55mA per output channel. The MAX16809 operates either in stand-alone mode or with a microcontroller (C) using an industry-standard, 4-wire serial interface. The MAX16809 includes overtemperature protection, operates over the full -40C to +125C temperature range, and is available in a 5mm x 7mm thermally enhanced, 38-pin TQFN exposed pad package. 16 Constant-Current Output Channels (Up to 55mA Each) 3% Current Matching Among Outputs Paralleling Channels Allows Higher Current per LED String Outputs Rated for 36V Continuous Voltage Output-Enable Pin for PWM Dimming (Up to 30kHz) One Resistor Sets LED Current for All Channels Wide Dimming Ratio Up to 5000:1 Low Current-Sense Reference (300mV) for High Efficiency 8V to 26.5V Input Voltage or Higher with External Biasing Devices 4-Wire Serial Interface to Control Individual Output Channels Applications LCD White or RGB LED Backlighting: LCD TVs, Desktop, and Notebook Panels Industrial and Medical Displays Ambient, Mood, and Accent Lighting Ordering Information PART Typical Operating Circuits COUT Q1 CC1 OUT CS AGND LEDs R1 CC2 RCS CIN PIN-PACKAGE VOUT L 3V TO 5.5V TEMP RANGE MAX16809ATU+ -40C to +125C 38 TQFN-EP* +Denotes a lead(Pb)-free/RoHS-compliant package. *EP = Exposed pad.

Detailed Description The MAX16809 LED driver includes an internal switchmode controller that can be used as a boost or buck-boost (SEPIC) converter to generate the voltage necessary to drive the multiple strings of LEDs. This device incorporates an integrated low-side driver, a programmable oscillator (20kHz to 1MHz), an error amplifier, a low-voltage (300mV) current sense for higher efficiency, and a 5V reference to power up external circuitry (see Figures 1a and 1b). The MAX16809 LED driver includes a 4-wire serial interface and a current-mode PWM controller to generate the necessary voltage for driving 16 open-drain, constant-current-sinking output ports. The driver uses www.maximintegrated.com current-sensing feedback circuitry (not simple current mirrors) to ensure very small current variations over the full allowed range of output voltage (see the Typical Operating Characteristics). The 4-wire serial interface comprises a 16-bit shift register and a 16-bit transparent latch. The shift register is written through a clock input, CLK, and a data input, DIN, and the data propagates to a data output, DOUT. The data output allows multiple drivers to be cascaded and operated together. The contents of the 16-bit shift register are loaded into the transparent latch through a latch-enable input, LE. The latch is transparent to the shift register outputs when high and latches the current state on the falling edge of LE. Each driveoutput is an open-drain, con stant-current sink that should be connected to the Maxim Integrated 11 MAX16809 Integrated 16-Channel LED Driver with Switch-Mode Boost and SEPIC Controller cathode of a string of LEDs connected in series. The constant-current capability is up to 55mA per output, set for all 16 outputs by an external resistor, RSET. The device can operate in a stand-alone mode (see the Typical Operating Circuits). The number of channels can be expanded by using the MAX6970 and MAX6971 family in conjunction with the MAX16809.

OUT_ _ Driver Internal Diagram Switch-Mode Controller Current-Mode Control Loop The advantages of current-mode control over voltage-mode control are twofold. First, there is the feed-forward characteristic brought on by the controller's ability to adjust for variations in the input voltage on a cycle-bycycle basis. Second, the stability requirements of the current-mode controller are reduced to that of a single-pole system unlike the double pole in the voltage-mode control scheme. The MAX16809 uses a current-mode control loop where the output of the error amplifier is compared to the current-sense voltage (VCS). When the current-sense signal is lower than the inverting input of the CPWM comparator, the output of the comparator is low and the switch is turned on at each clock pulse. When the current-sense signal is higher than the inverting input of the CPWM comparator, the output is high and the switch is turned off. Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) The turn-on supply voltage for the MAX16809 is 8.4V (typ). Once VCC reaches 8.4V, the reference powers up. There is a 0.8V of hysteresis from the turn-on voltage to the UVLO threshold. Once VCC reaches 8.4V, the MAX16809 operates with VCC down to 7.6V. Once VCC goes below 7.6V (typ), the device is in UVLO. When in UVLO, the quiescent supply current into VCC falls back to 32A (typ), and OUT and REF are pulled low. MOSFET Driver OUT drives an external n-channel MOSFET and swings from AGND to VCC. Ensure that VCC remains below the absolute maximum VGS rating of the external MOSFET. OUT is a push-pull output with the on-resistance of the pMOS typically 3.5 and the on-resistance of the nMOS www.maximintegrated.com typically 4.5. The driver can source 2A and sink 1A typically. This allows for the MAX16809 to quickly turn on and off high gate-charge MOSFETs. Bypass VCC with one or more 0.1F ceramic capacitors to AGND, placed close to VCC. The average current sourced to drive the external MOSFET depends on the total gate charge (QG) and operating frequency of the converter. The power dissipation in the MAX16809 is a function of the average output drive current (IDRIVE). Use the following equation to calculate the power dissipation in the device due to IDRIVE: IDRIVE = (QG x fSW) PD = (IDRIVE + ICC) x VCC where ICC is the operating supply current. See the Typical Operating Characteristics for the operating supply current at a given frequency. Error Amplifier The MAX16809 includes an internal error amplifier. The inverting input is at FB and the noninverting input is internally connected to a 2.5V reference. Set the output voltage using a resistive divider between output of the converter VOUT, FB, and AGND. Use the following formula to set the output voltage: R1 VOUT= 1 + x VFB R2 where VFB = 2.5V. Oscillator The oscillator frequency is programmable using an external capacitor and a resistor at RTCT (see RT and CT in the Typical Operating Circuits). RT is connected from RTCT to the 5V reference (REF), and CT is connected from RTCT to AGND. REF charges CT through RT until its voltage reaches 2.8V. CT then discharges through an 8.3mA internal current sink until CT's voltage reaches 1.1V, at which time CT is allowed to charge through RT again. The oscillator's period is the sum of the charge and discharge times of CT. Calculate the charge time as follows: tC = 0.57 x RT x CT where tC is in seconds, RT in ohms (), and CT in Farads (F). The discharge time is then: tD = (RT x CT x 1000) / [(4.88 x RT) - (1.8 x 1000)] where tD is in seconds, RT in ohms (), and CT in Farads (F). Maxim Integrated 13 MAX16809 Integrated 16-Channel LED Driver with Switch-Mode Boost and SEPIC Controller The oscillator frequency is then: fOSC = RCS = 1 t + ( C tD) Reference Output REF is a 5V reference output that can source 20mA. Bypass REF to AGND with a 0.1F capacitor. Current Limit The MAX16809 includes a fast current-limit comparator to terminate the ON cycle during an overload or a fault condition. The current-sense resistor, RCS, connected between the source of the external MOSFET and AGND, sets the current limit. The CS input has a voltage trip level (V CS) of 0.3V. Use the following equation to calculate R CS: VIN C1 L1 VCS IP -P IP-P is the peak current that flows through the MOSFET. When the voltage produced by this current (through the current-sense resistor) exceeds the current-limit comparator threshold, the MOSFET driver (OUT) turns the switch off within 60ns. In most cases, a small RC filter is required to filter out the leading-edge spike on the sense waveform. Set the time constant of the RC filter at 50ns. Buck-Boost (SEPIC) Operation Figure 2 shows a buck-boost application circuit using the MAX16809 in a stand-alone mode of operation. SEPIC topology is necessary when the total forward voltage of the LEDs in a string is such that VOUT can be below or above VIN.

Buck-Boost (SEPIC) Operation www.maximintegrated.com Maxim Integrated 14 MAX16809 Integrated 16-Channel LED Driver with Switch-Mode Boost and SEPIC Controller LED Driver LE is the latch-enable input of the MAX16809 that transfers data from the 16-bit shift register to its 16-bit output latches (transparent latch). The data latches on the falling edge of LE (Figure 4). The fourth input (OE) provides output-enable control of the output drivers. When OE is driven high, the outputs (OUT0-OUT15) are forced to high impedance without altering the contents of the output latches. Driving OE low enables the outputs to fol low the state of the output latches. OE is independent of the serial interface operation. Data can be shifted into the serial-interface shift register and latched, regardless of the state of OE. DOUT is the serial-data output that shifts data out from the MAX16809's 16-bit shift register on the rising edge of CLK. Data at DIN propagates through the shift register and appears at DOUT 16 clock cycles later. Table 1 shows the 4-wire serial-interface truth table. 4-Wire Interface The MAX16809 also operates in a stand-alone mode (see the Typical Operating Circuits). For use with a microcontroller, the MAX16809 features a 4-wire serial interface using DIN, CLK, LE, OE inputs and DOUT as a data output. This interface is used to write the LED channels? data to the MAX16809. The serial-interface data word length is 16 bits, D0?D15. See Figure 3. The functions of the five interface pins are as follows: DIN is the serial-data input, and must be stable when it is sampled on the rising edge of CLK. Data is shifted in MSB first. This means that data bit D15 is clocked in first, followed by 15 more data bits, finishing with the LSB, D0. CLK is the serial-clock input that shifts data at DIN into the MAX16809's 16-bit shift register on its rising edge.

Overtemperature Cutoff The MAX16809 contains an internal temperature sensor that turns off all outputs when the die temperature exceeds +165C. The outputs are enabled again when the die temperature drops below +140C. Register contents are not affected, so when a driver is overdissipating, the external symptom is the load LEDs cycling on and off as the driver repeatedly overheats and cools, alternately turning itself off and then back on again. Maxim Integrated 16 MAX16809 Stand-Alone Operation In stand-alone operation, the MAX16809 does not use the 4-wire interface (see the Typical Operating Circuits). Connect DIN and LE to V+ and provide at least 16 external clock pulses to CLK to enable 16 output ports. This startup pulse sequence can be provided either using an external clock or the PWM signal. The external clock can also be generated using the signal at RTCT and an external comparator. LED Dimming PWM Dimming All the output channels can be dimmed simultaneously by applying a PWM signal (50Hz to 30kHz) to OE. This allows for a wide range of dimming up to a 5000:1 ratio. Each channel can be independently turned on and off using a 4-wire serial interface. The dimming is proportional to the PWM duty cycle. LED Current Amplitude Adjustment Using an analog or digital potentiometer as RSET allows for LED current amplitude adjustment and linear dimming.

Use a multilayer board whenever possible for better noise immunity. Protect sensitive analog grounds by using a star ground configuration. Minimize ground noise by connecting AGND, PGND, the input bypass-capacitor ground lead, and the output-filter ground lead to a single point (star ground configuration). Also, minimize trace lengths to reduce stray capacitance, trace resistance, and radiated noise. The trace between the output voltage-divider and the FB pin must be kept short, as well as the trace between AGND and PGND.
