PIN FUNCTION
VIN is the supply pin for the charge pump. A small
1μF ceramic bypass capacitor is required between the
VIN pin and ground near the device. The operating
input voltage range is from 2.5V to 5.5V. Whenever
the input supply falls below the under-voltage
threshold (1.8V), all the LED channels are disabled
and the device enters shutdown mode.
C1+, C1- are connected to each side of the ceramic
bucket capacitor C1.
C2+, C2- are connected to each side of the ceramic
bucket capacitor C2.
LED1, LED2, LED3 provide the internal regulated
current sources for each of the LED cathodes. These
pins enter high-impedance zero current state when-
ever the device is placed in shutdown mode.
EN/DIM is the enable and one wire dimming input for
all LED channels. Levels of logic high and logic low
are set at 1.3V and 0.4V respectively. When EN/DIM
is initially taken high, the device becomes enabled
and all LED currents are set to the full scale according
to the resistor RSET. To place the device into “zero
current” shutdown mode, the EN/DIM pin must be
held low for at least 1.5ms.
TAB is the exposed pad underneath the package. For
best thermal performance, the tab should be soldered
to the PCB and connected to the ground plane.
RSET is connected to the resistor (RSET) to set the full
scale current for the LEDs. The voltage at this pin
regulated to 0.6V. The ground side of the external
resistor should be star connected back to the GND of
the PCB. In shutdown mode, RSET beomes high
impedance.
VOUT is the charge pump output that is connected to
the LED anodes. A small 1μF ceramic bypass
capacitor is required between the VOUT pin and
ground near the device.
GND is the ground reference for the charge pump. The
pin must be connected to the ground plane on the PCB.
