MAX16813B  
Integrated, 4-Channel, High-Brightness  
LED Driver with High-Voltage DC-DC Controller  
and Battery Disconnect  
General Description  
Benefits and Features  
The MAX16813B high-efficiency, high-brightness LED  
(HB LED) driver provides four integrated LED current-  
sink channels. An integrated current-mode switching  
controller drives a DC-DC converter that provides the  
necessary voltage to multiple strings of HB LEDs. The  
device accepts a wide 4.75V to 40V input voltage range  
and withstands direct automotive load-dump events. The  
wide input range allows powering HB LEDs for small- to  
medium-sized LCD displays in automotive and general  
lighting applications.  
4-Channel Linear LED Current Sinks with Internal  
MOSFETs Independently Drive Multiple LED Strings  
• Full-Scale LED Current, Adjustable from 20mA  
to 150mA  
• Drives 1 to 4 LED Strings  
• 10000:1 PWM Dimming at 200Hz  
Flexible Current-Mode Architecture Supports a Wide  
Range of Applications While Minimizing Interference  
• Boost or SEPIC Current-Mode DC-DC Controller  
• 200kHz to 2MHz Programmable Switching  
Frequency  
An internal current-mode switching DC-DC controller  
supports boost or SEPIC topologies and operates in an  
adjustable frequency range between 200kHz and 2MHz.  
An integrated spread-spectrum mode helps reduce EMI.  
Current-mode control with programmable slope compen-  
sation provides fast response and simplifies loop compen-  
sation. An adaptive output-voltage control scheme mini-  
mizes power dissipation in the LED current-sink paths.  
The device has a separate p-channel drive (PGATE) pin  
that is used for output undervoltage protection. Whenever  
the output falls below the threshold, the external  
p-MOSFET is latched off, disconnecting the input source.  
Cycling the EN or the input supply is required to restart  
the converter. The external p-MOSFET is off when the EN  
pin is below 0.3V (typ). The shutdown current is 1µA (typ)  
at an input voltage of 12V.  
• External Switching-Frequency Synchronization  
• Spread-Spectrum Mode  
Protection Features Enhance Fault Detection and  
System Reliability  
• Output-to-Ground Undervoltage Protection  
• Open-Drain Fault-Indicator Output  
• Open-LED and LED-Short Detection and  
Protection  
• Overtemperature Protection  
Adaptive Output-Voltage Optimization to Minimize  
Power Dissipation  
• Less than 2µA Shutdown Current  
Applications  
Automotive Displays LED Backlights  
The device consists of four identical linear current-sink  
channels, adjustable from 20mA to 150mA with an  
accuracy of ±3% using a single external resistor. Multiple  
channels can be connected in parallel to achieve higher  
current per LED string. The device also features a unique  
pulsed dimming control through a logic input (DIM),  
with minimum pulse width as low as 500ns. Protection  
features include output overvoltage, open-LED detection  
and protection, programmable shorted-LED detection and  
protection, output undervoltage detection and protection,  
and overtemperature protection. The device operates  
over the -40°C to +125°C automotive temperature range.  
The MAX16813B is available in 20-pin (6.5mm x 4.4mm)  
TSSOP and 20-pin (4mm x 4mm) TQFN packages.

Figure 2. Typical Operating Circuit  
The device features a constant-frequency peak current-  
mode control with programmable slope compensation to  
control the duty cycle of the PWM controller. The high-  
current FET driver can provide up to 2A of current to the  
external n-MOSFET. The DC-DC converter implemented  
using the controller generates the required supply volt-  
age for the LED strings from a wide input supply range.  
Connect LED strings from the DC-DC converter output to  
the 4-channel constant-current sink drivers that control  
the current through the LED strings. A single resistor  
connected from the SETI input to ground adjusts the  
forward current through all 4 LED strings.  
Detailed Description  
The MAX16813B high-efficiency HB LED driver  
integrates all the necessary features to implement a  
high-performance backlight driver to power LEDs in  
small- to medium-sized displays for automotive as well as  
general applications. The device provides load-dump  
voltage protection up to 40V in automotive applications.  
The device incorporates two major blocks: a DC-DC  
controller with peak-current-mode control to implement a  
boost or a SEPIC-type switched-mode power supply and  
a 4-channel LED driver with 20mA to 150mA constant-  
current sink capability per channel. Figure 1 is the  
simplified functional diagram and Figure 2 shows a  
typical operating circuit.  
The device features adaptive voltage control that adjusts  
the converter output voltage depending on the forward

voltage of the LED strings. This feature minimizes the  
voltage drop across the constant-current sink drivers  
and reduces power dissipation in the device. The device  
includes an internal 5V LDO capable of powering addi-  
tional external circuitry. A logic input (EN) shuts down the  
device when pulled low. When the EN pin is pulled below  
0.3V (typ), the quiescent input current to the device is less  
than 1µA (typ).  
Current-Mode DC-DC Controller  
The peak current-mode controller allows boost or SEPIC-  
type converters to generate the required bias voltage  
for the LED strings. The switching frequency can be  
programmed over the 200kHz to 2MHz range using a  
resistor connected from RT to SGND. Programmable  
slope compensation is available to compensate for sub-  
harmonic oscillations that occur at above 50% duty cycles  
in continuous-conduction mode.  
The device provides a very wide (10000:1) PWM  
dimming range where a dimming pulse as narrow as  
500ns is possible at a 200Hz dimming frequency. This  
is made possible by a unique feature that detects short  
PWM dimming input pulses and adjusts the converter  
feedback accordingly.  
The external n-MOSFET is turned on at the beginning  
of every switching cycle. The inductor current ramps up  
linearly until turned off at the peak current level set by  
the feedback loop. The peak inductor current is sensed  
from the voltage across the current-sense resistor (R  
)
CS  
connected from the source of the external n-MOSFET  
to PGND. The device features leading-edge blanking  
to suppress the external n-MOSFET switching noise.  
A PWM comparator compares the current-sense volt-  
age plus the slope-compensation signal with the output  
of the transconductance error amplifier. The controller  
turns off the external n-MOSFET when the voltage at  
CS exceeds the error amplifier’s output voltage. This  
process repeats every switching cycle to achieve peak-  
current-mode control.  
Advanced features include detection and string  
disconnect for open-LED strings, partial or fully short-  
ed strings, and unused strings. Overvoltage protection  
clamps the converter output voltage to the programmed  
OVP threshold in the event of an open-LED condition.  
Shorted-LED string-detection and overvoltage-protection  
thresholds are programmable using the RSDT and OVP  
inputs, respectively. An open-drain FLT signal asserts  
to indicate open-LED, shorted-LED, output undervolt-  
age and overtemperature conditions. Disable individual  
current sink channels by connecting the correspond-  
ing OUT_ to LEDGND. In this case, FLT does not  
assert indicating an open-LED condition for the disabled  
channel. The device also features an overtempera-  
ture protection that shuts down the controller if the die  
temperature exceeds +165°C.  
Error Amplifier  
The internal error amplifier compares an internal feedback  
(FB) with an internal reference (REF) and regulates its  
output to adjust the inductor current. An internal mini-  
mum string detector measures the minimum-current sink  
voltage with respect to SGND out of the four constant-  
current sink channels. During normal operation, this mini-  
mum OUT_ voltage is regulated to 1V through feedback.  
The error amplifier takes 1V as the REF and the minimum  
OUT_ voltage as the FB input. The amplified error at  
the COMP output controls the inductor peak current to  
regulate the minimum OUT_ voltage at 1V. The resulting  
DC-DC converter output voltage is the highest LED string  
voltage plus 1V.  
There are two levels of output undervoltage protection in  
the device. The first output undervoltage protection is set  
at 180mV and this is enabled 43ms after power-up. If the  
OVP pin is lower than 180mV after 43ms, it turns off the  
converter and disconnects the p-MOSFET from the input.  
The second undervoltage threshold is activated after the  
soft-start period of the DC-DC converter. This is set at  
585mV. If the OVP pin is below 585mV after the soft-start  
period of the DC-DC converter, the converter is turned off  
and the p-MOSFET disconnects the input voltage from  
the LED driver. See the Startup Sequence section for  
more details.  
The converter stops switching when the LED strings are  
turned off during PWM dimming. The error amplifier is  
disconnected from the COMP output to retain the  
compensation capacitor charge. This allows the converter  
to settle to a steady-state level almost immediately when  
the LED strings are turned on again. This unique feature  
provides fast dimming response without having to use  
large output capacitors.

and Battery Disconnect  
If the PWM dimming on-pulse is less than or equal to 24  
switching cycles, the feedback controls the voltage on  
OVP so that the converter output voltage is regulated at  
95% of the OVP threshold. This mode ensures that narrow  
PWM dimming pulses are not affected by the response  
time of the converter. During this mode, the error amplifier  
remains connected to the COMP output continuously and  
the DC-DC converter continues switching.  
recycled. If there is no undervoltage, soft-start terminates  
when the minimum current sink voltage reaches 1V (typ)  
or when an internal 100ms timeout expires.  
After soft-start, the device detects open LED and discon-  
nects any strings with an open LED from the internal  
minimum OUT_ voltage detector. The converter output  
discharges to a level where the new minimum OUT_  
voltage is 1V and then control is handed over to the  
internal minimum OUT_ voltage detector.

Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)  
CC  
A second output undervoltage protection is enabled  
100ms after the converter is enabled. A fault is detected  
whenever the OVP pin falls below an internal threshold  
of 585mV (typ) and the power converter is latched off  
and PGATE goes high. Cycling the EN pin or the supply  
is required to start up again, once the fault condition has  
been removed.  
The device features two undervoltage lockouts that monitor  
the input voltage at IN and the output of the internal LDO  
regulator at V . The device turns on after both IN and

The device is enabled using the EN logic input pin. The  
EN input can handle voltages up to IN, providing flexibil-  
ity in terms of control signals/supplies. To shut down the  
device, drive the EN pin with a logic-low, which reduces  
current consumption to 1µA (typ). Connect the EN pin to

Once UVLO conditions are satisfied, the driver of the  
external p-MOSFET is turned on. A constant current  
of 350µA (typ) flows into the PGATE pin of the device  
for approximately 10ms (typ). The current flowing into  
resistor R7 and capacitor C7 (see Figure 2) pulls down  
the gate of the external p-MOSFET. This capacitor  
controls the turn-on time of the external p-MOSFET.

After the external p-MOSFET Q2 (Figure 2) is turned

and then disconnects any unused current sink

corresponding OUT_ to LEDGND. This avoids asserting  
the FLT output for the unused channels. The detection of  
unused channels takes approximately 0.7ms (typ).

LED string, use two or more of the current source outputs  
(OUT_) connected together to drive the string, as shown  
in Figure 3.  
Spread-Spectrum Mode  
The device includes a unique spread-spectrum mode  
(SSM) that reduces emission (EMI) at the switching  
frequency and its harmonics.  
LED Dimming Control  
The spread spectrum uses a pseudorandom dithering  
technique where the switching frequency is varied in the  
range of 93% of the programmed switching frequency, to  
100% of the programmed switching frequency set through  
the external resistor from RT to SGND.  
The device features LED brightness control using an  
external PWM signal applied to DIM. A logic-high signal  
on the DIM input enables all four LED current sources and  
a logic-low signal disables them.  
The duty cycle of the PWM signal applied to DIM also  
controls the DC-DC converter’s output voltage. If the  
turn-on duration of the PWM signal is less than 24 oscil-  
lator clock cycles (DIM pulse width increasing), the boost  
converter regulates its output based on feedback from  
the OVP input. While in this mode, the converter output  
voltage is regulated to 95% of the overvoltage threshold  
at the OVP pin. If the turn-on duration of the PWM signal  
is greater than or equal to 24 oscillator clock cycles (DIM  
pulse width increasing), the converter regulates its output  
so that the minimum voltage at OUT_ is 1V.  
Instead of a large amount of spectral energy present at  
multiples of the switching frequency, the total energy at  
the fundamental and each harmonic is spread over a  
wider bandwidth, reducing the energy peak.  
Spread spectrum is only disabled if external synchroniza-  
tion is used.  
5V LDO Regulator (V  
)
CC  
The internal LDO regulator converts the input voltage  
at IN to a 5V output voltage at V . The LDO regulator  
CC  
supplies up to 50mA current to provide power to internal  
At power-up, if the converter has completed the soft-start  
period of 100ms (typ) and the PWM signal at the DIM pin  
is still low, the device regulates the output voltage based  
on the feedback signal coming from the OVP pin. Once a  
PWM pulse width greater than 24 oscillator clock cycles  
is applied, the converter regulates its output so that the

PWM MOSFET Driver  
The NDRV output is a push-pull output with the  
on-resistance of the p-MOSFET (typically 1.1Ω) and  
the on-resistance of the n-MOSFET (typically 0.9Ω).  
The converter output voltage is regulated to 95% of the  
overvoltage threshold at the OVP pin whenever the PWM  
signal at the DIM pin is forced low for a duration longer  
than 38ms (typ).  
NDRV swings from PGND to V

Connect the OUT_ of all channels without LED con-  
nections to LEDGND before power-up to avoid OVP  
triggering at startup. When an open-LED overvoltage  
condition occurs, FLT is latched low. Open-LED detection  
is disabled when PWM dimming pulse width is less than  
24 switching clock cycles.  
Fault Protections  
Fault protections in the device include cycle-by-cycle  
current limiting using the PWM controller, DC-DC  
converter output overvoltage protection, open-LED detec-  
tion, short-LED detection and protection, output under-  
voltage protection, and overtemperature shutdown. An  
open-drain fault flag output (FLT) goes low when an open-  
LED string is detected, a shorted-LED string is detected,  
an output undervoltage, or during thermal shutdown. FLT  
is cleared when the fault condition is removed during  
thermal shutdown and shorted LEDs. FLT is latched low  
for an open-LED or output undervoltage condition, and  
can be reset by cycling power or toggling the EN pin. The  
thermal-shutdown threshold is +165°C and has +15°C  
hysteresis.  
Short-LED Detection  
The device checks for shorted LEDs at each rising edge  
of DIM. An LED short is detected at OUT_ if the following  
condition is met:

On power-up, the device detects and disconnects any  
unused current sink channels before entering the DC-DC  
converter soft-start. Disable the unused current sink  
channels by connecting the corresponding OUT_ to  
LEDGND. This avoids asserting the FLT output for the  
unused channels. After soft-start, the device detects  
open LED and disconnects any strings with an open  
LED from the internal minimum OUT_ voltage detector.  
This keeps the DC-DC converter output voltage within  
safe limits and maintains high efficiency. During normal  
operation, the DC-DC converter output regulation loop  
uses the minimum OUT_ voltage as the feedback input.

Applications Information  
DC-DC Converter  
Three different converter topologies are possible  
with the DC-DC controller in the device, which has  
the ground-referenced outputs necessary to use  
the constant-current sink drivers. If the LED string  
forward voltage is always more than the input  
supply voltage range, use the boost converter  
topology. If the LED string forward voltage falls within  
the supply voltage range, use the buck-boost converter  
topology. Buck-boost topology is implemented using

voltage then increases to the overvoltage-protection  
threshold set by the voltage-divider network connected  
between the converter output, OVP input, and SGND. The

Output Capacitor Selection  
Rectifier Diode Selection  
For all three converter topologies, the output capaci-  
tor supplies the load current when the main switch is  
on. The function of the output capacitor is to reduce the  
converter output ripple to acceptable levels. The entire  
output-voltage ripple appears across constant-current sink  
outputs because the LED string voltages are stable due to  
the constant current. For the device, limit the peak-to-peak  
output-voltage ripple to 200mV to get stable output current.  
Using a Schottky rectifier diode produces less forward drop  
and puts the least burden on the MOSFET during reverse  
recovery. A diode with considerable reverse-recovery time  
increases the MOSFET switching loss. Select a Schottky  
diode with a voltage rating 20% higher than the maximum  
boost-converter output voltage and current rating greater  
than that calculated in the following equation:

relationship between the RSDT voltage and the recom-  
mended maximum OUT_ voltage, assuming all the active  
channels are at the same voltage level.  
Setting RSDT Pin Voltage  
As described in the Short-LED Detection section, the  
actual LED short detection threshold depends on the  
RSDT pin voltage and the minimum current sink (OUT_)  
voltage.  
With higher OUT_ voltages, an erroneous LED short  
condition can sometimes be detected when the converter  
output voltage is transitioning from regulation based on  
the OVP input to regulation based on the OUT_ voltages.  
An optimum choice of RSDT voltage should take into  
account the maximum voltage at the OUT_ pins when  
the converter is regulating its output voltage based on the  
OVP pin.  
The plot shown here can be used when selecting the OVP  
resistor divider and the RSDT voltage. It is recommended  
that the RSDT voltage be chosen to be below the curve.  
In general, performance is improved when the OVP resis-  
tor divider is selected to set a maximum output voltage  
close to the maximum LED string voltage needed in the  
application.  
In particular, it is recommended that the OVP resistor  
divider be selected to set the output voltage of the con-  
verter (when using the OVP input) so that the voltage on  
the OUT_ pins does not exceed a threshold that depends  
on the RSDT setting. The plot in Figure 6 shows the

33ms, the p-MOSFET has to sustain the highest input  
voltage and the programmed current limit.  
External Disconnect MOSFET Selection  
An external p-MOSFET can be used to disconnect the  
boost output from the battery in the event of an output  
overload or short condition. In the case of the SEPIC or  
buck-boost, this protection is not necessary and in those  
cases there is no need for the p-MOSFET. Connect the  
PGATE pin to ground in the case of the SEPIC and buck-  
boost. If it is necessary to have an output short protection  
for the boost even at power-up, then the current through  
the p-MOSFET (Figure 7) has to be sensed. Once the  
current-sense voltage exceeds a certain threshold, it  
should limit the input current to the programmed threshold.  
This threshold should be set at a sufficiently high level so  
that it never trips at startup or under normal operating con-  
ditions. Check the safe operating area of the p-MOSFET  
so that the current-limit trip threshold and the voltage on  
the MOSFET do not exceed the limits of the SOA curve of  
the p-MOSFET at the highest operating temperature. The  
current-limit protection circuit is active for 33ms before  
the short trip threshold is triggered in the device, discon-  
necting the p-MOSFET from the input source. During the

During normal operation, the feedback control loop  
regulates the minimum OUT_ voltage to 1V when LED  
string currents are enabled during PWM dimming. When  
LED currents are off during PWM dimming, the control  
loop turns off the converter and stores the steady-state  
condition in the form of capacitor voltages, mainly the  
output filter capacitor voltage and compensation capacitor  
voltage. When the PWM dimming pulses are less than 24  
switching clock cycles, the feedback loop regulates the  
converter output voltage to 95% of the OVP threshold.

when there is a transition from low dim to normal dim  
made. If the closed-loop phase margin is less than 45°,  
the output voltage might ring when the transition from LO  
dim to normal dim occurs. This can cause flicker of the  
LEDs and this flicker needs to be prevented by increasing  
the phase margin. If the flicker is still present even when  
the phase margin exceeds 60°, it may be necessary to  
increase the output capacitor.

power condition, the signal on the CS pin should be  
close to the current-limit voltage on the CS pin.

Loop-Stability Verification

To verify the loop stability, it is a good idea to use a loop  
analyzer to study the closed-loop gain and phase with  
frequency. To check the closed-loop gain, connect the  
test and reference probes of the analyzer, as shown in  
Figure 8.

STRINGS  
Check the voltages on the OUT_ pins with dimming at  
100% duty cycle. Then insert a diode and the injection  
resistor in the string where the OUT_ voltage is closest  
to 1V. The added diode in series with the LED string  
keeps the string where the injection resistor is added as  
the string that controls the output voltage. Use an injec-  
tion transformer to insert the injection voltage from test to  
ref. The loop analyzer can plot the gain and phase of the

0db. The phase margin at that frequency should exceed  
45° for guaranteed stable operation. The optimum phase  
margin should exceed 60°. An example of the closed-loop  
gain and phase margin on a MAX16813B boost is shown  
in Figure 9. This measurement was done on the typical  
application shown in Figure 2 at an input voltage of 12V.

3) There are two loops in the power circuit that carry  
high-frequency switching currents. One loop is when  
the MOSFET is on (from the input filter capacitor  
positive terminal, through the inductor, the internal  
MOSFET, and the current-sense resistor, to the input  
capacitor negative terminal). The other loop is when  
the MOSFET is off (from the input capacitor positive  
terminal, through the inductor, the rectifier diode,  
output filter capacitor, to the input capacitor nega-  
tive terminal). Analyze these two loops and make the  
loop areas as small as possible. Wherever possible,  
have a return path on the power ground plane for the  
switching currents on the top-layer copper traces, or  
through power components. This reduces the loop  
area considerably and provides a low-inductance path  
for the switching currents. Reducing the loop area also  
reduces radiation during switching.

LED driver circuits based on the MAX16813B device use  
a high-frequency switching converter to generate the  
voltage for LED strings. Take proper care while laying  
out the circuit to ensure proper operation. The switching-  
converter part of the circuit has nodes with very fast  
voltage changes that could lead to undesirable effects  
on the sensitive parts of the circuit. Follow the guidelines  
below to reduce noise as much as possible:

ably next to the top layer. Use the analog ground plane  
to cover the entire area under critical signal compo-  
nents for the power converter.
