LM27966  
White LED Driver with I2C Compatible Interface  
General Description  
Features  
n 91% Peak LED Drive Efficiency  
n No Inductor Required  
The LM27966 is a highly integrated charge-pump-based  
display LED driver. The device can drive up to 6 LEDs in  
parallel with a total output current of 180mA. Regulated  
internal current sources deliver excellent current and bright-  
ness matching in all LEDs.  
n 0.3% Current Matching  
n Drives 6 LEDs with up to 30mA per LED  
n 180mA of total driver current  
n I2C Compatible Brightness Control Interface  
n Adaptive 1x- 3/2x Charge Pump  
n Resistor-Programmable Current Settings  
n External Chip RESET Pin (RESET)  
n Extended Li-Ion Input: 2.7V to 5.5V  
The LED driver current sources are split into two indepen-  
dently controlled groups. The primary group, which can be  
configured with 4 or 5 LEDs, can be used to backlight the  
main phone display. An additional, independently controlled  
led driver is provided for driving an indicator or other general  
purpose LED function. The LM27966 has an I2C compatible  
interface that allows the user to independently control the  
brightness on each bank of LEDs.  
n Small low profile industry standard leadless package,  
LLP 24 : (4mm x 4mm x 0.8mm)  
The device provides excellent efficiency without the use of  
an inductor by operating the charge pump in a gain of 3/2, or  
in Pass-Mode. The proper gain for maintaining current regu-  
lation is chosen, based on LED forward voltage, so that  
efficiency is maximized over the input voltage range.  
Applications  
n Mobile Phone Display Lighting  
n PDAs Backlighting  
n General LED Lighting  
The LM27966 is available in National’s small 24-pin Lead-  
less Leadframe Package (LLP-24).

Circuit Description  
OVERVIEW  
I2C Compatible Interface  
The LM27966 is a white LED driver system based upon an  
adaptive 1.5x/1x CMOS charge pump capable of supplying  
up to 180mA of total output current. With two controlled  
banks of constant current sinks (Main and AUX), the  
LM27966 is an ideal solution for platforms requiring a single  
white LED driver for main display and indicator lighting. The  
tightly matched current sinks ensure uniform brightness from  
the LEDs across the entire small-format display.  
DATA VALIDITY  
The data on SDIO line must be stable during the HIGH  
period of the clock signal (SCL). In other words, state of the  
data line can only be changed when CLK is LOW.  
Each LED is configured in a common anode configuration,  
with the peak drive current being programmed through the  
use of an external RSET resistor. An I2C compatible interface  
is used to enable the device and vary the brightness within  
the individual current sink banks. For Main Display LEDs, 32  
levels of brightness control are available. The brightness  
control is achieved through a mix of analog and pulse width  
modulated (PWM) methods. DAUX has 4 analog brightness  
levels available.  
20190125  
FIGURE 1. Data Validity Diagram  
CIRCUIT COMPONENTS  
Charge Pump  
A pull-up resistor between VIO and SDIO must be greater  
than [ (VIO-VOL) / 3mA] to meet the VOL requirement on  
SDIO. Using a larger pull-up resistor results in lower switch-  
ing current with slower edges, while using a smaller pull-up  
results in higher switching currents with faster edges.  
The input to the 1.5x/1x charge pump is connected to the VIN  
pin, and the regulated output of the charge pump is con-  
nected to the VOUT pin. The recommended input voltage  
range of the LM27966 is 3.0V to 5.5V. The device’s regu-  
lated charge pump has both open loop and closed loop  
modes of operation. When the device is in open loop, the  
voltage at VOUT is equal to the gain times the voltage at the  
input. When the device is in closed loop, the voltage at VOUT  
is regulated to 4.6V (typ.). The charge pump gain transitions  
are actively selected to maintain regulation based on LED  
forward voltage and load requirements. This allows the  
charge pump to stay in the most efficient gain (1x) over as  
much of the input voltage range as possible, reducing the  
power consumed from the battery.  
START AND STOP CONDITIONS  
START and STOP conditions classify the beginning and the  
end of the I2C session. A START condition is defined as  
SDIO signal transitioning from HIGH to LOW while SCL line  
is HIGH. A STOP condition is defined as the SDIO transition-  
ing from LOW to HIGH while SCL is HIGH. The I2C master  
always generates START and STOP conditions. The I2C bus  
is considered to be busy after a START condition and free  
after a STOP condition. During data transmission, the I2C  
master can generate repeated START conditions. First  
START and repeated START conditions are equivalent,  
function-wise. The data on SDIO line must be stable during  
the HIGH period of the clock signal (SCL). In other words,  
the state of the data line can only be changed when CLK is  
LOW.  
LED Forward Voltage Monitoring  
The LM27966 has the ability to switch converter gains (1x or  
1.5x) based on the forward voltage of the LED load. This  
ability to switch gains maximizes efficiency for a given load.  
Forward voltage monitoring occurs on all diode pins within  
Main Display. At higher input voltages, the LM27966 will  
operate in pass mode, allowing the POUT voltage to track the  
input voltage. As the input voltage drops, the voltage on the  
DX pins will also drop (VDX = VPOUT – VLEDx). Once any of  
the active Dx pins reaches a voltage approximately equal to  
175mV, the charge pump will then switch to the gain of 1.5x.  
This switchover ensures that the current through the LEDs  
never becomes pinched off due to a lack of headroom on the  
current sources.

Diode pin D5 can have the diode sensing circuity disabled  
through the general purpose register if D5 is not going to be  
used.

TRANSFERING DATA  
DAUX is not a monitored LED current sink.  
Every byte put on the SDIO line must be eight bits long, with  
the most significant bit (MSB) being transferred first. Each  
byte of data has to be followed by an acknowledge bit. The  
acknowledge related clock pulse is generated by the master.  
The master releases the SDIO line (HIGH) during the ac-  
knowledge clock pulse. The LM27966 pulls down the SDIO  
RESET Pin  
The LM27965 has a hardware reset pin (RESET) that allows  
the device to be disabled by an external controller without  
requiring an I2C write command. Under normal operation,  
the RESET pin should be held high (logic ’1’) to prevent an  
unwanted reset. When the RESET is driven low (logic ’0’), all  
internal control registers reset to the default states and the

address is 36h. For the eighth bit, a “0” indicates a WRITE

register to which the data will be written. The third byte  
contains data to write to the selected register.

The LM27966 generates an acknowledge after each byte

RSET = 200 x (1.25V / IDx

Once the desired RSET value has been chosen, the  
LM27966 has the ability to internally dim the LEDs using a  
mix of Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) and analog current  
scaling. The PWM duty cycle is set through the I2C compat-  
ible interface. LEDs connected to Main Display current sinks  
(Dx) can be dimmed to 32 different levels/duty-cycles. The  
internal PWM frequency for Main Display is a fixed 20kHz.  
DAUX has 4 analog current levels.  
Please refer to the I2C Compatible Interface section of this  
datasheet for detailed instructions on how to adjust the  
brightness control registers.  
Application Information  
SETTING LED CURRENT  
The current through the LEDs connected to Dx can be set to  
a desired level simply by connecting an appropriately sized  
resistor (RSET) between the ISET pin of the LM27966 and  
GND. The Dx currents are proportional to the current that  
flows out of the ISET pin and are a factor of 200 times greater  
than the ISET current. The feedback loops of the internal  
amplifiers set the voltage of the ISET pin to 1.25V (typ.). The  
statements above are simplified in the equations below:

Application Information (Continued)  
MAXIMUM OUTPUT CURRENT, MAXIMUM LED  
VOLTAGE, MINIMUM INPUT VOLTAGE  
Outputs D1-5 may be connected together to drive one or two  
LEDs at higher currents. In such a configuration, all five  
parallel current sinks (Main Display) of equal value can drive  
a single LED. The LED current programmed for Main Display  
should be chosen so that the current through each of the  
outputs is programmed to 20% of the total desired LED  
current. For example, if 60mA is the desired drive current for  
a single LED, RSET should be selected such that the current  
through each of the current sink inputs is 12mA.  
The LM27966 can drive 6 LEDs at 30mA each (Main Display  
and DAUX) from an input voltage as low as 3.2V, so long as  
the LEDs have a forward voltage of 3.6V or less (room  
temperature).  
The statement above is a simple example of the LED drive  
capabilities of the LM27966. The statement contains the key  
application parameters that are required to validate an LED-  
drive design using the LM27966: LED current (ILEDx), num-  
ber of active LEDs (Nx), LED forward voltage (VLED), and  
minimum input voltage (VIN-MIN).  
Connecting the outputs in parallel does not affect internal  
operation of the LM27966 and has no impact on the Electri-  
cal Characteristics and limits previously presented. The  
available diode output current, maximum diode voltage, and  
all other specifications provided in the Electrical Character-  
istics table apply to this parallel output configuration, just as  
they do to the standard 5-LED application circuit.  
The equation below can be used to estimate the maximum  
output current capability of the LM27966:  
ILED_MAX = [(1.5 x VIN) - VLED - (IDAUX x ROUT)] /  
[(NMAIN x ROUT) + kHR] (eq. 1)  
Main Display utilizes LED forward voltage sensing circuitry  
on each Dxx pin to optimize the charge-pump gain for maxi-  
mum efficiency. Due to the nature of the sensing circuitry, it  
is not recommended to leave any of the Dx (D1-D4) pins  
unused if either diode bank is going to be used during normal  
operation. Leaving Dx pins unconnected will force the  
charge-pump into 1.5x mode over the entire VIN range ne-  
gating any efficiency gain that could be achieve by switching  
to 1x mode at higher input voltages.  
ILED_MAX = [(1.5 x VIN ) - VLED - (IDAUX x 2.75)] /  
[(NMAIN x 2.75) + kHR  
]
IDAUX is the additional current that could be delivered to the  
AUX LED.  
ROUT – Output resistance. This parameter models the inter-  
nal losses of the charge pump that result in voltage droop at  
the pump output POUT. Since the magnitude of the voltage  
droop is proportional to the total output current of the charge  
pump, the loss parameter is modeled as a resistance. The  
If D5 is not used, it is recommended that the driver pin be  
grounded and the general purpose register bit EN-D5 be set  
to 0 to ensure proper gain transitions.  
output resistance of the LM27966 is typically 2.75(VIN  
3.6V, TA = 25˚C). In equation form:  
=
Care must be taken when selecting the proper RSET value.  
The current on any Dx pin must not exceed the maximum  
current rating for any given current sink pin.  
VPOUT = (1.5 x VIN) – [NMAINx ILED-MAIN x ROUT

(eq.  
kHR – Headroom constant. This parameter models the mini-  
mum voltage required to be present across the current  
sources for them to regulate properly. This minimum voltage  
is proportional to the programmed LED current, so the con-  
stant has units of mV/mA. The typical kHR of the LM27966 is  
8mV/mA. In equation form:  
POWER EFFICIENCY  
The efficiency of LED drivers is commonly taken to be the  
ratio of power consumed by the LEDs (PLED) to the power  
drawn at the input of the part (PIN). With a 1.5x/1x charge  
pump, the input current is equal to the charge pump gain  
times the output current (total LED current). The efficiency of  
the LM27966 can be predicted as follows:  
>
(VPOUT – VLEDx  
)
kHR x ILEDx  
(eq. 3)  
Typical Headroom Constant Value  
kHR = 8mV/mA  
PLEDTOTAL = (VLED-MAIN x NMAIN x ILED-MAIN) +  
(VLED-AUX x ILED-AUX  
)
The "ILED-MAX" equation (eq. 1) is obtained from combining  
the ROUT equation (eq. 2) with the kHR equation (eq. 3) and  
solving for ILEDx. Maximum LED current is highly dependent  
on minimum input voltage and LED forward voltage. Output  
current capability can be increased by raising the minimum  
input voltage of the application, or by selecting an LED with  
a lower forward voltage. Excessive power dissipation may  
also limit output current capability of an application.  
PIN = VIN x IIN  
PIN = VIN x (GAIN x ILEDTOTAL + IQ)  
E = (PLEDTOTAL ÷ PIN  
)
It is also worth noting that efficiency as defined here is in part  
dependent on LED voltage. Variation in LED voltage does  
not affect power consumed by the circuit and typically does  
not relate to the brightness of the LED. For an advanced  
analysis, it is recommended that power consumed by the  
circuit (VIN x IIN) be evaluated rather than power efficiency.  
Total Output Current Capability  
The maximum output current that can be drawn from the  
LM27966 is 180mA. Each driver bank has a maximum allot-  
ted current per Dx sink that must not be exceeded.  
POWER DISSIPATION  
The power dissipation (PDISS) and junction temperature (TJ)  
can be approximated with the equations below. PIN is the  
power generated by the 1.5x/1x charge pump, PLED is the  
power consumed by the LEDs, TA is the ambient tempera-  
ture, and θJA is the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance  
for the LLP-24 package. VIN is the input voltage to the  
LM27966, VLED is the nominal LED forward voltage, N is the  
number of LEDs and ILED is the programmed LED current.  
MAXIMUM Dx CURRENT  
30mA  
The 180mA load can be distributed in many different con-  
figurations. Special care must be taken when running the  
LM27966 at the maximum output current to ensure proper  
functionality.  
PDISS = PIN - PLEDA  
PDISS= (GAIN x VIN x ILEDA ) - (VLEDA x NA x ILEDA) -  
(VLED x IDAUX  
)

LM27966. These capacitors have tight capacitance toler-  
ance (as good as 10%) and hold their value over tempera-  
ture (X7R: 15% over -55˚C to 125˚C; X5R: 15% over  
-55˚C to 85˚C).  
Application Information (Continued)  
TJ = TA + (PDISS x θJA  
)
The junction temperature rating takes precedence over the  
ambient temperature rating. The LM27966 may be operated  
outside the ambient temperature rating, so long as the junc-  
tion temperature of the device does not exceed the maxi-  
mum operating rating of 100˚C. The maximum ambient tem-  
perature rating must be derated in applications where high  
power dissipation and/or poor thermal resistance causes the  
junction temperature to exceed 100˚C.  
Capacitors with Y5V or Z5U temperature characteristic are  
generally not recommended for use with the LM27966. Ca-  
pacitors with these temperature characteristics typically  
have wide capacitance tolerance (+80%, -20%) and vary  
significantly over temperature (Y5V: +22%, -82% over -30˚C  
to +85˚C range; Z5U: +22%, -56% over +10˚C to +85˚C  
range). Under some conditions, a nominal 1µF Y5V or Z5U  
capacitor could have a capacitance of only 0.1µF. Such  
detrimental deviation is likely to cause Y5V and Z5U capaci-  
tors to fail to meet the minimum capacitance requirements of  
the LM27966.  
THERMAL PROTECTION  
Internal thermal protection circuitry disables the LM27966  
when the junction temperature exceeds 170˚C (typ.). This  
feature protects the device from being damaged by high die  
temperatures that might otherwise result from excessive  
power dissipation. The device will recover and operate nor-  
mally when the junction temperature falls below 165˚C (typ.).  
It is important that the board layout provide good thermal  
conduction to keep the junction temperature within the speci-  
fied operating ratings.  
The minimum voltage rating acceptable for all capacitors is  
6.3V. The recommended voltage rating for the input and  
output capacitors is 10V to account for DC bias capacitance  
losses.  
PCB LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS  
The LLP is a leadframe based Chip Scale Package (CSP)  
with very good thermal properties. This package has an  
exposed DAP (die attach pad) at the center of the package  
measuring 2.6mm x 2.5mm. The main advantage of this  
exposed DAP is to offer lower thermal resistance when it is  
soldered to the thermal land on the PCB. For PCB layout,  
National highly recommends a 1:1 ratio between the pack-  
age and the PCB thermal land. To further enhance thermal  
conductivity, the PCB thermal land may include vias to a  
ground plane. For more detailed instructions on mounting  
LLP packages, please refer to National Semiconductor Ap-  
plication Note AN-1187.  
CAPACITOR SELECTION  
The LM27966 requires 4 external capacitors for proper op-  
eration (C1 = C2 = 1µF, CIN = COUT = 1µF). Surface-mount  
multi-layer ceramic capacitors are recommended. These ca-  
pacitors are small, inexpensive and have very low equivalent  
<
series resistance (ESR 20mtyp.). Tantalum capacitors,  
OS-CON capacitors, and aluminum electrolytic capacitors  
are not recommended for use with the LM27966 due to their  
high ESR, as compared to ceramic capacitors.  
For most applications, ceramic capacitors with X7R or X5R  
temperature characteristic are preferred for use with the
