LM3500  
Synchronous Step-up DC/DC Converter for White LED  
Applications  
General Description  
Features  
The LM3500 is a fixed-frequency step-up DC/DC converter  
that is ideal for driving white LEDs for display backlighting and  
other lighting functions. With fully intergrated synchronous  
switching (no external schottky diode required) and a low  
feedback voltage (500mV), power efficiency of the LM3500  
circuit has been optimized for lighting applications in wireless  
phones and other portable products (single cell Li-Ion or 3-  
cell NiMH battery supplies). The LM3500 operates with a fixed  
1MHz switching frequency. When used with ceramic input  
and output capacitors, the LM3500 provides a small, low-  
noise, low-cost solution.  
Synchronous rectification, high efficiency and no external  
schottky diode required  
Uses small surface mount components  
Can drive 2-5 white LEDs in series  
(may function with more low-VF LEDs)  
2.7V to 7V input range  
Internal output over-voltage protection (OVP) circuitry,  
with no external zener diode required  
LM3500-16: 15.5V OVP; LM3500-21: 20.5V OVP.  
True shutdown isolation  
Input undervoltage lockout  
Two LM3500 options are available with different output volt-  
age capabilities. The LM3500-21 has a maximum output  
voltage of 21V and is typically suited for driving 4 or 5 white  
LEDs in series. The LM3500-16 has a maximum output volt-  
age of 16V and is typically suited for driving 3 or 4 white LEDs  
in series (maximum number of series LEDs dependent on  
LED forward voltage). If the primary white LED network  
should be disconnected, the LM3500 uses internal protection  
circuitry on the output to prevent a destructive over-voltage  
event.  
Requires only small ceramic capacitors at the input and  
output

Applications  
LCD Bias Supplies  
A single external resistor is used to set the maximum LED  
current in LED-drive applications. The LED current can easily  
be adjusted using a pulse width modulated (PWM) signal on  
the shutdown pin. In shutdown, the LM3500 completely dis-  
connects the input from output, creating total isolation and  
preventing any leakage currents from trickling into the LEDs.

Note 1: Absolute maximum ratings are limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings are conditions for which the device is intended  
to be functional, but device parameter specifications may not be guaranteed. For guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics.  
Note 2: This condition applies if VIN < VOUT. If VIN > VOUT, a voltage greater than VIN + 0.3V should not be applied to the VOUT or VSW pins.  
Note 3: For more detailed soldering information and specifications, please refer to National Semiconductor Application Note 1112: Micro SMD Wafer Level Chip  
Scale Package (AN-1112), available at www.national.com.  
Note 4: The human body model is a 100 pF capacitor discharged through a 1.5 kresistor into each pin. The machine model is a 200 pF capacitor discharged  
directly into each pin.  
Note 5: In applications where high power dissipation and/or poor package thermal resistance is present, the maximum ambient temperature may have to be  
derated. Maximum ambient temperature (TA-MAX) is dependent on the maximum operating junction temperature (TJ-MAX-OP = 125ºC), the maximum power  
dissipation of the device in the application (PD-MAX), and the junction-to ambient thermal resistance of the part/package in the application (θJA), as given by the  
following equation: TA-MAX = TJ-MAX-OP – (θJA × PD-MAX).  
Note 6: Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θJA) is highly application and board-layout dependent. The 75ºC/W figure provided was measured on a 4-layer  
test board conforming to JEDEC standards. In applications where high maximum power dissipation exists, special care must be paid to thermal dissipation issues  
when designing the board layout.  
Note 7: All limits guaranteed at room temperature (standard typeface) and at temperature extremes (bold typeface). All room temperature limits are production  
tested, guaranteed through statistical analysis or guaranteed by design. All limits at temperature extremes are guaranteed via correlation using standard Statistical  
Quality Control (SQC) methods. All limits are used to calculate Average Outgoing Quality Level (AOQL).  
Note 8: Typical numbers are at 25°C and represent the most likely norm.  
Note 9: Feedback current flows out of the pin.  
Note 10: Current flows into the pin.

Operation  
20065704  
FIGURE 1. LM3500 Block Diagram  
The LM3500 utilizes a synchronous Current Mode PWM con-  
trol scheme to regulate the feedback voltage over almost all  
load conditions. The DC/DC controller acts as a controlled  
current source ideal for white LED applications. The LM3500  
is internally compensated preventing the use of any external  
compensation components providing a compact overall solu-  
tion. The operation can best be understood referring to the  
block diagram in Figure 1. At the start of each cycle, the os-  
cillator sets the driver logic and turns on the NMOS power  
device conducting current through the inductor and turns off  
the PMOS power device isolating the output from the VSW pin.  
The LED current is supplied by the output capacitor when the  
NMOS power device is active. During this cycle, the output  
voltage of the EAMP controls the current through the inductor.  
This voltage will increase for larger loads and decrease for  
smaller loads limiting the peak current in the inductor mini-  
mizing EMI radiation. The EAMP voltage is compared with a  
voltage ramp and the sensed switch voltage. Once this volt-  
age reaches the EAMP output voltage, the PWM COMP will  
then reset the logic turning off the NMOS power device and  
turning on the PMOS power device. The inductor current then  
flows through the PMOS power device to the white LED load  
and output capacitor. The inductor current recharges the out-  
put capacitor and supplies the current for the white LED  
branches. The oscillator then sets the driver logic again re-  
peating the process. The Duty Limit Comp is always opera-  
tional preventing the NMOS power switch from being on more  
than one cycle and conducting large amounts of current.  
The LM3500 has dedicated protection circuitry active during  
normal operation to protect the IC and the external compo-  
nents. The Thermal Shutdown circuitry turns off both the  
NMOS and PMOS power devices when the die temperature  
reaches excessive levels. The LM3500 has a UVP Comp that  
disables both the NMOS and PMOS power devices when  
battery voltages are too low preventing an on state of the  
power devices which could conduct large amounts of current.  
The OVP Comp prevents the output voltage from increasing  
beyond 15.5V(LM3500-16) and 20.5V(LM3500-21) when the  
primary white LED network is removed or if there is an LED  
failure, allowing the use of small (16V for LM3500-16 and 25V  
for LM3500-21) ceramic capacitors at the output. This com-  
parator has hysteresis that will regulate the output voltage  
between 15.5V and 14.6V typically for the LM3500-16, and  
between 20.5V and 19.5V for the LM3500-21. The LM3500  
features a shutdown mode that reduces the supply current to  
0.1uA and isolates the input and output of the converter.

limited to 20.5V (typ.). There is a 1V hysteresis associated  
with this circuitry which will cause the output to fluctuate be-  
tween 20.5V and 19.5V (typ.) if the primary network is dis-  
connected. In the event that the network is reconnected  
regulation will begin at the appropriate output voltage. The  
20.5V limit allows the use of 25V 1µF ceramic output capac-  
itors.  
Application Information  
ADJUSTING LED CURRENT  
The White LED current is set using the following equation:  
RELIABILITY AND THERMAL SHUTDOWN  
The LED current can be controlled using a PWM signal on the  
SHDN pin with frequencies in the range of 100Hz (greater  
than visible frequency spectrum) to 1kHz. For controlling LED  
currents down to the µA levels, it is best to use a PWM signal  
frequency between 200-500Hz. The LM3500 LED current can  
be controlled with PWM signal frequencies above 1kHz but  
the controllable current decreases with higher frequency. The  
maximum LED current would be achieved using the equation  
above with 100% duty cycle, ie. the SHDN pin always high.  
The maximum continuous pin current for the 8 pin thin micro  
SMD package is 535mA. When driving the device near its  
power output limits the VSW pin can see a higher DC current  
than 535mA (see INDUCTOR SELECTION section for aver-  
age switch current). To preserve the long term reliability of the  
device the average switch current should not exceed 535mA.  
The LM3500 has an internal thermal shutdown function to  
protect the die from excessive temperatures. The thermal  
shutdown trip point is typically 150°C. There is a hysteresis of  
typically 35°C so the die temperature must decrease to ap-  
proximately 115°C before the LM3500 will return to normal  
operation.  
LED-DRIVE CAPABILITY  
The maximum number of LEDs that can be driven by the  
LM3500 is limited by the output voltage capability of the  
LM3500. When using the LM3500 in the typical application  
configuration, with LEDs stacked in series between the  
VOUT and FB pins, the maximum number of LEDs that can be  
placed in series (NMAX) is dependent on the maximum LED  
forward voltage (VF-MAX), the voltage of the LM3500 feedback  
pin (VFB-MAX = 0.53V), and the minimum output over-voltage  
protection level of the chosen LM3500 option (LM3500-16:  
OVPMIN = 15V; LM3500-21: OVPMIN = 20V). For the circuit to  
function properly, the following inequality must be met:  
INDUCTOR SELECTION  
The inductor used with the LM3500 must have a saturation  
current greater than the cycle by cycle peak inductor current  
(see Typical Peak Inductor Currents table below). Choosing  
inductors with low DCR decreases power losses and increas-  
es efficiency.  
The minimum inductor value required for the LM3500-16 can  
be calculated using the following equation:  
(NMAX × VF-MAX) + 0.53V OVPMIN  
When inserting a value for maximim LED VF, LED forward  
voltage variation over the operating temperature range  
should be considered. The table below provides maximum  
LED voltage numbers for the LM3500-16 and LM3500-21 in  
the typical application circuit configuration (with 3, 4, 5, 6, or  
7 LEDs placed in series between the VOUT and FB pins).  
The minimum inductor value required for the LM3500-21 can  
be calculated using the following equation:

For both equations above, L is in µH, VIN is the input supply  
of the chip in Volts, RDSON is the ON resistance of the NMOS  
power switch found in the Typical Performance Characteris-  
tics section in ohms and D is the duty cycle of the switching  
regulator. The above equation is only valid for D greater than  
or equal to 0.5. For applications where the minimum duty cy-  
cle is less than 0.5, a 22µH inductor is the typical recommen-  
dation for use with most applications. Bench-level verification  
of circuit performance is required in these special cases, how-  
ever. The duty cycle, D, is given by the following equation:  
3.89V  
3.24V

2.78V  
For the LM3500 to operate properly, the output voltage must  
be kept above the input voltage during operation. For most  
applications, this requires a minimum of 2 LEDs (total of 6V  
or more) between the FB and VOUT pins.  
OUTPUT OVERVOLTAGE PROTECTION  
The LM3500 contains dedicated circuitry for monitoring the  
output voltage. In the event that the primary LED network is  
disconnected from the LM3500-16, the output voltage will in-  
crease and be limited to 15.5V (typ.). There is a 900mV  
hysteresis associated with this circuitry which will cause the  
output to fluctuate between 15.5V and 14.6V (typ.) if the pri-  
mary network is disconnected. In the event that the network  
is reconnected regulation will begin at the appropriate output  
voltage. The 15.5V limit allows the use of 16V 1µF ceramic  
output capacitors creating an overall small solution for white  
LED applications.

In the event that the primary LED network is disconnected  
from the LM3500-21, the output voltage will increase and be

Choose low ESR ceramic capacitors for the output to mini-  
mize output voltage ripple. Multilayer X7R or X5R type ce-  
ramic capacitors are the best choice. For most applications,  
a 1µF ceramic output capacitor is sufficient.

Local bypassing for the input is needed on the LM3500. Mul-  
tilayer X7R or X5R ceramic capacitors with low ESR are a  
good choice for this as well. A 1µF ceramic capacitor is suf-  
ficient for most applications. However, for some applications  
at least a 4.7µF ceramic capacitor may be required for proper  
startup of the LM3500. Using capacitors with low ESR de-  
creases input voltage ripple. For additional bypassing, a  
100nF ceramic capacitor can be used to shunt high frequency  
ripple on the input. Some recommended capacitors include

LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS  
5 LED applications: LM3500-21 only; LED VF = 3.28V at 20mA; TA = 25°C  
The input bypass capacitor CIN, as shown in Figure 1, must  
be placed close to the device and connect between the VIN  
and GND pins. This will reduce copper trace resistance which  
effects the input voltage ripple of the IC. For additional input  
voltage filtering, a 100nF bypass capacitor can be placed in  
parallel with CIN to shunt any high frequency noise to ground.  
The output capacitor, COUT, should also be placed close to  
the LM3500 and connected directly between the VOUT and  
GND pins. Any copper trace connections for the COUT capac-  
itor can increase the series resistance, which directly effects  
output voltage ripple and efficiency. The current setting re-  
sistor, RLED, should be kept close to the FB pin to minimize  
copper trace connections that can inject noise into the sys-  
tem. The ground connection for the current setting resistor  
should connect directly to the GND pin. The AGND pin should  
connect directly to the GND pin. Not connecting the AGND  
pin directly, as close to the chip as possible, may affect the  
performance of the LM3500 and limit its current driving capa-  
bility. Trace connections made to the inductor should be  
minimized to reduce power dissipation, EMI radiation and in-  
crease overall efficiency. It is good practice to keep the VSW  
routing away from sensitive pins such as the FB pin. Failure  
to do so may inject noise into the FB pin and affect the regu-  
lation of the device. See Figure 2 and Figure 3 for an example  
of a good layout as used for the LM3500 evaluation board.  
The typical cycle-by-cycle peak inductor current can be cal-  
culated from the following equation:  
where IOUT is the total load current, FSW is the switching fre-  
quency, L is the inductance and η is the converter efficiency  
of the total driven load. A good typical number to use for η is  
0.8. The value of η can vary with load and duty cycle. The  
average inductor current, which is also the average VSW pin  
current, is given by the following equation:  
The maximum output current capability of the LM3500 can be  
estimated with the following equation:  
where ICL is the current limit. Some recommended inductors  
include but are not limited to:
