LM3500  
Synchronous Step-up DC/DC Converter for White LED  
Applications  
General Description  
Features  
n Synchronous rectification, high efficiency and no  
external schottky diode required  
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 synchro-  
nous 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 oper-  
ates with a fixed 1MHz switching frequency. When used with  
ceramic input and output capacitors, the LM3500 provides a  
small, low-noise, low-cost solution.  
n Uses small surface mount components  
n Can drive 2-5 white LEDs in series  
(may function with more low-VF LEDs)  
n 2.7V to 7V input range  
n Internal output over-voltage protection (OVP) circuitry,  
with no external zener diode required  
LM3500-16: 15.5V OVP; LM3500-21: 20.5V OVP.  
n True shutdown isolation  
n 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  
voltage 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 protec-  
tion circuitry on the output to prevent a destructive over-  
voltage event.  
n Requires only small ceramic capacitors at the input and  
output  
n Thermal Shutdown  
n 0.1µA shutdown current  
n Small 8-bump thin micro SMD package  
Applications  
n LCD Bias Supplies  
n White LED Backlighting  
n Handheld Devices  
n Digital Cameras  
A single external resistor is used to set the maximum LED  
current in LED-drive applications. The LED current can eas-  
ily be adjusted using a pulse width modulated (PWM) signal  
on the shutdown pin. In shutdown, the LM3500 completely  
disconnects the input from output, creating total isolation and  
preventing any leakage currents from trickling into the LEDs.

IN(pin B1): Analog and Power supply pin. Bypass this pin  
with a capacitor, as close to the device as possible, con-  
nected between the VIN and GND pins.  
NC(pin A3): No internal connection is made to this pin. The  
maximum allowable voltage that can be applied to this pin is  
7.5V.  
VOUT(pin C1): Source connection of internal PMOS power  
device. Connect the output capacitor between the VOUT and  
GND pins as close as possible to the device.  
SHDN(pin A2): Shutdown control pin. Disable the device  
with a voltage less than 0.3V and enable the device with a  
voltage greater than 1.1V. The white LED current can be  
controlled using a PWM signal at this pin. There is an  
internal pull down on the SHDN pin, the device is in a  
normally off state.  
VSW(pin C2): Drain connection of internal NMOS and PMOS  
switch devices. Keep the inductor connection close to this  
pin to minimize EMI radiation.

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 (T  
) is dependent on the maximum operating junction temperature (T  
= 125oC), the maximum power

dissipation of the device in the application (P  
), and the junction-to ambient thermal resistance of the part/package in the application (θ ), as given by the  
D-MAX

following equation: T  
= T  
J-MAX-OP  
– (θ x P  
).

Note 6: Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θ ) is highly application and board-layout dependent. The 75oC/W figure provided was measured on a 4-layer test  
JA  
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  
control 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 so-  
lution. The operation can best be understood referring to the  
block diagram in Figure 1. At the start of each cycle, the  
oscillator 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 minimizing EMI radiation. The EAMP voltage is  
compared with a voltage ramp and the sensed switch volt-  
age. Once this voltage 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 de-  
vice. The inductor current then flows through the PMOS  
power device to the white LED load and output capacitor.  
The inductor current recharges the output capacitor and  
supplies the current for the white LED branches. The oscil-  
lator then sets the driver logic again repeating the process.  
The Duty Limit Comp is always operational 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 comparator 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.

In the event that the primary LED network is disconnected  
from the LM3500-21, the output voltage will increase and be  
limited to 20.5V (typ.). There is a 1V hysteresis associated  
with this circuitry which will cause the output to fluctuate  
between 20.5V and 19.5V (typ.) if the primary network is  
disconnected. 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 capaci-  
tors.  
Application Information  
ADJUSTING LED CURRENT  
The White LED current is set using the following equation:  
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 con-  
trolling 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.  
RELIABILITY AND THERMAL SHUTDOWN  
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  
approximately 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 feed-  
back 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 in-  
creases efficiency.  
The minimum inductor value required for the LM3500-16 can  
be calculated using the following equation:  
(NMAX x 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  
cycle is less than 0.5, a 22µH inductor is the typical recom-  
mendation for use with most applications. Bench-level veri-  
fication of circuit performance is required in these special  
cases, however. 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  
increase 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  
primary network is disconnected. In the event that the net-  
work 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.

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.  
Multilayer X7R or X5R ceramic capacitors with low ESR are  
a good choice for this as well. A 1µF ceramic capacitor is  
sufficient for most applications. However, for some applica-  
tions at least a 4.7µF ceramic capacitor may be required for  
proper startup of the LM3500. Using capacitors with low  
ESR decreases input voltage ripple. For additional bypass-  
ing, a 100nF ceramic capacitor can be used to shunt high  
frequency ripple on the input. Some recommended capaci-  
tors include but are not limited to:

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 capacitor can increase the series resistance, which  
directly effects output voltage ripple and efficiency. The cur-  
rent setting resistor, RLED, should be kept close to the FB pin  
to minimize copper trace connections that can inject noise  
into the system. The ground connection for the current set-  
ting 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 capability. Trace connections made to  
the inductor should be minimized to reduce power dissipa-  
tion, EMI radiation and increase 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 regulation 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  
frequency, L is the inductance and η is the converter effi-  
ciency 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
