Cntrl (Bump A1): White LED current control pin. Use this  
pin to control the feedback voltage with an external DC  
voltage. The feedback voltage is given as VFb = (0.156) *  
(VCntrl) for the control voltage range of 0V VCntrl 3.5V.  
VIN (Bump B3): Input voltage connection pin. The CIN ca-  
pacitor should be as close to the device as possible, be-  
tween the VIN pin and ground plane.  
En2 (Bump A3): Enable pin for the internal NMOS FET  
switch (Figure 1: N2) during device operation. When VEn2 is  
1.4V, the internal NMOS FET switch turns off and the SUB  
display is turned on. The En2 pin has an internal pull down  
circuit, thus the internal NMOS FET switch is normally in the  
on state of operation with the SUB display turned off. When  
VEn2 is 0.3V, the internal NMOS FET switch turns on and  
the SUB display is turned off. If both VEn1 and VEn2 are ≤  
0.3V the LM3503 will shutdown. If VOUT2 is not used, En2  
must be floating or grounded and En1 used to enable the  
device.  
Fb (Bump B1):Output voltage feedback connection.  
VOUT2 (Bump C1):Drain connections of the internal PMOS  
and NMOS FET switches (Figure 1: P1 and N2). It is recom-  
mended to connect 100nF at VOUT2 if VOUT2 is not used for  
LM3503-35V & LM3503-44V versions.  
VOUT1(Bump D1):  
Source connection of the internal PMOS FET switch (Figure  
1: P1) and OVP sensing node. The output capacitor must be  
connected as close to the device as possible, between the  
VOUT1 pin and ground plane. Also connect the Schottky  
diode as close as possible to the VOUT1 pin to minimize trace  
resistance and EMI radiation.  
En1 (Bump A2): Enable pin for the internal PMOS FET  
switch (Figure 1: P1) during device operation. When VEn1 is  
0.3V, the internal PMOS FET switch turns on and the MAIN  
display is turned off. When VEn1 is 1.4V, the internal PMOS  
FET switch turns off and the MAIN display is turned on. If  
both VEn1 and VEn2 are 0.3V the LM3503 will shutdown.  
The En1 pin has an internal pull down circuit, thus the  
internal PMOS FET switch is normally in the on state of  
operation with the MAIN display turned off. If VOUT2 is not  
used, En2 must be grounded and En1 use to enable the  
device.  
Sw (Bump D2):  
Drain connection of the internal power NMOS FET switch  
(Figure 1: N1). Minimize the metal trace length and maxi-  
mize the metal trace width connected to this pin to reduce  
EMI radiation and trace resistance.  
Pgnd (Bump D3): Power ground pin. Connect directly to the  
ground plane.  
Agnd (Bump C3):Analog ground pin. Connect the analog  
ground pin directly to the Pgnd pin.

work is active for dual display applications. En1 controls the  
main display (MAIN) segment of the single string white LED  
network between pins VOUT1 and VOUT2. En2 controls the  
sub display (SUB) segment of the single string white LED  
network between the VOUT2 and Fb. If both VEn1 and VEn2  
are 0.3V, the LM3503 will shutdown, for further description  
of the En1 and En2 operation, see Figure 3. During shut-  
down the output capacitor discharges through the string of  
white LEDs and feedback resistor to ground. The LED cur-  
rent can be dynamically controlled by a DC voltage on the  
Cntrl pin. When VCntrl = 0V the white LED current may not be  
equal to zero because of offsets within the LM3503 internal  
circuitry. To guarantee zero white LED current the LM3503  
must be in shutdown mode operation.  
Detailed Description of Operation  
The LM3503 utilizes an asynchronous current mode pulse-  
width-modulation (PWM) control scheme to regulate the  
feedback voltage over specified load conditions. The DC/DC  
converter behaves as a controlled current source for white  
LED applications. The operation can best be understood by  
referring to the block diagram in Figure 1 for the following  
operational explanation. At the start of each cycle, the oscil-  
lator sets the driver logic and turns on the internal NMOS  
power device, N1, conducting current through the inductor  
and reverse biasing the external diode. The white LED cur-  
rent is supplied by the output capacitor when the internal  
NMOS power device, N1, is turned on. The sum of the error  
amplifier’s output voltage and an internal voltage ramp are  
compared with the sensed power NMOS, N1, switch voltage.  
Once these voltages are equal, the PWM comparator will  
then reset the driver logic, thus turning off the internal NMOS  
power device, N1, and forward biasing the external diode.  
The inductor current then flows through the diode to the  
white LED load and output capacitor. The inductor current  
recharges the output capacitor and supplies the current for  
the white LED load. The oscillator then sets the driver logic  
again repeating the process. The output voltage of the error  
amplifier controls the current through the inductor. This volt-  
age will increase for larger loads and decrease for smaller  
loads limiting the peak current in the inductor and minimizing  
EMI radiation. The duty limit comparator is always opera-  
tional, it prevents the internal NMOS power switch, N1, from  
being on for more than one oscillator cycle and conducting  
large amounts of current. The light load comparator allows  
the LM3503 to properly regulate light/small white LED load  
currents, where regulation becomes difficult for the  
LM3503’s primary control loop. Under light load conditions,  
the LM3503 will enter into a pulse skipping pulse-frequency-  
mode (PFM) of operation where the operational frequency  
will vary with the load. As a result of PFM mode operation,  
the output voltage ripple magnitude will significantly in-  
crease.  
The LM3503 has dedicated protection circuitry active during  
normal operation to protect the integrated circuit (IC) and  
external components. Soft start circuitry is present in the  
LM3503 to allow for slowly increasing the current limit to its  
steady-state value to prevent undesired high inrush current  
during start up. Thermal shutdown circuitry turns off the  
internal NMOS power device, N1, when the internal semi-  
conductor junction temperature reaches excessive levels.  
The LM3503 has a under-voltage protection (UVP) compara-  
tor that disables the internal NMOS power device when  
battery voltages are too low, thus preventing an on state  
where the internal NMOS power device conducts large  
amounts of current. The over-voltage protection (OVP) com-  
parator prevents the output voltage from increasing beyond  
the protection limit when the white LED string network is  
removed or if there is a white LED failure. OVP allows for the  
use of low profile ceramic capacitors at the output. The  
current through the internal NMOS power device, N1, is  
monitored to prevent peak inductor currents from damaging  
the IC. If during a cycle (cycle=1/switching frequency) the  
peak inductor current exceeds the current limit for the  
LM3503, the internal NMOS power device will be turned off  
for the remaining duration of that cycle.  
The LM3503 has two control pins, En1 and En2, used for  
selecting which segment of a single white LED string net-

device, it is best to estimate using equations on page 16 and  
the minimum peak current limit of the device (see electrical  
table). Note the current capability will be higher with less  
LEDs in the application.

Equation #2:  
Aside from varying the DC voltage at the Cntrl pin, white LED  
dimming can be accomplished through the RC filtering of a  
PWM signal. The PWM signal frequency should be at least a  
decade greater than the RC filter bandwidth. Figure 3 is how  
the LM3503 should be wired for PWM filtered white LED  
dimming functionality. When using PWM dimming, it is rec-  
ommended to add 1-2ms delay between the Cntrl signal and  
the main Enable sginal (En1) to allow time for the output to  
discharge. This will prevent potential flickering especially if  
the Sub display is compose of 2 LEDs or less.

the average inductor current, IL(avg), divided by half the  
inductor ripple current, iL. Using Figure 4, the following  
equation can be used to compute R factor:  
Since the LM3503 is a constant frequency pulse-width-  
modulated step-up regulator, care must be taken to make  
sure the maximum duty cycle specification is not violated.  
The duty cycle equation depends on which mode of opera-  
tion the LM3503 is in. The two operational modes of the  
LM3503 are continuous conduction mode (CCM) and dis-  
continuous conduction mode (DCM). Continuous conduction  
mode refers to the mode of operation where during the  
switching cycle, the inductor current never goes to and stays  
at zero for any significant amount of time during the switch-  
ing cycle. Discontinuous conduction mode refers to the  
mode of operation where during the switching cycle, the  
inductor current goes to and stays at zero for a significant  
amount of time during the switching cycle. Figure 4 illus-  
trates the threshold between CCM and DCM operation. In  
Figure 4 the inductor current is right on the CCM/DCM  
operational threshold. Using this as a reference, a factor can  
be introduced to calculate when a particular application is in  
CCM or DCM operation. R is a CCM/DCM factor we can use  
to compute which mode of operation a particular application  
is in. If R is 1, then the application is operating in CCM.

INDUCTOR SELECTION  
In order to maintain inductance, an inductor used with the  
LM3503 should have a saturation current rating larger than  
the peak inductor current of the particular application. Induc-  
tors with low DCR values contribute decreased power losses  
and increased efficiency. The peak inductor current can be  
computed for both modes of operation: CCM and DCM.  
CAPACITOR SELECTION  
Multilayer ceramic capacitors are the best choice for use  
with the LM3503. Multilayer ceramic capacitors have the  
lowest equivalent series resistance (ESR). Applied voltage  
or DC bias, temperature, dielectric material type (X7R, X5R,  
Y5V, etc), and manufacturer component tolerance have an  
affect on the true or effective capacitance of a ceramic  
capacitor. Be aware of how your application will affect a  
particular ceramic capacitor by analyzing the aforemen-  
tioned factors of your application. Before selecting a capaci-  
tor always consult the capacitor manufacturer’s data curves  
to verify the effective or true capacitance of the capacitor in  
your application.

can be computed with:  
20128646  
INPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION  
20128647  
The input capacitor serves as an energy reservoir for the  
inductor. In addition to acting as an energy reservoir for the  
inductor the input capacitor is necessary for the reduction in  
input voltage ripple and noise experienced by the LM3503.  
The reduction in input voltage ripple and noise helps ensure

the LM3503’s proper operation, and reduces the effect of the  
LM3503 on other devices sharing the same supply voltage.  
To ensure low input voltage ripple, the input capacitor must  
have an extremely low ESR. As a result of the low input  
voltage ripple requirement multilayer ceramic capacitors are  
the best choice. A minimum capacitance of 2.0 µF is required  
for normal operation, so consult the capacitor manufactur-  
er’s data curves to verify whether the minimum capacitance  
requirement is going to be achieved for a particular applica-  
tion.

OUTPUT CAPACITOR SELECTION  
The output capacitor serves as an energy reservoir for the  
white LED load when the internal power FET switch (Figure  
1: N1) is on or conducting current. The requirements for the  
output capacitor must include worst case operation such as  
when the load opens up and the LM3503 operates in over-  
voltage protection (OVP) mode operation. A minimum ca-  
pacitance of 0.5 µF is required to ensure normal operation.  
Consult the capacitor manufacturer’s data curves to verify  
whether the minimum capacitance requirement is going to  
be achieved for a particular application.  
SHUTDOWN AND START-UP  
On startup, the LM3503 contains special circuitry that limits  
the peak inductor current which prevents large current  
spikes from loading the battery or power supply. The  
LM3503 is shutdown when both En1 and En2 signals are  
less than 0.3V. During shutdown the output voltage is a  
diode drop below the supply voltage. When shutdown, the  
softstart is reset to prevent inrush current at the next startup.  
Some recommended capacitor manufacturers included but  
are not limited to:  
THERMAL SHUTDOWN  
The LM3503 stops regulating when the internal semiconduc-  
tor junction temperature reaches approximately 140˚C. The  
internal thermal shutdown has approximately 20˚C of hyster-  
esis which results in the LM3503 turning back on when the  
internal semiconductor junction temperature reaches 120˚C.  
When the thermal shutdown temperature is reached, the  
softstart is reset to prevent inrush current when the die  
temperature cools.

UNDER VOLTAGE PROTECTION  
The LM3503 contains protection circuitry to prevent opera-  
tion for low input supply voltages. When Vin drops below  
2.3V, typically, the LM3503 will no longer regulate. In this  
mode, the output voltage will be one diode drop below Vin  
and the softstart will be reset. When Vin increases above  
2.4V, typically, the device will begin regulating again.

OVER VOLTAGE PROTECTION  
The LM3503 contains dedicated ciruitry for monitoring the  
output voltage. In the event that the LED network is discon-  
nected from the LM3503, the output voltage will increase  
and be limited to 15.5V(typ.) for the 16V version, 24V(typ.)  
for the 25V version, 34V(typ.) for 35V version and 42V(typ.)  
for the 44V version. (see electrical table for more details). In  
the event that the network is reconnected regulation will  
resume at the appropriate output voltage.  
DIODE SELECTION  
To maintain high efficiency it is recommended that the aver-  
age current rating (IF or IO) of the selected diode should be  
larger than the peak inductor current (ILpeak). At the minimum  
the average current rating of the diode should be larger than  
the maximum LED current. To maintain diode integrity the  
peak repetitive forward current (IFRM) must be greater than  
or equal to the peak inductor current (ILpeak). Diodes with low  
forward voltage ratings (VF) and low junction capacitance  
magnitudes (CJ or CT or CD) are conducive to high efficiency.  
The chosen diode must have a reverse breakdown voltage  
rating (VR and/or VRRM) that is larger than the output voltage  
(VOUT). No matter what type of diode is chosen, Schottky or  
not, certain selection criteria must be followed:  
LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS  
All components, except for the white LEDs, must be placed  
as close as possible to the LM3503. The die attach pad  
(DAP) must be soldered to the ground plane.  
The input bypass capacitor CIN, as shown in the Typical  
Application Circuit,, must be placed close to the IC and  
connect between the VIN and Pgnd pins. This will reduce  
copper trace resistance which effects input voltage ripple of  
the IC. For additional input voltage filtering, a 100 nF bypass  
capacitor can be placed in parallel with CIN to shunt any high  
frequency noise to ground. The output capacitor, COUT, must  
be placed close to the IC and be connected between the  
VOUT1 and Pgnd pins. Any copper trace connections for the  
COUT capacitor can increase the series resistance, which
