GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ADP1653 is a very compact, high efficiency, high power,

camera flash LED driver optimized for cellular phones. The

high efficiency and dynamic LED current control of the device

improve flash brightness and picture quality in dimly lit

environments. Efficiency peaks at 92% and is higher than

charge pump solutions over the Li-Ion battery range.

The device has a dual-mode interface that is configurable to 2-bit

logic or an I

2

C® interface. The indicator and high power LED

currents are programmable with external resistors or through the

I

2

C interface. To maximize overall flash brightness, the ADP1653

offers an input to reduce flash LED current in less than 50 µs,

referred to as the Tx mask. Tx masking reduces battery stress by

scaling back flash LED current during an RF transmission.

The ADP1653 solution requires only four external components

in I

2

C mode and fits in a 6.4 mm × 7.2 mm space. The part inte-

grates multiple safety features such as soft start, flash timeout,

output current limit, thermal protection, and overvoltage

protection.

The ADP1653 operates over the −40°C to +125°C junction

temperature range.

In applications where high power dissipation and poor thermal resistance

are present, the maximum ambient temperature may have to be derated.

Maximum ambient temperature (T

A(MAX)

) is dependent on the maximum

operating junction temperature (T

J(MAXOP)

= 125°C), the maximum power

dissipation of the device (P

D(MAX)

), and the junction-to-ambient thermal

resistance of the part/package in the application (θ

JA

), using the following

equation: T

A(MAX)

= T

J(MAXOP)

− (θ

JA

× P

D(MAX)

).

Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings

may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress

rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any

other conditions above those indicated in the operational

section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute

maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect

device reliability.

Absolute maximum ratings apply individually only, not in

combination. Unless otherwise specified, all other voltages

are referenced to GND.

THERMAL RESISTANCE

Junction-to-ambient thermal resistance (θ

JA

) of the package is

based on modeling and calculation using a 4-layer board. The

junction-to-ambient thermal resistance is dependent on the

application and board layout. In applications where high maximum

power dissipation exists, attention to thermal board design is

required. The value of θ

JA

may vary, depending on PCB material,

layout, and environmental conditions. For more information,

see the AN-772 Application Note, A Design and Manufacturing

Guide for the Lead Frame Chip Scale Package (LFCSP).

Figure 4. Pin Configuration

Table 5. Pin Function Descriptions

Pin No. Mnemonic Description

1 SETT

Set Torch Input (2-Bit Logic Interface Only). SETT programs the high power LED current in torch mode. An

external resistor connected between SETT and ground sets the torch current. When SETT is tied high, the current

is internally set to 125 mA. In I

2

C mode, this pin is regarded as a no connect.

2 SETF

Set Flash Input. SETF programs the high power LED (HPLED) current in flash mode and allows for transmit

blanking of the LED. In 2-bit logic interface mode, an external resistor connected between SETF and ground sets

the flash current. If SETF is tied high, the current is set internally to 500 mA. In I

2

C mode, the flash current scales

with both the external resistor and the internal HPLED bits in the output select register. If SETF is tied high, an

internal 50 kΩ resistor combined with the HPLED bits set the HPLED current.

3 CTRL1/SCL

Serial Interface Clock Input. In 2-bit logic interface mode, CTRL1 is the second input bit of the digital interface.

In I

2

C mode, SCL is the clock input of the I

2

C-compatible serial interface.

4 CTRL0/SDA

Serial Interface Data Input. In 2-bit logic interface mode, CTRL0 is the first input bit of the digital interface.

In I

2

C mode, SDA is the data input/output of the I

2

C-compatible serial interface.

5 SETI

Set Indicator Input (2-Bit Logic Interface Only). SETI programs the indicator LED current. An external resistor connected

between SETI and ground sets the indicator LED (ILED) current. If SETI is tied high, the current is internally set to

10 mA. In I

2

C mode, this pin is regarded as a no connect.

6 ILED

Indicator LED Input. Connect the cathode of the indicator LED to the ILED pin. Connect the anode to the battery

or to a voltage rail greater than the LED forward voltage.

7 OUT

White LED Output Voltage. OUT senses the output voltage of the white LED step-up converter. At startup, the
ADP1653 limits the rate of increase of the voltage at OUT (soft start) to prevent excessive input inrush current.

The OUT pin features a comparator to detect an overvoltage condition if the LED string is open circuited. Connect

the anode of the white LED(s) to OUT. Connect a 3.3 μF or greater capacitor between OUT and PGND.

8 GND Analog/Digital Ground. Connect GND to PGND at the LFCSP paddle.

9 HPLED

High Power LED Current Regulator. HPLED regulates the current of the high power LED(s). Connect the cathode of

the white LED string to HPLED.

10 INTF

Interface Input. INTF selects the 2-pin interface mode. INTF is driven high to enable CTRL1 and CTRL0 for 2-bit

logic interface mode. INTF is driven low to enable SDA and SCL for I

2

C interfacing.

11

INT Active Low Interrupt Output. INT is an open-drain output that transitions from high to low to signal that a fault

condition has occurred.

INT should be connected via a pull-up resistor (for example, 10 kΩ to 100 kΩ) to the I/O

supply rail and directly to the system processor. When an interrupt is detected, the system processor can read the

FAULT register, using the I

2

C interface for details on the fault condition.

12 PGND Power Ground for Internal Switching FET.

13 LX

White LED Switch Node. LX drives the inductor of the white LED step-up converter. An inductor and diode

connected to LX powers the white LEDs.

14 V

DD

Supply Input. Connect the battery between V

DD

and PGND. Bypass V

DD

to PGND with a 4.7 μF or greater capacitor.

15 EN

Enable Input. CMOS input. Driving EN high turns on the ADP1653. Driving EN low disables the ADP1653 and

reduces the input current to less than 1 μA. When EN is high, disabling the LEDs puts the part into sleep mode,

dropping the input current to less than 45 μA.

16 STR

Strobe Control Input (I

2

C Interface Only). CMOS input. Driving STR high enables the flash function of the white

LED. STR also enables the watchdog timer to prevent overstressing the white LEDs.

C mode, the output current scales with both the I

2

C setting and the external reference current. The SETF resistor scales both the flash

mode and torch mode currents.

THEORY OF OPERATION

The ADP1653 is a high power, white LED driver ideal for
driving white LEDs for use as a camera flash. The ADP1653

includes a step-up converter and a current regulator suitable for

powering one, or up to three, high power, white LEDs. A second

lower current sink allows an indicator LED to be driven with

2.5 mA to 17.5 mA current.

The ADP1653 responds to a 2-pin control interface that can

operate in two separate pin-selectable modes. Tying the INTF

pin high enables a 2-bit logic hardwire interface. Tying the

INTF pin low enables the I

2

C interface.

WHITE LED DRIVER

The ADP1653 drives a step-up converter to power typically one

or two series-connected, high power LEDs. The white LED driver

regulates the high power LED current for accurate brightness

control. The ADP1653 uses an integrated NFET current regulator

that drops the voltage when the power LED forward voltage is

less than the battery voltage.

When the required LED voltage is greater than the battery voltage,

the NFET current regulator voltage at the HPLED pin is approxi-

mately 320 mV, and the step-up converter applies the appropriate

voltage to OUT, allowing the LED to conduct the regulated current.

When the white LED is turned on, the step-up converter output

voltage slew is limited to 18 V/ms to prevent excessive battery

current while charging the output capacitor. The output voltage

of the step-up converter is sensed at OUT. If the output voltage

exceeds the 10.15 V (typical) limit, the white LED converter

turns off to indicate that a fault condition has occurred through

the

INT

output and system registers. This feature prevents damage

due to an overvoltage if the white LED string fails with an open-

circuit condition.

Setting the LED regulation currents depends on the 2-pin

control interface used, as described in the following sections.

2-BIT LOGIC INTERFACE MODE (INTF = 1)

In 2-bit logic interface mode, the two control pins, CTRL1 and

CTRL0, select whether the part is disabled or operating in indicator

LED mode, torch mode, or flash mode, as outlined in

Table 7.

The LED current levels for indicator LED mode, torch mode,

and flash mode operation are set with separate external resistors

tied between ground and the SETI, SETT, and SETF pins,

respectively. The resulting reference current into each SETx pin

is equal to 1.22 V/R

SETx

. The reference current multiplied by a

fixed ratio sets the relevant LED current.

Alternatively, a default internal current setting is used by tying

the SETx pin high. The default current for each mode of operation

approximately equals the current obtained with a 50 kΩ resistor

tied from the SETx pin to ground.

Consequently, the LED current resulting from an external

resistor R

SETx

is given by the following equation:

where I

DEFAULT

is the LED current resulting from tying the SETx

pin high.

The values of I

DEFAULT

are given in Table 7 for indicator LED mode

(SETI), torch mode (SETT), and flash mode (SETF) operation.

For accurate LED current settings, the minimum SETx resistor

values should be 25 kΩ (SETI, SETT) or 50 kΩ (SETF).

The flash current can be quickly reduced with an external

logic signal (typically 1.8 V logic) by adding a second external

resistor from the SETF pin to the logic signal. Bringing this

digital input from low to high toggles the flash from normal

to reduced current mode by reducing the reference current

supplied to the ADP1653 via the SETF pin (see the

Applications

section).

I

C INTERFACE MODE (INTF = 0)

The ADP1653 includes an I

2

C-compatible serial interface for

control of LED current, as well as for readback of system status

registers. The I

2

C chip address is 0x60 (0110 0000 (binary) in

write mode). The default value of all four registers is 0x00.

Registers values are reset to the default values when enable is

brought low, or the VDD supply falls below the undervoltage

(UVLO) level.

Figure 26 illustrates the I

2

C write sequence. The subaddress

content selects which of the four ADP1653 registers is written

to.

Figure 27 shows the I

2

C read sequence. The ADP1653 sends

the data from the register denoted by the subaddress. In this

case, the fault register is read (REG3).

The register definitions are shown in

Figure 28. The lowest bit

C Register Assignments

The LED regulation current levels are controlled by writing to

the ILED and HPLED registers. If the ILED register is set to 0,

the ILED regulator is turned off and no current flows through

the indicator LED. If the ILED register is programmed from

1 (001 binary) to 7 (111 binary), the indicator LED is continuously

on, with a current scaled to the register setting given by

I

ILED

= 2.5 mA × Code (2)

where Code is the ILED register setting. Therefore, the ILED

current can be programmed between 2.5 mA and 17.5 mA,

using the full range of codes.

If the HPLED register is set to 0, the HPLED regulator is turned

off, and no current flows through the high power LED(s). If the

HPLED register is programmed from 1 (00001 binary) to 11

(01011 binary), the regulator is in torch mode, and the HPLED

remains continuously on, independent of the state of STR. If the

HPLED register is programmed between 12 (01100 binary) and

31 (11111 binary), the HPLED regulator remains off until enabled

through the strobe input (STR) or a software strobe command.

To program a desired HPLED current with SETF tied high, use

the following equation:

I

HPLED

= 35 mA + Code × 15 mA (3)

where Code is the HPLED register setting.

Therefore, the HPLED torch current can be programmed between

50 mA and 200 mA for Code 1 to Code 11, and the HPLED flash

current can be programmed between 215 mA and 500 mA for

Code 12 to Code 31.

Additionally, the HPLED current can be adjusted with an external

resistor. This feature is primarily intended for limiting the LED

flash current in handset applications when the phone’s power

amplifier transmits, but it can also be used to modify the HPLED

current settings. If an external SETF resistor is present, the HPLED

current is given by

TURNING ON THE FLASH AND WATCHDOG TIMER

A watchdog timer is always active in flash mode to prevent

overstress of the HPLED.

In 2-bit logic interface mode, users select flash operation by

setting the CTRL1 pin and the CTRL0 pin high. The watchdog

timer in this mode is fixed at 0.82 sec. Bringing the CTRLx pins

to another state terminates the flash. If the state of the CTRLx

pins remains high for longer than 0.82 sec, flash is automatically

disabled by the watchdog timer, and the interrupt pin (

INT

)

goes low to indicate a fault.

Rev. B | Page 16 of 24

In I

2

C mode, users select flash operation by programming the

HPLED register between 12 (01100 binary) and 31 (11111 binary).

The flash does not turn on until a strobe command is given by

either pulling the STR pin high or by writing a software strobe

command to the appropriate I

2

C register.

There are additional settings for the watchdog timer in I

2

C mode.

The strobe command operates in one of two watchdog timer

modes, timed flash and user-controlled flash, which are

controlled via the state of the timeout configuration

(TMR_CFG) bit of the CONFIG register. If TMR_CFG is set

(1), the flash operates in timed mode. In timed flash, a rising

edge on STR turns on the flash. The flash remains on until the

internal timeout occurs, which is set by the TMR_SET bits of the

CONFIG register, according to the following equation:

t

FLASH

= 820 ms − Code × 54.6 ms (5)

where Code ranges from 0 (0000 binary) to 15 (1111 binary),

allowing for flash periods ranging from 54 ms to 820 ms.

If TMR_CFG is not set (0), the flash operates in user-controlled

timer mode. In user-controlled timer mode, the flash remains

on as long as STR is held high. If STR remains high longer than

T

FLASH

(if TMR_SET = 0, t

FLASH

= 820 ms), the flash is turned off

and a fault is set in the watchdog timeout (FLT_TMR) bit of the

FAULT register.

The ADP1653 also offers a software strobe option, allowing the

user to turn on the flash directly through the I

2

C interface without

pulling the STR pin high. Setting the SW_STROBE register bit

to 1 initiates a flash cycle. The strobe can operate in either timed

or user-controlled mode, as previously described.

SAFETY FEATURES

Interrupts

For critical system conditions, such as output overvoltage,

watchdog timeout, and overtemperature conditions, the ADP1653

indicates that an interrupt event has occurred by asserting the

active low interrupt output

INT

.

INT

is an open-drain output

and should be pulled up to the I/O voltage rail by using a resistor.

In I

2

C interface mode, the system baseband processor can read

the fault register through the I

2

C interface to determine the nature

of the fault condition after sensing that

INT

has gone low. Users

can clear a fault by writing 0x00 to the OUT_SEL register. This

brings

INT

high and clears the FAULT register.

In 2-bit logic interface mode,

INT

goes low for the same fault

conditions, but I

2

C register readback is not available. To clear

a fault, set CTRL1 and CTRL0 low.

Overvoltage Fault

The ADP1653 contains a comparator at the OUT pin that monitors

the voltage from the high power LED(s) to PGND. If the voltage

exceeds 10.15 V (typical), the ADP1653 shuts down (I

Q

< 45 µA)

and

INT

goes low. In I

2

C mode, Bit D0 in the FAULT register

(FLT_OV) is read back as high. The ADP1653 is disabled, and

INT

remains low until the fault is cleared.

Timeout Fault

If the 2-bit logic interface is used, the maximum duration for

flash being enabled (CTRL1/CTRL0 =1) is preset to 820 ms.
If CTRL1 and CTRL0 remain high for longer than 820 ms,

INT

goes low and the ADP1653 is disabled.

In I

2

C mode, if TMR_CFG is not set (0), and STR remains high

for longer than t

FLASH

(see Equation 5),

INT

goes low and the

FLT_TMR bit in the FAULT register is read back as high. The

ADP1653 is disabled, and

INT

remains low until the fault is

cleared.

Overtemperature Fault

If the junction temperature of the ADP1653 rises above 155°C,

a thermal protection circuit shuts down the LED driver and

brings

INT

low. In I

2

C mode, Bit D2 (FLT_OT) of the FAULT

register is read back as high. The ADP1653 is disabled, and

INT

remains low until the fault is cleared.

Short-Circuit Fault

The HPLED pin features short-circuit protection that disables

the ADP1653 if it detects a short circuit to ground at the cathode

of the LED(s). The ADP1653 monitors the HPLED voltage once

the part is enabled in torch mode. If after 820 ms the HPLED

pin remains grounded, a short circuit is detected.

INT

goes low,

and Bit D3 (FLT_SCP) of the FAULT register is read back as high.

Avoid false triggering of the Short Circuit Fault by not changing

the torch current level while the short-circuit detection circuit is

making a measurement of HPLED pin voltage. Do not change

torch setting directly between two non-zero torch levels 750 ms

to 900 ms after the torch has been enabled. To change torch

mode current level between two non-zero torch levels 750 ms to
900 ms after enabling torch mode, use the following sequence:

Torch Current Setting #1

Torch Current Sett ing = 0

Torch Current Setting #2

Torch mode and flash modes can be enabled or disabled at

any time.

Input Undervoltage

The ADP1653 includes an input undervoltage lockout circuit.

If the battery voltage drops below the 2.7 V (typical) input UVLO

threshold, the ADP1653 shuts down and the input current drops to

less than 45 µA to prevent deep discharge of the battery. In this

case, the system register information is lost, and when power is

reapplied, a power-on reset circuit resets the registers to their

default conditions.

Current Limit

The internal LX switch limits battery current by ensuring that

the peak inductor current does not exceed 2.1 A (typical). If the

SETI, SETT, or SETF pins accidentally connect to ground, the

reference current is limited to a maximum of 1 mA.

Rev. B | Page 17 of 24

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

FLASH CURRENT FOLDBACK DURING TRANSMIT

PULSE

The ADP1653 allows a fast, 1.8 V logic-enabled foldback of the

flash current, typically enabled shortly before an RF transmit

pulse. This feature extends the life of the battery by preventing

overstress of the battery cell. It also extends the life of the phone

by reducing the maximum instantaneous system current that

can occur, allowing a lower battery operating voltage limit.

2-Bit Logic Interface Mode (INTF = 1)

In 2-bit logic interface mode, the flash current is set with an

external resistor. The 1.22 V reference voltage is buffered to the

SETF pin, generating a reference current across an external SETF

resistor. This reference current is multiplied by a fixed gain to

set the flash current in the HPLED.

A 1.8 V compatible logic signal selects normal or reduced flash

current by adjusting the reference current, as shown in

Figure 29

and

Figure 30.

EXTERNAL COMPONENT SELECTION

Selecting the Inductor

The ADP1653 step-up converter increases the battery voltage to

allow driving one, two, or three LEDs, whose combined voltage

drop is higher than the battery voltage plus the 0.32 V (typical)

current source headroom voltage. This allows the converter to

regulate the HPLED current over the entire battery voltage range

and with a wide variation of LED forward voltage.

Users should choose an inductor value such that the inductor

ripple current is approximately 2/5th of the maximum dc input

load current. In general, lower inductance values have higher

saturation current and lower series resistance for a given physical

size. For most applications, an inductor in the range of 1.5 µH

to 3.3 µH works well.

To determine the inductor ripple current, users should first

calculate the switch duty cycle for the step-up converter, which

is determined by the input voltage (V

IN

), output voltage (V

OUT

),

and Schottky forward voltage (V

F

). V

OUT

equals the LED voltage

drop plus 320 mV (typical) overhead for the HPLED current

regulator.

The HPLED (output) current is regulated as low as 50 mA

The inductor saturation current should be greater than the sum

of the dc input current and half the inductor ripple current.

A reduction in the effective inductance due to saturation increases

the inductor current ripple but improves loop stability, reducing

the amount of output capacitance required. Ensure that the peak

inductor current (dc + 1/2 of inductor ripple) is less than the

LX minimum current limit (1.8 A).

Selecting the Input Capacitor

The ADP1653 requires an input bypass capacitor to supply

transient currents while maintaining constant input and output

voltage. The input capacitor carries the input ripple current,

allowing the input power source to supply only the dc current.

Use an input capacitor with sufficient ripple current rating to

handle the inductor ripple. A 4.7 µF X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor

rated for 6.3 V is the minimum recommended input capacitor.

Increased input capacitance reduces the amplitude of the switching

frequency ripple on the battery. Because of the dc bias charac-

teristics of ceramic capacitors, a 0603, 6.3 V X5R/X7R, 10 µF

ceramic capacitor is preferable.

Selecting the Diode

The ADP1653 is a nonsynchronous boost and, as such, requires

an external Schottky rectifier to conduct the inductor current to

the output capacitor and HPLEDs when the LX switch is off.

Ensure that the Schottky peak current rating is greater than the

maximum inductor current. Choose a diode with an average

current rating that is significantly larger than the maximum
LED current. To prevent thermal runaway, derate the Schottky

rectifier to ensure reliable operation at high junction temperatures.

To achieve the best efficiency, select a Schottky diode with a low V

Selecting the Output Capacitor

The output capacitor maintains the output voltage and supplies

the HPLED current when the LX switch is on. It also stabilizes

the loop. A 4.7 µF, 16 V X5R/X7R ceramic capacitor is generally

recommended. The minimum required capacitance for loop

stability for the two-LED and one-LED cases is shown in

Figure 31

and

Figure 32, respectively. Choose a capacitor with a capacitance

greater than the minimum shown in

Figure 31 and Figure 32

for the worst-case dc bias voltage and temperature condition.

Note that dc bias characterization data is available from

capacitor manufacturers and should be taken into account
when selecting input and output capacitors. 16 V capacitors are

recommended for most two-LED designs. Designs with 1 mm

height restrictions can also use 0603 case size, 16 V capacitors

in parallel.

PCB LAYOUT

Good PCB layout is important to maximize efficiency and to

minimize noise and electromagnetic interference (EMI). An

example PCB layout is shown in

Figure 34. Refer to the

following guidelines for adjustments to the suggested layout.

The high current paths are shown in

Figure 35. Place components

that are on high current paths first. To minimize large current
loops, place the input capacitor, inductor, Schottky diode, and

output capacitor as close as possible to each other and to the

ADP1653 using wide tracks (use shapes where possible).

Use separate analog and power ground planes. The analog ground

plane is used to ground the SETI, SETT, and SETF resistors and

for any digital connections (that is, INTF = 0 = AGND).

Use the power ground plane to ground the power components.

Connect the input capacitor, output capacitor, and the PGND pin

(Pin 12) to the PGND plane. If it is not possible to make the PGND

plane continuous, use a number of low inductance vias to connect

the planes. Connect the AGND and PGND planes at the paddle

or close to the paddle of the ADP1653.

The SETI, SETT, and SETF resistors set a small reference current

that generates the LED current. To minimize noise and current

error, connect the SETI, SETT, and SETF resistors as close as

possible to the ADP1653. Connect the other end of the resistors

directly to the AGND plane.

Connect the output capacitor to the high power LED(s), using

a wide, low resistance trace. Connect the bottom of the LED string

back to the HPLED pin (Pin 9) with a wide trace. The GND pin

(Pin 8) is connected to the source of the current regulator NFET.

Ensure that there is a low impedance back to the battery for the

high power LED current by connecting the GND pin to the PGND

plane with a low impedance via(s) close to the GND pin.

The OUT pin is used for soft start and contains a comparator

for overvoltage protection. Connect the output capacitor back

to the OUT pin (Pin 7) with a direct trace. The trace does not

need to be wide.
