Using a DC Voltage The RT9284A/B must take notice of the power sequence. The power sequence of RT9284A/B has to VDD early than EN or else the RT9284A/B maybe fall into the unknown state to result in RT9284A/B turn off. Using a variable DC voltage to adjust the brightness is a popular method in some applications. The dimming control using a DC voltage circuit is shown in Figure 6. According to the Superposition Theorem, as the DC voltage increases, the voltage contributed to VFB increases and the voltage drop on R2 decreases, i.e. the LED current decreases. For example, if the VDC range is from 0V to 2.8V, the selection of resistors in Figure 6 sets dimming control of LED current from 20mA to 0mA. V DD > 2.7V V DD EN > 1.5V EN EN < 0.4V V OUT V IN 2.7V to 5.5V C1 D1 SS0520 L1 4.7uH to 22uH Figure 5 LED Current Control 6 The RT9284A/B regulates the LED current by setting the current sense resistor (R1) connecting to feedback and ground. As shown in Table 1, the RT9284A feedback voltage (VFB) is 1.235V and the RT9284B feedback voltage (VFB) is 0.25V. The LED current (ILED) can be set by a resistor R1. In order to have an accurate LED current, a precision resistor is preferred (1% is recommended).

Dimming Control Using a DC Voltage for RT9284A The LED current can be calculated by the following equation. VFB - ILED = R2 x (VDC - VFB ) R3 R1 c. Using a Filtered PWM signal: Dimming Control a. Using a PWM Signal to EN Pin For controlling the LED brightness, the RT9284A/B can perform the dimming control by applying a PWM signal to EN pin. The internal soft start and the wide range dimming frequency from100 to100kHz can eliminate inrush current and audio noise when dimming. The average LED current is proportional to the PWM signal duty cycle. The magnitude of the PWM signal should be higher than the maximum enable voltage of EN pin, in order to let the dimming control perform correctly. www.richtek.com 10 Another common application is using a filtered PWM signal as an adjustable DC voltage for LED dimming control. A filtered PWM signal acts as the DC voltage to regulate the output current. The recommended application circuit is shown in the Figure 7. In this circuit, the output ripple depends on the frequency of PWM signal. For smaller output voltage ripple (<100mV), the recommended frequency of 2.8V PWM signal should be above 2kHz. To fix the frequency of PWM signal and change the duty cycle of PWM signal can get different output current. Figure 8. shows the relationship between LED current and PWM duty cycle.

Filtered PWM Signal for LED Dimming Control of RT9284A The LED current can be calculated by the following equation. ILED = Diode Selection Schottky diode is a good choice for RT9284A/B because of its low forward voltage drop and fast reverse recovery. C DC 1uF 2.8V 0V PWM Signal VFB - Input and output ceramic capacitors of 1F are recommended for RT9284A/B applications. For better voltage filtering, ceramic capacitors with low ESR are recommended. X5R and X7R types are suitable because of their wider voltage and temperature ranges. Using Schottky diode can get better efficiency. The highspeed rectification is also a good characteristic of Schottky diode for high switching frequency. Current rating of the diode must meet the root mean square of the peak current and output average current multiplication as following : ID (RMS) (IOUT x IPEAK ) R2 x (VPWM x Duty - VFB ) R3 + RDC R1 The diode' s reverse breakdown voltage should be larger than the output voltage. SS0520 is recommended Schottky diode for rectifier. 20 18 Layout Guide z A full GND plane without gap break. z VCC to GND noise bypass-Short and wide connection for the 1F MLCC capacitor between Pin6 and Pin2. z Minimized LX node copper area to reduce EMI. z Minimized FB node copper area and keep far away from noise sources.

Small size and better efficiency are the major concerns for portable device, such as RT9284A/B used for mobile phone. The inductor should have low core loss at 1.2MHz and low DCR for better efficiency. To avoid inductor saturation current rating should be considered. DS9284A/B-05 August 2007 Figure 9.
