White LED 1x/1.5x Charge Pump in UCSP and Thin QFN
General DescriptionThe MAX1573 fractional charge pump drives up to four
white LEDs with regulated constant current for uniform
intensity. By utilizing proprietary adaptive 1x/1.5x
modes and ultra-low-dropout current regulators, it
maintains the highest possible efficiency over the full
1-cell Li+ battery input voltage range. The 1MHz fixed-
frequency switching allows for tiny external compo-
nents and the regulation scheme is optimized to ensure
low EMI and low input ripple.
An external resistor sets the full-scale LED current, while
two digital inputs control on/off and select amongst three
levels of brightness. A pulse-width modulation (PWM)
signal can also be used to modulate LED brightness,
requiring no additional components.
The MAX1573 is available in the tiny chip-scale UCSP™
(4 x 4 grid) and 16-pin thin QFN packages.

Detailed DescriptionThe MAX1573 is a complete charge-pump buck-boost
converter requiring only four small ceramic capacitors.
The MAX1573 utilizes a proprietary 1x/1.5x fractional
charge-pump topology to drive up to four white LEDs
with regulated constant current for uniform intensity.
The MAX1573 operates with a 1MHz fixed frequency.
An external resistor (RSET) programs the full-scale LED
current, while two digital inputs control on/off and pro-
vide brightness control.
Output RegulationThe MAX1573 operates in 1x mode until just above
dropout. Then the MAX1573 switches to 1.5x charge-
pump mode to regulate the lowest of LED1–LED4 to
150mV and maintain constant LED brightness even at
very low battery voltages. Using this topology, there is
no LED brightness change during the 1x/1.5x switchover,
which guarantees no flicker on the display. The
switchover scheme has low hysteresis, minimizing
operation in the less-efficient 1.5x mode. The 1x mode
produces almost no ripple, while the 1.5x mode regu-
lates the output voltage by controlling the rate at which
the transfer capacitors are charged. In this way, the
switching frequency remains constant for reduced input
ripple and stable noise spectrum.
Soft-StartThe MAX1573 includes soft-start circuitry to limit inrush
current at turn-on. When starting up with an output
voltage that is not near the input voltage, the output
capacitor is charged directly from the input with a DAC-
ramped current source (with no charge-pump action)
until the output voltage is near the input voltage. Once
this occurs, the charge pump determines if 1x or 1.5x
mode is required. In the case of 1x mode, the soft-start
is terminated and normal operation begins. In the case
of 1.5x mode, soft-start operates until the lowest of
LED1–LED4 reaches regulation. If an overload condi-
tion occurs, soft-start repeats every 2.1ms. If the output
is shorted to ground, the output current is limited by
the MAX1573 fractional-switching technique.

True Shutdown™ ModeWhen EN1 and EN2 are grounded, the MAX1573 is in
shutdown, and the charge pump examines whether the
input voltage is greater than or less than the output volt-
age and shorts the transfer capacitor nodes to either IN
or OUT as necessary. The output is high impedance in
either case.
Thermal ShutdownThe MAX1573 includes a thermal-limit circuit that shuts
down the IC at about +160°C. Turn-on occurs after the
IC cools by approximately 20°C.
Setting the Output CurrentSET controls the LED bias current. Current flowing into
LED1, LED2, LED3, and LED4 is a multiple of the current
flowing out of SET. Set the output current as follows:
where K = 22, 66, or 219 (depending upon EN1 and
EN2, see Table 1), and RSETis the resistor connected
between SET and GND (see the Typical Operating
Circuit).
Applications Information
Dimming Using EN1 and EN2Use EN1 and EN2 inputs as a digital 2-bit number to
control on/off, 1/10, 3/10, and full current (see Table 1).
RSETprograms the full current level (see the Setting the
Output Currentsection).
Dimming Using PWM into EN1Use EN2 for shutdown and drive EN1 with a PWM sig-
nal. Current can be varied from 1/10 to full. The wave-
forms in the Typical Operating Characteristics show the
response time of dimming. EN2 keeps the part on, elimi-
nating any soft-start delay that would impede PWM con-
trol, allowing a PWM frequency up to 50kHz (Figure 1).
Dimming Using a Filtered PWM SignalUse a high-frequency PWM signal to drive an R-C-R fil-
ter on the SET pin (Figure 2). A 0% PWM duty cycle
corresponds to 18.7mA/LED, while a 100% PWM duty
cycle corresponds to 0mA/LED. At PWM frequencies
above 5kHz, C3 may be reduced.
Input RippleFor LED drivers, input ripple is more important than out-
put ripple. Input ripple depends on the source supply’s
impedance. Adding a lowpass filter to the input further
reduces input ripple. Figure 3 shows a C-R-C filter used
to reduce input ripple to less than 2mVP-Pwhen driving
a 75mA load. Alternately, increasing CINto 2.2µF or
4.7µF yields input ripple of 17mVP-Por 9mVP-P, respec-
tively, with only a small increase in footprint. The 1x
mode always has very low input ripple.xVLEDSET_.=⎛⎜⎞⎟06
