High-Efficiency, 32V Step-Up Converters with TA Derating Option for 2 to 8 White LEDs
General DescriptionThe MAX8595Z/MAX8596Z drive up to 8 white LEDs
with constant current and high efficiency to provide
LCD backlighting in cell phones, PDAs, and other
handheld devices. The series connection allows the
LED currents to be identical for uniform brightness and
minimizes the number of traces to the LEDs. The
MAX8595Z regulates constant LED current over the
entire temperature range. The MAX8596Z features an
ambient-temperature derating function to avoid over-
driving the white LEDs during high ambient tempera-
tures, enabling higher drive current below +42°C.
A single Dual Mode™ input provides a simple means of
brightness adjustment and on/off control. Fast 1MHz
current-mode PWM operation allows for small input and
output capacitors and a small inductor while minimizing
ripple on the input supply/battery. Soft-start eliminates
inrush current during startup.
The MAX8595Z/MAX8596Z are available in a space-
saving, 8-pin 3mm x 3mm TDFN package.

Pin Description
PINNAMEFUNCTIONOUT
Overvoltage Sense. When VOUT is greater than 34V (typ), the internal n-channel MOSFET turns off
until VOUT drops below 32V (typ), then the IC re-enters soft-start. Connect a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor
from OUT to ground. In shutdown, VOUT is one diode drop below VIN.
2INInput Voltage Supply. The input voltage range is 2.6V to 5.5V. Connect a 2.2µF ceramic capacitor
from IN to GND.CTRL
Brightness Control Input. The voltage applied to CTRL controls LED brightness. Varying the voltage
from 0.24V to 1.65V (1.72V for the MAX8596Z) adjusts the brightness from dim to 100% brightness,
respectively. Any voltage above 1.65V (1.72V) does not increase brightness. Hold CTRL below
100mV to shut down the IC after an 8.2ms delay.
4CSCurrent-Sense Feedback Input. Connect a resistor from CS to GND to set the LED bias current. The
voltage at CS regulates to VCTRL / 5 or 0.330V (0.343V for the MAX8596Z), whichever is lower.COMP
Compensation Input. Connect a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor (CCOMP) from COMP to GND. CCOMP
stabilizes the converter, controls soft-start, and lowpass filters direct PWM dimming at CTRL. CCOMP
discharges to 0V through an internal 20kΩ resistor in shutdown.GNDGround. Connect to PGND and the exposed pad directly under the IC.PGNDPower Ground. Connect to GND and the exposed pad directly under the IC.
8LXInductor Connection. Connect LX to the node between the inductor and the Schottky diode. LX is
high impedance in shutdown.
—EPExposed Pad. Connect to a large ground plane for maximum package heat dissipation. Connect
directly to GND and PGND under the IC.

MAX8595Z/MAX8596Z
Detailed DescriptionThe high efficiency and small size of the MAX8595Z/
MAX8596Z make them ideally suited to drive up to 9
series-connected LEDs. These devices operate as a
boost DC-DC converter that regulates output current
rather than voltage. The MAX8595Z/MAX8596Z provide
even illumination by sourcing the same output current
through each LED, eliminating the need for expensive
factory calibration. The fast 1MHz internal oscillator
allows for a small inductor and small input and output
capacitors while minimizing input and output ripple.
The single analog control input (CTRL) allows easy
adjustment of LED brightness and on/off control. This
allows simple logic-level on/off control, analog voltage
control, or PWM duty-cycle control of both brightness
and shutdown. In shutdown, supply current is reduced
to a low 0.3µA (typ). A soft-start gradually illuminates
the LEDs, eliminating the inrush current during startup.
The MAX8596Z has the additional feature of derating
LED current as ambient temperature rises. Above
+42°C, the CS regulation voltage is reduced at a rate of
5.5mV/°C, thus reducing the LED current.
Soft-StartThe MAX8595Z/MAX8596Z attain soft-start by charging
CCOMPgradually with a current source. When VCOMP
rises above 1.25V, the internal MOSFET begins switch-
ing at a reduced duty cycle. When VCOMPrises above
2.25V, the duty cycle is at its maximum. See the
Typical Operating Characteristics for an example of
soft-start operation.
ShutdownThe MAX8595Z/MAX8596Z enter shutdown when VCTRL
is less than 100mV for more than 8.2ms. In shutdown,
supply current is reduced to 0.3µA (typ) by powering
down the entire IC except for the CTRL voltage-detec-
tion circuitry. CCOMPis discharged during shutdown,
allowing the device to re-initiate soft-start when it is
enabled. Although the internal n-channel MOSFET does
not switch in shutdown, there is still a DC current path
between the input and the LEDs through the inductor
and Schottky diode. The minimum forward voltage of the
LED array must exceed the maximum input voltage to
ensure that the LEDs remain off in shutdown. However,
with 2 or more LEDs, the forward voltage is large
enough to keep leakage current low, less than 1µA
(typ). Typical shutdown timing characteristics are shown
in the Typical Operating Characteristics.
Overvoltage ProtectionOvervoltage lockout (OVLO) occurs when VOUTis
above 34V (typ). The protection circuitry stops the inter-
nal MOSFET from switching and causes VCOMPto
decay towards 0V. The device comes out of OVLO and
into soft-start when VOUTfalls below 32V (typ).
Ambient Temperature Derating Function
(MAX8596Z)The MAX8596Z limits the maximum LED current
depending on the die temperature. VCSis limited to
343mV up to +42°C. Once the temperature reaches
+42°C, the maximum VCS declines by 5.5mV/°C until
the minimum 106.5mV threshold is reached at +85°C.
Due to the package’s exposed paddle, the die temper-
ature is always very close to the PC board temperature.
The temperature derating function allows the LED cur-
rent to be safely set higher at normal operating temper-
atures, thereby allowing either a brighter display or
fewer LEDs to be used for normal display brightness.

Current vs. Ambient Temperature.
