White LED 1x/1.5x Charge Pump in
UCSP and Thin QFN
General Description
The 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.

1x/1.5x REGULATED CHARGE PUMP
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 (R
SET
) programs the full-scale LED
current, while two digital inputs control on/off and pro-
vide brightness control.

The 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.

Detailed Description
The MAX1573 is a complete charge-pump buck-boost
converter requiring only four small ceramic capacitors.
The 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.
