SM8135A
White LED Driver IC
OVERVIEW
The SM8135A is a charge pump type white LED driver. It can drive 1 to 4 backlight white LED connected in
parallel, making it ideal for portable devices with small LCD. The charge pump switches between
×1
bypass
mode,
×1.5
and
×2
boost mode in response to LED drive current requirements. The boost switching occurs in
response to the drive current of all the connected LED and thus supports variations in LED forward-bias volt-
age drop (VF). Besides, the detection of switching is repeated in approx. 1sec-cycle by mode reset action, the
SM8135A can respond to temporary variation of supply voltage. These ingenuities on switching detection can
prolong the battery life to the fullest extent. Each LED drive current is controlled by a 4-channel LED drive
current control circuit. The LED drive current per channel is setup by external resistor. Moreover, the PWM
signal control of EN pin can realize nonstep brightness control (10% to 100%). The IC ON/OFF is controlled
by EN pin.

SM8135A
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
LED Drive Current Setting
The SM8135A LED drive current can be set using a combination of 2 methods: (1) current setting resistance
connected to ISET, and (2) PWM signal input control on the EN pin.
(1) Setting LED drive current using RSET
The LED drive maximum current value per LED (I
LED MAX
) is determined by the resistor (RSET) connected
to the ISET pin. The relationship between RSET and I
LED MAX
is given by the following equation.
I
LED MAX
[mA] = 2400/RSET [kΩ]
(For example, I
LED MAX
= 20mA when RSET = 120kΩ.)
The RSET resistance has a minimum rating of 60kΩ. At this value of resistance, the I
LED MAX
has a maximum
rating of 40mA/LED. However, note that the total LED drive current for all LEDs must not exceed 80mA.
