SM8150A
PMIC with White LED Driver
1. OVERVIEW
The SM8150A is a charge pump type white LED driver, with 2-system programmable LDOs (Low Dropout
Regulator), and step-down DC/DC converter power management IC. The white LED driver provides constant-
current drive for 1 to 6 backlight white LED connected in parallel and 1 torch/strobe white LED. The charge
pump automatically selects between
×1
mode,
×1.5
boost mode, and
×2
boost mode in response to battery volt-
age, LED drive current, and VF
LED
(LED forward bias voltage drop) conditions in order to extend battery
drive life. The SM8150A operating mode settings are accessed using an I

C
*1
interface, allowing LED drive
current, LDO voltage, output ON/OFF, and other settings to be controlled from a microcontroller.

*1. Connect to ground when no LED is connected.
*2. Connect to a supply with
≥
1.8mA drive current capability. If pull-up resistors Rup are connected to SCL, SDA, and SBN, the current
consumption increases by the amount flowing through the pull-up resistances only. The current component for each of the 3 pins is
given by Iup [mA] = VEN [V] / Rup [kΩ].
*3. Pull-up or pull-down resistances are not built-in.
*4. Leave open circuit when not used (do not connect to ground).

*1. Supply voltage and I

(LED)
When the white LED drive current is increased, the required supply voltage also increases. The supply is automatically switched in charge pump boost
mode, and cannot be manually selected. The forward-bias voltage drop VF of the LED is assumed to be
≤
3.5V.

*2. Torch and Strobe
Pin DIN7 is provided for connection to a high-current white LED. Two types of light modulation (dimming) data are available, switched by the SBN input
voltage. When SBN is HIGH, torch mode is selected. When SBN is LOW, strobe mode is selected. The recommended operating condition is high cur-
rent with short ON times in strobe mode, and low current with longer ON times in torch mode. In strobe mode (SBN = LOW), high-current supply is the
main priority and, therefore, the current consumption is not optimized (see “Torch/Strobe Selecting”).
