Product Description
The CM9140 is an adaptive fractional switched capaci-
tor (charge pump) regulator optimized for driving four
white LEDs. Each LED's driver current is matched to
within 2% for uniform intensity. The CM9140 supports
an input voltage range of 2.9V to 5.5V with undervolt-
age lockout. A failure detection circuit prevents the loss
of power when one or more LEDs fail (short or open).
Internal over-temperature and over-current manage-
ment provide short circuit protection.
The CM9140 regulates up to 300mA of output current
to drive WLEDs, allowing up to 50mA per LED chan-
nel. The maximum LED current is programmed with an
external resistor. The EN input allows for Analog and
PWM brightness control. The CM9140 can also be
used for a camera flash. In full shutdown mode, the
CM9140 draws only 10µA.
The CM9140 automatically selects the most efficient
charge pump ratio based on the operating voltage
requirement of the white LEDs. The proprietary design
architecture maintains high efficiency (> 80%), and at
low VIN provides longer battery life. With a high VIN, or
when the adapter is powered, it provides cool reliable
operation.
The CM9140 is available in a compact, 16-lead TQFN-
package. It can operate over the industrial temperature
range of –40°C to 85°C.

Cathode of LED1 pin.
This pin is the plus side of charge pump bucket capacitor C1. Connect a 1.0μF ceramic
capacitor with a voltage rating of 10V or greater between C1N and C1P.
Positive supply voltage input pin. This voltage should be between 2.9V and 5.5V. This
pin requires a 1.0μF or larger ceramic capacitor to ground.

Enable pin and Current set pin for drivers, active low.
To set the LED current, a resistor, R
SET
, is connected between this pin and ground. The
regulated LED current is 1000x the current flowing in R
SET
, and is approximately:
