Product Description
The CM9321 is a high frequency, three-channel inductor-
based PWM boost regulator specifically designed for con-
stant current white LED and constant voltage OLED drive
applications. With a maximum 19V/140mA output capabil-
ity, the circuit can drive up to 10 WLEDs (5 series x 2 par-
allel) and one OLED, allowing up to 35 mA per channel.
With an input voltage range from 2.7V to 6.0V, it can oper-
ate from a single cell Li-Ion battery.
The proprietary
FlexBoost™
architecture (patent pending)
provides high efficiency (typical 85%) for a wide input volt-
age range, even for asymmetrical channel loads in term of
LED number, LED current and LED type. A standard (non-
interleave) version is also available using a MODE selec-
tion pin (not availalbe fo mass production). The maximum
LED current and OLED voltage for each channel is inde-
pendently programmed with external low-power resistors
(no ballast resistors needed).
A 1 MHz constant frequency PWM saves board space,
allowing small, low-cost external components which per-
mits designers to avoid sensitive IF bands in RF applica-
tions. The output over-voltage protection circuit prevents
damage in the case of a high impedance output (e.g.
faulty LED). The controlled current limit circuit prevents
large inductor current spikes, even at start-up. To avoid
possible leakage currents the EN control pin disconnects
the LEDs from ground during shutdown.
The CM9321 is available in a compact TQFN-16 package.
It can operate over the industrial temperature range of -
40°C to 85°C.

Note 5: [ILED(set) - ILED(effective)]/ILED(set) for each channel.
Note 6: A ILED value below 0.6 mA for each channel set the circuit in no-load mode; all channels and MOSFET switch are in shut-
down and DC circuit current consumption is limited to 1 mA (see quiescent current).
Note 7: For non-interleave mode, all parameters have the same min/typ/max interleave mode values, unless otherwise specified.
