DescripTion
The LTC
®
3212 is a low noise charge pump RGB LED
driver capable of driving three LEDs up to 25mA each
from a 2.7V to 5.5V input. Low external part count (one
flying capacitor, two bypass capacitors and one to three
programming resistors) makes the LTC3212 ideally suited
for small, battery-powered applications.
Built-in soft-start circuitry prevents excessive inrush cur-
rent during start-up and mode switching. High switching
frequency enables the use of small external capacitors.
The charge pump shuts down to a high impedance mode
to prevent LED leakage while the LTC3212 is off.
Each LED may be individually turned on or off via a single
pin interface. The current through the LEDs may be indi-
vidually programmed with resistors or may share a single
programming resistor. White mode adjusts the red, green
and blue LED current ratios for a white light when all three
LEDs are programmed to be on.
LED currents are regulated using internal low dropout
current sources. Automatic mode switching optimizes
efficiency by monitoring the LED current drivers and
switches mode only when dropout is detected. The part
is available in a 3mm
×
2mm 12-lead DFN package.

Note 4:
This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction
temperature may impair device reliability.
Note 5:
If the LTC3212 has been shut down, then the initial enable time
is longer due to the bandgap settling time and the CPO output capacitor
soft-start time.

pin FuncTions
CP, CM (Pins 1, 11):
Charge Pump Flying Capacitor Pins.
A 1µF X5R or X7R ceramic capacitor should be connected
from CP to CM.
CPO (Pin 2):
CPO is the output of the charge pump. A 1µF
X5R or X7R ceramic capacitor is required from CPO to
GND. While operating, this pin will supply current to the
LEDs and while in shutdown mode this pin will be high
impedance.
LEDEN (Pin 3):
The LEDEN pin is used to program, enable
and shut down the part. A 3µA internal current source
pulls this pin to ground.
I
SETB
, I
SETR
, I
SETG
(Pins 4, 5, 6):
LED current program-
ming resistor pins. A resistor connected between a pin
and GND is used to set the LED current. A resistor from
I
SETG
to GND is required. Resistors on I
SETR
and I
SETB
are optional. If I
SETR
and/or I
SETB
is not connected to a
resistor I
SETR
’s and/or I
SETB
’s respective output(s) will be
automatically programmed by the resistor connected to
I
SETG
. If I
SETR
or I
SETB
is unused the pin should be con-
nected to V
IN
.
LEDG, LEDR, LEDB (Pins 7, 8, 9):
These pins are
the LED current output pins. The LEDs are connected
from either the charge pump or V
IN
(anode) to LED
(R, G, B) (cathode).
GND (Pin 10):
This pin should be connected directly to a
low impedance ground plane.
V
IN
(Pin 12):
Supply voltage for the LTC3212. V
IN
should
be bypassed with a low impedance ceramic capacitor to
GND of at least 1µF of capacitance.
Exposed Pad (Pin 13):
GND. The Exposed Pad must be
soldered to a low impedance ground plane for optimum
performance.
