SGM3122
White LED Charge Pump Current
Source with PWM Brightness Control
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SGM3122 is a charge pump with PWM brightness
control for white LED supplies in LCD display backlight
applications. The supply voltage ranges from 2.7V to
5.5V, it is ideally suited for all applications powered by a
single Li-ion battery cell or three to four NiCd, NiMH, or
alkaline battery cells.
The device provides a constant current for each LED,
and the initial current value can be set by an external
resistor. High efficiency is achieved by utilizing a 1×/1.5×
fractional conversion technique in combination with very
low dropout current sources.
The SGM3122 is capable of driving up to four channels of
LEDs at 30mA per channel from a 2.7V to 5.5V input.
Additionally, the current controlled charge pump ensures
low input current ripple and EMI. A low external part
count (two 0.47µF flying capacitors and two small 1µF
capacitors at VIN and VOUT) makes this part ideally
suited for small, battery-powered applications.
The SGM3122 is available in a Green TQFN-3×3-16L
package, and is rated over the -40°C to +85°C
temperature range.

NOTE:
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum
Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These
are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at
these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the
operational sections of the specifications is not implied.
Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended
periods may affect device reliability.
CAUTION
This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD if you don’t pay
attention to ESD protection. SGMICRO recommends that all
integrated circuits be handled with appropriate precautions.
Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures
can cause damage. ESD damage can range from subtle
performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision
integrated circuits may be more susceptible to damage because
very small parametric changes could cause the device not to
meet its published specifications.
SGMICRO reserves the right to make any change in circuit
design, specification or other related things if necessary without
notice at any time. Please contact SGMICRO sales office to get
the latest datasheet.

FUNCTION
Connect a resistor between this pin and GND to set the maximum current through the
LEDs.
No internal connection.
Current sink input. Connect the cathode of the white LEDs to these inputs.
Power ground.
Connect the output capacitor and the anode of the LEDs to this pin.
Connect to the flying capacitor C2.
Connect to the flying capacitor C1.
Connect to the flying capacitor C1.
Connect to the flying capacitor C2.
Supply voltage input.
Analog ground.
Enable input. A logic high enables the converter, logic low forces the device into
shutdown mode reducing the supply current to less than 1μA if EN2 is tied to GND.
An applied PWM signal reduces the LED current as a function of the duty cycle of the
PWM signal. EN1 and EN2 can be tied together for PWM dimming between 0mA and the
maximum set with ISET. EN1 and EN2 can also be used for digital dimming with 4 steps
from 0mA to the maximum current set with ISET.
Connect with PGND and GND.
