High-Efficiency Step-Up Converters
for White LED Main and Subdisplay Backlighting
General Description
The MAX1582/MAX1582Y drive up to six white LEDs in
series with a constant current to provide display back-
lighting for two (main and sub-) displays in cell phones
and other handheld devices. This configuration elimi-
nates the need for ballast resistors and expensive fac-
tory calibration. The proprietary dual-output, step-up
pulse-width modulation (PWM) converter includes a low
R
DSON
n-channel MOSFET switch for high efficiency and
maximum battery life.
The MAX1582/MAX1582Y utilize 1MHz current-mode
PWM control to allow small input and output capacitors
and a small inductor, while minimizing ripple on the input
supply and avoiding interference to sensitive circuitry in
the equipment. Integrated overvoltage protection (27V
for the MAX1582 and 18V for the MAX1582Y) eliminates
the need for an external zener diode to protect the IC
from open circuit. Flexible dimming control utilizes either
an analog control signal or direct digital PWM control
without external RC filtering. This also increases dimming
accuracy at low brightness levels. The PWM dimming
signal can be any frequency from 200Hz to 200kHz. Soft-
start eliminates inrush current during startup.
The MAX1582/MAX1582Y are available in tiny 4

chip-scale (UCSP™) and 12-pin thin QFN packages.

FUNCTION
Input Voltage Supply. Input voltage range is 2.6V to 5.5V. Connect a 2.2µF capacitor from V+ to
PGND.
High-Current Input Supply. Connect to V+.
Brightness Control Input. LED brightness is controlled by the voltage applied to CTRL. Varying the
voltage from 0 to +1.62V adjusts the brightness from dim to bright, respectively. Any voltage
above +1.62V does not increase brightness.
Compensation Input. Connect a 0.022µF capacitor (C
COMP
) from COMP to GND. C
COMP
stabilizes the converter and controls soft-start. C
COMP
discharges to GND when in shutdown.
Ground. Connect to PGND at a single point near the IC.
Enable 1 Input. Drive EN1 high to enable the main-display LEDs. Pull EN1 low to turn off the main-
display LEDs. Pull both EN1 and EN2 low to place the IC in low-current shutdown mode.
Enable 2. Drive EN2 high to enable the subdisplay LEDs. Pull EN2 low to turn off the subdisplay
LEDs. Pull both EN1 and EN2 low to place the IC in low-current shutdown mode.
Current-Sense Feedback Input. Connect a resistor (R
SENSE
) from CS to GND to set the LED bias
current. The voltage at CS regulates to V
CTRL
/ 10 or +0.162V, whichever is lower.
Display Switch Output. OUT2 is internally connected to CS when only the main display is lit. OUT2
is internally connected to OUT1 when only the subdisplay is lit. OUT2 is high impedance when
both displays are lit and when the IC is shut down.
Overvoltage Sense. When V
OUT1
is greater than 27V (18V on the MAX1582Y), the internal
n-channel MOSFET turns off until V
OUT1
drops below 25V (16.7V on the MAX1582Y), then the IC
re-enters soft-start. Connect a 0.1µF capacitor from OUT1 to PGND.
Inductor Connection. During shutdown, this pin is high impedance.
Power Ground. Connect to GND at a single point near the IC.
Exposed Paddle. Connect directly to GND and PGND under the IC.
