TB62736FUG
Step-up Type DC-DC Converter for White LEDs
The TB62736FUG is a high efficiency step-up type DC-DC
converter that is designed especially for use as a constant current
driver of white LEDs.
It is possible to drive 2 to 6 white LEDs connected in series using
a lithium-ion battery.
This IC incorporates an N-ch-MOS FET transistor required for
switching of an external inductor.
The forward current of the LEDs can be controlled by an external
resistor.
This IC is best suited for use as a driver of white LED back
lighting in color LCDs in PDAs, cellular phones and handy
terminal devices.

Protection at the time of LED opening
The zener diode in the application circuit example is necessary for the provision of over-voltage protection in the
event the LED becomes open. As the IC does not incorporate a voltage protection circuit, it is strongly advised that
a zener diode be connected.
The zener diode should satisfy the following conditions:
i)
Less than maximum output voltage of 24 V
ii) Greater than the total series LED V
F
iii) Less than the maximum output capacitance C
2
.
Moreover, by connecting a protection circuit such as R_ZD in the figure below, it is possible to control the output
current when the LED becomes open, and to use a zener diode of lower tolerance.

Control of I

The resistance RSENS is connected between the FB pin and the GND pin.
The average current is controlled by the RSENS value, and calculated using the following equation:
I
F
(mA) = [ 325 mV / RSENS(Ω) ]
Margin of error is ±5%.
Current control using SHDN pin
The IF current set by the RSENS pin resistance can be varied in the range of 25 to 100%.
Linearity error at VA conversion is ±10%.

Dimming using PWM signal input
A dimming function can also by applied using a PWM signal.
[Notes]
▪When
using a PWM signal, the minimum pulse width of the PWM should be greater than 33μs.
▪Duty
ratio of PWM function should be set at 10% to 90%.
▪The
recommended PWM frequency should be 100 Hz to 10 kHz.
