6 / 12 page LTC3214 6 3214fa OPERATIO Figure 1. Charge Pump Open-Loop Thevenin-Equivalent Circuit – + + – CPO 3214 F01 ROL 1.5VIN OR 2VIN The LTC3214 uses a fractional switched capacitor charge pump to power a high current LED with a programmed regulated current. The part starts up into the 1x mode. In this mode, VIN is directly connected to CPO. This mode provides maximum efficiency and minimum noise. The LTC3214 will remain in this mode until the forward voltage (VF) approaches the maximum CPO voltage possible in this mode. When this dropout condition occurs, the LTC3214 will switch to 1.5x mode after a soft-start period. Any subsequent dropout detected will cause the part to enter 2x mode. A two phase nonoverlapping clock activates the charge pump switches. In the 2x mode, the flying capacitors are charged on alternate clock phases from VIN. While one capacitor is being charged from VIN, the other is stacked on top of VIN and connected to the output. Alternatively, in the 1.5x mode the flying capacitors are charged in series during the first clock phase, and stacked in parallel on top of VIN on the second clock phase. This sequence of charging and discharging the flying capacitors continues at a free running frequency of 900kHz (typ). The current delivered to the LED load is controlled by the internal programmable current source. The current is programmed by a resistor connected between the ISET pin and GND. The resistor value needed to attain the desired current level can be determined by Equation 1. RSET = 3570/ILED (1) Overcurrent shutdown mode will prevent damage to the part by shutting down the high power sections of the chip. Choosing an RSET value of 5k or greater will ensure that the part stays out of this mode. Regulation is achieved by sensing the voltage at the ILED pin and modulating the charge pump strength based on the error signal. In shutdown mode all circuitry is turned off and the LTC3214 draws a very low current from the VIN supply. The output is disconnected from VIN and is pulled down by a resistance of approximately 43k Ω. The LTC3214 enters shutdown mode when the EN pin is brought low. Thermal Protection The LTC3214 has built-in overtemperature protection. Thermal shutdown circuitry will shut down the part when the junction temperature exceeds approximately 165 °C. It will re-enable the part once the junction temperature drops back to approximately 150 °C. The LTC3214 will cycle in and out of thermal shutdown indefinitely without latch up or damage until the heat source is removed. Short-Circuit Protection When EN is brought high, the part will connect VIN and CPO through a weak pull-up. If the CPO capacitor fails to charge up to over 1V (i.e. CPO is shorted), the chip will not be enabled. Similarly, during operation if CPO is pulled down below 1V, the part will be disabled. Soft-Start To prevent excessive inrush current during start-up and mode switching, the LTC3214 employs built-in soft-start circuitry. Soft-start is achieved by increasing the amount of current available to the output charge storage capacitor linearly over a period of approximately 150 µs. Charge Pump Strength When the LTC3214 operates in either the 1.5x mode or 2x mode, the charge pump can be modeled as a Thevenin equivalent circuit to determine the amount of current available from the effective input voltage and effective open-loop output resistance, ROL(Figure 1). |
