Product Description
The CM9142 is an adaptive fractional switched capaci-
tor (charge pump) regulator optimized for driving two
groups, 4 and 2, of white LEDs Each group features
individual ON/OFF controls and individually set current.
Each LED’s driver current is matched to within 2% for
uniform intensity. It supports an input voltage range of
2.9V to 6V, with undervoltage lockout. A failure detec-
tion circuit prevents the loss of power when one or
more LEDs fail (short or open). Internal over-tempera-
ture and over-current management provide short circuit
protection.
The CM9142 regulates up to 300mA of output current
to drive WLEDs, allowing up to 50mA per LED channel.
The maximum LED current for each group is pro-
grammed with external resistors. Master plus two inde-
pendent enable inputs allows for Analog and PWM
brightness control for each display. Either display can
also be used for a camera flash. In full shutdown mode,
the CM9142 draws only 10μA.
The CM9142 automatically selects the most efficient
charge pump ratio based on the operating voltage
requirement of the white LEDs. The proprietary design
architecture maintains high efficiency (> 80%), and at
low V
IN
provides longer battery life. With a high V
IN,
or
when the adapter is powered, it provides cool reliable
operation.
The CM9142 is available in a compact 16 lead TQFN
package. It can operate over the industrial temperature
range of -40°C to 85°C.

Cathode of LED1 pin.
This pin is the plus side of charge pump bucket capacitor C1. Connect a 1.0μF
ceramic capacitor with a voltage rating of 10V or greater between C1N and C1P.
Positive supply voltage input pin. This voltage should be between 2.9V and 6V.
This pin requires a 1.0μF or larger ceramic capacitor to ground.
Current set and shutdown pin for drivers, active low.Pull high to shutdown the
group.
To set the LED current, a resistor, R
SET
, is connected between this pin and ground.
The regulated LED current is 1000x the current flowing in R
