DESCRIPTION
The SP6682 is a current regulated charge pump ideal for converting a Li-Ion battery input for
driving white LEDs used in backlighting color displays or cell phone camera flash applications.
The charge pump automatically switches between X1.5 and X2 modes based on the program-
mable V
MODE
voltage, providing improved efficiency over traditional methods using charge pump
doubler followed by LDO. This input voltage threshold can be externally programmed by a resistor
divider network for optimized efficiency at specific output voltages and currents. The SP6682
operates with an internal 600kHz clock, which reduces switching noise and improves V
OUT
ripple.
Output current or voltage can be accurately regulated by modulating the switcher between the
charge pump and output capacitor. In shutdown mode, the IC disconnects the output from the
input and draws less than 1.5µA current. The SP6682 is offered in a 10-pin MSOP package, and
a small 10-Pin DFN Package.

OPERATION
GENERAL OVERVIEW
The SP6682 is a current regulated charge
pump ideal for converting a Li-Ion battery
input for driving white LEDs used in back-
lighting color displays, Cell Phone Camera
Flash, PDAs, digital cameras and MP3 play-
ers. The SP6682ʼs proprietary AutoBoost
feature enables the IC to automatically trans-
ition from X1.5 boost mode to X2 boost mode
based on battery input voltage for optimal
efficiency and performance. The SP6682 is
able to efficiently drive up to six 20mA white
LEDs in parallel and maintain a constant
brightness over a very wide operating voltage
range (2.7V to 5.5V). The SP6682 operates
with an internal 600kHz clock, enabling
the use of small external components.
Other features of SP6682 include PWM
dimming control as well as complete input/out
disconnect in shutdown. In shutdown mode
the IC draws less than
1.5µA current. The output regulation is
achieved by sensing the voltage at the
feedback pin and modulating the switcher
between the charge pump and output
capacitor.
an input voltage to the mode comparator
which sets the logic state of the mode selec-
tion outputs to the X2 or X1.5 modes. V
MODE
is compared to a 1.25V bandgap voltage.
For example, if one makes a 158K½/100K½½
divider, the mode will change at 2.58 x 1.25
V = 3.23V. A comparator-based cycle-by-
cycle regulation ensures that no mode
change occurs during cycles.
3) Clock Manager.
An internal 600 kHz
clock is generated in this block. Depending
on the mode control, the appropriate clock
phasing is generated here and sent to the
start-up and charge-pump switches block.
4) Start-up and Charge Pump Switches.
During start-up, until the reference is estab-
lished, this block keeps the charge pump
inactive. During this period the output stays
floating, and by consequence the charge
pump drivers are now referenced to V
OUT
.
Charging of the output will occur (e.g. when
V
IN
is ramped up to 4.2V, V
OUT
ramps only
up to about 3V), but not to the value of V
IN
,
protecting the White LEDs from experienc-
ing high input voltages. Another important
operation of this block is the PWM/EN dim-
ming control, which is implemented in the
delay of each pump driver, so that the
enable high pulse width is proportional to
the delay of the individual pump switches.
5) V
OUT
Comparator and Output Control.
A 306mV reference voltage is compared to
feedback output voltage to control the V
OUT
needed for the application. Output current is
set by a bias resistor from FB pin to GND pin
chosen by the relationship:
I
= V
FB
OUT
THEORY OF OPERATION
The SP6682 regulated charge pump block
diagram consists of four main blocks
(Voltage Reference, Mode Control, Clock
Manager, Start-up and Charge-Pump
Switches) and two comparators (V
MODE
Comparator and V
OUT
Comparator).
1) Voltage Reference.
This block provides
the 306mV and 1.25V reference voltages
needed for the two comparators.
2) Mode Control.
An external voltage di-
vider connected to the V
MODE
pin will define
R
FB
where V
FB
= 306mV.
