LDS8720
184 WLED Matrix Driver with Boost Converter
FEATURES
High efficiency boost converter with the input
voltage range from 2.7 to 5.5 V
No external Schottky Required (Internal
synchronous rectifier)
250 mV current sense voltage
Drives up to 10 LEDs per string
More than 180 LEDs in matrix
0.7 MHz Switching Frequency
Efficiency greater than 83%
PWM LED Dimming Control Mode
Over-voltage, under-voltage, over-current,
and over-temperature protection
Low Shutdown Current (<1µA)
Available in 2 x 3 x 0.8 mm 8-pin TDFN
package
The use of integrated synchronous rectifier makes
the efficiency dependent on only inductor DC
resistance. Under-voltage protection disables the part
when V
IN
voltage reaches 2.0 V.
PV
IN
voltage may be set equal V
IN
voltage or higher
up to 15 V to increase power capability of the driver.
Maximum number of LEDs in matrix depends on this
voltage as shown in the table below.
The LDS8720 has thermal shutdown set at 150 C.
Above this value , the boost converter stops
switching. The part resumes normal operations when
0
temperature drops below 130 C.
The over-current protection provides cycle-by-cycle
current limit.
The internal output over-voltage protection prevents
damage in the case of a faulty LED disconnect.
The PWM control ensures brightness adjustment with
a frequency from 100 Hz up to 30 KHz.
The EN/PWM logic input functions as a chip enable
and LED current PWM contol pin.
The device is available in 8-pin TDFN 2 x 3 mm
package with a max height of 0.8 mm.

PIN FUNCTION
V
IN
is the supply pin for the driver. A small 1
μ
F
ceramic bypass capacitor is required between the V
IN
pin and ground near the device. The operating input
voltage range is from 2.7 V to 5.5 V. If the input
supply voltage falls below the under-voltage
threshold, switch is disabled, and the device enters
shutdown mode.
HVB
is the internal high voltage reference point.
Connect a 4700 pF capacitor between this point and
V
OUT
.
EN/PWM
is the enable and PWM control logic input.
Guaranteed levels of logic high and logic low are set
at 1.4 V and 0.4 V respectively. When EN/PWM is
initially taken high, the device becomes enabled and
LED current sets to maximum programmed value..
To place the device into shutdown mode, the
EN/PWM pin must be held low for more than 10 ms.
V
OUT
is the driver output. Connect it to the LED
anode. A ceramic bypass capacitor of 1 µF requires
between the V
OUT
pin and ground near the device.
GND
is the ground reference for the analog circuits.
The pin must be connected to the ground plane on
the PCB. Avoid high currents flowing trough traces
connecting this pin with EN/PWM signal source.
PGND
is the current return for high current circuits.
The pin must be connected to the ground plane on
the PCB. Connect GND and PGND as close to the
driver as possible.
LEDS
is the Current Sense pin that provides internal
regulated current sink for LED string. Connect LED
string cathode to this pin. This pin enter high-
impedance zero current state whenever the device is
in shutdown mode.
PAD
is the exposed pad underneath the package.
For best thermal performance, the pad should be
soldered to the PCB and connected to the ground
plane
