Description
The FAN5616 generates a regulated output current from
a battery with an input voltage between 2.7V to 5.5V.
Switch reconfiguration and fractional switching tech-
niques are utilized to achieve high efficiency over the
entire input voltage range. The adaptive nature of the
built-in charge pump eliminates the need for LED pre-
selection (matching) and ensures operation with high
efficiency. The driver's built-in, proprietary, auto-sense
circuitry ensures the same high efficiency regardless of
the number of LEDs. When the input voltage is suffi-
ciently high to sustain the LED’s programmed current
level, the FAN5616 reconfigures itself to operate as a lin-
ear regulator, and the charge pump is turned off.
The FAN5616 supports both digital and PWM LED
brightness control methods. The built-in 2-bit DAC offers
a selection of four LED current levels, each level is a per-
centage of the maximum LED current set by the external
R
SET
resistor.
The FAN5616 includes built-in shutdown, short circuit
and thermal protection circuitry. A built-in smart soft-start
circuitry prevents excessive current draw during power
on while allowing for an increased PWM frequency for
dimming.
Minimal external components are required. Only two
0.1µF to 1µF bucket capacitors, a 4.7µF input capacitor
and a 1µF output capacitor are needed for proper opera-
tion.
The FAN5616 is available in a 3x3mm 16-lead MLP
package.

Notes:
1. Stresses above those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. This
is a stress rating only and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions above those indicated
in the operational section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for
extended periods may affect device reliability. Absolute maximum ratings apply individually only, not in combination.
Unless otherwise specified all other voltages are referenced to GND.
2. Junction to ambient thermal resistance,
θ
JA
, is a strong function of PCB material, board thickness, thickness
and number of via used, diameter of via used, available copper surface, and attached heat sink characteristics.
A reasonable estimated value for
θ
JA
for zero air flow at 0.5W is 60°C/W.
3. Using Mil Std. 883E, method 3015.7(Human Body Model) and EIA/JESD22C101-A (Charge Device Model).
