AIC3643 is a current-mode pulse-widthmodulation (PWM), step-up DC/DC converter
designed to drive white LEDs with a constant
current to provide backlight in hand-held devices.
Series connection of LEDs provides identical
LED currents resulting in uniform brightness.
This configuration eliminates the need of ballast
resistors. The built-in open load protection
prevents the damage resulting from an open
circuit condition. Also low 100mV feedback
voltage minimizes power loss in the current
setting resistor for better efficiency.

AIC3643 is a step-up PWM converter, which
includes an internal N-channel MOSFET switch
for high efficiency. The high switching frequency,
1.2MHz, allows the use of tiny external
components.
Note 1: Specifications are production tested at TA=25°C. Specifications over the -40°C to 85°C operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation with Statistical Quality
Controls (SQC).

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Inductor Selection
A 6.8μH inductor is recommended for most
AIC3643 applications. Although small size and
high efficiency are major concerns, the inductor
should have low core losses at 1.2MHz and low
DCR (copper wire resistance). It is important to
ensure the inductor saturation current exceeding
the peak inductor current in application to prevent
core saturation. For CCM (Continuous Conduction
Mode) operation, the peak inductor current can be
calculated from:

Capacitor Selection
The small size of ceramic capacitors makes them
ideal for AIC3643 applications. X5R and X7R
types are recommended because they retain their
capacitance over wider ranges of voltage and
temperature than other types, such as Y5V or
Z5U. 1
μF input capacitor with 3.3μF output
capacitor are sufficient for most AIC3643
applications.
Diode Selection
Schottky diodes, with their low forward voltage
drop and fast reverse recovery, are the ideal
choices for AIC3643 applications. The forward
voltage drop of an Schottky diode represents the
conduction losses in the diode, while the diode
capacitance (C
T or CD) r epresents the switching
losses. For diode selection, both forward voltage
drop and diode capacitance need to be
considered. In addition, the rating of selected
Schottky diode should be able to handle the
output voltage and the maximum peak diode
current.
LED Current Control
LED current is controlled by feedback resistor
(R
in Figure 1). The feedback reference voltage
FB
is 100mV. The LED current is 100mV/R
FB
. In
order to have accurate LED current, precision
resistors are preferred (1% recommended). The
formula for R
R=
FB
selection is shown below.
FB
mV100
I
LED
Open-Circuit Protection
In the cases of output open circuit, when the LEDs
are disconnected from the circuit or the LEDs fail,
the feedback voltage will be zero. AIC3643 will
then switch to a high duty cycle resulting in a high
output voltage, which may cause SW pin voltage
to exceed its maximum 33V rating. Connect builtin OVP (Over Voltage Protection) pin to output
terminal to prevent the damage resulting from an
open circuit condition.
Dimming Control
There are three different ways of dimming control
circuits as follows:
1. Using a PWM signal
PWM brightness control provides the widest
dimming range by pulsing the LEDs on and off at
full and zero current, respectively. The change of
average LED current depends on the duty cycle of
the PWM signal. Typically, a 0.1kHz to 2kHz
PWM signal is used. Two applications of PWM
dimming with AIC3643 are shown in Figure 14
and Figure 15. One, as Figure 14, uses PWM
signal to drive
control. The other, as Figure 15, employs PWM
signal going through a resistor to drive FB pin. If
the
SHDN pin is used, the increase of duty cycle
results in LED brightness enhancement. If the FB
pin is used, on the contrary, the increase of duty
cycle will decrease its brightness. In this
application, LEDs are dimmed by FB pin and
turned off completely by
2. Using a DC Voltage
For some applications, the preferred method of a
dimming control uses a variable DC voltage to
adjust LED current. The dimming control using a
DC voltage is shown in Figure 16. With a V
SHDN pin directly for dimming
SHDN.
DC

Page 9
μ
AIC3643
ranging from 0V to 5V, the selection of resistors in
Figure 16 results in dimming control of LED
current from 20mA to 0mA, respectively.
3. Using a Filtered PWM Signal
Filtered PWM signal can be considered as an
adjustable DC voltage. It can be used to replace
the variable DC voltage source in dimming
control. The circuit is shown in Figure 17.
Layout Consideration
In order to ensure a proper operation of AIC3643,
the following points should be managed
comprehensively.
1. The input capacitor and V
should be placed

as close as possible to each other to reduce
the input ripple voltage.
2. The output loop, which is consisted of the
inductor, the internal power switch, the
Schottky diode and the output capacitor,
should be kept as small as possible.
3. The routes with large current should be kept
short and wide.
4. Logically the large current on the converter
should flow at the same direction.
5. The FB pin should be connected to the
feedback resistors directly and the route
should be away from the noise sources.
