Description
The FAN5607 generates regulated output current from a battery with input voltage varying between 2.7V to 5.5V.
Switch reconfiguration and fractional switching techniques
are utilized to achieve high efficiency over the entire input
voltage range. A proprietary internal circuitry continuously
monitors each LED current loop and automatically adjusts
the generated output DC voltage to the lowest minimum
value required by the LED having the highest forward voltage. This adaptive nature of the FAN5607 eliminates the
need for LED pre-selection (matching) and ensures operation at high efficiency. When the input voltage is sufficiently
high to sustain the programmed current level in the LEDs,
the FAN5607 re-configures itself to operate as a linear regulator, and the DC-DC converter is turned off. Only two 0.1µF
to 1µF bucket capacitors and two 4.7µF input/output capacitors are needed for proper operation. LED current can be
programmed using an external resistor. The resistor sets the
maximum LED current and a PWM signal applied to the
enable pin can modulate that current level between 0mA
(off) and the maximum level.
Soft-start circuitry prevents excessive current draw during
power on. The device has built-in short circuit protection.
The device is available in 4x4mm 16-lead MLP package.

Circuit Description
The FAN5607’s switched capacitor DC/DC converter automatically configures its internal switches to achieve high
efficiency and to provide tightly regulated output currents for
the LEDs. An analog detector determines which diode
requires the highest voltage in order to sustain the pre-set
current levels, and adjusts the pump regulator accordingly.
Every diode has its own linear current regulator. In addition,
a voltage regulator controls the output voltage when the battery voltage is within a range where linear regulation can
provide maximum possible efficiency. If the battery voltage
is too low to sustain the diode current in the linear mode, a
fractional 3:2 charge pump is enabled. When the battery
voltage drops further and this mode is no longer sufficient to
sustain proper operation, the pump is automatically reconfig-
the voltage decays, the FAN5607 switches between modes to
maintain a constant current through LED throughout the battery life. The transition has hysteresis to prevent toggling.
Supply Voltage
The internal supply voltage for the device is automatically
selected from VIN or V
Soft Start
The soft-start circuit limits inrush current when the device is
initially powered up and enabled. The reference voltage controls the rate of the output voltage ramp-up to its final value.
Typical start-up time is 0.4ms. The rate of the output voltage
ramp-up is controlled by an internally generated slow ramp,
and an internal variable resistor limits the input current.

Selecting Capacitors
It is important to select the appropriate capacitor types and
the values for use with the FAN5607. These capacitors determine parameters such as power efficiency, maximum sustainable load current by the charge pump, input and output
