Description
MCP1643 is a compact, high-efficiency, fixed
frequency , sy nchronous st ep-up converte r optimized to
drive one LED with consta nt current, that operate s from
one and two-cell alkaline and NiMH/NiCd batteries.
The device can also drive two red/green/yellow series
connection LEDs.

The device features an output overvoltage protection
that limits the ou tput volt age to 5.0V typ ical, in ca se the
LED fails or output load is disconnected.
The LED will either be turned OFF or turned ON using
the enable input. A T rue Outpu t Load Disconne ct mode
provides input-to-output isolation while Shutdown

the EN pin for dimming applications.
The device also features a thermal shutdown at
+150°C, with +25°C hysteresis.
Two package options, MSOP-8 and 2x3 DFN-8, are
available.

4.0DETAILED DESCRIPTION
4.1Device Overview
The MCP1643 is capable of starting up with a low voltage, while achieving high efficiency to drive one or
more LEDs with constant current.
The MCP1643 is a fixed frequency, synchronous
step-up converter, with a low voltage reference of
120 mV, optimized to keep the output current constant
by regulating the voltage across the feedback resistor
(R
).
SET
The normal boost converter with a high voltage
reference has a high voltage drop across the current
sense resistor. The power dissipated in the sense
resistor reduces the efficiency of a LED driver solution.
Therefore, the voltage drop on the sense resistor used
to regulate the LED cur rent mu st be low, in this c ase by

4.2Function al Description
The MCP1643 is a compact, high-efficiency, fixed
frequency, step-up DC-DC converter that operates as a
constant current gen erat or for appl icati ons powe red by
either one or two-cell, alkaline, NiCd, or NiMH
batteries.
Figure 4-1 depicts the functional block diagram of the
The MCP1643 LE D Constant Current D river is c ap able
of starting from a lo w-i np ut v oltag e. Start-up v oltag e is
typically 0.65V for a 25 mA LED load.
For applications in which the device turns on and off
fast, the start-up voltage is lower than 0.65V, because
the output capacitor remains partially charged. After
start-up, the device operates down to 0.5V input.
There is no Undervoltage-Lockout feature for the
MCP1643 LED Constant Current Driver. The device
will start up at the low est possible vol tage and run down
to the lowest possible voltage.
When enabled, the internal start-up logic turns the
rectifying P-Channel switch on until the output
capacitor is charged to a value close to the input
voltage. The r ectifying s witch is cur rent limite d during
this time. After charging the output capacitor to the
input voltage, the device starts switching in open loop,

4.2.2PWM MODE OPERATION
The MCP1643 LED Constant Current Driver operates
as a fixed frequency, synchronous boost converter . The
switching frequency is internally maintained with a
precision oscillator typically set to 1 MHz. Because the
LEDs require high currents, the device will work in
PWM Continuous mode. At very low LED currents, the
MCP1643 might run in PWM Discontinuous mode. As
it features an anti -ringin g c ontro l, the switc hing noise is
low. The P-Channel switch acts as a synchronous
rectifier, by turning off to prevent reverse current flow
from the output cap back to the input in order to keep
efficiency high.
Lossless current sensing converts the peak current
signal to a voltage to sum with the internal slope
compensation. Thi s su mm ed s ign al is compared to th e
voltage error amplifier output to provide a peak current
control command for the PWM signal. The slope
compensation is adaptive to the input and output
voltage. Therefore, the converter provides the proper
amount of slope com pensation to ensure stability , but is
not excessive, which causes a loss of phase margin.
The peak current limit is set to 1.6 A typical.
4.2.3ADJUSTABLE OUTPUT LED
CURRENT
The MCP1643 LED’s current is adjustable with an
external resistor , c alled R

4.2.4ENABLE
The enable pin is used to turn the boost converter on
and off. The enable threshold voltage varies with input
voltage. To enable the boost converter, the EN voltage
level must be greater than 75% of the V
voltage. To
IN
disable the boost converter, the EN voltage must be
less than 20% of the VIN voltage.
4.2.4.1True Output Disconnect
The MCP1643 device incorporates a true output
disconnect feature. With the EN pin pulled low, the
output of the MCP1643 is isolated or disconnected
from the input by turning off the integrated P-Channel
switch and removing the switc h bulk diode connection.
This removes the DC path, typical in boost converters,
which allows the output to be disconnected from the
input. During this mode, 1.2µA (typical) of current is
consumed from the input (battery). True output
disconnect does no t disc harge th e outpu t; this allow s a
faster start-up in dimming or load step applications.
4.2.4.2PWM Dim min g
The MCP1643 allows dimming by turning the LED on
and off with a variable duty cycle PWM signal applied
to the EN pin. The maximum frequency for dimming is
limited by the internal soft-start of 240µs (typical). By
varying the duty cy cle of the PWM signal app lied on EN
input, the LED current is changing linearly (see
Figure 2-8).
4.2.5INTERNAL BIAS

start-up bias from V

started, the operation is completely independent of

4.2.6INTERNAL COMPENSATION
The error am plifier, with its associat ed compensation
network, completes the closed loop system by
comparing the voltage from the sense resistor to a
120 mV reference at the input of the error amplifier
and feeding the amplified and inverted signal to the
control input of the inner current loop. The
compensation network provides phase leads and lags
at appropriate frequencies to cancel excessive phase
lags and leads of the power circuit. All necessary
compensation components and slope compensation
are integrated.
4.2.7SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION
Unlike most boost converters, the MCP1643 LED
Constant Current Driver allows its output to be shorted
during normal operation. The internal current limit and
overtemperature protection limit excessive stress and
protect the device during periods of short circuit,
overcurrent and overtemp erature.
4.2.8OUTPUT OVERVOLTAGE
PROTECTION
Overvoltage Protection is designed to protect the
MCP1643 if the output v ol t age (V
than 5.0V. Because the device is a step-up converter
that runs as a constant current generator, if the load is
disconnected, the output increases up to dangerous
voltages. This happens when the L ED fails. The dev ice
stops switching and the V

PWM signal applied to the EN pin. The maximum
frequency for dimmin g is li mi ted by the sof t st art, whic h
varies with the LED current. By varying the duty cycle
of the signal applied on the EN pin (from 0 to 100%),
the LED current is changing linearly (see Figure 2-8).
5.3Input Capacitor Selection
The boost input current is smoothed by the boost
inductor, reducing the amount of filtering necessary at
the input. Some capacitance is recommended to
provide decoupling from the source. Low ESR X5R or
X7R are well suited, since they have a low temperature
coefficient and small size. For most applications,
4.7 µF of capacitance is suf ficient at the input. For hig hpower applications that have high-source impedance
or long lead s, conn ecting th e batt ery to 10 µF ca pacitance is recommended. Additional input capacitance
can be added to provide a stable input voltage.
5.4Output Capacitor Selection
The output capacitor helps provide a stable output
voltage and smooth load current during sudden load
transients, as is the PWM dimming. Cer amic cap acitors
are well suited for this application (X5R and X7R). The
range of the output capacitor vary from 4.7 µF (in case
of light loads and static applications) up to 20 µF (for
hundreds of milliamp LED currents and PWM dimming
applications).

to its V
to 5.0V maximum to output, two white LEDs in series
connection are not possible.
Two or more white LEDs can be connected in parallel
to output, as shown in Figure 6-1. Current sensing is
necessary only for one LED. Each LED of the string is
passed by the calculated current according to
Equation 5-1. A protection circuit formed by a Zener
and general purpose diodes will protect the rest of
LEDs, if the LED in the sense loop fails.
Two red, green or yellow LEDs can be connected in
series to the output of MCP1643 (see application
example on Figure 6-2). Red LEDs ha ve a typical V
between 1.8V and 2.2V (it depends on the real color),
yellow LEDs have the V
for green options, consider values from 2.0V to 2.4V.
Several parameters are used to select the correct
inductor:
• maximum-rated current
• saturation current
• copper resistance (ESR)
For boost converters, t he induct or current c an be much
higher than the output current. The lower the inductor
ESR, the higher the efficiency of the converter, a
common trad e-off in size versus efficiency.
The saturation current typically specifies a point at
which the induc tance has rolled off a percentage of the
rated value. This can range from a 20% to 40%
reduction in induct ance. As th e induc tan ce rol ls off, the
inductor ripple current increases, as does the peak
switch current. It is important to keep the inductance
from rolling off too much, causing switch current to
reach the peak limit.

5.7Thermal Calcul ations
The MCP1643 is available in two different packages:
MSOP-8 and 2 x 3 DFN-8. By calculating the power
dissipation and applying the package thermal resistance (
), the junction temperature is estimated. The
JA
maximum continuous ambient temperature rating for
the MCP1643 family of devices is +85°C.
To quickly estimate the internal power dissipation for
the switching boost regulator, an empirical calculation
using measured efficiency can be used. Given the
measured efficiency, the internal power dissipation is
estimated by Equation 5-2:
EQUATION 5-2:
The difference b etw ee n the firs t term , i npu t p ower, an d
the second term, power delivered, is the internal
MCP1643’s power dissipation. This is an estimate
assuming that most of the power lost is internal to the
MCP1643 device and not CIN, C
There is some percentage of power lost in the boost
inductor, with very little loss in the input and output
capacitors. For a more accurate estimation of the
internal power dissipation, subtract the I

5.8PCB Layout Information
