LP3933 Lighting Management System for Six White LEDs and Two RGB or FLASH LEDs
General Description
The LP3933 is a complete lighting management system
designed for portable wireless applications. It contains a
boost DC/DC converter, 4 white-LED drivers to drive the
main LCD panel backlight, 2 white-LED drivers for the subLCD panel and two sets of RGB/FLASH LED drivers.
Both backlight drivers have 8-bit constant current drivers that
are separately adjustable and matched to 0.5% (typ.). The
RGB LED drivers are PWM-driven with programmable color,
intensity and blinking patterns. In addition, they feature a
FLASH function to support picture taking with cameraenabled cellular phones.
An efficient magnetic boost DC/DC converter provides the
required bias for LEDs, operating from a single Li-Ion battery. The DC/DC converter output voltage is user programmable from 4.1V to 5.3V for adapting to different LED types
and for efficiency optimization. All functions are software
controllable through a SPI interface and 19 internal registers.

SPI Interface
LP3933 is compatible with the SPI serial bus specification
and it operates as a slave. The transmission consists of
16-bit Write and Read Cycles. One cycle consists of 7 Address bits, 1 Read/Write (R/W) bit and 8 Data bits. R/W bit
high state defines a Write Cycle and low defines a Read
Cycle. SO output is normally in high-impedance state and it
is active only when Data is sent out during a Read Cycle. A
pull-up or pull-down resistor may be needed in SO line, if a
SPI Write Cycle
floating logic signal can cause unintended current consumption in the input where SO is connected. The Address and
Data are transmitted MSB first. The Slave Select signal SS
must be low during the Cycle transmission. SS resets the
interface when high and it has to be taken high between
successive Cycles. Data is clocked in on the rising edge of
the SCK clock signal, while data is clocked out on the falling
edge of SCK.

Magnetic Boost DC/DC Converter
The LP3933 boost DC/DC Converter generates 4.1V–5.3V supply voltage for the LEDs from single Li-Ion battery (3V…4.5V). The
output voltage is controlled with 8-bit register in 9 steps. The converter is a magnetic switching PWM mode DC/DC converter with
a current limit. The converter has 1 MHz switching frequency when timing resistor RT is 82 KΩ.
The topology of the magnetic boost converter is called CPM control, current programmed mode, where the inductor current is
measured and controlled with the feedback. The user can program the output voltage of the boost converter. The control changes
the resistor divider in the feedback loop.
The following figure shows the boost topology with the protection circuitry. Three different protection schemes are implemented:
1. Over voltage protection, limits the maximum output voltage
— Keeps the output below breakdown voltage.
— Prevents boost operation if battery voltage is much higher than desired output.
2. Over current protection, limits the maximum inductor current
— Voltage over switching NMOS is monitored, too high voltages turn the switch off.
3. Duty cycle limiting, done with digital control.

Dual RGB LED Driver
The RGB driver has six outputs that can independently drive
LP3933
2 separate RGB LEDs or six LEDs of any kind. User has
control over the following parameters separately for each
LED:
ON and OFF (start and stop time in blinking cycle)
•
DUTY(PWM brightness control)
•
SLOPE(turn-on and turn-off slope)
•
ENABLE(output enable control)
•
The main blinking cycle is controlled with 2-bit CYCLE control (0.25 / 0.5 / 1.0 / 2.0s).
RGB PWM Operating Principle
20080501
RGB_START is the master enable control for the whole RGB
function. The internal PWM and blinking control can be
disabled by setting the RGB_PWM control LOW. In this case
the individual enable controls can be used to switch outputs
on and off. PWM_LED input can be used for external hardware PWM control.
In the normal PWM mode the R, G and B switches are
controlled in 3 phases (one phase per driver). During each
phase the peak current set by external resistor is driven
through the LED for the time defined by DUTY setting
(0 µs–50 µs). As a time averaged current this means
0%–33% of the peak current. The PWM period is 150 µs and
the pulse frequency is 6.7 kHz in normal mode.
Normal Mode PWM Waveforms at Different Duty
20080506
Settings
In the FLASH mode all the outputs are controlled in one
phase and the PWM period is 50 µs. The time averaged
FLASH mode current is three times the normal mode current
at the same DUTY value.
Blinking can be controlled separately for each output. On
and OFF times determine, when a LED turns on and off
within the blinking cycle. When both ON and OFF are 0, the
LED is on and doesn’t blink. If ON equals OFF but is not 0,
the LED is permanently off.

DUTY sets the brightness of the LED by adjusting the duty cycle of the PWM driver. The minimum duty
A
cycle is 0% [0000] and the maximum in the FLASH mode is
100% [1111] of the peak pulse current.
The peak pulse current is determined by the external resistor, LED voltage drop and the boost voltage. In
normal mode the maximum duty cycle is 33%.
SLOPE sets the turn-on and turn-off slopes. Fastest slope is set by [0000] and slowest by [1111]. SLOPE
changes the duty cycle at constant, programmable rate. For each slope setting the maximum slope time
appears at maximum DUTY setting. When DUTY is reduced, the slope time decreases proportionally. For
example, in case of maximum DUTY, the sloping time can be adjusted from 31 ms [0000] to 930 ms
[1111]. For 50% DUTY [0111] the sloping time is 14 ms [0000] to 434 ms [1111]. The blinking cycle has
no effect on SLOPE.
ON sets the beginning time of the turn-on slope. The on-time is relative to the selected blinking cycle
length. On-setting N (N = 0–15) sets the on-time to N/16 * cycle length.
OFF sets the beginning time of the turn-off slope. Off-time is relative to the blinking cycle length in the
same way as the on-time.
If ON=0,OFF=0and RGB_PWM = 1, then RGB outputs are continuously on (no blinking), the DUTY
setting controls the brightness and the SLOPE setting is ignored.
If ON and OFF are the same, but not 0, the RGB outputs are turned off.

A Schottky diode should be used for the output diode. To
maintain high efficiency the average current rating of the
schottky diode should be larger than the peak inductor current (1A). Schottky diodes with a low forward drop and fast
switching speeds are ideal for increasing efficiency in portable applications. Choose a reverse breakdown of the
schottky diode larger than the output voltage. Do not use
ordinary rectifier diodes, since slow switching speeds and
long recovery times cause the efficiency and the load regulation to suffer.
INDUCTOR, L
The LP3933’s high switching frequency enables the use of
the small surface mount inductor. A 10 µH shielded inductor
is suggested. Values below 4.7 µH should not be used. The
inductor should have a saturation current rating higher than
the peak current it will experience during circuit operation

ciency. Open core inductors cause flux linkage with circuit
components and interfere with the normal operation of the
circuit. This should be avoided. For high efficiency, choose
an inductor with a high frequency core material such as
ferrite to reduce the core losses. To minimize radiated noise,
use a toroid, pot core or shielded core inductor. The inductor
should be connected to the SW pin as close to the IC as
possible. Examples of suitable inductors are TDK types
LLF4017T-100MR90C and VLF4012AT-100MR79 and Coilcraft type DO3314T-103.
