The RT8510 is a high efficiency driver for white LEDs. It is
designed for LCD panels that employ a n array of LEDs a s
the lighting source. An integrated switch current mode
boost controller drives four strings in parallel and supports
up to 12 pieces of LED per string. The internal current
sinks support a maximum of ±2% current mismatching
for excellent brightness uniformity in ea ch string of LED.
To provide enough headroom for current sink operation
the boost controller monitors the minimum voltage of
feedback pins a nd regulates a n optimized output voltage
for power efficiency .
The RT8510 ha s a wide input voltage ra nge from 4.2V to
24V and provide a n adjustable 10mA to 40mA LED current.
The internal 200mΩ, 43V power switch with current-mode
control provides cycle-by-cycle over current protection.
RT8510 also integrates PWM dimming function for
accurate LED current control. The input PWM dimming
frequency can operate from 120Hz to 30kHz without
inducing any inrush current through the LED or inductor .
The switching frequency of the RT8510 is adjustable from
500kHz to 2MHz, allowing the user flexibility between
efficiency a nd component size.

RT8510
Application Information
The RT8510 is a general purpose 4-CH LED driver ca pable
of delivering an adjustable 10 to 40mA LED current. The
IC is a current mode boost converter integrated with a
43V/2A power switch a nd can cover a wide V
4.2V to 24V . The switching frequency is a djustable by an
external resistor from 500kHz to 2MHz. The part
integrates built-in soft start, with PWM dimming control;
moreover, it provides over voltage, over temperature a nd
current limiting protection features.
Soft-Start
The RT8510 equips a built-in soft-start feature to prevent
high inrush current during start-up. The soft-start function
prevents excessive input current and input voltage droop
during power on state.
Compensation
The control loop can be compensates by adjusting the
external components connected to the COMP pin. The
COMP pin is the output of the internal error a mplifier . The
compensation capacitors, C3 and C4, will adjust the
integrator zero and pole respectively to maintain stability .
Moreover, the resistor, R3, will adjust the frequency
integrator gain for fa st tran sient response.

Over Voltage Protection
The RT8510 integrates over voltage protection (OVP)
function. When the voltage at the OVP pin reaches the
threshold voltage, the internal switch will be turned off.
The internal switch will be turned on again once the voltage
at OVP pin drops below its threshold voltage.
The OVP threshold voltage is adjustable and can be
clamped at a certain voltage level a nd it ca n be calculated

Current Limit Protection
The RT8510 can limit the peak current to achieve over
current protection. The RT8510 senses the inductor
current during the “ON” period that flows through the LX
pin. The duty cycle depends on the current signal and
internal slope compensation in comparison with the error
signal. The internal switch will be turned off when the
current signal is larger than the internal slope
compensation. In the “OFF” period, the inductor current
will be decrea sed until the internal switch is turned on by
the oscillator.
Brightness Control
The RT8510 brightness dimming control is determined by
the signal on the PWM pin with a suggested PWM
frequency range from 120Hz to 30kHz. However , the LED
current cannot be 100% proportional to duty cycle
especially f or high frequency and low duty ratio because
of physical limitation caused by inductor rising time. Plea se
refer to T a ble 1 and Figure 7.

Over Temperature Protection
The RT8510 ha s over temperature protection function to
prevent the IC from overheating due to excessive power
dissipation. The OTP function will shutdown the IC when
junction temperature exceeds 160°C .
Inductor Selection

following equation, where the transition is from
discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) to continuous
conduction mode (CCM) :

The boost converter operates in DCM over the entire in put
voltage range when the inductor value is below this value
L. When inductance greater is than L, the converter

be discontinuous at higher voltages.
The inductor must be selected with a saturated current

Diode Selection
Schottky diodes are recommended for most a pplication s
because of their fa st recovery time a nd low forward voltage.
The power dissipation, reverse voltage rating and pulsating
peak current are the important parameters for Schottky
diode selection. Ma ke sure that the diode's peak current
rating exceeds I
and reverse voltage rating exceeds
PEAK
the maximum output voltage.
Output Capa citor Sele ction
The input ca pacitor reduce s current spikes from the input
supply and minimizes noise in jection to the converter. For
most applications, a 10 μF ceramic ca pa citor is suf ficient.
A value higher or lower may be used depending on the
noise level from the input supply and the input current to
the converter.
For lower output voltage ripple, a low ESR cera mic capa citor
is recommended. The output voltage ripple consists of two
components: one is the pulsating output ripple current
flowing through the ESR, and the other is

Thermal Considerations
For continuous operation, do not exceed absolute
maximum junction temperature. The maximum power
dissipation depends on the thermal resistance of the IC
package, PCB layout, rate of surrounding airflow, and
difference between junction and a mbient temperature. The
maximum power dissipation can be calculated by the
following formula :
P
where T
the a mbient temperature, and θ
D(MAX)
= (T
J(MAX)
− TA) / θ
J(MAX)
JA
is the maximum junction temperature, T
is the junction to ambient
JA
A
thermal resistance.
For recommended operating condition specifications of
RT8510, the maximum junction temperature is 125°C a nd
TA is the ambient temperature. The junction to ambient
thermal resistance, θJA, is layout dependent. For WQF N16L 3x3 packages, the thermal resistance, θJA, is 68°C/
W on a standard JEDEC 51-7 f our-layer thermal test board.
The maximum power dissipation at TA = 25°C can be
calculated by the following formula :
P
= (125°C − 25°C) / (68°C/W) = 1.471W for
D(MAX)
WQF N-16L 3x3 pa ckage
The maximum power dissipation depends on the operating
ambient temperature for fixed T
and thermal
J(MAX)
resistance, θJA. For RT8510 pa ckage, the derating curve
in Figure 8 allows the designer to see the effect of rising
ambient te mperature on the maximum power dissipation.

strictly followed for best perf ormance of the RT8510.
` The power components, L1, D1, C

PCB trace between power components must be a s short

` Place L1 and D1as close as possible to LX pin . The
is
trace should be a s short a nd wide as possible.
` The compensation circuit should be kept away from
the power loops and should be shielded with a ground
trace to prevent any noise coupling. Place the
compensation components as close as possible to
COMP pin.
` The exposed pad of the chip should be connected to
ground plane for thermal con sideration.
