R1204x Series
PWM/VFM Step-up DC/DC Converter for White LED / PMOLED and General Use
The R1204x Series are CMOS-based PWM/VFM step-up DC/DC converters, which are optimized to drive white LEDs and OLED with constant current.
There are two types. The A/D versions are optimized for th e g en eral use or the drive of PMOLED, and the B/ C/ E/F version i s optim ized fo r the serial drive
of white LED with constant current. The R1204x incl udes an under-voltage lockout circuit (UVLO), a soft-start circuit, and an over-voltage protection
circuit (OVP), a thermal shutdown circuit. By simp ly using an inductor, divider resisters, an d capacitors as external co mponents, OLED an d white LED s
can be driven with high efficiently. The A/D version ca n set whit e LED current wit h feedb ack resi ster ( R1). The b rightne ss of the L EDs an d the soft-start
time can be adjusted by apply i ng a PWM s ignal (20 0H z to 30 0kH z) to the CE pi n. In addition to DFN(P LP )1820 -6 , 0 .9 5mm thic kness TSOT-23-6 is available.

Comment LED Current setting
The LED current (I
LED) when a ”H” signal is applied to the
CE pin (Duty=100%) can be determined by the value of
feedback resistor (R1).
LED=0.2 / R1
I
LED Dimming Control
The LED brightness can be controlled by inputting the
PWM signal to the CE pin. The current of LEDs when
High-Duty of the CE input is ”Hduty” reaches the value
as in next formula.
LED=Hduty × VFB / R1
I
The frequency of the PWM signal is using the range
between 200Hz to 300kHz. When controlling the LED
brightness by the PWM signal of 20kHz or less, the
increasing or decreasing of the inductor current might
be make a sounds in the hearable sound wave area. In
that case, please use the PWM signal in the high
frequency area.
Soft-Start Time
Unless otherwise V
OUT is beyond the threshold (Vf x
number of LED lights), current will not flow through LEDs,
as a result, V
OUT by controlling the output of error amplifier to “H” and
V
FB voltage will not increase. The IC increases
turning the Lx switch on and off for a certain period of time
(until the current flow). At the mean time, the inrush
current is controlled by gradually increasing the current
limit. If V
OUT is over the threshold (the current flows), the IC
controls the soft-start function by gradually increasing the
reference voltage of error amplifier.
The Method of Output Voltage Setting
Output Voltage= (R1+ R2) / R1
The total value of R1 and R2 should be equal or less than
300kΩ.
Voltage rating of capacitor (C2) is recommended to use 1.5
times or more the output setting voltage.
Soft-Start Time
The IC controls the soft-start function by gradually increasing
the reference voltage of error amplifier. Soft-start begins when
the output voltage of error amplifier is 0V and ends when it
reaches the constant voltage.
The soft start time is set to Typ. 10ms within the IC.
