designed for large LCDs. BD9486F has a boost DCDC
converter that employs an array of LEDs as the light
source.
BD9486F has some protect functions against fault
conditions, such as over-voltage protection (OVP), over
current limit protection of DCDC (OCP), LED OCP
protection, and Over boost protection (FBMAX).

○Product structure:Silicon monolithic integrated circuit ○This product has not designed protection against radioactive rays
.
This is the 5.0V(typ.) output pin. Available current is 5mA (min).
And this terminal is also used as timer for discharging DCDC output capacitor.
Please refer to section“3.2.2 Shutdown Method and REG50 Capacitance Setting”, for detailed explanation.
○Pin 2: STB
This is the ON/OFF setting terminal of the IC. Input reset-signal to this terminal to reset IC from latch-off.
At startup, internal bias starts at high level, and then PWM DCDC boost starts after PWM rise edge inputs.
Note: IC status (IC ON/OFF) transits depending on the voltage inputted to STB terminal. Avoid the use of intermediate
level (from 0.8V to 2.0V).
In order to discharge output voltage while STB=L and REG50UVLO=H, DIMOUT can assert High, depending on PWM
logic. About discharge behavior at end, please refer to section “3.5.3 Timing Chart” or section “3.2.2 Shutdown Method
and REG50 Capacitance Setting”.
○Pin 3: OVP
The OVP terminal is the input for over-voltage protection. If OVP is more than 3.0V(typ), the over-voltage protection
(OVP) will work. At the moment of these detections, it sets GATE=L, DIMOUT=L and starts to count up the abnormal
interval. If OVP detection continued to count four GATE clocks, IC reaches latch off. (Please refer to “3.5.5 Timing Chart”)
The OVP pin is high impedance, because the internal resistance is not connected to a certain bias.
Even if OVP function is not used, pin bias is still required because the open connection of this pin is not a fixed potential.
The setting example is separately described in the section ”3.2.7 OVP Setting”.
As PWM=L interval, IC operates to keep the OVP pin voltage therefore the output voltage. Please refer the section “TBD
the Retaining Function of The Output Voltage”.
○Pin 4: UVLO
Under Voltage Lock Out pin is the input voltage of the power stage. , IC starts the boost operation if UVLO is more than
3.0V(typ) and stops if lower than 2.7V(typ).
The UVLO pin is high impedance, because the internal resistance is not connected to a certain bias.
Even if UVLO function is not used, pin bias is still required because the open connection of this pin is not a fixed
potential.
The setting example is separately described in the section ”3.2.6 UVLO Setting”
○Pin 5: SS
This is the pin which sets the soft start interval of DC/DC converter. It performs the constant current charge of 3.0 μA to
external capacitance Css. The switching duty of GATE output will be limited during 0V to 3.7V of the SS voltage.
So the soft start interval Tss can be expressed as follows
Tss = 1.23*10
The logic of SS pin asserts low is defined as the latch-off state or PWM is not input high level after STB reset release.
When SS capacitance is under 1nF, take note if the in-rush current during startup is too large, or if over boost detection
(FBMAXI) mask timing is too short.
Please refer to soft start behavior in the section “3.5.4 Timing Chart ”.
○Pin 6: PWM
This is the PWM dimming signal input terminal. The high / low level of PWM pins are the following.
○Pin 7: CP
Timer pin for counting the abnormal state of the over boost protection (FBMAX). If the abnormal state is detected, the CP
pin starts charging the external capacitance by 3μA. As the CP voltage reaches 3.0V, IC will be latched off. (GATE=L,
DIMOUT=L).
Please refer to section“3.2.8 Interval Until Latch Off Setting”, for detailed explanation.
○Pin 8: ADIM
This is the input pin for analog dimming signal. The ISENSE feedback point is set as 1/3 of this pin bias. If more than 3.0V
is input, ISENSE feedback voltage is clamped to limit to flow LED large current. In this condition, the input current is
caused. Please refer to <ISENSE> terminal explanation.
This is the DC/DC switching frequency setting pin. DCDC frequency is decided
by connected resistor.

Figure 12. RT terminal circuit example
The fail logic indicating the abnormal state can be obtained by using the right
circuit example. The gate capacitor is limited to 200pF. We recommend
RE1C001VN for M1.The RT pin output the 2.0V(typ.) in the normal state and
drops to 0V in the latch off state. When REG50 reaches to 0V,there is a point
that FAIL output voltage is unstable, if this is a problem, please add C1 capacitor.
Please refer to section “2.7 Behavior List of the Protect Functions” or “3.5 Timing
Chart”.

FAIL
This is the output terminal of error amplifier.
FB pin rises with the same slope as the SS pin during the soft-start period.
After soft -start completion (SS>3.7V), it operates as follows.
When PWM=H, it detects ISENSE terminal voltage and outputs error signal compared to analog dimming signal (ADIM).
It detects over boost (FBMAX) over FB=4.0V(typ). After the SS completion, if FB>4.0V and PWM=H continues 4clk GATE,
the CP charge starts. After that, only the FB>4.0V is monitored, if CP charge continues to the CP=3.0V, IC will be latched
off. (Please refer to section “3.5.6 Timing Chart”.)
The loop compensation setting is described in section "3.4 Loop Compensation".
○Pin 11: ISENSE
This is the input terminal for the current detection. Error amplifier compares the
lower one among 1/3 of the voltage terminal ADIM analog dimming and 1.0V(typ).
And it detects abnormal LED overcurrent at ISENSE=3.0V(typ) over. If GATE
terminal continues during four CLKs (equivalent to 40μs at fosc = 100kHz), it
becomes latch-off. (Please refer to section “3.5.7 Timing Chart”.)

This is the output pin for external dimming NMOS. The table below shows the rough output
logic of each operation state, and the output H level is VCC. Please refer to “3.5 Timing Chart”
for detailed explanations, because DIMOUT logic has an exceptional behavior. Please insert
the resistor R
PWM turns from low to high.
○Pin 14: GATE
This is the output terminal for driving the gate of the boost MOSFET. The high level is VCC. Frequency can be set by the
resistor connected to RT. Refer to <RT> pin description for the frequency setting.
○Pin 15: CS
The CS pin has two functions.
1. DC / DC current mode Feedback terminal
The inductor current is converted to the CS pin voltage by the sense resistor
R
This voltage compared to the voltage set by error amplifier controls the
CS.
output pulse.
2. Inductor current limit (OCP) terminal
The CS terminal also has an over current protection (OCP). If the voltage is
more than 0.4V(typ.), the switching operation will be stopped compulsorily. And
the next boost pulse will be restarted to normal frequency.
In addition, the CS voltage is more than 1.0V(typ.) during four GATE clocks, IC
will be latch off. As above OCP operation, if the current continues to flow
nevertheless GATE=L because of the destruction of the boost MOS, IC will
stops the operation completely.
Both of the above functions are enabled after 300ns (typ) when GATE pin
asserts high, because the Leading Edge Blanking function (LEB) is included
into this IC to prevent the effect of noise.
Please refer to section “3.3.1 OCP Setting / Calculation Method for the Current Rating of DCDC Parts”, for detailed
explanation.
If the capacitance Cs in the right figure is increased to a micro order, please be careful that the limited value of NMOS
drain current Id is more than the simple calculation. Because the current Id flows not only through Rcs but also through
Cs, as the CS pin voltage moves according to Id.
○Pin 16: VCC
This is the power supply pin of the IC. Input range is from 9V to 18V.
The operation starts at more than 7.5V(typ) and shuts down at less than 7.2V(typ)
between the dimming MOS gate to improve the over shoot of LED current, as
