APPLICATION INFORMATION
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The LM2759 is an adaptive CMOS charge pump with gains of 1x, 1.5x, and 2x, optimized for driving Flash LEDs
in camera phones and other portable applications. It provides a constant current of up to 1A (typ.) for Flash mode
and 180 mA (typ.) for Torch mode.
The LM2759 has selectable modes including Flash, Torch, Indicator and Shutdown. Flash mode for the LM2759
can also be enabled via the Strobe input pin. The LED is driven from VOUT and connected to the current sink.
The LED drive current and operating modes are programmed via an I2C compatible interface. The LM2759
adaptively selects the next highest gain mode when needed to maintain the programmed LED current level.
To prevent a high battery load condition during a simultaneous RF PA transmission and Flash event, LM2759
has a Flash interrupt pin (TX) to reduce the LED current to the programmed Torch current level for the duration
of the RF PA transmission pulse.
CHARGE PUMP AND GAIN TRANSITIONS
The input to the 1x, 1.5x, 2x charge pump is connected to the VIN pin, and the loosely regulated output of the
charge pump is connected to the VOUT pin. In 1x mode, as long as the input voltage is less than 4.7V (typ.), the
output voltage is approximately equal to the input voltage. When the input voltage is over 4.7V (typ.) the output
voltage is regulated to 4.7V (typ.). In 1.5x mode, the output voltage is regulated to 4.7V (typ.) over entire input
voltage range. For the gain of 2x, the output voltage is regulated to 5.1V (typ.). When under load, the voltage at
VOUT can be less than the target regulation voltage while the charge pump is still in closed loop operation. This is
due to the load regulation topology of the LM2759.
The charge pump’s gain is selected according to the headroom voltage across the current sink of LM2759. When
the headroom voltage VGDX (at the LED cathode) drops below 350 mV (typ.) the charge pump gain transitions to
the next available higher gain mode. Once the charge pump transitions to a higher gain, it will remain at that gain
for as long as the device remains enabled. Shutting down and then re-enabling the device resets the gain mode
to the minimum gain required to maintain the load.
SOFT START
The LM2759 contains internal soft-start circuitry to limit inrush currents when the part is enabled. Soft start is
implemented internally with a controlled turn-on of the internal voltage reference.
CURRENT LIMIT PROTECTION
The LM2759 charge pump contains current limit protection circuitry that protects the device during VOUT fault
conditions where excessive current is drawn. Output current is limited to 1.4A typically.
LOGIC CONTROL PINS
LM2759 has two asynchronous logic pins, Strobe and TX. These logic inputs function according to the table
below:
TX STROBE FUNCTION
0 0 Current I2C programmed state (Off, Torch,
Flash, Indicator)
1 0 Current I2C programmed state (Off, Torch,

and TX is logic High, the LED current will be
at the programmed Torch level.

I2C COMPATIBLE INTERFACE
START AND STOP CONDITIONS
START and STOP conditions classify the beginning and the end of the I2C session. A START condition is
defined as SDA signal transitioning from HIGH to LOW while SCL line is HIGH. A STOP condition is defined as
the SDA transitioning from LOW to HIGH while SCL is HIGH. The I2C master always generates START and
STOP conditions. The I2C bus is considered to be busy after a START condition and free after a STOP condition.
During data transmission, the I2C master can generate repeated START conditions. First START and repeated
START conditions are equivalent, function-wise.
Figure 15. Start and Stop Conditions
DATA VALIDITY
The data on SDA line must be stable during the HIGH period of the clock signal (SCL). In other words, state of
the data line can only be changed when SCL is LOW.
Figure 16. Data Validity Diagram
A pull-up resistor between the controller's VIO line and SDA must be greater than [(VIO-VOL) / 3.5mA] to meet
the VOL requirement on SDA. Using a larger pull-up resistor results in lower switching current with slower edges,
while using a smaller pull-up results in higher switching currents with faster edges.
TRANSFERING DATA
Every byte put on the SDA line must be eight bits long, with the most significant bit (MSB) transferred first. Each
byte of data has to be followed by an acknowledge bit. The acknowledge related clock pulse is generated by the
master. The master releases the SDA line (HIGH) during the acknowledge clock pulse. The LM2759 pulls down
the SDA line during the 9th clock pulse, signifying an acknowledge. The LM2759 generates an acknowledge
after each byte is received.
After the START condition, the I2C master sends a chip address. This address is seven bits long followed by an
eighth bit which is a data direction bit (R/W). The LM2759 address is 53h. For the eighth bit, a “0” indicates a
WRITE and a “1” indicates a READ. The second byte selects the register to which the data will be written. The
third byte contains data to write to the selected register.

GENERAL PURPOSE REGISTER AND STROBE INHIBIT FUNCTION
The general purpose register (x10) is used set the mode of operation for the LM2759. The selectable operating
modes using the lower 4 bits in the general purpose register are listed in the table below.
The Strobe Input Pin can be disabled via I2C to ignore external signals into this pin when desired. This function is
implemented through bit 3 of the General Purpose Register (See table below). In the default state, input signals
on the Strobe Input are enabled. (Bit3 = “0”, inputs into the Strobe Pin are not inhibited).

X 0 0 1 Torch
X X 1 1 Flash
X 1 0 1 Indicator (Lowest Torch Level)
1 X X X Inhibit Inputs into the Strobe Pin
SETTING LED CURRENT
The current through the LED is set by programming the appropriate register with the desired current level code
for Flash and Torch. The time that Flash mode is active is dependent on the lesser of the duration that it is set to
"ON" (via I2C or the Strobe pin), or the duration of the Flash Timeout. Use the tables below to select the desired
current level.
Using the part in conditions where the junction temperature might rise above the rated maximum requires that
the operating ranges and/or conditions be de-rated. The printed circuit board also must be carefully laid out to
account for high thermal dissipation in the part.

FLASH TIME-OUT FEATURE
Time-out Protection Circuitry disables the current sink when either the Strobe pin is held at logic high or the
Flash mode is enabled via the I2C compatible interface longer than the programmed timeout duration. This
prevents the device from self-heating due to the high power dissipation during Flash conditions. During the time-
out condition, voltage will still be present on VOUT but the current sink will be shut off, resulting in no current
through the Flash LED. When the device goes into a time-out condition, disabling and then re-enabling the
device will reset the time-out. Use the table below to set the desired Flash timeout duration.

CAPACITOR SELECTION
The LM2759 requires 4 external capacitors for proper operation. Surface-mount multi-layer ceramic capacitors
are recommended. These capacitors are small, inexpensive and have very low equivalent series resistance (ESR
<20 mΩtyp.). Tantalum capacitors, OS-CON capacitors, and aluminum electrolytic capacitors are not
recommended for use with the LM2759 due to their high ESR, as compared to ceramic capacitors. For most
applications, ceramic capacitors with X7R or X5R temperature characteristic are preferred for use with the
LM2759. These capacitors have tight capacitance tolerance (as good as ±10%) and hold their value over
temperature (X7R: ±15% over -55°C to 125°C; X5R: ±15% over -55°C to 85°C). Capacitors with Y5V or Z5U
temperature characteristic are generally not recommended for use with the LM2759. Capacitors with these
temperature characteristics typically have wide capacitance tolerance (+80%, -20%) and vary significantly over

temperature (Y5V: +22%, -82% over -30°C to +85°C range; Z5U: +22%, -56% over +10°C to +85°C range).
Under some conditions, a nominal 1 μF Y5V or Z5U capacitor could have a capacitance of only 0.1 μF. Such
detrimental deviation is likely to cause Y5V and Z5U capacitors to fail to meet the minimum capacitance
requirements of the LM2759. The voltage rating of the output capacitor should be 6.3V or more. For example, a
6.3V 0603 4.7 μF output capacitor (TDK C1608X5R0J475) is acceptable for use with the LM2759, as long as the
capacitance on the output does not fall below a minimum of 3μF in the intended application. All other capacitors
should have a voltage rating at or above the maximum input voltage of the application and should have a
minimum capacitance of 1 μF.

POWER EFFICIENCY
Efficiency of LED drivers is commonly taken to be the ratio of power consumed by the LED (PLED) to the power
drawn at the input of the part (PIN). With a 1x, 1.5x, 2x charge pump, the input current is equal to the charge
pump gain times the output current (total LED current). The efficiency of the LM2759 can be predicted as follows:
PLED = VLED × ILED (1)
PIN = VIN × IIN (2)
PIN = VIN × (Gain × ILED + IQ) (3)
E = (PLED ÷ PIN) (4)
For a simple approximation, the current consumed by internal circuitry (IQ) can be neglected, and the resulting
efficiency will become:
E = VLED ÷ (VIN × Gain) (5)
Neglecting IQwill result in a slightly higher efficiency prediction, but this impact will be negligible due to the value
of IQbeing very low compared to the typical Torch and Flash current levels (100mA - 1A). It is also worth noting
that efficiency as defined here is in part dependent on LED voltage. Variation in LED voltage does not affect
power consumed by the circuit and typically does not relate to the brightness of the LED. For an advanced
analysis, it is recommended that power consumed by the circuit (VIN x IIN) be evaluated rather than power
efficiency.
THERMAL PROTECTION
Internal thermal protection circuitry disables the LM2759 when the junction temperature exceeds 150°C (typ.).
This feature protects the device from being damaged by high die temperatures that might otherwise result from
excessive power dissipation. The device will recover and operate normally when the junction temperature falls
below 120°C (typ.). It is important that the board layout provide good thermal conduction to keep the junction
temperature within the specified operating ratings.
POWER DISSIPATION
The power dissipation (PDISSIPATION) and junction temperature (TJ) can be approximated with the equations
below. PIN is the power generated by the 1x, 1.5x, 2x charge pump, PLED is the power consumed by the LED, TA
is the ambient temperature, and θJA is the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance for the 12 pin WSON package.
VIN is the input voltage to the LM2759, VLED is the nominal LED forward voltage, and ILED is the programmed
LED current.
PDISSIPATION = PIN - PLED (6)
= (Gain × VIN × ILED)−(VLED × ILED) (7)
TJ= TA+ (PDISSIPATION ×θJA) (8)

The junction temperature rating takes precedence over the ambient temperature rating. The LM2759 may be
operated outside the ambient temperature rating, so long as the junction temperature of the device does not
exceed the maximum operating rating of 105°C. The maximum ambient temperature rating must be derated in
applications where high power dissipation and/or poor thermal resistance causes the junction temperature to
exceed 105°C.
MAXIMUM OUTPUT CURRENT
The maximum LED current that can be used for a particular application depends on the rated forward voltage of
the LED used, the input voltage range of the application, and the Gain mode of the LM2759’s charge pump. The
following equation can be used to approximate the relationship between the maximum LED current, the LED
forward voltage, the minimum input voltage, and the charge pump gain:
(VIN_MIN x Gain) > (VF+ VHR) + (ILED x ROUT_GAIN) (9)
VHR or the voltage required across the current sink to remain in regulation can be approximated by (ILED x KHR),
where KHR is 0.8 mV/mA (typ). ROUT_GAIN is the output impedance of the charge pump according to its gain
mode. When using the equation above, keep in mind that the (VF+ VHR) portion of the equation can not be
greater than the nominal output regulation voltage for a particular gain. In other words, when making calculations
for an application where the term (VF+ VHR) is higher than a particular gain’s regulation voltage, the next higher
gain level must be used for the calculation.
Example: VF= 4V @ 1A, Charge Pump in the Gain of 2x with a ROUT of 2.25Ω(typ.)
VIN_MIN > [(4V + 0.8V) + (1A x 2.25Ω) ] ÷ 2
VIN_MIN > 3.53V (typ.)
The maximum power dissipation in the LM2759 must also be taken into account when selecting the conditions
for an application, such that the junction temperature of the device never exceeds its rated maximum. The input
voltage range, operating temperature range, and/or current level of the application may have to be adjusted to
keep the LM2759 within normal operating ratings.
BOARD LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
PC board layout is an important part of DC-DC converter design. Poor board layout can disrupt the performance
of a DC-DC converter and surrounding circuitry by contributing to EMI, ground bounce, and resistive voltage loss
in the traces. These can send erroneous signals to the DC-DC converter IC, resulting in poor regulation or
instability. Poor layout can also result in re-flow problems leading to poor solder joints between the WSON
package and board pads. Poor solder joints can result in erratic or degraded performance.
