The AP3156 is a low noise, constant frequency charge pump
DC/DC converter that uses a tri-mode load switch (1X), fractional
(1.5X), and doubling (2X) conversion to maximize efficiency for
white LED applications. The AP3156 is capable of driving the
LED channels at 120 mA maxim um from a 2.7V to 5.5V inpu t. The
current sinks ma y be op erated indiv idually or in paralle l for dr iving
higher-current LEDs. A low external parts count (two 1µF flying
capacitors and two small 1µF capacitors at VIN and VOUT) make
this part ideally suited for small, battery-powered applications.
AP3156 serial digital input is used to enable, disable and set
current for each LED with a 32-level logarithmic scale plus four
low-current settings down to 50µA for optimized efficiency, with a
low quiescent current of only 50µA.
Each output of the AP3156 is equipped with built-in protection for
VOUT short circuit and auto-disable for LED failure conditions.
Built-in soft-start circuitry prevents excessive inrush current
during start-up. A low-current shutdown feature disconnects the
load from VIN and reduces quiescent current to less than 1µA.
The AP3156 is available in a lead-free, space-saving, thermally
enhanced 16-pin 4x4mm QFN package.

FOR WHITE LED APPLICATIONS
AP3156 Rev. 1 9 of 15 SEPTEMBER 2009
www.diodes.com © Diodes Incorporated
Functional Description
The AP3156 is a tri-mode high efficiency six-channel charge
pump (1x, 1.5x or 2x) device intended for white LED backlight
applications. An internal comparator circuit compares the
voltage at each constant current sink input against a reference
voltage. To ensure maximum power efficiency, the most
appropriate switching mode (1x, 1.5x, 2x) is automatically
selected.
The AP3156 requires only four external components: two 1µF
ceramic flying capacitors (C1 an d C2) for the ch arge pump, one
1µF ceramic input capacitor (CIN), and one 1µF ceramic
charge pump output capacitor (COUT).
The each output channel of the AP3156 can drive six
individ ual LEDs with a maximum c urrent of 25mA per channel.
These can be paralleled to give a total output current of
150mA.
Constant Current Output Level Settings
The constant current level for the outputs is set via the Serial
Digital Interface and has a logarithmic variance. This results in
the LED brightness varying linearly when the settings in the
scale are traversed. Because the inputs D1 to D6 are true
independent constant current sinks, the voltage observed on
any single given input will be determined by the difference
between VOUT and the actual forward voltage (VF) of the LED
being driven.
Since the constant current levels for the AP3156 are
programmable, no P WM (pulse w idth modu lation) or a dditional
control circuitry is needed to control LED brightness. With its
high-speed serial interface (>1MH z da ta rate), the LE D cu rrent
drive of the AP3156 can be changed successively to brighten
or dim LEDs in sm ooth transitions or in abrupt steps, g iving the
user complete programmability and real-time control of LED
brightness.
There are 32 curren t level settings se parated from on e another
by approximately 0.5dB (see Constant Current Programming
Level table). Code 1 is full-scale current, and Code 31 is full
scale attenuated roughly 15dB. Code 32 is reserved as a “no
current” setting.

Serial Digital Interface
SDI is a general purpose 1-wire digital interface designed to
transport digital controls for power management ICs such as
AP3156. The current levels of the six channels can be
configured either together, individually or specific grouping.
Up to 32 current levels are allowed. A generic system
controller can easily support the SDI protocol via bit-banging
over its general purpose I/Os.
The SDI protocol is simple yet flexible enough to
accommodate different switching clock frequencies. Any
sequence of negative-edged pulses of 63 or less (see
Instruction & Data Table) separated by TSEP at the SDI pin is
interpreted by the AP3156 as a channel configuration event.
In future, the number of pulses can be extended to support
additional commands.

Disabled Current Sinks
Unused current channels must be disabled by connecting the
sinks to VOUT with only a small sense current flowing through
the disabled channel.
Soft-Start
Soft-start is incorporated to prevent excessive inrush current
during power-up, mode switching, and transitioning out of
stand-by mode.
Short- Circuit Protection
Short-circuit protection function is incorporated to prevent
excessive load current when either flying cap terminals or
output pin electrically tied to a very lower voltage or ground.
Over-Voltage Protection
Over-Voltage Protection function is incorporated to limit the
output voltage under a safe value to avoid on-chip device
breakdown.
Under- Voltage Lock out
Under-Voltage lockout feature disables the device when the
input voltage drops below UVLO threshold.
Thermal Auto Shut down
When the die temperature exceeds the thermal limit, the
device will be disabled and enter stand-by mode. The
operation resumes whenever the die cools off sufficiently.
Switching fre q uency
By default, the AP3156 is working at 1MHz switching
frequency. It can also work at 0.5MHz or 2MHz switching
frequency which can be set through the Serial Digital Interface.
An user can choose the appropriate switching frequency with
consideration of noise immunity, input and output voltage
ripple requirement, and capacitor selection.

SDI Command Timing Protocol
For the SDI command to be successfully received by the AP3156, all SDI timing specifications must be satisfied.
When no command is being sent, the SDI pin should be held High. If the SDI pin goes Low and stays Low for a time length between
TSLO(min) and TSLO(max) and then goes High and stays High for the length between TSHI(min) and TSHI(max), one falling edge is
registered by the AP3156. The total number of falling edges registered before the SDI pin is held High for longer than the maximum
separation time TSEP(max) identifies the command that has been received by the AP3156. The next series of falling edges before
another separation time of TSEP represents the next command. In other words, the AP3156 counts the number of consecutive falling
edges on the SDI pin and a different number represents a different command.
Each command is executed after it is successfully received. If at any time the SDI pin is held Low for longer than the maximum chip
disable time TOFF(max), then the AP3156 will be turned off and enters the shut down mode. Setting the SDI pin switching from Low to High
will re-enable the AP3156 and leave the shutdown mode. If the SDI pin is held on for a time duration over TSEP, then an end of a
sequence (EOS) occurs with a number of pulse conformed to specified timing.
A valid dual-sequence command occurs when one valid sequence is defined as an instruction, and the other is defined as data. Both
sequences have number of pulses less than 33. Also, a valid single-sequence command occurs when the sequence has number of
pulses greater than 32.
