NIPPON PRECISION CIRCUITS INC.—9
V
OUT
Output Circuit Mode Switching
The SM8131B switches between 3 output states: power-save mode (standby state),
×
1.0
mode (VIN through
mode), and
×
1.5 mode (
×
1.5 charge pump boost). This automatically adjusts the VOUT output to match the
drive LED characteristics and reduces the total power dissipation. Switching to and from
×
1.0 and
×
1.5 mode
occurs automatically in an internal circuit, and cannot be controlled using an external input.
Power-ON internal reset time
The SM8131B switches from standby condition (power-save mode) to normal operating condition (
×
1.0/
×
1.5
mode) on the
fi
rst rising edge of either EN1 or EN2. Note that if the VIN supply voltage is applied when EN1
or EN2 is HIGH, startup occurs after the internal power-ON reset time (approximately 50
μ
s) expires. At star-
tup, operation commences in
×
1.5 mode for a
fi
xed interval during the soft-start time in order to determine
whether a LED is connected to each DIN pin.
(1) VIN voltage rises when power is applied.
(2) Power-ON reset (POR) circuit resets internal circuits approximately 50
μ
s after the power is applied.
(3) If EN1 or EN2 is HIGH when power is applied, the internal circuits start operating when the internal
“
CE
”
signal rising edge occurs after the power-ON reset time. If EN1 and EN2 are LOW when power is applied,
the
“
CE
”
rising edge occurs simultaneously with the
fi
rst rising edge.
(1) If the EN signals are input after POR time is expired, the soft start time begin from the
fi
rst EN input rising
edge. The current setting can be adjusted during the soft-start time.
(2) LED current starts
fl
ow immediately before the soft start time expires.
