Applications for White LED Driver in Parallel vs. Series
Introduction
For the past few years there has been a huge
revolution in color LCD displayers for hand-held
devices, such as cellular phones, PDAs and DSCs.
White Light Emitting Diode (LED) Module, a new
technology for LCD displayers, plays an important role
in the applications powered by a single-cell Li-ion
battery. Due to the operating voltage limit (3.3V~4.2V)
of single-cell Li-ion battery, it cannot drive white LEDs,
which require a forward voltage at 3.6V.
Therefore, we need a boost circuit, which is powered
by a single-cell Li-ion battery, for white LEDs.
Generally in mobile phone applications, white LEDs
are usually used in two models-series and parallel.
This application note points out several differences
between these two models, and then gives
corresponding solutions.
The Model of White LEDs Driver
Parallel Model-Charge Pump Converter
For driving LEDs, fig.1 shows a parallel model
solution by using AIC1845 as a charge pump
converter, which needs only a few components to
achieve a regulated voltage. Several advantage and
disadvantage characteristics of this solution are as
follows:
Advantage
(1) Three ceramic capacitors are employed to
regulate voltage for driving LEDs with low profile
package, which is suitable for miniature
equipments.
(2) No coil, which may result in noise, is needed to
boost voltage for the charge pump converter. Due
to the advantage, EMI may not happen to mobile
phone application.
Disadvantage
(1) Disproportionate brightness may result from
different forward voltage of each LED, even
though constant voltage provided.
(2) Compare to solutions in serial with same input
voltage, parallel solution has relatively low
efficiency because of the regulation of output.

Brightness Control
As we know, current flows through LEDs will affect its
brightness. This principle can be used to control the
brightness of displayer. The followings describe
suggested methods to control the brightness of LEDs
in parallel and series applications.
Charge Pump Converter-AIC1845
As Fig.8 shows, a PWM signal, of which frequency
ranges from 50Hz to 100Hz, connects at SHDN pin
that controls the brightness by adjusting its duty cycle.
When the signal gets high, the device gets high also,
and then output current flows through the LEDs, and
vice versa. 100% duty cycle results in maximum
brightness, and 0% duty cycle causes darkness.

Inductor Boost Converter-AIC1896
For series applications, several methods, as below,
are solutions for brightness control.
Solution with PWM Signals
Brightness can be controlled either by connecting a
PWM signal, of which frequency ranges from 1kHz to
10kHz, at SHDN pin directly, or by adding a resistor
at FB pin. If SHDN is used (Fig.9 (A)), the increase
of duty cycle enhances brightness. And when
application with FB pin used (Fig.9 (B)), brightness is
weakened by an increasing duty cycle.

Solution with DC Voltage
As the current flowing through LEDs is a factor to
brightness, we use a variable DC voltage to adjust the
voltage across R1, and furthermore, the current gets
adjusted. As Fig.10 illustrates, as the voltage drop on
R3 increases, the voltage drop on R1 gets decreasing,
