BD1604MUV, BD1604MVV Technical Note ●Description of Block Operations 1) LED light control and current control When LED lights are controlled, H- or L-level voltage is applied to respective control pins. Current control in the BD1604MUV/MVV can take place via a resistance connected to the ISET pin.

ILED=480/Rset The above expression can be used for approximation. 2) Low supply voltage detection circuit (UVLO) When the IC-applied supply voltage drops, all the circuits including the DC/DC converter are stopped. When supply voltage drops to a detecting voltage, UVLO is activated. When it rises, UVLO is automatically released. 3) Soft start by DC/DC converter startup When a DC/DC converter is started, soft start is enabled so that output voltage can be increased gradually to prevent output voltage overshooting. ●Application Parts Selection Method Capacitor (Use the ceramics parts with good frequency and temperature characteristics.)

BD1604MUV, BD1604MVV Technical Note ●Cautions on layout pattern When designing a layout pattern, lay out wires to a power line in a way that the layout pattern impedance can be minimized and connect a bypass capacitor if necessary.

Fig.15 Example of BD1604MUV Layout Pattern Fig.16 Example of BD1604MUV Layout Pattern (Front, Top View) (Rear, Top View) ●LED Current Control There are two methods for LED current control. One method uses an external PWM signal and another changes the resistance value of RREF (RSET) connected to the IREF (ISET) pin. For details, refer to the respective circuit examples. Don’t make the setting of 30mA or more per channel for BD1604MUV/MVV. 1) Controlling the current by using the PWM method The PWN signal must be input to the EN pin. PWM signal “H” level: 1.4V or more PWM signal “L” level: 0.4V or less When PWM Duty is used in an area of 10% or less, the PWM cycle must be a range from 100Hz to 200Hz. When extremely high-speed PWM control takes place, the linearity of LED current value to PWM duty is lost if the PWM duty is small (for example, 10% or less) or it is large (for example, 90% or more). 2) Controlling the current by changing the SET resistance value Rset-Rset1=Rset2// … //Restn. This means that the current can be adjusted more finely by adding the types of resistance values. ILED=480/Rset [A] The approximate LED current can be obtained from the above expression. Because the current of 30mA or more per LED is not permitted, make the setting in a way that the Rset resistance value can be maintained to be greater than or equal to16kΩ.

BD1604MUV, BD1604MVV Technical Note ●Notes for Use (1) Absolute Maximum Ratings An excess in the absolute maximum ratings, such as supply voltage, temperature range of operating conditions, etc., can break down devices, thus making impossible to identify breaking mode such as a short circuit or an open circuit. If any special mode exceeding the absolute maximum ratings is assumed, consideration should be given to take physical safety measures including the use of fuses, etc. (2) Operating conditions These conditions represent a range within which characteristics can be provided approximately as expected. The electrical characteristics are guaranteed under the conditions of each parameter. (3) Reverse connection of power supply connector The reverse connection of power supply connector can break down ICs. Take protective measures against the breakdown due to the reverse connection, such as mounting an external diode between the power supply and the IC’s power supply terminal. (4) Power supply line Design PCB pattern to provide low impedance for the wiring between the power supply and the GND lines. In this regard, for the digital block power supply and the analog block power supply, even though these power supplies has the same level of potential, separate the power supply pattern for the digital block from that for the analog block, thus suppressing the diffraction of digital noises to the analog block power supply resulting from impedance common to the wiring patterns. For the GND line, give consideration to design the patterns in a similar manner. Furthermore, for all power supply terminals to ICs, mount a capacitor between the power supply and the GND terminal. At the same time, in order to use an electrolytic capacitor, thoroughly check to be sure the characteristics of the capacitor to be used present no problem including the occurrence of capacity dropout at a low temperature, thus determining the constant. (5) GND voltage Make setting of the potential of the GND terminal so that it will be maintained at the minimum in any operating state. Furthermore, check to be sure no terminals are at a potential lower than the GND voltage including an actual electric transient. (6) Short circuit between terminals and erroneous mounting In order to mount ICs on a set PCB, pay thorough attention to the direction and offset of the ICs. Erroneous mounting can break down the ICs. Furthermore, if a short circuit occurs due to foreign matters entering between terminals or between the terminal and the power supply or the GND terminal, the ICs can break down. (7) Operation in strong electromagnetic field Be noted that using ICs in the strong electromagnetic field can malfunction them. (8) Inspection with set PCB On the inspection with the set PCB, if a capacitor is connected to a low-impedance IC terminal, the IC can suffer stress. Therefore, be sure to discharge from the set PCB by each process. Furthermore, in order to mount or dismount the set PCB to/from the jig for the inspection process, be sure to turn OFF the power supply and then mount the set PCB to the jig. After the completion of the inspection, be sure to turn OFF the power supply and then dismount it from the jig. In addition, for protection against static electricity, establish a ground for the assembly process and pay thorough attention to the transportation and the storage of the set PCB. (9) Input terminals In terms of the construction of IC, parasitic elements are inevitably formed in relation to potential. The operation of the parasitic element can cause interference with circuit operation, thus resulting in a malfunction and then breakdown of the input terminal. Therefore, pay thorough attention not to handle the input terminals, such as to apply to the input terminals a voltage lower than the GND respectively, so that any parasitic element will operate. Furthermore, do not apply a voltage to the input terminals when no power supply voltage is applied to the IC. In addition, even if the power supply voltage is applied, apply to the input terminals a voltage lower than the power supply voltage or within the guaranteed value of electrical characteristics. (10) Ground wiring pattern If small-signal GND and large-current GND are provided, It will be recommended to separate the large-current GND pattern from the small-signal GND pattern and establish a single ground at the reference point of the set PCB so that resistance to the wiring pattern and voltage fluctuations due to a large current will cause no fluctuations in voltages of the small-signal GND. Pay attention not to cause fluctuations in the GND wiring pattern of external parts as well. www.rohm.com 8/10 2011.06 - Rev.B © 2011 ROHM Co., Ltd. All rights reserved.

BD1604MUV, BD1604MVV Technical Note (11) External capacitor In order to use a ceramic capacitor as the external capacitor, determine the constant with consideration given to a degradation in the nominal capacitance due to DC bias and changes in the capacitance due to temperature, etc. (12) Not connecting input terminals In terms of extremely high impedance of CMOS gate, to open the input terminals causes unstable state. Unstable state occurs from the inside gate voltage of p-channel or n-channel transistor into active. As a result, power supply current may increase. And unstable state can also cause unexpected operation of IC. So unless otherwise specified, input terminals not being used should be connected to the power supply or GND line. (13) Thermal shutdown circuit (TSD) When junction temperatures become setting temperature or higher, the thermal shutdown circuit operates and turns a switch OFF. The thermal shutdown circuit, which is aimed at isolating the LSI from thermal runaway as much as possible, is not aimed at the protection or guarantee of the LSI. Therefore, do not continuously use the LSI with this circuit operating or use the LSI assuming its operation. (14) Thermal design Perform thermal design in which there are adequate margins by taking into account the permissible dissipation (Pd) in actual states of use. ●Thermal Loss The following conditions must be met for thermal design. (Because the following temperature is only the assured temperature, be sure to consider the margin for design.) 1. The ambient temperature Ta must be 85˚C. 2. The IC loss must be smaller than an allowable loss (Pd). ●Power dissipation character The following shows the power dissipation character. 1 1 0.78W W] 0.8 W] 0.8 Pd[ Pd[ 0.70W N : N : ATIO 0.6 ATIO 0.6 P P SI SI S S R DI 0.4 R DI 0.4 WE WE O O P 0.2 P 0.2 0 0 0 25 50 75 100 125 150 0 25 50 75 100 125 150 TEMPARATURE[℃] TEMPARATURE[℃] Fig.20 BD1604MUV Fig.19 BD1604MVV Mount board specification Material : Glass epoxy Size : 70mm × 70mm × 1.6mm www.rohm.com 9/10 2011.06 - Rev.B © 2011 ROHM Co., Ltd.
