ACTIVE

The RT4533A is a highly integrated LED driver IC capable of driving 10 WLEDs in series. It is composed of a current mode Boost converter integrated with a 36.5V/1.2A power switch. The RT4533A supports a wide input voltage range from 2.5V to 5.5V and runs at a fixed frequency of 1.1MHz. The LED current is set via an external resistor and the feedback voltage is regulated to 300mV. For brightness dimming, the RT4533A supports PWM dimming which determines the feedback reference voltage.

If there is any missing or damaged component, which may occur during transportation, please contact our distributors or e-mail us at evb_service@richtek.com.



Test Points

The EVB is provided with the test points and pin names listed in the table below.

Signal Name

Description

LX

Switch Node

This is the switching node of the IC. Connect the switched side of the inductor to LX. This pin is also used to sense the output voltage for open LED protection.

GND

Ground

Ground.

FB

Feedback Voltage Input

Connect the sense resistor from FB to GND.

EN

Enable Control Input

Control pin of the boost converter. It is a multifunctional pin which can be used for enable control and PWM dimming.

VOUT

Output Voltage

The output supply pin for the IC.

VIN

Supply Voltage Input

The input supply pin for the IC. Support 2.5V to 5.5V Input Voltage.



Power-Up & Measurement Procedure

1. Apply 3.6V nominal input power supply (2.5V < VIN < 5.5V) to the VIN and GND terminals.

2. The EN voltage is pulled to logic high by internal circuit to enable operation. Drive EN high (>1.05V) to enable operation or low (<0.4V) to disable operation. Pull EN pin to High pin that make EN voltage equal to VIN.

3. There is a 2-pin header JP2 “EN” for enable control. To use a jumper at “H” option to tie EN test pin to input power VIN for enabling the device. Inversely, to use a jumper at “L” option to tie EN test pin and ground GND for disabling the device.

4. The JP5 is the PWM control pin.

5. The ILED setting supports PWM dimming as below.


Output ILED Setting

1. PWM Brightness Dimming

The EN pin is used for the control input for both PWM dimming mode and digital dimming mode. Shutdown delay when the EN voltage is logic low for more than specific time, the driver will be shut down.

2. OCP

The driver provides cycle-by-cycle current limit function to control the current on power switch. The boost switch turns off when the inductor current reaches this current threshold and it remains off until the beginning of the next switching cycle. This protects the RT4533A and external component under overload conditions.

3. OVP

The Over Voltage Protection is detected by a resistor divider circuit from VOUT. Once VOUT goes over the OVP voltage, LX pin stops switching and the power N-MOSFET will be turned off. Then, the VOUT will be discharged by external resistor. OVP will be released until EN goes from Lo to Hi again.

4. OTP

As the die temperature is higher than 160°C, the chip also will enter protection mode. The power MOSFET will be turned off during protection mode to prevent abnormal operation. The device is released from shutdown automatically when the junction temperature decreases by 15°C.
