OPERATION
LTC3220/LTC3220-1
Power Management
The LTC3220/LTC3220-1 use a switched capacitor charge
pump to boost CPO as much as 2 times the input voltage
up to 5.1V. The part starts up in 1x mode. In this mode,

maximum effi ciency and minimum noise. The LTC3220/
LTC3220-1 will remain in 1x mode until an LED current
source drops out. Dropout occurs when a current source
voltage becomes too low for the programmed current
to be supplied. When dropout is detected, the LTC3220/
LTC3220-1 will switch into 1.5x mode. The CPO voltage
will then start to increase and will attempt to reach 1.5×
V
part to enter the 2x mode. The CPO voltage will attempt
to reach 2× V
A 2-phase non-overlapping clock activates the charge
pump switches. In the 2x mode the fl ying capacitors are
charged on alternate clock phases from V
CPO voltage ripple. In 1.5x mode the fl ying capacitors are
charged in series during the fi rst clock phase and stacked
in parallel on V

at a constant frequency of 850kHz.
The current delivered by each LED current source is con-
trolled by an associated DAC. Each DAC is programmed

Soft-Start
Initially, when the part is in shutdown, a weak switch
connects V
CPO output capacitor and prevent large charging currents
from occurring.
The LTC3220/LTC3220-1 also employ a soft-start feature
on the charge pump to prevent excessive inrush current
and supply droop when switching into the step-up modes.
The current available to the CPO pin is increased linearly
over a typical period of 125μs. Soft-start occurs at the
start of both 1.5x and 2x mode changes.
Charge Pump Strength
When the LTC3220/LTC3220-1 operate in either 1.5x mode
or 2x mode, the charge pump can be modeled as a Theve-
nin-equivalent circuit to determine the amount of current
available from the effective input voltage and effective
