In Tiny SOT-23 Package
DESCRIPTION
The EUP2571 is a constant current step-up converter specifically designed to drive white LEDs. The Step-up converter topology allows series connection of the white LEDs so the LED currents are identical for uniform brightness. The EUP2571 switches at 1.1MHz, allowing the use of tiny external components. The input and output capacitor can be as small as 1μF, saving space and cost versus alternative solutions. A low 0.25V feedback voltage minimizes power loss in the current setting resistor for better efficiency.
The EUP2571 is available in low profile SOT23-5, SOT23-6 package.

Application Information
LED Current Control
The EUP2571 regulates the LED current by setting the current sense resistor (R2) connecting to feedback and ground. The internal feedback reference voltage is 0.25V . The LED current can be set from following equation easily.

I 0.25V

In order to have an accurate LED current, precision resistors are preferred (1% is recommended). The table for R2 selection is shown below.

Inductor Selection
The recommended value of inductor for 2 to 6 WLEDs applications are 4.7 to 22μH. Small size and better efficiency are the major concerns for portable device, such as EUP2571 used for mobile phone. The inductor should have low core loss at 1.1MHz and low DCR for better efficiency. To avoid inductor saturation current rating should be considered.
Dimming Control
a. Using a PWM Signal to EN Pin
For controlling the LED brightness, the EUP2571 can perform the dimming control by applying a PWM signal to EN pin. The average LED current is proportional to the PWM signal duty cycle. The magnitude of the PWM signal should be higher than the maximum enable voltage of EN pin, in order to let the dimming control perform correctly.
Figure 4. PWM Dimming Control Using the EN Pin
b. Using a DC Voltage
Using a variable DC voltage to adjust the brightness is a popular method in some applications. The dimming control using a DC voltage circuit is shown in Figure 5. According to the Superposition Theorem, as the DC voltage increases, the voltage contributed to V FB increases and the voltage drop on R2 decreases, i.e. the LED current decreases. For example, if the V DC range is from 0V to 2.8V , the selection of resistors in Figure 5 sets dimming control of LED current from 20mA to 0mA.
Figure 5. Dimming Control Using a DC Voltage
Figure 6. Recommended Soft-Start Circuit
c. Using a Filtered PWM signal
Another common application is using a filtered PWM signal as an adjustable DC voltage for LED dimming control. A filtered PWM signal acts as the DC voltage to regulate the output current. The recommended application circuit is shown in the Figure 7. In this circuit, the output ripple depends on the frequency of PWM signal. For smaller output voltage ripple (<100mV), the recommended frequency of 2.8V PWM signal should be above 2kHz. To fix the frequency of PWM signal and change the duty cycle of PWM signal can get different output current. According to the application circuit of Figure 7, output current is from 20.5mA to 5.5mA by adjusting the PWM duty cycle from 10% to 90%.

Dimming Control Constant Output Voltage for Backlight of Main Panel and Flashlight
Figure 8 is an application of EUP2571 for backlight of main panel and flashlight. Setting the divider-resistors (R1 & R2) is to get a constant output voltage that depends on the forward voltage and the numbers of series-LEDs. There are three kinds of mode controlled by the switches - backlight mode /flashlight mode /backlight + flashlight mode. It can turn on backlight or flashlight at one time or both at the same time. Applying different duty cycle of PWM signal above 22kHz to backlight's switch can also control the brightness. The following formula (2)(3) can determine R3 and R4.

Figure 9 is another application of EUP2571 for backlight and keypad. Setting the divider-resistors (R1 & R2) is to get a constant output voltage that depends on the forward voltage and the numbers of series-LEDs. It can turn on backlight of main panel and keypad at the same time. Applying different duty cycle of PWM signal above 22kHz to the backlight's switch can also control the brightness of main panel's backlight. The keypad's backlight will keep the same brightness during the dimming control of main panel. Otherwise the brightness of keypad's s backlight can also change during the dimming control of main panel by using the application circuit as figure 5. The following formula (5)(6) can determine the resistors of Figure 9.
