LP3311S
High Performance, Constant Current Switching
Regulator For 8PCS White LED In Series
General Description
The LP3311S is a 1MHz PWM boost switching regulator
designed for constant current white LED driver applications.
The LP3311S can drive a string of up to 8 white LED in
series, ensuring uniform brightness and eliminating several
ballast resistors. The LP3311S implements a constant
frequency 1MHz PWM control scheme. The high frequency
PWM operation also saves board space by reducing
external component size. To improve efficiency, the
feedback voltage is set to 200 mV, which reduces the
power dissipation in the current setting resistor. Highly
integration and internal compensation network minimizes
as 5 external component counts. Optimized operation
frequency can meet the requirement of small LC filters
value and low operation current with high efficiency.

Applications Information
LED Current Control
The LP3311S regulates the LED current by setting the
current sense resistor (R1) connecting to feedback
and ground. The internal feedback reference voltage is
200mV. The LED current can be set from following
equation easily.
ILED=200mV/R1
In order to have an accurate LED current, precision
resistors are preferred (1% is recommended). The
table for R1 selection is shown below.
Inductor Selection
The recommended value of inductor for 2 to 10
WLEDs applications are 4.7 to 22µH. Small size and
better efficiency are the major concerns for portable
device, such as LP3311S used for mobile phone. The
inductor should have low core loss at 1MHz and low
DCR for better efficiency. To avoid inductor saturation
current rating should be considered.

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 4.
According to the Superposition Theorem, as the DC
voltage increases, the voltage contributed to VFB
increases and the voltage drop on R2 decreases, i.e.
the LED current decreases. For example, if the VDC
range is from 0V to 2.8V, the selection of resistors in
Figure 4 sets dimming control of LED current from
20mA to 0mA.
Dimming control
a. Using a PWM Signal to EN Pin
For controlling the LED brightness, the LP3311S can
perform the dimming control by applying a PWM signal
to EN pin. The internal soft-start and wide range
dimming
frequency from 100Hz to 1MHz can

insignificantly reduce audio noise when dimming. 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.
c. Using a Filtered PWM signal
VDC
10R
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
