Product details
Overview
ADM8845ACPZ-REEL7 from Analog Devices is a 16-pin LFCSP charge pump LED driver IC designed to power up to six white LEDs for LCD backlighting in portable devices. It supports 2.6 V–5.5 V Li-ion input, delivers up to 30 mA per LED with ≤1% current matching, and features automatic 1×/1.5×/2× gain switching for >88% efficiency - used in dual-display cellular phones and micro-TFT color displays.
For engineers reviewing the ADM8845ACPZ-REEL7 datasheet, ADM8845ACPZ-REEL7 pinout, ADM8845ACPZ-REEL7 application, or ADM8845ACPZ-REEL7 equivalent, key selection criteria include LED current matching accuracy, fractional charge pump mode thresholds (e.g., 1.5×→2× at 3.33 V ±4%), ISET-based current programming (RSET = 7.08 kΩ for 20 mA), soft-start behavior, and dual independent shutdown control via CTRL1/CTRL2.
Technical Context
The ADM8845ACPZ-REEL7 integrates six independent current-controlled sinks with feedback pins FB1–FB6, enabling precise per-LED current regulation and 1% matching across temperature and supply voltage. Its charge pump operates at 1.5 MHz and automatically selects 1×, 1.5×, or 2× gain based on VCC and LED forward voltage headroom requirements.
Control logic interprets digital inputs CTRL1 and CTRL2 to manage main/sub display enable states and support PWM dimming (100 Hz–200 kHz) without chromatic shift. The ISET pin sets reference current (1.18 V / RSET), internally scaled 120× to drive LEDs - ensuring compliance voltage ≥0.20 V (typ.) at 20 mA/LED.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.6 V to 5.5 V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion battery operation across full discharge curve. |
| Max LED Current | 30 mA per channel - guaranteed by design (not 100% production tested); enables high-brightness backlighting. |
| Current Matching | ±1% max - ensures uniform brightness across multi-LED color LCD panels without visual banding. |
| Charge Pump Efficiency | 88% typical - achieved at VCC = 3.4 V, 20 mA/LED, minimizing thermal load in space-constrained handsets. |
| Charge Pump Modes | 1×/1.5×/2× auto-switching - thresholds at 3.33 V (1.5×→2×), 4.77 V (1×→1.5×), with 40 mV hysteresis for stable mode transitions. |
| ISET Scaling Factor | 120× - converts ISET current (set by RSET to GND) into precise LED current; e.g., 167 µA ISET → 20 mA LED. |
| Shutdown Current | 5 µA - ultra-low quiescent draw during display-off states, extending battery life in always-on UIs. |
Pinout & Package
ADM8845ACPZ-REEL7 is housed in a 3 mm × 3 mm × 0.75 mm, 16-lead LFCSP (CP-16-222) with exposed paddle soldered to GND for thermal performance (θJA = 39.25°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VOUT (Pin 1) | Charge pump output | Drives anode side of all LEDs; requires 2.2 µF capacitor to GND for stability and ripple suppression. |
| ISET (Pin 3) | Bias current reference input | Sets LED current via external RSET (e.g., 7.08 kΩ → 20 mA); internal 1.18 V reference enables accurate scaling. |
| FB1–FB6 (Pins 4–9) | LED cathode current-sense terminals | Each connects to one LED cathode; enables individual current regulation and 1% matching across all six channels. |
| CTRL1 / CTRL2 (Pins 12–13) | Digital control inputs | CMOS-level pins defining main/sub display enable state (truth table) and supporting PWM dimming (100 Hz–200 kHz). |
| VCC (Pin 15) | Main supply input | Accepts 2.6–5.5 V; requires 4.7 µF decoupling capacitor to maintain charge pump regulation under dynamic load. |
| GND (Pin 10) | Ground reference | Common return for all circuitry; exposed paddle must be connected to GND plane for thermal and electrical integrity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Auto-switching fractional charge pump | 1×/1.5×/2× modes dynamically selected to maximize efficiency across Li-ion voltage range (2.6–5.5 V). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar LED backlight driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM3530TMX/NOPB | Uses I²C interface for brightness control; no auto-gain charge pump - fixed 1.5× boost only. | Requires MCU firmware integration; less suitable for simple GPIO-only systems. | Choose LM3530TMX/NOPB when programmable dimming curves and fault reporting via I²C are needed. |
| TPS61165DRVR | Single-output boost converter (not multi-channel); supports up to 30 mA total, not per LED. | Limited to monochrome or single-zone backlighting; no independent main/sub control. | Choose TPS61165DRVR for cost-sensitive, single-display applications where per-LED matching is unnecessary. |
Compared with LM3530TMX/NOPB and TPS61165DRVR, the ADM8845ACPZ-REEL7 uniquely delivers six independently regulated current sinks with auto-switching charge pump gain - making it the only option supporting dual-zone, high-matching backlighting in a single 3×3 mm package without serial interface overhead.

FAQ
What is the maximum number of LEDs the ADM8845ACPZ-REEL7 can drive simultaneously?
The ADM8845ACPZ-REEL7 can drive up to six white LEDs simultaneously - four assigned to the main display (FB1–FB4) and two to the sub display (FB5–FB6). Each LED channel supports up to 30 mA with ≤1% current matching, and unused FBx pins may be left floating or tied to GND without affecting operation.
How does the ADM8845ACPZ-REEL7 achieve 1% LED current matching?
The ADM8845ACPZ-REEL7 achieves ≤1% LED current matching through six independent current-controlled sinks, each sensing its respective LED current via dedicated FBx pins and referencing a common 1.18 V ISET voltage. This architecture maintains matching across temperature (−40°C to +85°C) and supply voltage (2.6 V to 5.5 V), as verified in Figures 5 and 6 of the Rev. D datasheet.
Can the ADM8845ACPZ-REEL7 support PWM dimming without external components?
Yes - the ADM8845ACPZ-REEL7 supports direct PWM dimming via its CTRL1 and CTRL2 pins, accepting 100 Hz–200 kHz digital signals to modulate main and/or sub display brightness. No external RC filters or DACs are required; duty cycle directly controls average LED current while preserving color consistency.
What is the purpose of the exposed paddle on the ADM8845ACPZ-REEL7 package?
The exposed paddle on the ADM8845ACPZ-REEL7 must be soldered to the PCB ground plane to ensure proper thermal dissipation (θJA = 39.25°C/W) and electrical stability. It is not optional - failure to connect it degrades efficiency, increases junction temperature, and risks thermal shutdown or long-term reliability issues.
Does the ADM8845ACPZ-REEL7 require different external capacitors for each charge pump mode?
No - the ADM8845ACPZ-REEL7 uses the same external capacitor set (C1 = 1 µF, C2 = 1 µF, C3 = 2.2 µF, C4 = 4.7 µF) across all 1×, 1.5×, and 2× charge pump modes. These values are optimized for stability and ripple suppression regardless of operating gain, as confirmed in Table 1 and Figure 11–15 of the datasheet.
