Product details
Overview
LM3503ITL-35/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a dual-display constant-current white LED driver IC with analog brightness control, 35 V over-voltage protection, 1 MHz switching frequency, and 2.5–5.5 V input range-designed for independent MAIN/SUB backlight control in portable dual-screen devices.
For engineers reviewing the LM3503ITL-35/NOPB datasheet, LM3503ITL-35/NOPB pinout, LM3503ITL-35/NOPB application, or LM3503ITL-35/NOPB equivalent, this page delivers verified package mapping (10-bump DSBGA), confirmed dual-FET switch architecture, OVP threshold (32–35 V), analog dimming interface (Cntrl pin), and real-world dual-LED-string timing behavior per TI SNVS329E Rev. May 2013.
Technical Context
The LM3503ITL-35/NOPB implements an asynchronous current-mode PWM boost controller with two integrated FET switches: a PMOS (P1) at VOUT1 for MAIN display control and an NMOS (N2) at VOUT2 for SUB display control. It uses cycle-by-cycle current limiting, dedicated UVP (2.4–2.5 V turn-on), and programmable OVP (32–35 V) to protect against open-circuit LED faults.
Its analog brightness control operates via Cntrl pin voltage (0.2–3.5 V), which linearly sets feedback reference (VFb = 0.156 × VCntrl), enabling precise DC dimming without external DACs. Soft-start eliminates inrush current, and thermal shutdown activates above +150°C junction temperature.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output OVP Threshold | 32.0–35.0 V (enables safe operation with 35 V-rated output capacitors and prevents damage during LED string open-circuit) |
| Switching Frequency | 0.8–1.2 MHz (fixed-frequency operation enables predictable EMI filtering and compact external component selection) |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.5–5.5 V (supports single-cell Li-ion, Li-polymer, and regulated 3.3 V/5 V rails without pre-regulation) |
| Feedback Reference | 0.5–0.6 V (tight tolerance ensures stable LED current regulation across temperature and load variations) |
| Peak Efficiency | >80% (achieved at typical loads of 2–5 LEDs per string, minimizing thermal stress in space-constrained handhelds) |
| Junction Temp Range | −40°C to +125°C (guarantees reliable operation in extended-temperature portable and industrial displays) |
| Quiescent Current | 0.1–3 µA in shutdown mode (critical for battery life preservation when displays are inactive) |
Pinout & Package
LM3503ITL-35/NOPB uses a 10-bump thin DSBGA package (YPA0010), height <1 mm, optimized for ultra-thin portable designs. Thermal performance: θJA = 65°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Input power supply connection | Accepts 2.5–5.5 V; requires local 4.7 µF ceramic capacitor to minimize input ripple and EMI |
| Sw | Drain of internal NMOS power switch (N1) | Connects to boost inductor; trace must be short/wide to reduce switching losses and radiated noise |
| En1 | PMOS FET (P1) enable for MAIN display | Logic-high (≥1.4 V) disables MAIN segment; internal pull-down keeps MAIN off by default |
| En2 | NMOS FET (N2) enable for SUB display | Logic-high (≥1.4 V) disables SUB segment; floating or grounded if VOUT2 unused |
| Fb | Feedback voltage sensing node | Monitors regulated output; connects to resistor divider from VOUT2 to set LED current |
| Cntrl | Analog brightness control input | 0.2–3.5 V DC input scales VFb linearly; RC-filtered PWM also supported |
| AGND | Analog ground reference | Must be tied directly to PGND to prevent noise coupling into feedback path |
| PGND | Power ground return | Low-impedance connection to PCB ground plane; die attach pad (DAP) soldered to GND for thermal relief |
| VOUT1 | OVP sense node & PMOS source (P1) | Connects to MAIN LED string anode; OVP comparator monitors this pin for 32–35 V fault condition |
| VOUT2 | Drain of NMOS bypass FET (N2) & SUB string cathode | Used only when SUB display active; 100 nF capacitor required if unused (per TI SNVS329E p.2) |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent LED string control | Separate En1/En2 logic enables MAIN-only, SUB-only, or both-on states-no external multiplexers needed |
| Programmable 35 V over-voltage protection | Hardware-enforced OVP threshold prevents catastrophic failure during LED open-circuit or disconnection |
| Analog + PWM brightness control | Cntrl pin accepts DC voltage or filtered PWM (≥10× RC bandwidth); supports flicker-free dimming down to 0.1 mA |
| Integrated soft-start | Gradually ramps current limit at startup to eliminate inrush current spikes that could destabilize supply rails |
| Ultra-low profile packaging | 10-bump DSBGA (1.5 × 1.5 mm, <1 mm height) fits beneath narrow bezels in smartphones and PDAs |
| Thermal shutdown protection | Automatically disables switching above +150°C junction temperature, preventing permanent silicon damage |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual-display LED driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LM3503ITL-44/NOPB | Higher OVP threshold (40.5–43.5 V); identical pinout, package, and control logic | Required for 44 V-rated LED strings or systems with higher output capacitance/voltage transients | Select when system-level OVP margin must exceed 35 V; no layout change needed |
| TPS61165DRVR | Single-output, 40 V OVP, I²C interface, no dual-string enable logic | Lacks En1/En2 hardware control; requires MCU firmware to manage dual-display sequencing | Choose for I²C-configurable brightness and fault reporting where software control is acceptable |
Compared with LM3503ITL-44/NOPB, the LM3503ITL-35/NOPB offers tighter OVP clamping for cost-sensitive 35 V LED stacks, while TPS61165DRVR trades hardware dual-control for digital configurability-making LM3503ITL-35/NOPB optimal for deterministic, low-latency dual-display timing without MCU overhead.

FAQ
What is the exact over-voltage protection threshold for LM3503ITL-35/NOPB?
The LM3503ITL-35/NOPB has a guaranteed OVP turn-on threshold of 32.0–35.0 V and turn-off threshold of 31.0–34.0 V, as specified in TI SNVS329E Rev. May 2013 Table 1. This 35 V rating applies exclusively to the VOUT1 pin and is factory-trimmed-no external components affect this value. The LM3503ITL-35/NOPB enters shutdown when VOUT1 exceeds the upper threshold, protecting downstream LEDs and capacitors.
Can LM3503ITL-35/NOPB drive both MAIN and SUB displays simultaneously?
Yes, LM3503ITL-35/NOPB can drive both MAIN and SUB displays concurrently. When En1 ≥1.4 V and En2 ≥1.4 V, the internal PMOS (P1) and NMOS (N2) FETs are both disabled, allowing current to flow through both LED strings-MAIN from VOUT1 to VOUT2, and SUB from VOUT2 to Fb. This configuration is explicitly validated in TI's Figure 4 operational table and requires no additional logic circuitry.
What package type does LM3503ITL-35/NOPB use, and is it RoHS-compliant?
LM3503ITL-35/NOPB uses a 10-bump thin DSBGA package (YPA0010, 1.5 × 1.5 mm, <1 mm height) with NiPdAu bump finish. Per TI's official documentation and part marking, LM3503ITL-35/NOPB is RoHS-compliant and lead-free, with "NOPB" suffix confirming exemption from lead-based finishes. The die attach pad (DAP) must be soldered to the PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity.
How does analog brightness control work on LM3503ITL-35/NOPB?
LM3503ITL-35/NOPB implements analog brightness control via the Cntrl pin: VFb = 0.156 × VCntrl, where VCntrl ranges from 0.2 V to 3.5 V. This linear relationship directly scales the feedback reference, adjusting LED current without changing switching frequency or introducing PWM artifacts. The LM3503ITL-35/NOPB maintains regulation accuracy across temperature, as confirmed by TI's Figure 21–22 performance curves.
Is LM3503ITL-35/NOPB pin-compatible with other LM3503 variants?
Yes, LM3503ITL-35/NOPB shares identical pinout and package (10-bump DSBGA) with LM3503ITL-16/NOPB, LM3503ITL-25/NOPB, and LM3503ITL-44/NOPB. All variants use the same YPA0010 footprint and bump assignment per TI SNVS329E Figure 1. OVP threshold differences are internal and do not affect PCB layout-only the BOM and functional validation need updating when substituting between versions.
