Product details
Overview
LP8543SQX/NOPB from Texas Instruments is a 7-channel SMBus/I²C-controlled white LED driver with integrated 38V boost converter, adaptive output voltage control, and digital ambient light sensor interface. It delivers up to 60 mA per channel across 7 current sinks (OUT1–OUT7), supports 5.5V–22V input, and enables phase-shift PWM dimming for LCD backlighting in medium-sized displays (>10 inches).
For engineers reviewing the LP8543SQX/NOPB datasheet, LP8543SQX/NOPB pinout, LP8543SQX/NOPB application, or LP8543SQX/NOPB equivalent, key selection criteria include its 7-channel programmable current sink architecture, adaptive boost efficiency optimization, EEPROM-based ALS-to-backlight curve calibration, thermal regulation with temperature-threshold programming, and dual-group LED control (Display1/Display2) for main + sub-display configurations.
Technical Context
The LP8543SQX/NOPB integrates a high-voltage DC/DC boost converter (38V max, 0.12Ω RDS-ON) with adaptive output voltage control that dynamically adjusts VBOOST based on real-time LED string voltage demands. Its 7 independent current sinks support 0–60 mA per channel with ±3% output accuracy and ≤1.5% matching (OUT1–OUT6) at 20 mA.
Control is implemented via dual-mode serial interface (SMBus v2.0 or I²C, selectable via IF_SEL), external PWM input (0.1–25 kHz), or standalone operation. Phase-shift PWM (PSPWM) reduces peak battery current by staggered LED string activation, while internal EEPROM stores calibrated brightness curves, ALS compensation coefficients, and fault thresholds - all programmable without external voltages.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 5.5V to 22V - supports 2×, 3×, or 4× Li-ion battery stacks with UVLO thresholds configurable for each configuration. |
| Boost Output Voltage | Up to 38V - includes overvoltage protection (VOV = VBOOST + 1.6V @ VBOOST ≥38V) and adaptive feedback for minimum-loss operation. |
| LED Current Sinks | 7 channels (OUT1–OUT7), 0–60 mA per channel with 0.23 mA step resolution - supports independent Display1 (4–7 strings) and Display2 (OUT7 only) grouping. |
| PWM Dimming Resolution | 10-bit at ≤4.5 kHz, 8-bit at 20 kHz - includes phase-shift PWM (PSPWM) to reduce boost converter load variance and improve system efficiency under VF mismatch. |
| Ambient Light Interface | Digital light-to-frequency ALS input (ALSI) with programmable prescaler and user-defined brightness-vs-light curve stored in EEPROM - ALSO output enables external sensor power control. |
| Thermal & Fault Protection | Internal thermal shutdown (TJ = 150°C), LED open/short detection per string, boost overcurrent limit (2.5 A max), and fault reporting via open-drain FAULT pin. |
| Package | WQFN-24 (4.0 mm × 4.0 mm × 0.8 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) - optimized for thermal dissipation (θJA = 35–50°C/W) in space-constrained backlight modules. |
Pinout & Package
LP8543SQX/NOPB uses a 24-pin WQFN package (4.0 × 4.0 × 0.8 mm, 0.5 mm pitch) with exposed thermal pad. Pin functions are validated per TI SNVS604D Rev. March 2013 datasheet.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| GND_SW (Pin 1) | Boost ground reference | Separate ground return for high-current boost switch node - must be routed with low-inductance path to minimize switching noise. |
| PWM (Pin 2) | External PWM dimming input | Accepts 0.1–25 kHz signal; low state disables device in stand-alone mode - requires GND tie if unused. |
| IF_SEL (Pin 3) | Interface mode select | High = SMBus v2.0, Low = I²C-compatible - determines timing compliance and address handling logic. |
| EN (Pin 4) | Enable control | Active-high enable with UVLO hysteresis - disables all circuitry including LDO and boost when pulled low. |
| ALSI (Pin 5) | ALS frequency input | Accepts light-to-frequency sensor output (0.2–2000 kHz); must be tied to GND if ALS not used. |
| ALSO (Pin 6) | ALS enable output | Open-drain active-high output to power external sensor - polarity and timing programmable via EEPROM. |
| FAULT (Pin 7) | Fault status indicator | Open-drain active-low output asserting on LED open/short, boost overcurrent, or thermal shutdown - latched until cleared. |
| VDDIO (Pin 8) | Digital I/O supply | 1.65–5.5V reference for SCLK/SDA/ADR/IF_SEL/PWM/EN - powers internal logic and SMBus/I²C transceivers. |
| GND_S (Pin 9) | Signal ground | Reference for analog inputs (FB, ALSI), digital I/O, and internal LDO - separate from GND_SW and GND_L for noise isolation. |
| SCLK (Pin 10) | Serial clock input | I²C/SMBus clock line - must be tied to GND if interface unused; supports 400 kHz (I²C) or 100 kHz (SMBus) max. |
| SDA (Pin 11) | Serial data I/O | Bidirectional I²C/SMBus data line - open-drain with internal pull-up; requires external pull-up if used in multi-master systems. |
| OUT1–OUT6 (Pins 12–14, 16–18) | Current sink outputs | Individually controllable LED drivers (0–60 mA); OUT1–OUT6 form Display1 group - unused pins may float. |
| GND_L (Pin 15) | LED sink ground | Dedicated ground return for OUT1–OUT7 - must be connected to low-impedance plane to maintain current accuracy and thermal stability. |
| OUT7 (Pin 19) | Independent current sink | Configurable as Display2 (sub-display/backlight) or extended Display1 string - has separate current/PWM registers and fault reporting. |
| ADR (Pin 20) | I²C/SMBus address select | Configures slave address bits (A1/A0); must be tied to GND if single-device bus or default address used. |
| FB (Pin 21) | Boost feedback input | Resistive divider input for VBOOST regulation - sets target output voltage or enables adaptive control via register. |
| VLDO (Pin 22) | LDO output | 5.0V ±0.5V regulated output (4.5–5.5V) capable of sourcing 5 mA - requires 470 nF ceramic capacitor to GND. |
| VIN (Pin 23) | Main power input | 5.5–22V supply for boost converter and internal LDO - bypassed with 10 µF low-ESR ceramic capacitor. |
| SW (Pin 24) | Boost switch node | High-side FET drain connection - connects to inductor (L1) and flyback diode (D1); requires tight layout to minimize EMI. |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the maximum number of LED strings supported by the LP8543SQX/NOPB?
The LP8543SQX/NOPB supports up to seven independent LED current sinks (OUT1–OUT7). These can be configured as either four to seven strings for Display1 (main backlight) and optionally one dedicated string (OUT7) for Display2 (sub-display or status lighting), with EEPROM-defined grouping and independent control registers for each group.
Does the LP8543SQX/NOPB require external components for boost converter operation?
Yes - the LP8543SQX/NOPB requires an external inductor (L1), flyback diode (D1), input capacitor (CIN = 10 µF), output capacitor (COUT = 4.7 µF), and VLDO bypass capacitor (470 nF). The boost FET and compensation network are fully integrated, eliminating need for external MOSFETs or op-amps.
How does the phase-shift PWM (PSPWM) feature improve efficiency in the LP8543SQX/NOPB?
PSPWM in the LP8543SQX/NOPB staggers the ON-time of LED strings to reduce simultaneous current draw. When strings with higher forward voltage are turned off, the boost converter lowers its output voltage - minimizing conduction losses. This dynamic adaptation improves system efficiency by up to 15% under real-world VF mismatch conditions.
Can the LP8543SQX/NOPB operate without a microcontroller?
Yes - the LP8543SQX/NOPB supports stand-alone operation using only the PWM input pin for brightness control and EN for on/off sequencing. In this mode, it uses factory-calibrated EEPROM settings for current, ALS response, and thermal limits - requiring no external MCU or firmware.
What ambient light sensors are compatible with the LP8543SQX/NOPB ALS interface?
The LP8543SQX/NOPB ALS interface is designed for digital light-to-frequency (LTF) sensors such as the OPT3001 or TSL2561. These sensors output a square wave whose frequency scales with illuminance; the LP8543SQX/NOPB measures this frequency on ALSI and applies user-programmed compensation curves stored in EEPROM.
