Product details
Overview
LTC3219EUD#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 9-channel universal LED driver IC with integrated multimode charge pump, delivering up to 250mA total output current across nine independent 28mA current sources. It features 6-bit linear DAC brightness control, I²C-based independent on/off, blinking, and gradation per channel, and operates from 2.9V to 5.5V VBAT for QVGA+ display backlighting in video phones.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3219EUD#PBF datasheet, LTC3219EUD#PBF pinout, LTC3219EUD#PBF application, or LTC3219EUD#PBF equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated pin functions, confirmed alternative parts with documented functional differences, and supply-ready availability details - all grounded in the official LTC3219 datasheet (3219fa) and Linear/Analog Devices product documentation.
Technical Context
The LTC3219EUD#PBF implements an adaptive switched-capacitor charge pump with automatic 1x → 1.5x → 2x mode switching triggered by LED current source dropout detection, optimizing efficiency up to 91% while minimizing EMI via slew-limited flying capacitor switching at 850kHz. Each of the nine ULED outputs supports 64-step linear current control (0–28mA), independent blink timing (1.25s/2.5s period), and gradation ramp times (0.24s/0.48s/0.96s).
It uses a 2-wire I²C interface (400kHz max, slave address 0x36) with register-mapped control (REG0–REG11), supports external asynchronous enable via ENU pin, and integrates internal soft-start, thermal/short-circuit protection, and DVCC-referenced digital I/O. The device resets to 1x mode on I²C register update, ENU falling edge, or gradation completion.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Channels | Nine independent universal LED current sources (ULED1–ULED9), each configurable as constant-current sink or open-drain GPO. |
| Max Total Output Current | 250mA - enables simultaneous driving of multi-segment displays (e.g., 4-main + 2-sub + RGB) without external boost stages. |
| Current Range per Channel | 0–28mA in 64 linear steps - supports precise grayscale control for monochrome or RGB subpixel dimming. |
| Charge Pump Modes | Auto-switching 1x / 1.5x / 2x - maintains regulation under varying LED VF (e.g., 3.2V @ 15mA) while limiting CPO ripple and input current surge. |
| I²C Interface | Standard 2-wire, 400kHz max, fixed slave address 0x36 - enables compact microcontroller integration with no additional level-shifting required for DVCC = 1.5–5.5V. |
| Operating Voltage Range | VBAT: 2.9V–5.5V; DVCC: 1.5V–5.5V - compatible with single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2V) and dual-cell alkaline systems. |
| Package | 20-lead 3mm × 3mm QFN with exposed pad (Pin 21 = GND) - supports high-density layout and thermal dissipation up to 125°C junction temperature. |
Pinout & Package
20-lead (3mm × 3mm) plastic QFN package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 21 = GND). Requires soldering exposed pad to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CPO (1) | Charge pump output | Supplies regulated voltage (1×, 1.5×, or 2× VBAT) to all ULED channels; requires 2.2μF ceramic capacitor to GND. |
| ULED1–ULED9 (2–6, 11–14) | Universal LED current sinks | Each delivers 0–28mA with 6-bit DAC control; can be reconfigured as I²C-controlled open-drain GPO outputs. |
| DVCC (7) | Digital supply reference | Sets logic threshold for SCL/SDA/ENU; powers internal registers; UVLO at 1.0V ensures safe reset on power-up. |
| SCL (8), SDA (9) | I²C serial interface | Standard 2-wire bus (slave address 0x36); DVCC-referenced inputs support mixed-voltage system interfacing. |
| ENU (10) | Asynchronous enable control | Toggles pre-selected ULEDs without I²C traffic; forces 1x mode on falling edge and enables wake-on-call functionality. |
| GND (15, 21) | System ground | Pins 15 and 21 (exposed pad) must both connect to PCB ground plane for EMI suppression and thermal management. |
| C1P/C1M/C2P/C2M (16–20) | Flying capacitor terminals | Connect two 1μF X5R/X7R ceramics (C1P–C1M, C2P–C2M) - critical for charge pump efficiency and low-noise operation. |
| VBAT (18) | Main power input | Supplies entire IC; requires 2.2μF low-ESR ceramic bypass capacitor; UVLO at 1.5V prevents erratic startup. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Multimode charge pump | Automatically selects 1x/1.5x/2x based on real-time ULED dropout - eliminates manual mode selection and maximizes efficiency across varying LED forward voltages. |
| Slew-limited switching | Controlled dV/dt on C1P/C1M/C2P/C2M pins reduces conducted/radiated EMI - meets Class B emissions without shielding or ferrites in handheld designs. |
| Independent per-channel control | Full I²C programmability of on/off, 64-step brightness, blink period (1.25s/2.5s), and gradation ramp time (0.24s/0.48s/0.96s) - enables dynamic UI effects without MCU intervention. |
| Configurable ENU pin | Hardware-toggled enable for pre-programmed ULED subsets - allows low-power wake-up (e.g., incoming call indicator) without waking host processor or reinitializing I²C. |
| Internal soft-start | Linear CPO current ramp over ~125μs during mode transitions - prevents input supply droop and inrush current spikes that could reset co-located circuits. |

FAQ
What is the maximum total output current supported by the LTC3219EUD#PBF?
The LTC3219EUD#PBF supports up to 250mA total output current across its nine ULED channels. This is achieved with each channel delivering up to 28mA (typical full-scale), allowing flexible allocation - for example, 4 main display LEDs at 25mA each, 2 sub-display LEDs at 20mA each, and 3 RGB LEDs at 15mA each totals 230mA, staying within the 250mA limit. The LTC3219EUD#PBF datasheet confirms this rating under typical conditions with proper capacitor selection and thermal management.
Does the LTC3219EUD#PBF require external components to operate?
Yes, the LTC3219EUD#PBF requires five external ceramic capacitors: one 2.2μF (C1/C4) on VBAT and CPO, two 1μF (C2/C3) flying capacitors on C1P/C1M and C2P/C2M, and one 0.1μF (C4) on DVCC. These are mandatory for charge pump operation, noise reduction, and digital supply decoupling. No inductors or external MOSFETs are needed - the LTC3219EUD#PBF integrates all power switches and control logic internally.
Can the LTC3219EUD#PBF drive RGB LEDs independently?
Yes, the LTC3219EUD#PBF can drive RGB LEDs independently using three of its nine ULED channels (e.g., ULED7, ULED8, ULED9), each with full 6-bit linear DAC control (0–28mA), independent blink timing, and gradation ramping. Its I²C interface allows per-channel current programming and synchronization - enabling true RGB color mixing and dynamic effects without additional controllers. This capability is explicitly validated in the LTC3219EUD#PBF typical application circuit (TA01a) showing RGB configuration.
What is the function of the ENU pin on the LTC3219EUD#PBF?
The ENU pin on the LTC3219EUD#PBF provides hardware-level asynchronous enable/disable control for pre-configured ULED subsets - for example, activating only status LEDs during an incoming call without waking the host MCU or reissuing I²C commands. When toggled high, it illuminates selected outputs; on falling edge, it resets the charge pump to 1x mode and can trigger shutdown if no other ULEDs are active. The LTC3219EUD#PBF datasheet specifies ENU logic levels relative to DVCC and mandates grounding if unused.
Is the LTC3219EUD#PBF pin-compatible with other Linear LED drivers?
No, the LTC3219EUD#PBF is not pin-compatible with other Linear/Analog Devices LED drivers such as the LTC3206 or LTC3215. Its 20-pin 3mm × 3mm QFN layout, pin assignments (e.g., dual flying capacitor pairs, dedicated ENU, nine ULED outputs), and internal register map are unique to the LTC3219 family. Substitution requires PCB redesign and firmware adaptation - the LTC3219EUD#PBF datasheet contains no cross-reference or migration path to alternate packages.
