PCC Serial Digital Interface

The ZLED7022 detects the rising edges of the control signal input on the EN/SET pin via an internal counter and decodes the

signal into one of the 14 current level settings given in Table 2.1. The control signal timing can vary (even during a programming

cycle), and its frequency can range from high data rates (e.g., 1MHz) to very low rates (e.g., 15kHz). (Also see section 2.4.) After

(500μs minimum) so

that the ZLED7022 latches the programmed current level code into the data register and the current level becomes active as

illustrated in Figure 2.1. The internal counter is then reset to zero to be ready for the next programming cycle. This process is

repeated for the next data sent by the control system for subsequent current level programming. See section 2.4 regarding the

500μs minimum).

Operating Conditions

3.1.

RF Noise Reduction

The ZLED7022 charge pump operates at a fixed frequency of 1MHz (typical) to limit noise and harmonics and prevent generation

of RF interference by the ZLED7022, which could affect operation of local communication devices, such as cell phones. The soft-

start feature also prevents noise transients caused by inrush currents due to charge pump start-up.

The ZLED7022 has significantly lower back-injected noise at the input pin of the charge pump (typically 60mV peak-to-peak),

compared to inductor-based DC/DC boost converter solutions for white LED backlight applications (typically 10 times higher).

ZLED7022 Thermal Protection

The ZLED7022 includes an on-board temperature sensing circuit that shuts down the ZLED7022 and turns off its outputs if the die

junction temperature exceeds 160°C (typical).
