AN-861 APPLICATION NOTE One Technology Way • P.O. Box 9106 • Norwood, MA 02062-9106, U.S.A. • Tel: 781.329.4700 • Fax: 781.461.3113 • www.analog.com ADP1653 Evaluation and Test Methods by Leo Chou and Adrian Fox GENERAL DESCRIPTION This application note presents some methods used in evaluating the ADP1653 white LED driver. The ADP1653 evaluation board, sold by Analog Devices, Inc., is used during the evaluation, but users may choose to design their own evaluation boards. For simplicity, however, all the testing procedures in this application note are based on the Analog Devices ADP1653 evaluation board. There are also switches on the board that allow users to easily change voltages at certain pins. Note, however, that even though this application note is based on the ADP1653 evaluation board, it is not a user manual that shows how to use the board and the included software. For more details, see the document ADP1653 Flash LED Driver Evaluation Board Manual. The ADP1653 evaluation board is designed specifically for the purpose of evaluation. There are numerous jumpers and test points on the board for users to measure currents, voltages, or probe important nodes.

AN-861 DAUGHTER BOARD AN-861 GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS CABLES Because the ADP1653 is a high current, high power device, the cables used to connect the power supply to the chip must be as thick and short as possible to minimize the series resistance. However, no matter how short and thick a cable is, it still has a finite resistance, and the voltage at the VBAT pin is lower than the power supply voltage. For example, if the cable resistance is 0.1 Ω and the input current is 1 A, there is a 0.1 V drop between the power supply and the VBAT pin. That means if the supply is set to 2.8 V, the chip gets only 2.7 V, and, in some cases, this can trigger the UVLO. Users are, therefore, advised to take into account the IR drop across cables. It is recommended that the voltage be measured at VBAT with a voltmeter and the supply adjusted until the desired VBAT voltage is obtained. AMMETER Even though an ammeter is convenient to use, because of the large current levels in power devices its internal resistance could cause incorrect measurements. As a result, care must be taken when using an ammeter. Users should ensure that the scale is set to the order of magnitude of the current being used to minimize the series resistance of the ammeter. For example, when measuring a current that is expected to be on the order of hundreds of microamperes, the scale should be set to hundreds of microamperes or a few milliamperes. If the current measured is going to be high (hundreds of milliamperes or even amperes), then using an ammeter could cause a significant error. In such cases, a small, high precision power resistor should be used. A good choice is a 1%, 0.1 Ω power strip that has a rating of several amps. Then, measuring the voltage across the resistor and dividing it by the resistance gives the current reading. TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT Because the Cypress CY7C68013A chip on the motherboard is not rated at −40°C, it is not recommended to subject the motherboard to temperature testing. As a result, a ribbon cable is provided so users can separate the motherboard and daughter board for temperature measurement. Connect both ends of the ribbon cable to the headers on the motherboard and daughter board and place only the daughter board under temperature stress. Rev. 0 | Page 5 of 20 AN-861 EVALUATION METHODS SHUTDOWN CURRENT To measure the shutdown current, connect an ammeter in series with the power supply and the VBAT pin. The ammeter should have enough resolution to measure down to tens of nanoamperes. Otherwise, it is difficult to distinguish the actual current from noise.

This means only one LED is on, and VBAT is greater than VOUT. To measure the supply current with boost disabled, place a jumper on J2 to short out one of the LEDs, and make sure the supply voltage is greater than the forward voltage of the diode. The Tx mask voltage can be set to either HI, LO, or left floating. The current is different in each case. See the ADP1653 data sheet for more information on Tx mask.

To measure UVLO (VDD falling), power up the part and use the software to turn on the ILED. Then slowly decrease the supply voltage in 1 mV steps until the ILED turns off. The voltage at which turn-off occurs is the UVLO (VDD falling). The UVLO is the VBAT voltage required to turn on or turn off the part. There are two UVLOs: UVLO (VDD rising) is the voltage at which the part turns on, and UVLO (VDD falling) is the voltage at which the part turns off. To measure UVLO (VDD rising), apply a low voltage to the part and slowly increase it, 1 mV at a time. For each increase in the voltage steps, use the software to try to turn on the ILED.

This prevents a large inrush current to the chip, as well as accidental tripping of the overvoltage threshold. To measure the OUT soft start ramp rate, hook up a scope to the OUT pin. In the example shown in Figure 14, the soft start ramp rate is 3.52 V 183 μs = 19.23 V/ μs Δ: 183µs @: –102µs 06320-014 Use the software to program the first flash setting to the part.

Capture the output voltage waveform on the scope, and measure the amount of rise in the output voltage and the time it takes. Dividing the output voltage rise by the time yields the soft start ramp rate. Δ: 3.52V @: 2.88V 1 CH1 1.00V M40.0µs T 50.00% A CH1 Figure 14.

Measuring Inrush Current at Startup When the ADP1653 first starts boosting, it may initially draw slightly more current than required, which is known as the start-up inrush current. To measure the inrush current, place a current probe on the positive power supply cable, use the software to program the HPLED register to the desired setting (press the strobe button if in the flash mode), and capture the input current waveform on the scope. 1 06320-016 Figure 16 shows an example of the start-up inrush current, and the overshoot is the inrush current. How much overshoot there is depends on the external components, such as the input/output capacitors. CH1 MAX 28.0mV CH1 10.0mV Ω M100µs T 0.0s A CH1 15.4mV Figure 16. Typical Supply Inrush Current Waveform Rev. 0 | Page 15 of 20 AN-861 Under normal boost conditions, VLED ≈ 6.5 V; therefore, POUT = 3.25 W, and the efficiency loss due to the sense resistor is 0.77%. The user can add that loss back to the calculated efficiency to get the real efficiency. EFFICIENCY Torch Mode LED efficiency is computed using the following equation: VLED × I OUT V BAT × I IN When measuring VLED, the two terminals of the voltmeter must be connected to the OUT pin and the HPLED pin, respectively. This measures the voltage across the LEDs, and the efficiency computed from it is the LED efficiency. If the negative terminal of the voltmeter is connected to ground, then the voltage measured is the pure boosted output voltage, and the efficiency calculated is the boost efficiency. The LED efficiency is always lower than the boost efficiency, because there is approximately a 350 mV loss at the HPLED pin when the part is boosting. The user must first measure VLED, IOUT, VBAT, and IIN separately. VBAT and IIN are easily measured with a voltmeter and an ammeter. For IOUT, it is recommended that a high power currentsensing resistor of a small value be used, such as 0.1 Ω. Solder the leads of the resistor directly onto Jumper J3 without using any wires, because the wire resistance could be on the same order of magnitude as that of the resistor. Measure the voltage drop across the resistor and divide it by the resistance to compute the output current. Note that there is some loss in efficiency due to the current-sensing resistor. The amount of loss depends on the size of the resistor. For example, if R = 0.1 Ω and IOUT = 500 mA, then VLOSS = 0.05 V and PLOSS = 25 mW. In addition, when measuring the efficiency at different output currents and a fixed VBAT voltage, increasing the output current inevitably decreases the supply voltage that the part receives due to the internal resistance of the cables. As a result, the user must adjust the power supply so the voltage at the VBAT pin stays constant.

To measure IOUT, place a thick wire loop on Jumper J3 and use another current probe to measure the current. Flash Mode Efficiency measurement in the flash mode is not as straightforward as in the torch mode because the boost only lasts less than a second. As a result, scopes must be used to capture the waveforms. Use a 4-channel scope to capture VBAT, IIN, VOUT, and IOUT, and use a separate scope to probe VHPLED. Subtracting VHPLED from VOUT gives VLED. Keep in mind that scopes do not have as much resolution as a voltmeter or ammeter, so the flash efficiency computed may have some error. It is advisable to use a calibrated electronic load to do regular probe calibration of the wire used in the measurement. 2.7V TO 5.5V, 2.0A SUPPLY OR BATTERY PRESS THE STROBE BUTTON TO FLASH POWER SUPPLY SHORT EN TO H R27 C31 C21 U3 C30 MINI USB SHORT VIC TO 3.3V C51 C8 C15 C16 5V EN INT J8 SCL SDA J4 Tx R66 R25 REV 0.4.1 R6 R5 R4 R3 SETI R2 ANALOG DEVICES SHORT THESE JUMPERS C1 GND J1 OUT SETF L1 J6 D7 R23 GND VBAT SETT J5 GP1 GP2 D6 R20 GP1 GND GP2 J7 STR VIC D1 D2 SHARP R1 C2 J3 C3 J2 D3 D10 HPLED JP3 GND GND U4 JP11 JP10 VBAT 1.8V 3.3V H ADI USB/I2C INTERFACE 0.4 VBAT R65 VIC VBAT INT GND GND R64 C17 C14 R22 R24 C19 R51 U2 C10 C11 JP12 5V C6 SDA L C5 D8 USB_OK C7 R21 C12 C18 C9 C50 R62 R30 C13 R63 R50 JP13 JP6 R31 4-CHANNEL SCOPE D5 R19 H R26 INT EN U5 SCL STROBE EN C20 STR CURRENT PROBE L SCL/CTRL1 H CURRENT PROBE JP9 L L H SDA/CTRL0 TxMASK SHORT THIS JUMPER TO SET PART TO I2C MODE SCOPE NOTES 1.

Measuring Current Limit The purpose of the current limit is to restrict the amount of input current so the battery does not get overloaded. When the current limit is reached, both the input and LED currents stop increasing, even if the user tries to program a higher LED current setting. To measure the current limit, place a thick wire loop on Jumper J1 and use a current probe to capture the inductor current waveform on the scope. Then, use the software to increase the LED current setting, until a point when the inductor current stops increasing. The peak of the inductor current is the current limit. Figure 20 shows the inductor current ripple when the current has NOT been reached, and Figure 21 shows when the current limit has been reached.

To test this, the setup shown in Figure 22 can be used with two high power Schottky diodes and a P-channel power MOSFET. Use a function generator to generate a square wave for the gate of the MOSFET. If VBAT1 < VBAT2, when the gate of the MOSFET is low, the top diode is reverse-biased, and VBAT = VBAT2. When the gate is high, the bottom diode is reverse-biased, and VBAT = VBAT1.
