Linear Technology Marketing Manager Interpretation of the three key charge pump

The White LED Driver market is highly competitive, with chip suppliers pushing for advanced pump solutions to secure their place in the industry. These charge pumps are designed to deliver higher backlight power, meeting the growing demand for larger and more complex color displays in portable and wireless devices. Manufacturers are also focusing on improving brightness matching across LED chips used in backlight panels. However, OEMs are primarily concerned with optimizing the efficiency of switched-capacitor (charge-pump) power supplies, as well as enhancing performance through boost converters. Charge pumps are typically used to drive parallel-connected LEDs, while boost converters are preferred for series or series-parallel configurations. Charge pump devices are favored for their compact size, making them a top choice for large OEMs. Their popularity extends beyond just versatility in applications; another indirect reason is the perception that inductor-based power supplies can cause significant EMI issues. However, recent advancements in charge pump topologies have made them more common, with most differences between chips being subtle design improvements tailored for specific use cases, offering users a competitive edge. Tony Armstrong, Product Sales Manager at Linear Technology's Power Division, stated, "Today’s devices must have both primary and secondary displays, with at least one RGB display for backlighting." He highlighted the increasing complexity in product design. The company recently launched the LTC3206, a charge pump designed to meet these evolving needs. Armstrong emphasized that current accuracy—how closely the actual LED current matches the expected value—is critical. While customers are generally satisfied with 10% current accuracy, they often express dissatisfaction with the current matching accuracy, which refers to the maximum difference between any two LED current sources for a given average current. A difference of more than 5% is considered unacceptable. Additionally, he pointed out that an often-overlooked factor is overall system efficiency, particularly how much battery life is consumed when the charge pump operates in 1.5x or 2x mode as voltage drops. This aspect plays a crucial role in determining the practicality and effectiveness of the power solution in real-world applications.
