Component Selection
The guideline for selecting divider resistors is as
follows. For high input voltage, the SP6683 will
work in X1 mode. When the input voltage drops
to VTH threshold voltage, it will switch to X1.5
mode automatically. The VTH threshold voltage
for mode change can be calculated by:
VTH = (VF + 0.315 + m • ILED • ROUT)
Where VF and m are the forward voltage and
number of the white LEDs, Rout is the output
resistance of the SP6683.
The equation for the voltage divider R1 and R2
with VMODE = 1.25V is:
VTH = 1.25V • (1+R1/R2)
Which can be expressed as R1:
R1 = [(VTH/1.25) - 1] R2
For the typical SP6683 application, using VF =
3.6V, m = 8, ILED = 15mA, ROUT = 6Ω, VTH will
be 4.63V, Select R2 = 100kΩ, then R1 = 270kΩ
APPLICATION INFORMATION
Ceramic capacitors are recommended for their
inherently low ESR, which will help produce
low peak-to-peak output ripple, and reduce high
frequency spikes.
The fly capacitor controls the strength of the
charge pump. Selection of the fly capacitor is a
tradeoff between the output voltage ripple and
the output current capability. Decreasing the fly
capacitor will reduce the output voltage ripple
because less charge will be delivered to the
output capacitor. However, a smaller fly capaci-
tor leads to larger output resistance, thus de-
creasing the output current capability and the
efficiency of the circuit. Increasing the value of
the input and output capacitors could further
reduce the input and output ripple. For back-
lighting applications up to 80mA output current,
CIN = COUT = 1µF is typically used. For appli-
cations with more than 80mA output current, for
example in Flash applications where Iout can be
as much as 200mA, CIN = COUT = 2.2µF is
recommended. For peak performance, place all
capacitors as close to the SP6683 as possible.

ESR capacitors.
