The LM3697 has an automatic frequency select mode (bit 3 in the Boost Control register) to optimize the frequency vs load dependent losses. In Auto-Frequency mode the boost converter switching frequency is changed based on the high-voltage LED current. The threshold (Control A/B brightness code) at which the frequency switchover occurs is configurable via the Auto-Frequency Threshold register. The Auto-Frequency Threshold register contains an 8-bit code which is compared to the 8 MSB's of the brightness code. When the brightness code is greater than the Auto-Frequency Threshold value the boost converter switching frequency is 1 MHz. When the brightness code is less than or equal to the Auto-Frequency Threshold register the boost converter switching frequency is 500 kHz.
Figure 8 illustrates the LED efficiency improvement (3p5s LED configuration with a 4.7-µH inductor) when the Auto-Frequency feature is enabled. When the LED brightness is less than or equal to 0x6C, the switching frequency is 500 kHz, and it improves the LED efficiency by up to 6%. When the LED brightness is greater than 0x6C, the switching frequency is 1 MHz, and it improves LED efficiency by up to 2.2%.
Table 1 summarizes the general recommendations for Auto-Frequency Threshold setting vs Inductance values and LED string configurations. These are general recommendations — the optimum Auto-Frequency Threshold setting must be evaluated for each application.
