Application Information
LED Current Control
The RT9285A/B regulates the LED current by setting the
current sense resistor (R
SET
) connecting to feedback and
ground. The RT9284A/B feedback voltage (V
FB
) is 0.25V.
The LED current (I
LED
) can be set by a resistor R
SET
.

= 0.25/R

In order to have an accurate LED current, a precision
resistor is preferred (1% is recommended).
Inductor Selection
The recommended value of inductor for 4 to 5WLEDs
applications are 10μH to 22μH. For 3WLEDs, the
recommended value of inductor is 4.7μH to 22μH. Small
size and better efficiency are the major concerns for
portable device, such as RT9285A/B used for mobile
phone. The inductor should have low core loss at 1MHz
and low DCR for better efficiency.

The inductor saturation current rating should be considered
to cover the inductor peak current.
Capacitor Selection
Input and output ceramic capacitors of 1μF are recommend-
ed for RT9285A/B applications. For better voltage filtering,
ceramic capacitors with low ESR are recommended. X5R
and X7R types are suitable because of their wider voltage
and temperature ranges.
Output Voltage Control
The output voltage of R9285 can be adjusted by the divider
circuit on FB pin. Figure 6 shows a 2-level voltage control
circuit for OLED application. The output voltage can be
calculated by the following equations in Figure 6.
