Page 1

Introduction

The SP6121 is a 500kHz PWM controller with input voltage range from 3.0V to

5.5V. This is ideal for drawing power out of a one-cell Li Ion battery which varies

from 3.4V to 4.3V. The requirement for this application is to provide a maximum

1.5A regulated current into a K2 Lumileds LUXEON® LED.

The topology used here is a “non-inverting Cuk boost/buck”. The circuit will also

use an external amplifier for converting the current sensing (ILED) into the

appropriate

Principle of Operation

The simplified form of a boost buck converter is shown below. The converter can

be separated into two cells, a boost cell made out of S1 and L1 and a buck cell

around S2 and L2. S1 and S2 are controlled out of phase. Phase 1 is S1 closed
