DESCRIPTION
The CAT4137 is a DC/DC step-up converter that
delivers a regulated output current. Operation at a
constant switching frequency of 1MHz allows the
device to be used with small value external ceramic
capacitors and inductor.
The device drives a string of white LEDs connected
in series and provides the regulated current to control
the LEDs with inherent uniform brightness and
matching. An external resistor R1 sets the output
current and allows up to 30mA current to be
supported over a wide range of input supply voltages
from 2.2V to 5.5V, making the device ideal for
battery-powered applications.
LED dimming can be done by using a DC voltage, a
logic signal, or a pulse width modulation (PWM)
signal. The shutdown control pin allows the device to
be placed in power-down mode with “zero” quiescent
current.
In addition to thermal protection and overload current
limiting, the device also enters a very low power
operating mode during “Open LED” fault conditions.
The device is housed in a low profile (1mm max
height) 5-lead thin SOT23 package for space critical
applications.
