WHITE LED STEP-UP CONVERTER
General Description
The AP3031 is an inductor-based DC/DC boost con-
verter designed to drive LED arrays. 1.4A switching
current allows AP3031 to be used in different 7' to 10'
LCD panel backlights (3*13 LED arrays typically).
A constant frequency 1MHz PWM control scheme is
employed in this IC, which means tiny external com-
ponents can be used. Specifically, 1mm tall 4.7
μ
H
inductor and 0.47
μ
F output capacitor for the typical
application is sufficient.
The over output voltage protection is equipped in
AP3031, which protects the IC under open load condi-
tion. The AP3031 includes UVLO, soft-start, current
limit and OTSD to protect the circuit.
The AP3031 is available in standard SOT-23-6, TSOT-
23-6 and SOIC-8 packages.

Function
Switch Pin. Connect external inductor and Schottky
Ground Pin
Voltage Feedback Pin. Reference voltage is 200mV
Enable and Dimming Control Pin. Connect to a high input to enable the IC or a low input to
disable the IC.
If logic low time is more than about 0.7ms and then enable the IC, the AP3031 will soft start to
protect system departments. If logic low time is less than about 0.7ms and then enable the IC,
the AP3031 will hold on standby mode and start directly to achieve high frequency dimming
Over-voltage Protection Input Pin. Connect to the output directly. On OVP condition, the out-
put voltage will be clamped
Input Supply Pin. Must be locally bypassed
