STP4CMP
Low voltage 4-channel constant current
LED driver with charge pump
Datasheet - production data
Description
The STP4CMP is a charge-pump-based 4-
channel LED driver designed for RGB
illumination or LCD display backlighting. The
STP4CMP works off a battery with an input
voltage between 2.7 V and 5.5 V. The device
generates regulated current sinks with high
absolute and channel-to-channel accuracy to
drive up to 4 LEDs. It can support LEDs with
forward voltage as high as 3.8 V. The current
sink for each channel can be set with 4 individual
external resistors. Each channel is controlled
independently. The PWM control can be applied
directly to the 4 EN (enable) pins to provide
brightness control. When enabled, the charge
pump, which uses a small ceramic bucket
capacitor between C
1P
and C
1N
, operates to
regulate the V
OUT
with a clamping voltage at typ.
5 V. The tiny QFN20 (1.8x3.2 mm) package
allows the device to be also used for applications
with space limitations.
