DESCRIPTION
AIC1648 is a fixed frequency step-up DC/DC
converter designed to drive white LEDs with a
constant current to provide backlight in hand-
held devices.
Series
connection
of
LEDs
provides identical LED currents resulting in
uniform brightness. This configuration eliminates
the need of ballast resistors. The built-in open
load protection prevents the damage resulting
from an open circuit condition. Low 95mV
feedback voltage minimizes power loss in the
current setting resistor for better efficiency.
APPLICATIONS
Cellular Phones
PDAs
DSCs
Handheld Devices
White LED Display Backlighting
AIC1648 is a step-up PWM converter, which
includes an internal N-channel MOSFET switch
for high efficiency. The high switching frequency,
1.2MHz,
allows
the
use
of
tiny external
components.
AIC1648 is available in a space-saving TSOT-
23-6, and SOT-23-6 packages.
