Description
The PAM2810 provides 4 regulated current sinks,
capable of sinking up to 40mA current to
accommodate 4 white LEDs. It requires no charge
pump, has no noise and EMI, and significantly
improves the efficiency in Li bettery range.
LED brightness can be controlled by PWM
techniques. The constant current sink is set with
an external sense resistor.
Alternatively, a PWM signal applied to the EN pin
can vary the anticipated brightness of the LED.
The device is in shut down mode when the EN
input is logic low.
The PAM2810 is available in SOT23-8 and
DFN
2
mmX2mm Packages.
