Description
The STLD41 is a boost converter that operates
from 3.0 V to 21 V and can provide an output
voltage as high as 38 V. It can drive up to 40 white
LEDs connected in 4 strings of 10 LEDs in series.
The total output current capability is 120 mA at an
output voltage of 38 V. Regulation is performed by
the internal error amplifier which works with the
feedback voltage from the sensing resistor. The
device can be turned ON/OFF by way of the logic
