DESCRIPTION
The CAT3604 is a charge pump operating in either
1x (LDO) mode or 1.5x fractional mode regulating
current through each of the 4 LED pins. Operation
at a fixed high frequency of 1MHz typical allows the
use of very small value ceramic capacitors.
The CAT3604 drives white light-emitting diodes
(LEDs) connected in parallel and provides tightly
matched regulated current to achieve uniformity of
brightness in LCD backlighting applications. An
external resistor R
SET
controls the output current
level. LED currents of up to 30mA are supported
over a range of input supply voltages from 3V to
5.5V, making the device ideal for battery-powered
applications.
LED dimming can be accomplished by several
methods including using a DC voltage to set the
R
SET
pin current, applying a PWM signal on the
Control signals, or adding a switched resistor in
parallel with R
SET
. The Enable input pin allows the
device to be placed in power-down mode with
"zero” quiescent current.
The CAT3604 features short circuit and overcurrent
limiting protection. The device is available in a 16-
lead thin QFN package with a max height of 0.8mm.

BASIC OPERATION
At power-up, the CAT3604 starts operation in 1x
mode. If it is able to drive the programmed LED
current, it continues in 1x mode. If the battery
voltage drops to a level where the LED current
cannot be met, the driver automatically switches
into 1.5x mode. The 1.5x charge pump will boost
the output voltage accordingly to achieve the nomi-
nal LED current.
The operating mode is reinitialized each and every
time the chip is powered up or is taken out of
shutdown mode (via EN pin). The use of the control
pins (CTR0, CTR1, CTR2) does not reconfigure the
mode of operation.

SHORT CIRCUIT DETECT/DISABLE
The unused LED channels can also be turned off by
connecting the respective LED pins to VOUT. In
which case, the corresponding LED driver is disabled
and the typical LED sink current is only about 20µA.
When the following equation is true on any channel,
the driver turns off the LED channel:
VOUT - V
LED
≤
1V (LED channel OFF)
Note: The CAT3604 is designed to drive LEDs with
forward voltage greater than 1V and is not compatible
with resistive loads.
