LT3491 White LED Driver with Integrated Schottky in SC70 and 2mm 2mm DFN FEATURES DESCRIPTIO Drives Up to Six White LEDs from a 3V Supply The LT 3491 is a fixed frequency step-up DC/DC converter High Side Sense Allows One Wire Current Source specifically designed to drive up to six white LEDs in series Internal Schottky Diode from a Li-Ion cell. Series connection of the LEDs provides One Pin Dimming and Shutdown identical LED currents resulting in uniform brightness and 27V Open LED Protection eliminating the need for ballast resistors. The device 2.3MHz Switching Frequency features a unique high side LED current sense that enables 5% Reference Accuracy the part to function as a one wire current source one V Range: 2.5V to 12V side of the LED string can be returned to ground anywhere, IN Requires Only 1F Output Capacitor allowing a simpler one wire LED connection. Traditional TM Wide 300:1 True Color PWM Dimming Range LED drivers use a grounded resistor to sense LED current, 8-Lead SC70 Package requiring a 2-wire connection to the LED string. Low Profile 6-Lead DFN Package The 2.3MHz switching frequency allows the use of tiny (2mm 2mm 0.75mm) inductors and capacitors. A single pin performs both U shutdown and accurate LED dimming control. Few exter- APPLICATIO S nal components are needed: open-LED protection and the Cellular Phones Schottky diode are all contained inside the tiny SC70 and PDAs, Handheld Computers 2mm 2mm DFN packages. With such a high level of Digital Cameras integration, the LT3491 provides a high efficiency LED MP3 Players driver solution in the smallest of spaces.
