The LTC
廬
3215 is a low noise, high current charge pump
DC/DC converter designed to power high current LEDs.
The part includes an accurate programmable current
source capable of driving loads up to 700mA from a 2.9V
to 4.4V input. Low external parts count (two flying capaci-
tors, one programming resistor and two bypass capaci-
tors) makes the LTC3215 ideally suited for small, battery-
powered applications.
Built-in soft-start circuitry prevents excessive inrush cur-
rent during start-up. High switching frequency enables the
use of small external capacitors. LED current is pro-
grammed with an external resistor. The LED is discon-
nected from V
IN
during shutdown.
An ultralow dropout current source maintains accurate
LED current at very low I
LED
voltages. Automatic mode
switching optimizes efficiency by monitoring the voltage
across the LED current source and switching modes only
when I
LED
dropout is detected. The LTC3215 is available in
a low profile 3mm
