LT3491EDC#TRPBF

LT®3491 is a fixed frequency step-up DC/DC converter specifically designed to drive up to six white LEDs in series from a Li-Ion cell. Series connection of the LEDs provides identical LED currents resulting in uniform brightness and eliminating the need for ballast resistors. The device features a unique high side LED current sense that enables the part to function as a one wire current source, one side of the LED string can be returned to ground anywhere, allowing a simpler one wire LED connection. Traditional LED driver use a grounded resistor to sense LED current, requiring a 2-wire connection to the LED string. The 2.3MHz switching frequency allows the use of tiny inductors and capacitors. A single pin performs both shutdown and accurate LED dimming control. Typical applications are cellular phones, PDAs, handheld computers, digital cameras, MP3 players, GPS receivers.
