MAX8901AETA+T

MAX8901AETA+T is a step-up converter drive from two to six series-connected white LEDs (WLEDs) with constant current to provide uniform WLED intensity for LCD backlighting in cell phones, PDAs, and other handheld devices. The MAX8901 operates at a fixed 750kHz (typ) switching frequency, allowing for tiny external components, and are optimized for the highest possible efficiency over the full 1-cell Li+/Li-Poly battery range. This converter use a single input (ON) to enable the IC and to control WLED intensity. The MAX8901A requires a direct PWM input to regulate WLED intensity with the WLED current proportional to the PWM duty cycle. Typical applications include display backlight (from 2 to 6 WLEDs), cellular phones, PDAs and smartphones, MP3 and portable media players, portable navigation devices, digital cameras.
