CAT37 Overview
The CAT37 is a DC/DC step up converter that delivers a regulated output current. Operation at a constant switching frequency of 1.2 MHz allows the device to be used with very small value external inductor and ceramic capacitors. The CAT37 is targeted to drive multiple white light−emitting diodes (LEDs) connected in series and provides the necessary regulated current to control the brightness and the color purity.
