SC4538 Datasheet (Semtech Corporation) - High Effi ciency Boost Converter

SC4538, High Effi ciency Boost Converter

The SC4538 is designed to regulate current for a series chain of white LEDs in LCD backlighting applications where small size and high efficiency are priorities.

This device integrates an 800kHz current-mode PWM boost converter and a 30mA programmable low dropout current sink regulator.
