White LED Driver Constant Current Step-up Converter
The A8430 is a noninverting boost converter that steps-up the input voltage, to provide a programmable constant current output at up to 36 V for driving white LEDs in series. Driving LEDs in series ensures identical currents and uniform brightness. Up to four white LEDs can be driven at 20 mA from a single cell Li-ion or a multicell NiMH power source. Up to seven white LEDs can be driven by increasing the supply voltage up to 10 V. The A8430 incorporates a power switch and feedback sense amplifier to provide a solution with minimum external ponents. The output current can be set by adjusting a single external...
