BCD Semiconductor Manufacturing Limited AP3019A
The AP3019A is an inductor-based DC/DC converter designed to drive up to eight white LEDs in series for backlight. The AP3019A is available in standard SOT-23-6 and TSOT-23-6 packages.GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Only one feedback resistor is needed to control the LED current and obtain required brightness. A constant frequency 1.2MHz PWM control scheme is employed in this IC, which means tiny external components can be used. Specifically, 1mm tall inductor and 0.22µF output capacitor for a typical application is sufficient. Additionally, the Schottky diode in boost circuit is integrated on this chip. AP3019A also provides a disable pin to ease its use for different systems. The output over-voltage protection is implemented in AP3019A. When any LED is broken or in other abnormal conditions, the output voltage will be clamped.FEATURES
