HT7937 Overview
The HT7937 is high efficiency boost converter with a constant current output to provide back light functions in handheld devices. Applications with series connected LEDs ensure constant and identical LED currents resulting in uniform brightness. A continuous LED output current is setup using the FB pin regulated voltage across an external sense resistor, RFB connected between the FB pin and ground.
