Holtek Semiconductor HT7938A
The HT7938A is high efficiency boost converter with constant current output for backlight applications in handheld devices. The continuous LED current is set using the device FB pin regulated voltage across an external sense resistor, RFB, connected between this pin and ground. The integrated open load protection feature prevents device damage resulting from open circuit load conditions.APPLICATIONS
● Cellular phones● PDAs
● DSCs
● Handheld devices
● White LED display backlighting
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Using a series connection of LEDs provides constant identical LED currents resulting in uniform brightness. A low 300mV feedback voltage minimises power losses in the current setting resistor which provides enhanced efficiency. The HT7938A has a dimming frequency of up to 200kHz, which has excellent linear performance over this dimming frequency range. The device switches at rates of up to 1.2MHz to allow the use of extremely small inductors and filter capacitors.
