High-Efficiency, 26V Step-Up Converter for White LED Main and Subdisplay Backlighting
General Description
The MAX1582 drives up to six white LEDs in series with a constant current to provide display backlighting for two (main and sub-) displays in cell phones and other hand-held devices. This configuration eliminates the need for ballast resistors and expensive factory calibration. The proprietary dual-output, step-up pulse-width modulation (PWM) converter includes a 30V, low RDSON N-channel MOSFET switch for high efficiency and maximum battery life.
