KIT ATION EVALU E L B A IL AVA
High-Efficiency Step-Up Current Regulator for LEDs
Features
o Over 90% Efficiency o Lossless, Adjustable LED Brightness o Space-Saving 10-Pin µMAX Package o Simpler, Lower Cost, More Reliable Compared to CCFL or EL Backlights o Up to 5W Output Power
General Description
The MAX1698 is the most efficient driver for white or color LEDs. The device is ideal for LED backlit displays in PDAs and digital cameras, and can also be used for larger displays like those in laptop computers. Its numerous benefits include greater simplicity, lower cost, higher efficiency, longer bulb life, and greater reliability when compared to fluorescent (CCFL) and electroluminescent (EL) lamps.
