L5101 Overview
The UTC L5101 is a fixed frequency step-up PWM DC/DC converter and designed for white LEDS driving with a constant current to provide backlight in handheld devices. The device switches at a high frequency 1.2MHz by an internal N-channel MOSFET switch to be capable of minimum external ponents using. The UTC L5101 can drive up to 5 LEDs in series by a Li-Ion cell.
