Texas Instruments LM3508
The LM3508 is a synchronous boost converter (no external Schottky diode required) that provides a constant current output. It is designed to drive up to 4 series white LEDs at 30mA from a single-cell Li-Ion battery. The LED current can be adjusted by applying a PWM signal of up to 100kHz to the DIM pin.| Part No. | LM3508 |

DESCRIPTION
A single low power external resistor is used to set the maximum LED current. Internal soft-start circuitry is designed to eliminate high in-rush current at start-up. For maximum safety, the device features an advanced short-circuit protection when the output is shorted to ground. Additionally, over-voltage protection and an 850kHz switching frequency allow for the use of small, low-cost output capacitors with lower voltage ratings. During shutdown, the output is disconnected from the input preventing a leakage current path through the LEDs to ground.
