DESCRIPTION
The LM3561 is a 2-MHz fixed-frequency currentmode synchronous boost converter. The device is designed to operate as a single 600-mA constant current driver for high-current white LEDs. The highside current source allows for grounded cathode LED operation while the 250-mV regulated headroom voltage ensures that the LED current is well regulated and efficiency remains high.
