The A8430 is a noninverting boost converter that steps-up the input
voltage, to provide a programmable constant current output at up to
36 V for driving white LEDs in series. Driving LEDs in series ensures
identical currents and uniform brightness. Up to four white LEDs can
be driven at 20 mA from a single cell Li-ion or a multicell NiMH power
source. Up to seven white LEDs can be driven by increasing the supply
voltage up to 10 V.
The A8430 incorporates a power switch and feedback sense amplifier
to provide a solution with minimum external components. The output
current can be set by adjusting a single external sense resistor and can
be varied with a voltage or filtered PWM signal when dimming control
is required. The high switching frequency of 1.2 MHz allows the use of
small inductor and capacitor values.
The A8430 is provided in a 5-pin 3 mm x 3 mm MLP package (part
number suffix EK), that has a nominal height of only 0.75 mm. The
lead-free version (part number suffix EK-T) has 100% lead-free matte
tin leadframe plating.
