General Description

Preliminary Datasheet
AP3030
The AP3030 is an inductor-based DC/DC converter
designed to drive up to eight white LEDs in series or 2
rows of LEDs with 5 for each in parallel for backlight.
Only one feedback resistor is needed to control the
LED current and obtain required brightness.
A constant frequency 1.2MHz PWM control scheme is
employed in this IC, which means tiny external com-
ponents can be used. Specifically, 1mm tall inductor
and 0.22µF output capacitor for a typical application
are sufficient. Additionally, the schottky diode in boost
circuit is integrated on this chip. AP3030 also provides
a disable pin to ease its use for different systems.
· Inherently Uniform LED Current
· High Efficiency up to 84%
· No Need for External Schottky Diode
· Output Over-Voltage Protection (OVP)
· Drives up to 8 LEDs in Series or 2 Rows of LEDs
with 5 for Each in Parallel
· Fixed 1.2MHz Switching Frequency
· Uses Tiny 1mm Tall Inductor
· Requires Only 0.22µF Output Capacitor
Applications
The output over-voltage protection is implemented in
AP3030. When any LED is broken or in other abnor-
·

mal conditions, the output voltage will be clamped to ^{· Digital Cameras}
30V.
· LCD modules
· GPS Receivers
The AP3030 is available in standard SOT-23-6 and _{· PDAs, Handheld Computers}
TSOT-23-6 packages.
