DESCRIPTION
The CAT3604 is a charge pump operating in either
1x (LDO) mode or 1.5x fractional mode regulating
current through each of the 4 LED pins. Operation
at a fixed high frequency of 1MHz typical allows the
use of very small value ceramic capacitors.
The CAT3604 drives white light-emitting diodes
(LEDs) connected in parallel and provides tightly
matched regulated current to achieve uniformity of
brightness in LCD backlighting applications. An
external resistor RSET controls the output current
level. LED currents of up to 30mA are supported
over a range of input supply voltages from 3V to
5.5V, making the device ideal for battery-powered
applications.
LED dimming can be accomplished by several
methods including using a DC voltage to set the
RSET pin current, applying a PWM signal on the
Control signals, or adding a switched resistor in
parallel with RSET. The Enable input pin allows the
device to be placed in power-down mode with
"zero” quiescent current.
The CAT3604 features short circuit and overcurrent
limiting protection. The device is available in a 16-
lead thin QFN package with a max height of 0.8mm.
