WHITE LED STEP-UP CONVERTER
Description
Pin Assignments
The AP5725 is a step-up DC/DC converter specifically
designed to drive white LEDs with a constant current. The
device can drive 2 ~ 6 LEDs in series from a Li-Ion cell.
Series connection of the LEDs provides identical LED
currents resulting in uniform brightness and eliminates the
need for ballast resistors. For driving higher number of LEDs,
AP5725 also supports a single feedback of parallel
connected multiple strings of equal number of LEDs.
The AP5725 switches at 1.2MHz that allows the use of tiny
external components. A low 0.25V feedback voltage
minimizes power loss in the current setting resistor for better
efficiency.
