LM2792
Current Regulated Switched Capacitor LED Driver with
Analog Brightness Control
General Description
The LM2792 is a CMOS charge-pump voltage doubler and
regulator that provides two regulated current sources. They
are designed to drive two white (or blue) LEDs with matched
currents (within ± 0.3%) to produce balanced light sources
for display backlights. The LM2792 accepts an input voltage
range from 3.0V to 5.8V and maintain a constant current
determined by an external set resistor.
The LM2792 delivers up to 34mA of load current to accom-
modate two high forward voltage (typically white) LEDs. The
switching frequency is 900kHz (min.) to keep the conducted
noise spectrum away from sensitive frequencies within por-
table RF devices.
The LM2792 offers full off to maximum current control
through the BRGT pin. The output current linearly tracks the
BRGT pin voltage. The LM2792 is available in active high or
low shutdown versions. The shutdown pin reduces the op-
erating current to 1µA (max.).
The LM2792 is available in a 10 pin leadless leadframe
(LLP) CSP package.
