DESCRIPTION
The LP55231 is a 9-channel LED driver designed to
produce lighting effects for mobile devices. A high-
efficiency charge pump enables LED driving over full
Li-Ion battery voltage range. The device is equipped
with an internal program memory, which allows
operation without processor control.
The LP55231 maintains excellent efficiency over a
wide operating range by autonomously selecting the
best charge pump gain based on LED forward
voltage requirements. The device is able to
automatically enter power-save mode when LED
outputs are not active, thus lowering idle current
consumption down to 10 µA (typ).
