General Description
The TS1518 is a step-up DC-DC converter; operates as current source to drive up to 6 white LEDs(V_IN at 3.0V) or 8
LEDs(V_IN at 3.5V) or 9 LEDs(V_IN at 3.5V) in series. Series connecting of the LEDs provides identical LED currents
resulting in uniform brightness and eliminating the need for ballast resistors. The light intensity of these LEDs is
proportional to the current passing through them. The TS1518 switches at a fixed frequency of ~930KHz, allowing the
use of tiny, low profile inductors and capacitors to minimize footprint and cost in space consideration applications for
cellular phone backlighting or other hand held equipment. The TS1518 can drive up to 9 white LEDs from a single Li-
Ion battery. The wide input voltage range from 2.7V to 7V is ideal for portable with higher conversion efficiency. To
control LED brightness, the LED current can be pulsed by applying a PWM (pulse width modulated) signal with a
frequency range of 100Hz to 1KHz to the CTRL pin.
TS1518 has integrated Latched Over Voltage Protection that prevents damage to the device in case of a high
impedance output due to faulty LED or open circuit caused by abnormal conditions.
