AP5724
WHITE LED STEP-UP CONVERTER
Description
Pin Assignments
(Top View)
The AP5724 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,

AP5724 also supports
a single feedback of parallel
connected multiple strings of equal number of LEDs.

DFN2020C-6
The AP5724 switches at 1.2MHz that allows the use of tiny
external components. A low 0.1V feedback voltage minimizes
power loss in the current setting resistor for better efficiency.
