FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LM3697 is a high-efficiency three string power
source for backlight or keypad LEDs in smart-phone
handsets. The high-voltage inductive boost converter
provides the power for three series LED strings for
display backlight and keypad functions (HVLED1,
HVLED2 and HVLED3).
•
Drives Three Parallel High-Voltage LED Strings
for Display and Keypad Lighting
•
High-Voltage Strings Capable of up to 40V
Output Voltage and up to 90% Efficiency
•
•
•
Up to 30 mA per Current Sink
11-Bit Configurable Dimming Resolution
An additional feature is a Pulse Width Modulation
(PWM) control input for content adjustable backlight
control, which can be used to control any high-
voltage current sink.
The LM3697 is fully configurable via an I2C-
compatible interface. The device is available in a 12-
bump (1.26 mm ± 30 µm x 1.61 mm ± 30 µm x 0.6
mm ± 75 um) DSBGA and operates over a 2.7V to
5.5V input voltage range and a −40°C to +85°C
temperature range.
