CAT3626
6-Channel LED Driver with I2C™ Interface
FEATURES
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Drives 6 LED channels
The CAT3626 is a high efficiency 1x/1.5x fractional
charge pump with programmable dimming current in
six LED channels. To ensure uniform brightness in
LCD backlight applications, each LED channel delivers
an accurate regulated current.
Independent current on 3 pairs of LEDs
I2C serial interface programming
Adjustable current to 32mA in 0.5mA step
Power efficiency up to 91%
Fractional pump 1x/1.5x
Low noise input ripple
Fixed High Frequency Operation 1MHz
“Zero” Current Shutdown Mode
Soft start and current limiting
Short circuit protection
Low noise and input ripple is achieved by operating at
a constant switching frequency of 1MHz which allows
the use of small external ceramic capacitors. The
1x/1.5x fractional charge pump supports a wide range
of input voltages from 3V to 5.5V with efficiency up to
91%, and is ideal for Li-Ion battery powered devices.
Thermal shutdown protection
The LED channels are configured into three indepen-
dent pairs, each containing 2 matched channels. Each
pair can be separately programmed from zero to 32mA,
in 0.5mA resolution steps, using the I2C serial interface.
Any individual channel can be disabled while others
remain active. When the enable input (EN) is low, the
device is in shutdown mode drawing zero current.
APPLICATIONS
RGB LEDs
LCD and keypad Backlighting
Cellular Phones, PDAs
Digital Cameras
The device is available in a 16-pad TQFN package
with a max height of 0.8mm.
