CAT3637
6-Channel Programmable High Efficiency
Quad-Mode™ LED Driver
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
High efficiency 1.33x charge pump
Quad-Mode charge pump: 1x, 1.33x, 1.5x, 2x
Drives 6 LEDs between 30mA and 0mA each
1-wire EZDimTM interface with 2mA step
Power efficiency up to 92%
The CAT3637 is a high efficiency Quad-Mode fractional
charge pump that can drive up to six LEDs program-
mable by a 1-wire digital interface. The inclusion of a
1.33x fractional charge pump mode increases device
efficiency by up to 10% over traditional 1.5x charge
pumps with no added external capacitors.
Low noise input ripple in all modes
“Zero” current shutdown mode
Soft start and current limiting
Low noise input ripple is achieved by operating at a
constant switching frequency which allows the use of
small external ceramic capacitors. The multi-fractional
charge pump supports a wide range of input voltages
from 2.5V to 5.5V.
Short circuit protection
Thermal shutdown protection
Tiny 3mm x 3mm, 16-pad TQFN package
The EN/SET logic input functions as a chip enable and a
digital programming interface for setting the current in the
LED channels. The 1-wire pulse-programming interface
supports 15 linear steps from zero current to 30mA full-
brightness in 2mA steps.
APPLICATIONS
LCD Display Backlight
Cellular Phones
Digital Still Cameras
Handheld Devices
The device is available in a tiny 16-pad TQFN 3 x 3mm
package with a maximum height of 0.8mm.
Catalyst Semiconductor’s Quad-Mode 1.33x, charge pump
switching architecture is patented.
