CAT3643
3-Channel Ultra 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 up to 3 LEDs at 32mA each
1-wire EZDim™ LED current programming
Power efficiency up to 92%
The CAT3643 is a high efficiency quad-mode
fractional charge pump that can drive up to three
LEDs programmable by a one 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 2.4V to 5.5V.
Short circuit protection
Thermal shutdown protection
Tiny 12-lead XQFN, 12-lead TDFN and 16-lead
The EN/DIM logic input functions as a chip enable and
a digital dimming interface for current setting of all
LEDs. Six different current ratios are available via the
interface.
