CM4072
Low Noise Charge Pump/Linear Regulator LED Driver
Features
Product Description
The CM4072 Low-noise Charge Pump / LDO Regulator is
designed to power white backlight LEDs used in main dis-
plays or camera flash LEDs in wireless handsets. The 5V
output provides up to 100mA continuous current for input
voltages from 3.0V to 5.5V, and up to 200mA for a nar-
rower range. This is accomplished with an integrated
charge pump that boosts the input voltage before feeding
it to an internal LDO linear regulator. The CM4072 oper-
ates with excellent power supply ripple rejection while
maintaining good power efficiency. The device utilizes two
external capacitors and operates at 250kHz. Separate
analog and digital ground pins are provided for the charge
pump and the rest of the circuitry to eliminate ground
noise feed-through from the charge pump to the regulated
output.

Applications
The CM4072 provides both overcurrent and thermal over-
load protection. Two enable inputs provide flexibility in
powering down the device. To maximize power saving in
shutdown mode, both enable inputs should be at a logic
low level. For applications that require the 5V output to be
re-established with minimum delay after shutdown, the
charge pump can be left enabled while the regulator is
disabled. The CMOS LDO regulator features low quies-
cent current even at full load, making it very suitable for
power sensitive applications.
•
White backlight LEDs for main display in wireless
handsets and LCD modules
•
•
Power flash LEDs for camera phones
3.3V to 5V conversion in PCMCIA cards, PCI
Express Cards, other applications needing 5V
5V analog supply for audio codec in notebook
computers, PDAs, MP3 players, etc
•
A bypass pin is provided to further minimize noise by con-
necting an external capacitor between this pin and
ground.
The CM4072 is available in a 10-lead TDFN package,
with optional lead-free finishing, and is ideal for space crit-
ical applications.
