GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The EV0042 is an evaluation board for the
MP1519, a fully automatic driver for powering
four white LEDs, with up to 4V forward voltage,
from a single Li-Ion or three NiMH cells. The
driver performs all of the sensing and control to
run the LEDs at an optimum charge pump ratio
for efficiency without an expensive inductor.
The driver allows PWM operation to support
brightness control.
