Features
Description
The FAN5340 is a synchronous constant-current LED driver
capable of efficiently delivering up to 500mW to a string of up
to four LEDs in series. Optimized for small form-factor
applications, the 1.2MHz fixed switching frequency allows
the use of chip inductors and capacitors.
Synchronous Current-Mode Boost Converter
Up to 500mW Output Power
Supports 2, 3, or 4 LEDs in Series
2.7V to 4.8V Input Voltage Range
1.2MHz Fixed Switching Frequency
1mA Maximum Quiescent Current
Soft-Start Capability
For safety, the device features integrated short-circuit
detection plus over-voltage and thermal shutdown
protections. In addition, input under-voltage lockout
protection is triggered if the battery voltage is low.
Brightness (dimming) control is implemented by applying a
PWM signal of 300Hz to 1kHz on the EN pin. During
shutdown, the FAN5340 disconnects the LED anodes from
the output of the boost regulator, which holds the boost
regulator’s voltage on COUT, reducing audible noise from the
PWM dimming and removing power from the LED string.
