G5921A
Four Channel, Ultra Low-Dropout, Constant-Current
White LED Bias
Features
General Description
Ultra Low 75mV Dropout at 20mA
The G5921A is a high performance ultra low- dropout
constant current bias supply for white LEDs. It can be
used as an alternative to the simple ballast resistors in
conventional parallel white LEDs applications. Each
white LED bias current is matching to 0.6%.
0.6% High Accuracy Current Matching
20mA Full Scale Current
16 Level Linear Current Brightness Control
PWM Brightness Control
2.5V to 5.5V Supply Voltage Range
TDFN2X2-8, TDFN3X3-8 and MSOP-8 Package
For dimming control, an enable input pin is controlled
by processor GPIO output pulses for 16 level linear
current. Using a low frequency PWM waveform to this
enable input pin also controls the average LED current
which is proportional to the PWM duty.
Applications
Mobile Phones
White LED backlighting
The G5921A is suitable for single cell Li-ion battery
power device that using low forward voltage white
LEDs. The white LEDs can be powered directly from
battery without extra external components. This takes
an advantage of highest efficiency and creates no EMI
problem.
