DESCRIPTION
Internal Output Over-Voltage Protection (OVP)
Circuitry, with no External Zener Diode
Required
The LM3500 is a fixed-frequency step-up DC/DC
converter that is ideal for driving white LEDs for
display backlighting and other lighting functions. With
fully intergrated synchronous switching (no external
schottky diode required) and a low feedback voltage
(500mV), power efficiency of the LM3500 circuit has
been optimized for lighting applications in wireless
phones and other portable products (single cell Li-Ion
or 3-cell NiMH battery supplies). The LM3500
operates with a fixed 1MHz switching frequency.
When used with ceramic input and output capacitors,
the LM3500 provides a small, low-noise, low-cost
solution.
