CAT32
CMOS White LED Driver
Description
The CAT32 is a DC/DC step up converter that delivers a regulated
output current. Operation at a constant switching frequency of
1.2 MHz allows the device to be used with very small value external
inductor and ceramic capacitors.

The CAT32 is targeted to drive multiple white light−emitting diodes
(LEDs) connected in series and provides the necessary regulated current
to control the brightness and the color purity. An external resistor R

controls the output current level. LED currents of up to 40 mA can be
supported over a wide range of input supply voltages from 2 V to 7 V,
making the device ideal for battery−powered applications.
A high voltage output stage allows up to 4 White LEDs to be driven
in series. Series drive provides inherent current matching.
LED dimming can be done by using a DC voltage, a logic signal, or
a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal. The shutdown input pin
allows the device to be placed in power−down mode with “near zero”
quiescent current.
In addition to overcurrent limiting protection, the device also
includes detection circuitry to ensure protection against open−circuit
load fault conditions.
The device is available in a low profile (1 mm max height) 6−lead
TSOT−23 package.
