FEATURES
DESCRIPTIO
The LTC®3216 is a low noise, high current charge pump
DC/DC converter designed to power high current LEDs.
The part includes an accurate programmable current
source capable of driving loads up to 1A from a 2.9V to
4.4V input. Low external parts count (two flying capaci-
tors, two programming resistors and two bypass capaci-

Built-in soft-start circuitry prevents excessive inrush cur-
rentduringstart-up.Highswitchingfrequencyenables the
use of small external capacitors. Independent high and
low current settings are programmed by two external
resistors. Shutdown mode and current output levels are
selected via two logic inputs.
Tiny Application Circuit (All Components <1mm
Profile)
An ultralow dropout current source maintains accurate
LED current at very low ILED voltages. Automatic mode
switching optimizes efficiency by monitoring the voltage
across the LED current source and switching modes only
whenILED dropoutis detected. TheLTC3216is availablein
a small 3mm × 4mm 12-Lead DFN package.
