LT3498
20mA LED Driver and
OLED Driver with Integrated
Schottky in 3mm x 2mm DFN
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The LT®3498 is a dual output boost converter featuring a
2.3MHzPWMLEDDriverandPFMOLEDDriver.Itincludes
an internal power switch and Schottky diode for each
driver. Both converters can be independently shut down
and modulated. This highly integrated power solution is
ideal for dual display electronic devices.
■
Dual Output Boost for Dual Display Devices
■
Drives Up to Six White LEDs and OLED/LCD Bias
■
Internal Power Switches and Schottky Diodes
■
Independent Dimming and Shutdown
■
200mV High Side Sense on LED Driver Allows
“One-Wire Current Source”
■
Wide Input Voltage Range: 2.5V to 12V
The2.3MHzstep-upconverterisdesignedtodriveuptosix
white LEDs in series from a Li-Ion cell. The device features
a unique high side LED current sense that enables the part
tofunctionasa“one-wire”currentsource—onesideofthe
LEDstringcanbereturnedtogroundanywhere.Traditional
LED drivers use a grounded resistor to sense LED current,
requiring a 2-wire connection to the LED string.
■
Wide Output Voltage Range: Up to 32V
■
2.3MHz PWM Frequency for LED Driver
■
PFM for OLED Driver is Non-Audible Over Entire
Load Range
■
Open LED Protection (27V Maximum on CAP1 Pin)
■
OLED Output Disconnect
■
Available in 12-Pin DFN Package
■
The PFM OLED driver is a low noise boost converter that
featuresanovelcontroltechnique.*Theconvertercontrols
power delivery by varying both the peak inductor current
and switch off time. This technique results in low output
voltage ripple, as well as, high efficiency over a wide load
range. The off time of the switch is not allowed to exceed a
fixed level, guaranteeing a switching frequency that stays
above the audio band.
