FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
TheLTC®3217isalownoisechargepumpDC/DCconverter
designed to power four high current LEDs. The LTC3217
requires only four small ceramic capacitors and two cur-
rent set resistors to form a complete LED power supply
and current controller.

SET
Built-in soft-start circuitry prevents excessive inrush cur-
rent during start-up and mode changes. High switching
frequency enables the use of small external capacitors.
Independenthighandlowcurrentsettingsareprogrammed
by two external resistors. Shutdown mode and current
output levels are selected via two logic inputs.

The current through the LEDs is programmed via I
SET1
and I
. In addition, the brightness can be controlled
SET2
by pulse width modulation of the EN2 pin.
The charge pump optimizes efficiency based on the volt-
age across the LED current sources. The part powers up
in 1x mode and will automatically switch to boost mode
whenever any enabled LED current source begins to enter
dropout. The first dropout switches the part into 1.5x
mode and a subsequent dropout switches the part into
2x mode. The LTC3217 resets to 1x mode whenever the
part is shut down.
