LTC3219
250mA Universal
Nine Channel LED Driver
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LTC®3219 is a highly integrated multidisplay LED
driver. The device contains a high efficiency, low noise
charge pump to provide power to nine universal LED
current sources. The LTC3219 requires only five small
ceramic capacitors to form a complete LED power supply
and current controller.

The LTC3219 charge pump optimizes efficiency based on
the voltage across the LED current sources. The device
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
IC into 1.5x mode and a subsequent dropout switches
the LTC3219 into 2x mode. The part resets to 1x mode
whenever a data register is updated via the I C port.
