The LX1993 is a high efficiency
step-up boost converter that features a
psuedo-hysteretic pulse frequency
modulation topology for driving
white or color LEDs in backlight or
guaranteed at 1.6V input.
The LX1993 is capable of switching
currents in excess of 300mA and the
output current is readily programmed
using one external current sense
resistor in series with the LEDs. This
frontlight systems.
Designed for
maximum efficiency, reduced board
size, and minimal cost, the LX1993 is
ideal for PDA and digital camera
applications. The LX1993 features an
internal N-Channel MOSFET and
control circuitry that is optimized for
portable system design applications.
The LX1993 promotes improved
performance in battery-operated
systems by operating with a quiescent
supply current 70µA (typical) and a
shutdown current of less than 1µA.
The input voltage range is from 1.6V
to 6.0V thus allowing for a broad
configuration provides a feedback
signal to the FB pin thus maintaining
constant output current regardless of
varying LED forward voltage (VF).
The LX1993 provides an additional
feature for simple dynamic adjustment
of the output current (i.e., up to 100%
of the maximum programmed current).
Designers can make this adjustment by
generating an analog reference signal
or a PWM signal applied directly to
the ADJ pin and any PWM amplitude
is readily accommodated via a single
external resistor. The LX1993 is
available in the 8-Pin MSOP and thus
requires a very small PCB area.
