RT9378
4 CHs 100mA x1/x1.5/x2 Charge Pump White LED Driver
General Description
Features
z Efficiency Up to 93% Over Li-ion Battery Discharge
z Typical 85% Average Efficiency Over Li-ion Battery
Discharge
The RT9378 is a 4 CH WLED driver with auto mode
selection of x1, x1.5 and x2 mode with low dropout voltage
in current sources. The RT9378 can power up to 4 white
LEDs with regulated constant current for uniform intensity.
Each channel (LED1 to LED4) can support up to 25mA.
The part maintains highest efficiency by utilizing x1/x1.5/
x2 fractional charge pump and low dropout current
regulators. For the brightness control, user can easily use
a PWM signal generated from GPIO to control the
brightness of WLEDs.
z Support Up to 4 White LEDs
z Support Up to 25mA/Per Channel
z Support Up to 100mA Output Current
z PWM Brightness Control
z 60mV Typical Current Source Dropout
z 1% Typical LED Current Accuracy
z 0.7% Typical LED Current Matching
