SM8133B
White LED Driver IC
OVERVIEW
The SM8133B is a charge pump type white LED driver. It can drive 1 to 6 backlight white LED connected in
parallel and 1 flash white LED. The output voltage circuit has a 3.0V LDO (Low Dropout Regulator), making
the device ideal for camera-equipped cellular phones. The charge pump switches between ×1 to ×1.5 boost
mode in response to LED drive current requirements to extend battery life to the maximum. The boost switch-
ing occurs in response to the drive current of all the connected LED and thus supports variations in LED for-
ward-bias voltage drop (VF). Each LED drive current is controlled by a 7-channel LED drive current control
circuit. The 6 backlight channels can be subdivided into 2 groups, with each group having independent dim-
ming and lighting control. The backlight grouping, backlight LED drive current and ON/OFF control, flash
LED drive current and ON/OFF control, and LDO output ON/OFF control are all set by 3-wire serial interface
data input. Also, the RESETB pin can be connected to the microcontroller supply for a system-wide shutdown
function.
