DESCRIPTION
■
■
The STLD20D is a constant switching frequency
boost regulator with specific features to supply up
to 4 white LEDs in series. A stable LED current
regulation, from 2.8V to 4.2V, is achieved by sens-
ing the LED current through a low ohmic shunt re-
sistor RLED (see figure 1). The device also
includes a supply rejection circuit that prevent any
kind of flickering effect on the display during dy-
namic supply voltage variation. A LED disconnect
switch cut the LED branch to reduce the current
consumption in shutdown mode. The maximum
peak inductor current can be programmed. The
STLD20D includes often numerous features and in-
novative design circuit that allows getting an efficien-
cy above 80% across the total supply voltage range.
