HT7938 -- High Current and Performance White LED Driver
General Description
HT7938 is high efficiency boost converter
with constant current output to provide backlight in handheld
devices. Series connection of LEDs provides constant identical LED
currents resulting in uniform brightness. The continuous LED current
is set with FB pin regulated voltage across an external sense
resistor (RFB) connected from that pin to ground. The built-in open
load protection prevents the damage resulting from an open circuit
condition. Low 200mV feedback voltage minimizes power loss in the
current setting resistor for better efficiency. HT7938 switches at
rates up to 1.2MHz to allow the use
of extremely small inductor and filter capacitor.
