AL3159 HIGH EFFICIENCY 1x/2x CHARGE PUMP FOR WHITE LED APPLICATIONS Description Pin Assignments The AL3159 is a low noise, constant frequency charge pump DC/DC converter that uses a Dual mode load switch (1x), and (2x) conversion for white LED applications. The AL3159 is capable of driving nine LED channels at 20mA from a 2.7V to 5.5V input. The current sinks may be operated using three simple logic control inputs individually or in parallel for driving higher-current LEDs. Low external part counts (one 1F flying capacitor and two 2.2F capacitors at V and V ) make this part ideally suited for IN OUT small, battery-powered applications. AL3159 digital inputs are used to enable or disable the LED channels with a fixed default current settings at 20mA or other factory programming options available. Each output of the AL3159 is equipped with built-in protection for V short circuit and auto-disable for LED short conditions. Built-in OUT soft-start circuitry prevents excessive inrush current during start-up and mode switching. A low-current shutdown feature disconnects the load from V to reduce quiescent current less than 1A. IN The AL3159 is available in a lead-free, space-saving, thermally enhanced 20-pin 3 x 3mm QFN package.
