Active: In Production.

Description

The MAX1570 fractional charge pump drives up to five white LEDs with regulated constant current for uniform intensity. The MAX1570 maintains the highest possible efficiency over the full 1-cell lithium-ion (Li+) battery input voltage range by utilizing a 1x/1.5x fractional charge pump and very-low-dropout current regulators. The MAX1570 operates with 1MHz fixed-frequency switching, allowing for tiny external components. The regulation scheme is optimized to ensure low EMI and low input ripple.

An external resistor sets the full-scale LED current, while two digital inputs control on/off and select between three levels of brightness. A pulse-width modulation (PWM) signal can also be used to modulate LED brightness.

The MAX1570 is available in 16-pin 4mm x 4mm Thin QFN packaging (0.8mm max height).
