High-Efficiency Step-Up
Current Regulator for LEDs
General Description
The MAX1698 and MAX1698A are efficient drivers for
white or color LEDs. They are ideal for large LED backlit
displays in PDAs and laptop computers. Numerous
benefits include greater simplicity, lower cost, higher
efficiency, longer bulb life, and greater reliability when
compared to fluorescent (CCFL) and electrolumines-
cent (EL) lamps.
The MAX1698/MAX1698A are switch-mode boost con-
trollers in which LED current, rather than output voltage,
is regulated The devices drive series-connected LEDs
with a controlled current that is measured with a typical-
ly 15Ω sense resistor, not an expensive fractional-ohm
value. LED current control and dimming are accom-
plished with an adjust input (ADJ). For larger light out-
put, multiple LED banks can be connected in parallel
with up to 5W total output power.
The MAX1698A has a higher, and more accurately
specified, CS current limit than the MAX1698 for higher-
power applications of 5W or more. Both devices are
supplied in a space-saving 10-pin µMAX package that
occupies half the space of an 8-pin SO. An evaluation
kit (MAX1698EVKIT) is available to speed designs.

NAME

FUNCTION
IC Supply Voltage Input. Power for internal circuitry. Input range is 2.7V to 5.5V.
Active-Low Shutdown Input. In shutdown, the MOSFET turns off, but a current path still exists between the
input and output. The minimum forward voltage of the LED array must exceed the maximum V
BATT
to ensure
that the LEDs are off in shutdown.
1.25V Reference Output. Capable of sourcing 150µA for external loads. This pin is internally compensated.
Do not connect any bypass capacitors at REF.
Adjust Input. Allows dynamic adjustment of the output current. FB regulates to 300mV when ADJ = REF.
Ground
Feedback Input. Connect to the external LED current-sense feedback resistor.
