CAT3606
6-Channel Low Noise
Charge Pump White LED
Driver
Description
The CAT3606 controls up to four LEDs for the main display and
two LEDs for the sub-display in cellular phones. The device is capable
of operating in either 1x (LDO) mode or 1.5x charge pump mode. All
LED pin currents are regulated and tightly matched to achieve
uniformity of brightness across the LCD backlight. An external
resistor (R
SET
) sets the nominal output current.
The device can deliver as much as 20 mA per channel during low
voltage operation (3 V), and 30 mA per channel during nominal
operation (3.3 V). A constant high-frequency switching scheme
(1 MHz) provides low noise and allows the use of very small value
ceramic capacitors.
A “zero” quiescent current mode can be achieved via the chip enable
pin EN. The Main and Sub LEDs each have their own dedicated
ON/OFF control pins ENM, ENS. Dimming can be achieved using
either a DC voltage to control the R
SET
pin current, or by applying a
PWM signal on the ENM and ENS pins.
The device is available in a 16−pad TQFN package with a max
height of 0.8 mm.

CAT3606
Basic Operation
At power-up, the CAT3606 starts operation in 1x mode. If
it is able to drive the programmed LED current, it continues
in 1x mode. If the battery voltage drops to a level where the
LED current cannot be met, the driver automatically
switches into 1.5x mode, to boost the output voltage high
enough to achieve the nominal LED current.
The above sequence is reinitialized each and every time
the chip is powered up or is taken out of shutdown mode (via
EN pin). The use of the Main and Sub display enable pins
(ENM or ENS) does not affect the mode of operation.
LED Current Setting
The enable lines ENM and ENS allow to turn On or Off
a group of LEDs as shown in Table 6.

The unused LED channels can also be turned off by
connecting the respective LED pins to VOUT. In which
case, the corresponding LED driver is disabled and the
typical LED sink current is only about 0.2 mA. When the
following equation is true on any channel, the driver turns
off the LED channel:

Note:
The CAT3606 is designed to drive LEDs with forward
voltage greater than 1 V and is not compatible with resistive
loads.
