Low-Dropout LED Drivers
Data Sheet
1 General Description
The AS1101/AS1102/AS1103/AS1104 are LED drivers
designed to match current source bias for any color
LED, including white and blue. The devices can drive up
to 4 high-current LEDs, and the LED current is program-
mable using an external resistor (R
SET
).
The AS1101 LED currents are 460 x I
SET
(per LED, typ)
at an LED cathode voltage (V
SAT
) of 150mV and 650 x
I
SET
(typ) at a V
SAT
of 1V, where I
SET
is the current
through R
SET
connected to pin CTRL.
The AS1102, AS1103, and AS1104 LED currents are
230 x I
SET
(per LED, typ) at a V
SAT
of 150mV and 325 x
I
SET
(typ) at a V
SAT
of 1V.
The AS1101, AS1102, and AS1104 incorporate a chip-
enable feature via pin ON. When the devices are dis-
abled, the supply current drops to less than 1µA.

3 Applications
The AS110x devices are ideal for LED displays and key-
board backlights, as well as lighting management units
for battery powered audio devices such as MP3 and CD
players, mobile and cordless phones, PDAs, portable
DVD players, and consumer electronics.

5 Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses beyond those listed in
Table 2
may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only,
and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those listed in
Electrical Characteristics
on page 4
is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reli-
ability.
