CAT4104
700 mA Quad Channel
Constant Current LED Driver
Description
The CAT4104 provides four matched low dropout current sinks to
drive high−brightness LED strings up to 175 mA per channel. The
LED channel current is set by an external resistor connected to the
RSET pin. The LED pins are compatible with high voltage up to 25 V
supporting applications with long strings of LEDs.
The EN/PWM logic input supports the device enable and high
frequency external Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) dimming control.
Thermal shutdown protection is incorporated in the device to
disable the LED outputs whenever the die temperature exceeds 150°C.
The device is available in the 8−pad TDFN 2 mm x 3 mm package
and the SOIC 8−Lead 150 mil wide package.

Figure 2. CAT4104 EN/PWM Timing
EN/PWM Operation
The EN/PWM pin has two primary functions. One
function enables and disables the device. The other function
turns the LED channels on and off for PWM dimming
control. The device has a very fast turn−on time (from
EN/PWM rising to LED on) and allows “instant on” when
dimming LED using a PWM signal.
Accurate linear dimming is compatible with PWM
frequencies from 100 Hz to 5 kHz for PWM duty cycle
down to 1%. PWM frequencies up to 50 kHz can be
supported for duty cycles greater than 10%.
When performing a combination of low frequencies and
small duty cycles, the device may enter shutdown mode.
This has no effect on the dimming accuracy, because the
turn−on time T
PS
is very short, in the range of 1
ms.
To ensure that PWM pulses are recognized, pulse width
low time T
LO
should be longer than 1
ms.
The CAT4104
enters a “zero current” shutdown mode after a 4 ms delay
(typical) when EN/PWM is held low.
