The LTC
®
3202 is a low noise, constant frequency charge
pump DC/DC converter that uses fractional conversion to
increase efficiency in white LED applications. The part can
be used to produce a regulated voltage or current of up to
125mA from a 2.7V to 4.5V input. Low external parts count
(two flying capacitors and two small bypass capacitors at
V
IN
and V
OUT
) make the LTC3202 ideally suited for small,
battery-powered applications.
An internal 2-bit DAC allows LED current to be adjusted for
LED brightness control. The LTC3202 also has thermal
shutdown protection and can survive a continuous short-
circuit from V
OUT
to GND. Built-in soft-start circuitry
prevents excessive inrush current during start-up. High
switching frequency enables the use of small external
capacitors. A low current shutdown feature disconnects
the load from V
IN
and reduces quiescent current to less
than1µA.
The LTC3202 is available in the 10-pin MSOP and 3mm
×
3mm DFN packages.
