PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The CAT3626 is a high efficiency 1x/1.5x fractional
charge pump with programmable dimming current in
six LED channels. To ensure uniform brightness in
LCD backlight applications, each LED channel delivers
an accurate regulated current.
Low noise and input ripple is achieved by operating at
a constant switching frequency of 1MHz which allows
the use of small external ceramic capacitors. The
1x/1.5x fractional charge pump supports a wide range
of input voltages from 3V to 5.5V with efficiency up to
91%, and is ideal for Li-Ion battery powered devices.
The LED channels are configured into three indepen-
dent pairs, each containing 2 matched channels. Each
pair can be separately programmed from zero to 32mA,
2
in 0.5mA resolution steps, using the I C serial interface.
Any individual channel can be disabled while others
remain active. When the enable input (EN) is low, the
device is in shutdown mode drawing zero current.
The device is available in a 16-pad
TQFN
package
with a max height of 0.8mm.
