General Description
The AME5142/5142A/5142B is a Boost DC/DC con-
verter specifically designed to drive white LEDs with a
constant current. The device can drive 1 to 6 LEDs in
series or multiple strings from a Li-lon cell. Series con-
nection of the LEDs provides identical LED currents re-
sulting in uniform brightness and eliminating the need for
ballast resistors. The AME5142/5142A/5142B switches
at 1.2MHz, allowing the use of tiny external components.
The input and output capacitor can be as small as 1µF(or
4.7µF), saving space and cost versus alternative solu-
tions. A low feedback voltage minimizes power loss in
the current setting resistor for better efficiency. The
AME5142/5142A/5142B is available in SOT-26/TSOT-26
& SOT-25/TSOT-25 packages.
The only difference between AME5142, AME5142A and
AME5142B is feedback trip point. The AME5142 is 0.15V
and AME5142A/5142B is 0.104V.

Pin Description
Power Switch input.
This is the drain of the internal NMOS power switch. Minimize the metal
trace area connected to this pin to minimize EMI.
Ground.
Tie directly to ground plane.
Output voltage feedback input.
Connect the ground of the feedback network to an AGND (Analog Ground)
plane which should be tied directly to the GND pin.
Enable control input, active high.
The enable pin is an active high control. Tie this pin above 1.5V to enable
the device. Tie this pin below 0.4V to turn off the device.
Analog and Power input.
Input Supply Pin. Bypass this pin with a capacitor as close to the device
as possible.
