The LTC
®
3453 is a synchronous buck-boost DC/DC con-
verter optimized for driving up to 4 white LEDs at a
combined current of up to 500mA from a single Li-Ion
battery input. The regulator operates in either synchro-
nous buck, synchronous boost, or buck-boost mode,
depending on input voltage and LED maximum forward
voltage. Optimum efficiency is achieved using a propri-
etary architecture that determines which LED requires the
largest forward voltage drop at its programmed current,
and regulates the common output rail for lowest dropout.
Efficiency of 90% can be achieved over the entire usable
range of a Li-Ion battery (2.7V to 4.2V).
LED current is programmable to one of four levels (includ-
ing shutdown) with dual current setting resistors and dual
enable pins. In shutdown, the supply current is only 6µA.
A high constant operating frequency of 1MHz allows the
use of a small external inductor. The LTC3453 is offered
in a low profile (0.75mm) thermally enhanced 16-lead
(4mm x 4mm) QFN package.
