LTC3219
250mA Universal
Nine Channel LED Driver
FEATURES
■
■
DESCRIPTION
The LTC
®
3219 is a highly integrated multidisplay LED
driver. The device contains a high efficiency, low noise
charge pump to provide power to nine universal LED
current sources. The LTC3219 requires only five small
ceramic capacitors to form a complete LED power supply
and current controller.
The maximum display currents are set by an internal pre-
cision current reference. Independent dimming, On/Off,
blinking and gradation control for all current sources is
achieved via the I
2
C serial interface. 6-bit linear DACs are
available for adjusting brightness levels for each universal
LED current source.
The LTC3219 charge pump optimizes efficiency based on
the voltage across the LED current sources. The device
powers up in 1x mode and will automatically switch to
boost mode whenever any enabled LED current source
begins to enter dropout. The first dropout switches the
IC into 1.5x mode and a subsequent dropout switches
the LTC3219 into 2x mode. The part resets to 1x mode
whenever a data register is updated via the I
2
C port.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
Based on long-term current density limitations.
Note 3:
The LTC3219 is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the – 40°C to 85°C operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls.
Note 4:
This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction
temperature may result in device degradation or failure.
Note 5:
1.5x mode output impedance is defined as (1.5V
BAT
– V
