SGM3138
6-Channel Charge Pump White LED
Driver with Low Dropout Current Source
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SGM3138 is a high performance white LED driver. It
integrates current sources and automatic mode selection
charge pump. The part maintains the high efficiency by
utilizing a 1×/1.5× fractional charge pump and low
dropout current sources. The small equivalent 1× mode
open loop resistance and ultra-low dropout voltage of
current source extend the operating time of 1× mode and
optimize the efficiency of Li-ion battery in white LED
applications.
The SGM3138 supports up to 6 white LEDs and
regulates a constant current which the initial value can be
set by an internal resistor. The part implements a 4-bit
DAC for brightness control. Users can easily configure
the LED current from 1.25mA to 20mA by a serial pulse.
The dimming of white LEDs current can be achieved by
applying a pulse signal to the EN/SET pin. There are
totally 16 steps of current could be set by users. The
operating voltage range is 2.7V to 5.5V. Internal soft-start
circuitry effectively reduces the in-rush current while both
start-up and mode transition.
The SGM3138 is available in Green TQFN-3×3-16L
package and is rated over the -40℃ to +85℃ temperature
range.

NOTE:
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum
Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These
are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at
these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the
operational sections of the specifications is not implied.
Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended
periods may affect device reliability.
CAUTION
This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD if you don’t pay
attention to ESD protection. SGMICRO recommends that all
integrated circuits be handled with appropriate precautions.
Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures
can cause damage. ESD damage can range from subtle
performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision
integrated circuits may be more susceptible to damage because
very small parametric changes could cause the device not to
meet its published specifications.
SGMICRO reserves the right to make any change in circuit
design, specification or other related things if necessary without
notice at any time. Please contact SGMICRO sales office to get
the latest datasheet.
