EUP2538

The EUP2538 is a constant current step-up converter specifically designed to drive white LEDs. The Step-up converter topology allows series connection of the white LEDs so the LED currents are identical for uniform brightness. The EUP2538 switches at 1MHz, allowing the use of tiny external components. The input and output capacitor can be as small as 2.2F, saving space and cost versus alternative solutions. A low 0.3V feedback voltage minimizes power loss in the current setting resistor for better efficiency. The EUP2538 high-voltage output stage is perfect for driving mid-size and large panel displays containing up to ten white LEDs in series. LED dimming can be done by using a DC voltage, a logic signal, or a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal. The enable input pin allows the device to be placed in shutdown mode with "zero" quiescent current.

The EUP2538 is available in low profile TDFN-8 package.
