The YB1508 is a step-up DC-DC converter, acting as current source to drive up to 8 white LEDs in series. Series connecting of the LEDs provides identical LED currents resulting in uniform brightness and eliminating the need for ballast resistors.
The light intensity of these LEDs is proportional to the current passing through them. Additional features include output over voltage protection to prevent device damage due to faulty LED or open circuit caused by abnormal conditions, and one-pin shutdown and multiple methods of dimming control.The YB1508 switches at a fixed frequency of 1MHz, allowing the use of tiny external components and low input noise and ripple.
To control LED brightness, the LED current can be pulsed by applying a PWM (pulse width modulated) signal with a frequency range of 100Hz to 50KHz to the CTRL pin.The YB1508 is available in a low profile 5-lead SOT-23 package.
