DESCRIPTION
The CAT3648 is a high efficiency quad-mode
fractional charge pump that can drive up to four LEDs
programmable by a one wire digital interface. The
inclusion of a 1.33x fractional charge pump mode
increases device efficiency by up to 10% over tradi–
tional 1.5x charge pumps with no added external
capacitors.
Low noise input ripple is achieved by operating at a
constant switching frequency which allows the use of
small external ceramic capacitors. The multi-fractional
charge pump supports a wide range of input voltages
from 2.5V to 5.5V.
The EN/DIM logic input functions as a chip enable and
a digital dimming interface for setting the current in all
LED channels. The 1-wire pulse-dimming interface
supports 32 linear steps from full-scale down to zero
current.
The device is available in the tiny 16-pad TQFN
3mm x 3mm package with a max height of 0.8mm.
Catalyst Semiconductor’s Quad-Mode™ 1.33x,
charge pump switching architecture is patented.
