Description
The SE3506 is a step-up DC/DC converter
specifically designed to drive white LEDs with a
constant current. The device can drive two, three,
four, or five LEDs in series from a Li-Ion cell.
Series connection of the LEDs provides identical
LED current resulting in uniform brightness and
eliminating the need for ballast resistors. The
SE3506 switches at 1MHz, allowing the use of any
tiny external components. The output capacitor
can be as small as 1μF, saving space and cost
versus alternative solutions. A low 95mV feedback
voltage minimizes power loss in the current setting
resistor for better efficiency.
SE3506 is available in low profile SOT-23-5L
package.
