WHITE LED STEP-UP CONVERTER AP3031
General Description
The AP3031 is an inductor-based DC/DC boost con-
verter designed to drive LED arrays. 1.4A switching
current allows AP3031 to be used in different 7' to 10'
LCD panel backlights (3*13 LED arrays typically).
A constant frequency 1MHz PWM control scheme is
employed in this IC, which means tiny external com-
ponents can be used. Specifically, 1mm tall 4.7
μ
H
inductor and 0.47
μ
F output capacitor for the typical
application is sufficient.
The over output voltage protection is equipped in
AP3031, which protects the IC under open load condi-
tion. The AP3031 includes UVLO, soft-start, current
limit and OTSD to protect the circuit.
The AP3031 is available in standard SOT-23-6, TSOT-
23-6 and SOIC-8 packages.
