General Description
The AP3615 is a step-up DC-DC converter based on
1x/1.5x charge pump and low dropout current sink,
which helps it maintain the highest efficiency. The
AP3615 is specially designed to drive up to 5
WLEDs in backlight display.
The AP3615 provides up to 20mA current for each
WLED. There are totally 16 steps of current control,
which is achieved through a digital pulse dimming
function on EN pin. Additionally, 1MHz high
switching frequency enables the use of small external
capacitors. Internal soft-start circuitry prevents
excessive inrush current during start-up and mode
transition.
The supply voltage of AP3615 ranges from 2.8V to
5.5V which make it ideally suit for applications
powered by Li-ion battery.
The AP3615 is available in the tiny package of
QFN-3×3-16.
