DESCRIPTION
The BL244 is a low noise charge pump LED driver with regulated
constant current sink for uniform intensity. It is designed to drive 2 sets of four LEDs (LED1-4, LED5-8) at up to 25mA per
LED for backlighting application. The
BL244 requires only four small ceramic capacitors and two current set resistors
for a complete LED power supply or add one additional capacitor for LDO
application.
Built-in soft-start circuitry prevents excessive
inrush current during start-ups. The 1MHz fixed-frequency switching allows for
tiny external components, and the regulation scheme is optimized to ensure low
EMI and low input ripple. Two independent
full-scale current settings are set by two external resistors on RB1 and RB2
pins.
Shutdown mode and current output levels are selected
via two logic inputs ENB1 and ENB2 pins. ENB1 and ENB2 are toggled to adjust
the LED currents via internal counters and DACs. The part is shut down when
both ENB1 and ENB2 are Low for >10µs.
The charge pump optimizes efficiency based on the
voltage across the LED current sources. The BL244 is available in a 3mm × 4mm
20-lead QFN package.
