LED Driver, 6-Channel

The CAT3637 is a high efficiency fractional charge pump that can drive up to six LEDs programmable by a 1-wire digital interface. The inclusion of a 1.33x fractional charge pump mode increases device efficiency by up to 10% over traditional 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 2.5 V to 5.5 V.

The EN/SET logic input functions as a chip enable and a digital programming interface for setting the current in the LED channels. The 1-wire pulse-programming interface supports 15 linear steps from zero current to 30mA full-brightness in 2mA steps.
