DESCRIPTION
The UTC L5101 is a constant current step-up PWM DC/DC converter optimized to drive white LEDs. It can drive LEDs in series with a Li-Ion cell.
The switching frequency of the internal NPN is up to 1.2MHz. High frequency allows the use of tiny external components and the current setting resistor has minimum power dissipation for the low feedback voltage of 95mV. The built-in OVP prevents the UTC L5101 damage from the open load condition.
Series connection of LEDs provides identical LED currents which contributes to uniform brightness, saving the use of ballast resistors.
The UTC L5101 is universally used in cellular phones, PDAs , DSCs, handheld devices, and white LED display backlighting.
