GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ACT6357 and ACT6358 step-up DC/DC con-
verters drive white LEDs with an externally pro-
grammable constant current. These devices feature
integrated, 40V power MOSFETs that are capable
of driving up to ten white LEDs in series, providing
inherent current matching for uniform brightness.
WLED brightness adjustment is easily achieved via
a dual-function pin, which accepts either a PWM or
an analog dimming control signal.
The ACT6357 and ACT6358 feature a variety of
protection circuits, including integrated over voltage
protection (OVP), programmable soft-start, cycle-
by-cycle current limiting, and thermal shutdown pro-
tection circuitry.
The ACT6357 has 500mA current limit, while the
ACT6358 has 1A current limit. Both parts are avail-
able in a small 3mm x 3mm 8-pin TDFN33-8.
