DESCRIPTION
The TK11850L is a pulse skipping step-up DC-DC converter IC designed for White LED driver applications with the following built in: a very high current switching transistor (400 mA peak), an inductor current limit detector, low voltage reference (Vref = 0.5 V), high speed oscillator, an error comparator, a rectifier diode (for small power output) and an ON/OFF control. The IC works with a very wide operating supply range (2.3 V to 10 V) and the adjustable output voltage can be set as high as 20 V. The device is in the ON state when the EN pin is pulled to a high level. Using the very small TK11850L and a few external components, battery powered systems with LCD displays such as digital cameras and cellular phones can be effectively backlit with white LEDs. The white LEDs are connected in series and driven at a constant current resulting in uniform brightness
and high efficiency.
