Description
The SC654 is a high e ciency charge pump LED driver
using Semtech’s proprietary charge pump technology.
Performance is optimized for use in single-cell Li-ion
battery applications.
The charge pump provides backlight current utilizing six
matched current sinks. The load and supply conditions
determine whether the charge pump operates in 1x, 1.5x,
or 2x mode. An optional fading feature that gradually
adjusts the backlight current is provided to simplify
control software.
The SC654 uses the proprietary SemPulse
TM
single wire
interface to control all functions of the device, including
backlight currents. The single wire interface minimizes
microcontroller and interface pin counts. The six LEDs
can be grouped in up to three separate banks that can be
independently controlled.
The SC654 enters sleep mode when all the LED drivers are
disabled. In this mode, the quiescent current is reduced
while the device continues to monitor the SemPulse
interface.
With a 2 x 2 (mm) package and four small capacitors, the
SC654 provides a complete LED driver solution with a
minimal PCB footprint.
