The LT
®
1937 is a step-up DC/DC converter specifically
designed to drive white LEDs with a constant current. The
device can drive two, three or four LEDs in series from a
Li-Ion cell. Series connection of the LEDs provides iden-
tical LED currents resulting in uniform brightness and
eliminating the need for ballast resistors. The LT1937
switches at 1.2MHz, allowing the use of tiny external
components. The output capacitor can be as small as
0.22µF, saving space and cost versus alternative solu-
tions. A low 95mV feedback voltage minimizes power loss
in the current setting resistor for better efficiency.
The LT1937 is available in low profile SC70 and ThinSOT
packages.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of the device may be impaired.
Note 2: The LT1937E is guaranteed to meet specifications from 0°C to
70°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating temperature range
are assured by design, characterization and correlation with statistical
process controls.
