DESCRI PTI O N

The LX1744 is a compact high

efficiency step-up boost regulator for

driving white or color LEDs in LCD

lighting applications while supplying the

necessary LCD bias voltage with an

additional integrated boost converter.

Designed for maximum efficiency and

featuring

a

psuedo-hysteretic

PFM

topology (that decreases output voltage

ripple), the LX1744 minimizes system cost

and condenses layout area making it ideal

for PDA, smart-phone, and digital camera

applications.

While the LCD Bias generation is

implemented using an internal N-Channel

MOSFET, the LED driver utilizes an

external N-Channel MOSFET in order to

maintain maximum efficiency along with

flexible power requirements.

The LX1744’s control circuitry is

optimized for portable systems with a

shutdown current of less than 1µA. The

input voltage range of 1.6V to 6.0V allows

for a wide selection of system battery

equal to 1.6V with sustained operation as

low as 1.1V.

The maximum LED drive current is

easily programmed using one external

current sense resistor in series with the

LEDs. In this configuration, LED current

provides a feedback signal to the FB pin,

maintaining constant current regardless of

varying

LED

forward

voltage

Depending on the MOSFET selected, the

LX1744 is capable of achieving an LED

drive in excess of 1.0W.

The LX1744 provides simple dynamic

adjustment of the LED drive current (0% to

100% full range dimming) and the LCD

Bias output voltage (up to

±15% typ)

through separate IC interfaces.

Each

interface has an internal RC filter allowing

designers to make these adjustments via a

direct PWM input signal or an analog

reference signal.

Further, any PWM

amplitude is easily accommodated using a

single external resistor.

The LX1744 is available in the 14-Pin

TSSOP, and the miniature 16-Pin MLP

requiring minimal PCB area.
