Charge Pump LED Driver Using CAT3649


A very simple LED driver electronic project can be designed using the CAT3649 high efficiency quad mode R fractional charge pump IC that can drive up to six LEDs. The inclusion of a 1.33x fractional charge pump mode increases the device efficiency by up to 10% over traditional 1.5x charge pumps with no added external capacitors.Low noise input ripple is achieved by operating at a constant switching frequency which allows the use of small external ceramic capacitors. The multi−fractional charge pump supports a wide range of input voltages from 2.4 V to 5.5 V.

The LED current can be adjusted in different ways. The full−scale LED current is set to 25 mA once the device is enabled. Analog dimming in 32 linear steps is achieved via a 1−wire pulse−dimming input (ADIM)
Further adjustment of the LED current can be done by applying a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal on the PWM input.The CAT3649 can be shut down by holding the ADIM or PWM input in a logic low condition for greater than 30 ms. This electronic design CAT3649 charge pump LED driver can be used in applications like : LCD Display Backlight , Cellular Phones , Digital Still Cameras and some other handheld devices .

If the input voltage is insufficient or falls to a level where the regulated currents cannot be maintained, the CAT3649 automatically switches into 1.33x mode. In 1.33x mode, the output voltage is approximately equal to 1.33 times the input supply voltage . This sequence repeats in the 1.33x and 1.5x mode until the driver enters the 2x mode.While in 2x mode, the output is approximately equal to 2 times the input supply voltage.If the CAT3649 charge pump LED driver detects a sufficient input voltage to drive all LED currents in 1x mode, it will change automatically back to 1x mode.

Using the TLP250 Isolated MOSFET Driver Explanation and Example Circuits

I’ve already shown how to drive an N-channel MOSFET (or even an IGBT) in both high-side and low-side configurations in a multitude of ways. I’ve also explained the principles of driving the MOSFETs in these configurations. The dedicated drivers I’ve shown so far are the TC427 and IR2110. Some people have requested me to write up on MOSFET drive using the very popular TLP250. And I’ll explain that here. The TLP250, like any driver, has an input stage, an output stage and a power supply connection. What’s special about the TLP250 is that the TLP250 is an optically isolated driver, meaning that the input and output are “optically isolated”. The isolation is optical – the input stage is an LED and the receiving output stage is light sensitive (think “photodetector”). Before delving any further, let’s look at the pin configuration and the truth table. Fig. 1 - TLP250 Pin Configuration Fig. 2 - TLP250 Truth Table Fig. 1 clearly shows the input LED side and the receiving photodetector as well

Audio signal processing IC for 1 5 V headphone stereo

General Description: The AN7500FHQ is a single chip IC optimum for a 1.5 V headphone stereo system including pre-amp., power amp. and Dolby B type noise reduction circuit. Current consumption in a Dolby circuit off mode has been drastically reduced and an operating supply voltage has also been lowered to 0.98 V. Much fewer external components  have been realized due to an integration of audio signal processing system into a single chip circuitry in a small outline package and space saving mounting of a set.
