LTC3205EUF#PBF

LED Driver IC Overview

The LTC3205EUF#PBF is a high-integration multi-display LED controller from Analog Devices Inc., housed in a 24-pin QFN package. It integrates an efficient, low-noise fractional boost/buck charge pump to power main and sub-white LED displays alongside an RGB color LED display. The device requires only four small ceramic capacitors and two resistors for operation. Input voltage ranges from 2.8 V to 4.5 V, with a maximum continuous LED current of 250 mA per channel. It features nine outputs and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

LED Driver IC Feature Summary

• Integrates a fractional boost/buck charge pump that optimizes efficiency by automatically switching between buck and boost modes based on input voltage and LED forward voltage conditions.
• Provides independent current and dimming control for main/sub white displays and RGB displays via a three-wire serial interface, supporting up to 4096 color combinations.
• Includes internal circuitry to protect against surge currents and excessive input noise during startup and mode transitions.
• Features low shutdown current (ICC < 1uA) and soft-start capability to limit inrush current.

LED Driver IC Applications

• Cellular phones
• Wireless PDAs
• Multi-display handheld devices

LED Driver IC Procurement Notes
