descriptionThe LTC3212 is a low noise charge pump RGB LED driver capable of driving three LEDs up to 25mA each from a 2.7V to 5.5V input.The LTC3212 is a low noise charge pump RGB LED driver capable of driving three LEDs from 2.7V to 5.5V inputs to 25mA each. Low external part count (one flying capacitor, two bypass capacitors and one to three programming resistors) makes the LTC3212 ideally suited for small, battery-powered applications.The low external component count (one jump capacitor, two bypass capacitors, and one to three years of programming resistance) makes the LTC3212 ideal for small, battery-powered applications.
Built-in soft-start circuitry prevents excessive inrush current during start-up and mode switching.Built-in soft-start circuitry prevents excessive inrush current during start-up and mode switching. High switching frequency enables the use of small external capacitors.The high switching frequency allows the use of small external capacitors. The charge pump shuts down to a high impedance mode to prevent LED leakage while the LTC3212 is off.The charge pump is turned off to prevent leakage of the LEDs, while the LTC3212 is off in a high impedance mode.
Each LED may be individually turned on or off via a single pin interface.Each LED can be turned on or off individually via a single-pin interface. The current through the LEDs may be individually programmed with resistors or may share a single programming resistor.The current through the LED can be individually programmed resistors or may share a single programming resistor. White mode adjusts the red, green and blue LED current ratios for a white light when all three LEDs are programmed to be on.When the monochrome mode adjustment is programmed, all three indicators are the current ratio of red, green, and blue LED white light.
LED currents are regulated using internal low dropout current sources.LED current regulation using an internal low-dropout current source. Automatic mode switching optimizes effi ciency by monitoring the LED current drivers and switches mode only when dropout is detected.Automatic mode switching optimizes efficiency by monitoring LED current drivers and switching modes only when detected dropouts.
