The LT3587 provides a one-chip solution for applications requiring two positive and one negative high voltage supplies.The LT3587 input voltage range of 2.5V to 6V makes it ideal for various battery-powered systems.A single resistor programs each of the three output voltage levels and the output current of Boost3. The intelligent soft-start allows for sequential soft-start of the Boost1 output followed by the negative output with a single capacitor. Internal sequencing circuitry also disables the inverter until the Boost1 output has reached 87% of its final value.The LT3587 integrates all the power switches, soft-start, and output-disconnect circuits into a small 3mm × 3mm QFN package. This high level of integration combined with small external components makes the LT3587 ideal for space constrained applications.ApplicationsDigital Still and Video CamerasScanner and Display SystemsPDA, Cellular Phones and Handheld ComputersLED Backlight and OLED Display DriversCCD Imager BiasGeneral High Voltage Supply Bias

The LT3593 is a step-up DC/DC converter designed to drive up to ten white LEDs in series from a Li-Ion cell. Series connection of the LEDs provides identical LED currents and eliminates the need for ballast resistors. The device features a unique high side LED current sense that enables the part to function as a "one wire current source" where the low side of the LED string can be returned to ground anywhere.Additional features include output disconnect in shutdown, open LED protection and 1-pin shutdown/LED current control. The CTRL pin is toggled to adjust the LED current via an internal counter and a 5-bit DAC.The LT3593 switches at 1MHz, allowing the use of tiny external components. Constant frequency switching results in low input noise and a small output capacitor. The LT3593 is available in the 6-lead DFN (2mm × 2mm) as well as the 6-lead SOT-23 packages.ApplicationsCell PhonesDigital CamerasPDAs, Handheld ComputersMP3 PlayersGPS Receivers

The LT3595 is a high performance LED Driver designed to drive sixteen independent channels of up to 10 LEDs at currents up to 50mA. Series connection of the LEDs provides identical LED currents resulting in uniform brightness. Power switches, Schottky diodes, and compensation components are all internal, providing a small converter footprint and lower component cost. The high 2MHz switching frequency permits the use of tiny, low profi le inductors and capacitors. A fixed frequency, current mode architecture results in stable operation over a wide range of supply and output voltage.A single external resistor sets the LED current for all sixteen channels, and dimming is then controlled for each channel by pulse width modulating the individual PWM pins. Relative current matching among the sixteen drivers is 8% and the PWM dimming range is 5000:1. The part is available in a 5mm x 9mm x 0.75mm 56-pin QFN package.ApplicationsLED Video BillboardsLCD TelevisionsStadium and Advertising Displays
