Description

The AP3036B is an inductor-based DC/DC converter designed to drive up to eight white LEDs in series for backlight. Only one feedback resistor is needed to control the LED current and obtain required brightness.

A constant frequency 1.0MHz PWM control scheme is employed in this IC, which means tiny external components can be used. Specifically, 1mm tall inductor and 0.22μF output capacitor for a typical application is sufficient. Additionally, the Schottky diode in boost circuit is integrated on this chip. The AP3036B also provides a disable pin to ease its use for different systems.
 
The output over-voltage protection is implemented in AP3036B. When any LED is broken or in other abnormal conditions, the output voltage will be clamped.
 
The AP3036B is available in standard SOT26 package.
