FAN5608 - Fairchild Semiconductor

FAN5608 Serial/Parallel LED Driver

The FAN5608 LED driver generates regulated output currents from a battery with input voltage varying between 2.7V to 5V. An internal NMOS switch drives an external inductor, and a Schottky diode delivers the inductor’s stored energy to the load. Proprietary internal circuitry continuously monitors the currrent on both strings and automatically adjusts the ge.
