Description
The AP5726 is a step-up DC/DC converter specifically
designed to drive white LEDs with a constant current. The
device can drive 2 ~ 6 LEDs in series from a Li-Ion cell.
Series connection of the LEDs provides identical LED
currents resulting in uniform brightness and eliminates the
need for ballast resistors. For driving higher number of LEDs,
AP5726 also supports a single feedback of parallel
connected multiple strings of equal number of LEDs.
The AP5726 switches at 1.2MHz that allows the use of tiny
external components. A low 0.31V feedback voltage
minimizes power loss in the current setting resistor for better
efficiency.
