  • Description

    The LM2791 is a CMOS charge-pump voltage doubler and regulator that provides two regulated current sources. The LM2791 is designed to drive two white (or blue) LEDs with matched currents (within ± 0.3%) to produce balanced light sources for display backlights. They accept an input voltage range from 3V to 5.8V and maintain a constant current determined by an external set resistor.

    The LM2791 delivers up to 36mA of load current to accommodate two high forward voltage (typically white) LEDs. The switching frequency is 450kHz (min.) to keep the conducted noise spectrum away from sensitive frequencies within portable RF devices.

    In the LM2791, brightness is controlled by applying a voltage between GND and 3.0V to the BRGT pin. The LM2791 is available in active high or low shutdown versions. The shutdown pin reduces the operating current to 1µA (max.).

    The LM2791 is available in a 10 pin leadless leadframe (LLP) CSP package.

    Note: The Early Failure Rates (EFR) were calculated as point estimate PPM based on rejects and sample size for EFR. The Long Term Failure Rates were calculated at 60% confidence using the Arrhenius equation at 0.7eV activation energy and derating the assumed stress temperature of 150°C to an application temperature of 55°C.
