TM EV0042 1x, 1.5x, 2x High Efficiency Charge Pump 4 White LED Driver Evaluation Board The Future of Analog IC Technology TM GENERAL DESCRIPTION FEATURES The EV0042 is an evaluation board for the MP1519, a fully automatic driver for powering four white LEDs, with up to 4V forward voltage, from a single Li-Ion or three NiMH cells. The driver performs all of the sensing and control to run the LEDs at an optimum charge pump ratio for efficiency without an expensive inductor. The driver allows PWM operation to support brightness control. • • • • • • • • • • • • • The tiny 3mm x 3mm QFN16 package and small external capacitors allow for the most compact white LED solution available.
