DESCRIPTION
The ST1938 is a step-up DC/DC converter for white LED driver with over voltage protection.
The device can driver one to four LEDs in series from a single cell Lithium Ion battery.
Internal functions include current limiting; thermal shutdown; OVP and soft-start to prevent damage operate status. The ST1938 operates at 0.8MHz and from low input voltages as low as 1.5V; apply to Lithium-Ion powered systems. A low 95mV reference voltage minimizes power loss in the current setting resistor for better efficiency.
The ST1938 is available in small package SOT-23-6L
