R1218 Series
PWM Step-up DC/DC Converter for White LED

Download Datasheet

  • Description

    The R1218 Series are CMOS-based PWM step-up DC/DC converters, which are optimized to drive white LEDs with constant current. R1218 includes an under-voltage lockout circuit (UVLO), over-voltage protection circuit (OVP). By simply using an inductor, a resistor, and a capacitor (, a diode) as external components, white LEDs can be driven with constant current efficiency. R1218Nxx1A for 2 to 4 lights contains an internal diode while R1218Nxx2A for 5 to 7 lights requires an external diode. The LED current can be determined by the value of current setting resistor. The brightness of the LEDs can be adjusted by applying a PWM signal to the CE or VFB pin.
