General Description
The APW7136A/B/C is a current-mode and fixed frequency
boost converter with an integrated N-FET to drive up to 8
white LEDs in series.
The series connection allows the LED current to be identical for uniform brightness. Its low on-resistance of NFET and feedback voltage reduce power loss and achieve
high efficiency. Fast 1MHz current-mode PWM operation
is available for input and output capacitors and a s mall
inductor while minimizing ripple on the input supply. The
OVP pin monitors the output voltage and stops switching
if exceeds the over-voltage threshold. An internal softstart circuit eliminates the inrush current during s tart-up.
The APW7136A/B/C also integrates under-voltage
lockout, over-temperature protection, and c urrent-limit
circuits. The APW7136/A/B/C is available in a SOT-23-6
packages.

Note: ANPEC lead-free products contain molding compounds/die attach materials and 100% matte tin plate termination finish; which
are fully compliant with RoHS. ANPEC lead-free products meet or exceed the lead-free requirements of IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020D for
MSL classification at lead-free peak reflow temperature. ANPEC defines “Green” to mean lead-free (RoHS compliant) and halogen
free (Br or Cl does not exceed 900ppm by weight in homogeneous material and total of Br and Cl does not exceed 1500ppm by
weight).
