DESCRIPTION
The CAT3643 is a high efficiency Quad-ModeTM
fractional charge pump that can drive up to three
LEDs programmable by a one wire digital interface.
The inclusion of a 1.33x fractional charge pump mode
increases device efficiency by up to 10% over
traditional 1.5x charge pumps with no added external
capacitors.
Low noise input ripple is achieved by operating at a
constant switching frequency which allows the use of
small external ceramic capacitors. The multi-fractional
charge pump supports a wide range of input voltages
from 2.4V to 5.5V.
The EN/DIM logic input functions as a chip enable and
a digital dimming interface for current setting of all
LEDs. Six different current ratios are available via the
interface.
The device is available in the tiny 12-pad XQFN 2.5 x
2.5mm with max height of 0.4mm or in 16-pad TQFN
or 12-pad TDFN 3mm x 3mm package with a max
height of 0.8mm.
≤ 5.5V, over full ambient temperature range -40ºC to +85ºC.

LED Current Setting
The nominal LED current is set by the external
resistor connected between the RSET pin and
ground. Table 1 lists standard resistor values for
several LED current settings.
