The AP5724 is a step-up DC/DC converter specifically designed to
drive white LEDs with a constant current. The device can drive 2 ~ 6
LEDs in series from a Li-Ion cell. Series connection of the LEDs
provides identical LED currents resulting in uniform brightness and
eliminates the need for ballast resistors. For driving higher number of
LEDs, AP5724 also supports a single feedback of parallel connected
multiple strings of equal number of LEDs.
The AP5724 switches at 1.2MHz that allows the use of tiny external
components. A low 0.1V feedback voltage minimizes power loss in
the current setting resistor for better efficiency

Feedback Pin. Reference voltage is 0.1V. Connect cathode of lowest LED and a sense resister here. Calculate resistor value
according to the formula: R
Converter On/Off Control Input. A high input at EN turns the converter On, and a low input turns it off. If On/Off control is not
needed, connect EN to the input source for automatic startup. The EN pin cannot be left floating.
Input Supply Pin. Must be locally bypassed with 1μF or 2.2μF to reduce input noise.
