The KB4312 step-up converter drives white LEDs
with a constant current to provide backlight in cell
phones, PDAs, and other hand-held devices. It
features allowing series connection of the white
LEDs so that the LED currents are identical for
uniform brightness. An enable input can be pulsed
repeatedly to adjust LED’s brightness. The fast 1.2
MHz current-mode PWM control allows for smaller
capacitor and inductor. Fault condition protection
uses cycle-by-cycle current limiting to sense
maximum inductor current, thermal protection and
over-voltage protection. Also included soft-start
eliminates inrush current during start-up. The 0.24V
low reference voltage minimized the power loss
across the current-setting resistor.
The KB4312 is available in SOT23 packages /

KB4312
Function Description
The KB4312 is a high efficiency and constant current DC-DC converter IC which is designed primarily
for use in LED module applications. The output voltage of the step-up converter can be set from Vin to
28V with external sense resistor. The device suits to drive series-connected LEDs and provides even
illumination by sourcing the same output current through each LED. KB4312 also consists of a logic
