ZXSC380 Single or multi cell LED driver solution Description The ZXSC380 is a highly integrated single or The IC can start up under full load and operates multi cell LED driver for applications where down to an input voltage of only 0.9V typical. step-up voltage conversion from a very low The ZXSC380 is offered in the space saving input voltage is required. These applications SOT23 package or in die form, offering an mainly operate from 1.5V or 1.2V cells. The IC excellent cost vs performance solution for generates constant current pulses that are single cell LED driving applications. ideal for driving single or multiple LEDs over a wide range of operating voltages. The ZXSC380 provides a simple to use, low cost, space saving and easy to layout solutions. The ZXSC380 uses a PFM control technique to drive an internal switching transistor which has a low saturation resistance. This ensures high efficiency, even for input voltages as low as 1V.
