Key Document
Description
This LM20323 integrated FET sync-buck converter regulates the current in a white LED to 0.5A with minimum parts count. LED current is accurately measured with an INA193 and provides feedback to regulate the output current.
Features
- High switching frequency (520KHz) allows small size
- Integrated controller allows low parts count
- This design has been verified and includes a test report
