7.3.1.1 High-Voltage Boost Converter

The high-voltage boost converter provides power for the three high-voltage current sinks (HVLED1, HVLED2, and HVLED3). The boost circuit operates using a 4.7-µH to 22-µH inductor and a 1-µF output capacitor. The selectable 500-kHz or 1-MHz switching frequency allows for use of small external components and provides for high boost-converter efficiency. HVLED1, HVLED2, and HVLED3 feature an adaptive current regulation scheme where the feedback point (HVLED1, HVLED2, and HVLED3) regulates the LED headroom voltage VHR_MIN. When there are different voltage requirements in the high-voltage LED strings (string mismatch), the LM3697 regulates the feedback point of the highest voltage string to VHR_MIN and drop the excess voltage of the lower voltage string across the lower strings current sink.
