The LM3630A is a current-mode boost converter which supplies the power and controls the current in up to two strings of 10 LEDs per string. Programming is done over an I2C-compatible interface. The maximum LED current is adjustable from 5 mA to 28.5 mA. At any given maximum LED current the LED brightness is further adjusted with 256 exponential or linear dimming steps. Additionally, pulsed width modulation (PWM) brightness control can be enabled allowing for LED current adjustment by a logic level PWM signal.
The boost switching frequency is programmable at 500 kHz for low switching loss
performance or 1 MHz to allow the use of tiny low-profile inductors. A setting for a 10% offset of
these frequencies is available. Overvoltage protection is programmable at 16 V,
24 V, 32 V, or 40 V to accommodate a wide variety of LED configurations and Schottky
diode/output capacitor combinations.
The device operates over a 2.3-V to 5.5-V operating voltage range and –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature range. The LM3630A is available in an ultra-small 12-bump DSBGA package.

This reference design uses our capacitive-to-digital converter technology to provide a high-precision method to wake up systems when human interaction occurs. TIDA-00220 demonstrates techniques for an alternative sensor design, environmental compensation and electromagnetic interference protection.
This system conserves power and extends backlight life by dynamically adjusting the backlight brightness relative to the environment's ambient light. A capacitive proximity sensor wakes up the system when a user is close to save even more power.
