GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ACT6357 and ACT6358 step-up DC/DC converters drive white LEDs with an externally programmable constant current. These devices feature integrated, 40V power MOSFETs that are capable of driving up to ten white LEDs in series, providing inherent current matching for uniform brightness. WLED brightness adjustment is easily achieved via a dual-function pin, which accepts either a PWM or an analog dimming control signal.
