ROHM BD82103GWL LED Driver Technical Note

BD82103GWL is charge pump type 2 light or 3 light parallel LED driver for the portable instruments. This IC not only ensures efficient boost by automatically changing the boost rate but also works as a constant current driver in 16 steps, so that the driving current can be adjusted finely. This IC is best suited to turn on white LEDs that require high-accuracy LED brightness control.
