Ricoh R1204x Series Step-up DC/DC Converter Datasheet
The R1204x Series are low supply current CMOS-based PWM step-up DC/DC converters. Internally, a single IC consists of an NMOS FET, an oscillator, a PWM comparator, a voltage reference unit, an error amplifier, a current limit circuit, an under-voltage lockout circuit (UVLO), an over-voltage protection circuit (OVP), a soft-start circuit, a maximum duty cycle limit circuit, and a thermal shutdown protection circuit.
The series provides R1204xxxA/D versions optimized for serial driving of white LEDs with constant current, and R1204xxxB/C/E/F versions optimized for constant voltage driving. Among the latter, only R1204xxxC/F versions are equipped with PWM/VFM auto-switching controls.
