Ricoh R1218x Series Step-up DC/DC Converter Datasheet
The R1218x Series are PWM control type step-up DC/DC converter ICs with low supply current, fully dedicated to driving White LEDs. Each 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), and an over-voltage protection circuit (OVP). The series is available in standard SOT-23-6 and very tiny DFN(PLP)1820-6 packages.
