三：General Description

The TX5121 is a step-up DC/DC converter specifically designed to drive up to 6 series white LEDs with constant current. Series connection of the LEDs provides identical LED currents resulting in uniform brightness and eliminates the need for ballast resistors. The TX5121 switches at 1.4MHz, allowing the use of tiny external components. A low 0.25V feedback voltage minimizes power loss in the current setting resistor for high efficiency. The OVP pin monitors the output voltage and turns off the converter whenever the LEDs are open.

The TX5121 is available in low profile SOT-23-6 package.
