OPERATION

The MP1519L is a charge pump that drives 3

LEDs from a 2.5V to 5.5V input voltage. It

automatically switches between 1x, 1.5x and 2x

charge pump modes to optimize efficiency while

maintaining LED current regulation.

Three drivers independently regulate the

current through the LEDs, therefore matching

LEDs are not required.

The MP1519L employs soft switching and

soft-start to prevent overloading the battery

source at turn-on and charge pump mode

switching.

While operating, the MP1519L continually

monitors the LED current and battery voltage

and automatically switches between charge

pump modes to retain LED current regulation

through all LEDs as the battery voltage

fluctuates.
