The AP3156 is a 6-channel low noise, constant frequency charge pump DC/DC converter that uses a tri-mode load switch (1X), fractional (1.5X), and doubling (2X) conversion to maximize efficiency in white °C applications. The AP3156 is capable of driving 6 °C channels at a combined maximum of 120mA from a 2.7V to 5.5V input. The current sink outputs may be operated individually or in parallel for driving higher-current °Cs. A low external parts count (two 1μF flying capacitors and two small 1μF capacitors at VIN and VOUT) make this part ideally suited for small, battery-powered applications. The AP3156's serial digital input is used to enable, disable and set current for each °C with a 32-level logarithmic scale plus four low-current settings down to 50μA for optimized efficiency, with a low quiescent current of only 50μA.
