PARALLEL DX OUTPUTS FOR INCREASED CURRENT
DRIVE
Outputs D
single LED. In such a configuration, two parallel current
sources of equal value drive the single LED. The voltage on
SD-BRGT should be chosen so that the current through
each of the outputs is programmed to 50% of the total
desired LED current. For example, if 30mA is the desired
drive current for the single LED, SD-BRGT should be se-
lected so that the current through each of the outputs is
15mA. Connecting the outputs in parallel does not affect
internal operation of the LM2793 and has no impact on the
Electrical Characteristics and limits previously presented.
The available diode output current, maximum diode voltage,
and all other specifications provided in the Electrical Char-
acteristics table apply to this parallel output configuration,
just as they do to the standard 2-LED application circuit.

the LM2793 1.5x charge pump. Pre-regulation uses the
voltage present at P
switched capacitor charge pump. Pre-regulation helps to
reduce input current noise and large input current spikes
normally associated with switched capacitor charge pumps.
At voltages below 3.3V (typ.), the LM2793 acts as an open
loop charge pump. When the device is in open loop, the
voltage at P

POWER EFFICIENCY
Figure 2 shows the efficiency of the LM2793.
Efficiency (E) of the LM2793 is defined here as the ratio of

It is also worth noting that efficiency as defined here is in part
dependent on LED voltage. Variation in LED voltage does
not affect power consumed by the circuit and typically does
not relate to the brightness of the LED. For an advanced
analysis, it is recommended that power consumed by the
circuit (V
Power consumption of the LM2793 Typical Application Cir-
cuit is shown in Figure 3.
THERMAL PROTECTION
When the junction temperature exceeds 150˚C, the LM2793
internal thermal protection circuitry disables the part. This
feature protects the device from damage due to excessive
power dissipation. The device will recover and operate nor-
mally when the junction temperature falls below 125˚C. It is
important to have good thermal conduction with a proper
layout to reduce thermal resistance.
