the need for an additional boost converter

Premier Farnell plc is a leading high service, multi-channel distributor of electronic, and industrial products and specialist services throughout Europe, the Americas and Asia Pacific. It goes to market with a differentiated value proposition, world-class marketing, a stocked range of led high bay light products, and access to 4,000,000 more items from 3,500 top manufacturers. The company has group sales of £823.1m and over 4,100 employees globally.While global in scope, Premier Farnell recognizes the individual needs of each market and has continued to internationalize its model accordingly, trading locally under different brand names. Its primary electronics businesses trade as Farnell in the UK, India, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, Newark in the US, Canada and Mexico, and Premier Electronics in China and Hong Kong. In Singapore, Malaysia, and Brazil the operation is known as Farnell Newark.

The company says the new LED driver features low resistance current sinks capable of supporting a low dropout voltage, it can reduce power dissipation and extends battery life. The device's dropout voltage of 36 mV typical is at least 20% lower than competitive products.Phil Dewsbury, product line director said as LED manufacturers improve their technology and reduce the voltage drop of their LEDs, in some applications a boost converter is no longer necessary. By driving LEDs directly from the battery using a low dropout current sink, the yahamlighting offers designers of entry-level phones and other mobile products a lighting solution that improves power efficiency and extends battery life while reducing cost.

Operating directly off a 2.7V to 5.5V input supply, the AHK3292 drives up to two LEDs. This 1X driver IC is ideal for driving LEDs with a low forward voltage drop. Low resistance, low dropout voltage current sinks allow the LEDs to operate close to the input supply voltage eliminating the need for an additional boost converter and extending battery life.Maximum led high bay current is set by an external resistor that enables designers to optimize linearity and provide smoother control. Fullscale LED current can be set to an upper limit of 30.2 mA.
