The LED can be turned on and off with a variable duty cycle applied to the EN pin for applications that require current dimming. Compared to its counterpart, the MCP1663 which is designed to be a voltage source, the start-up time for the MCP1664 has been decreased in order to obtain better performance in dimming applications.
MCP1664 LED Driver Evaluation Board User’s Guide WHAT IS THE MCP1664 LED DRIVER EVALUATION BOARD? The MCP1664 LED Driver Evaluation Board is used to evaluate and demonstrate Microchip Technology’s MCP1664 product. This board demonstrates the MCP1664 in a boost-converter application supplied from an external voltage source, which drives a string of LEDs with three selectable currents.
Chapter 2. Installation and Operation INTRODUCTION The MCP1664 has been developed for applications that require driving a string of LEDs from a low-voltage source. The MCP1664 is a non-synchronous step-up regulator that can operate over a wide output range up to 32V. Its maximum output current is based on the switch peak current limit (set to 1.8A) and on the maximum...

FIGURE 2-3: Maximum Output Current vs. Input Voltage. For the MCP1664 LED Driver Evaluation Board, if the current select switch is set to 90 mA, the input voltage range varies from 2.4V to 5.5V; when the current select switch is set to 180 mA, the input voltage range is from 3V to 5.5V; when the current select switch is set to 270 mA, the input voltage range runs from 4.5V to 5.5V...

2.3.1.4 PWM DIMMING BLOCK The MCP1664 allows PWM dimming by turning on and off the LED with a PWM signal applied to the EN pin. The maximum frequency for dimming is limited by the start-up and the load. By varying the duty cycle of the PWM signal applied on the EN pin, the LED current changes linearly.
