The following Microchip documents are available and recommended as supplemental reference resources. MCP1252/3 Data Sheet, “Low Noise, Positive Regulated Charge Pump”, (DS21752) This data sheet provides detailed information regarding the MCP1252/3 product family.
LED applications. Light intensity is controlled uniformly through the use of ballast resistors. The peak intensity is set by the feedback (FB) to the the MCP1252-ADJ. Dimming is accomplished by pulse-width modulating the shutdown pin of the device.
The MCP1252 allows the input voltage to be lower or higher than the the output voltage by automatically switching between buck and boost operation. This makes it especially...
LEDs. A PIC10F206 microcontroller in a SOT23 package is used to provide an enable signal to the MCP1252. It also accepts a push button input that allows the user to adjust the white LEDs to five different light intensities, in addition to placing the system in a standby mode that consumes less than 1 µA of current (typ.).
(<1 µA) until the S1 button is pressed by the user. The MCP1252 Charge Pump Backlight LED Demo Board does not need a power switch or power jumper because of the “standby” or “sleep” mode of the PIC10F206 microcontroller.

There are 5 levels of LED intensity (plus the “off” state). The intensity of the LEDs are controlled via the SHDN input pin of the MCP1252. A Pulse-Width Modulated (PWM) signal is generated by the PIC10F206 and routed to the SHDN input pin of the MCP1252.
