1) Very Low-Cost, High-Efficiency Solution (Figure 2).
A battery (single Li+ or three NiMH cells) powers
the LEDs directly. This is the least expensive and
most efficient architecture. Due to the high forward

voltage of white LEDs (3.3V), the LED brightness
may dim slightly at the end of battery life. The
MAX1916 ’ s current-regulating architecture and low
dropout greatly minimize this effect compared to
using simple ballast resistors. The enable function

DAC is used as V CTRL such that the LED brightness
may be dynamically adjusted to eliminate factory
calibration. A battery (single Li+ or three NiMH
cells) or a regulated power source drives the LEDs.
3) Existing 5V Supply (Figure 4). Use an existing sys-
tem regulator, such as the MAX684, to provide the
required LED voltage and provide power to other
circuits. Due to the high forward voltage of white
LEDs (3.3V), use a 3.6V to 5.5V regulated supply to
