LP8860-Q1: LP8860 without the boost converter

Part Number: LP8860-Q1
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TLC59116-Q1

Hi,

My application requires controlling the brightness of four LEDs individually using I2C interface and PWM input. I find that LP8860-Q1 suits my application except that the boost regulator is not required as the forward voltage of an LED is about 3V only.

Can I use this IC without the boost converter; ie sourcing 3.3V directly onto the LED anode and leaving the converter pins open.

Eventhough I will be under utilising this IC, I find that this is the only option that suits my requirement. I find that there are other LED drivers available in market but not much with the current capability of the like of 150mA per channel.

Thanks.
