  DESIGN IDEAS LTC3202 Charge Pump Improves
  Efficiency for Powering White LEDs
  by Steven Martin
  Introduction
  White LEDs continue to make significant inroads as backlights for color
  active-matrix liquid crystal displays
  in portable equipment. They offer size,
  reliability and cost advantages over
  competing solutions such as cold
  cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFLs).
  However, they require a higher voltage than can be provided by a sagging
  lithium-ion battery. Charge pumps
  provide an economical and compact
  means of attaining a modest increase
  in voltage.
  Although charge pump solutions
  are simple, they can have drawbacks.
  They are typically noisy and have only IIN
