LED Torch Circuit Using MAX660

This is a design circuit for a simple LED torch circuit based on IC MAX660 from MAXIM semiconductors. This is the figure of the circuit;

The MAX 660 is a CMOS type monolithic type voltage converter IC. The IC can easily drive three extra bright white LEDs. The LEDs are connected in parallel to the output pin 8 of the IC. The circuit has good battery life. The switch S1 can be a push to ON switch. [Circuit diagram source: CircuitsToday.com]
