MAX1984/MAX1985/MAX1986
The MAX1984/MAX1985/MAX1986 are white light-emit-
ting diode (LED) drivers that use individual regulators to
control the current of up to eight LEDs. A high-efficiency
step-up regulator generates just enough voltage to keep
all the current regulators in regulation. A versatile dim-
ming interface accommodates analog, digitally adjusted
pulse-width modulation (DPWM), or parallel control.
The individual current regulators allow good current
matching between LEDs. Open or shorted LEDs cannot
affect the performance of other LEDs.
The step-up regulator achieves high efficiency by using
synchronous rectification. The internal N-channel switch
and P-channel synchronous rectifier eliminate the need
for external MOSFETs and diodes. The 1MHz switching
frequency allows the use of low-profile inductors and
ceramic capacitors.
The brightness can be easily adjusted using a multi-
mode dimming interface, which allows brightness control
through a DPWM signal, a 2- or 3-bit parallel control
interface, or an analog signal. The DPWM signal can be
connected directly to the control pin without the need for
an external RC filter if its frequency is 10kHz or above.
The MAX1984 drives up to eight LEDs, the MAX1985
drives up to six LEDs, and the MAX1986 drives up to
four LEDs. Each device has an LED select pin (SEL)
that allows one subset, the other subset, or all LEDs to
be illuminated. All three devices are available in a
4mm
✕
4mm thin QFN package.
