ISL97687
4-Channel LED Driver with Phase Shift Control and 10-Bit Dimming Resolution
The
ISL97687
is a PWM controlled LED driver that supports
4 channels of LED current, for Monitor and TV LCD backlight
applications. It is capable of driving 160mA per channel from a
9V to 32V input supply, with current sources rated up to 75V
absolute maximum.
The ISL97687’s current sources achieve typical current
matching to ±1%, while dynamically maintaining the
minimum required V
OUT
necessary for regulation. This adaptive
scheme compensates for the non-uniformity of forward
voltage variance in the LED strings.
The ISL97687 can decode both an incoming PWM signal and
an analog input voltage, for DC-to-PWM dimming applications.
Modes include direct PWM and several modes where the PWM
frequency is synthesized on chip at 10-bit resolution. This can
be either free running, or synchronized with the frame rate to
give both a frequency and a phase lock, minimizing panel to
panel variation and display flicker. Phase shift is supported,
reducing flicker and audio noise, as is multiplication of the
incoming decoded analog and PWM values.
The ISL97687 has an advanced dynamic headroom control
function, which monitors the highest LED forward voltage
string, and regulates the output to the correct level to minimize
power loss. This proprietary regulation scheme also allows for
extremely linear PWM dimming from 0.02% to 100%. The LED
current can also be switched between two current levels, giving
support for 3D applications. The ISL97687 incorporates
extensive protections of string open and short circuit
detections, OVP, and OTP.
