MAX8595Z/MAX8596Z
The MAX8595Z/MAX8596Z drive up to 8 white LEDs
with constant current and high efficiency to provide
LCD backlighting in cell phones, PDAs, and other
handheld devices. The series connection allows the
LED currents to be identical for uniform brightness and
minimizes the number of traces to the LEDs. The
MAX8595Z regulates constant LED current over the
entire temperature range. The MAX8596Z features an
ambient-temperature derating function to avoid over-
driving the white LEDs during high ambient tempera-
tures, enabling higher drive current below +42°C.
A single Dual Mode™ input provides a simple means of
brightness adjustment and on/off control. Fast 1MHz
current-mode PWM operation allows for small input and
output capacitors and a small inductor while minimizing
ripple on the input supply/battery. Soft-start eliminates
inrush current during startup.
The MAX8595Z/MAX8596Z are available in a space-
saving, 8-pin 3mm x 3mm TDFN package.

Pin Description

NAME

FUNCTION
Overvoltage Sense. When V
OUT
is greater than 34V (typ), the internal n-channel MOSFET turns off
until V
OUT
drops below 32V (typ), then the IC re-enters soft-start. Connect a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor
from OUT to ground. In shutdown, V
OUT
is one diode drop below V
IN
.
Input Voltage Supply. The input voltage range is 2.6V to 5.5V. Connect a 2.2µF ceramic capacitor
from IN to GND.
Brightness Control Input. The voltage applied to CTRL controls LED brightness. Varying the voltage
from 0.24V to 1.65V (1.72V for the MAX8596Z) adjusts the brightness from dim to 100% brightness,
respectively. Any voltage above 1.65V (1.72V) does not increase brightness. Hold CTRL below
100mV to shut down the IC after an 8.2ms delay.
Current-Sense Feedback Input. Connect a resistor from CS to GND to set the LED bias current. The
voltage at CS regulates to V
CTRL
/ 5 or 0.330V (0.343V for the MAX8596Z), whichever is lower.
Compensation Input. Connect a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor (C
COMP
) from COMP to GND. C
COMP
stabilizes the converter, controls soft-start, and lowpass filters direct PWM dimming at CTRL. C
COMP
discharges to 0V through an internal 20kΩ resistor in shutdown.
Ground. Connect to PGND and the exposed pad directly under the IC.
Power Ground. Connect to GND and the exposed pad directly under the IC.
Inductor Connection. Connect LX to the node between the inductor and the Schottky diode. LX is
high impedance in shutdown.
Exposed Pad. Connect to a large ground plane for maximum package heat dissipation. Connect
directly to GND and PGND under the IC.
