General Description
The MAX16834 is a current-mode high-brightness LED
(HB LED) driver for boost, boost-buck, SEPIC, and high-
side buck topologies. In addition to driving an n-channel
power MOSFET switch controlled by the switching con-
troller, it also drives an n-channel PWM dimming switch to
achieve LED PWM dimming. The MAX16834 integrates
all the building blocks necessary to implement a fixed-fre-
quency HB LED driver with wide-range dimming control.
The MAX16834 features constant-frequency peak cur-
rent-mode control with programmable slope compensa-
tion to control the duty cycle of the PWM controller.
A dimming driver designed to drive an external n-chan-
nel MOSFET in series with the LED string provides
wide-range dimming control up to 20kHz. In addition to
PWM dimming, the MAX16834 provides analog dim-
ming using a DC input at REFI. The programmable
switching frequency (100kHz to 1MHz) allows design
optimization for efficiency and board space reduction.
A single resistor from RT/SYNC to ground sets the
switching frequency from 100kHz to 1MHz while an
external clock signal at RT/SYNC disables the internal
oscillator and allows the MAX16834 to synchronize to
an external clock. The MAX16834’s integrated high-
side current-sense amplifier eliminates the need for a
separate high-side LED current-sense amplifier in
boost-buck applications.
The MAX16834 operates over a wide supply range of
4.75V to 28V and includes a 3A sink/source gate driver
for driving a power MOSFET in high-power LED driver
applications. It can also operate at input voltages
greater than 28V in boost configuration with an external
voltage clamp. The MAX16834 is also suitable for DC-
DC converter applications such as boost or boost-
buck. Additional features include external enable/
disable input, an on-chip oscillator, fault indicator out-
put (FLT) for LED open/short or overtemperature condi-
tions, and an overvoltage protection sense input
(OVP+) for true overvoltage protection.
The MAX16834 is available in a thermally enhanced
4mm x 4mm, 20-pin TQFN-EP package and in a thermal-
ly enhanced 20-pin TSSOP-EP package and is specified
over the automotive -40°C to +125°C temperature range.
