High-Power Synchronous HBLED

Drivers with Rapid Current Pulsing

General Description

The MAX16821A, MAX16821B, and MAX16821C pulse-

width-modulation (PWM) LED driver controllers provide

high output-current capability in a compact package with a

minimum number of external components. The

MAX16821A–MAX16821C are suitable for use in synchro-

nous and nonsynchronous step-down (buck), boost, buck-

boost, SEPIC, and Cuk LED drivers. A logic input (MODE)

allows the devices to switch between synchronous buck

and boost modes of operation. These devices are the first

high-power drivers designed specifically to accommodate

common-anode HB LEDs.

The ICs offer average current-mode control that enable

the use of MOSFETs with optimal charge and on-

resistance figure of merit, thus minimizing the need for

external heatsinking even when delivering up to 30A of

LED current.

The differential sensing scheme provides accurate control

of the LED current. The ICs operate from a 4.75V to 5.5V

supply range with the internal regulator disabled (V

CC

connected to IN). These devices operate from a 7V to 28V

input supply voltage with the internal regulator enabled.

The MAX16821A–MAX16821C feature a clock output

with 180° phase delay to control a second out-of-phase

LED driver to reduce input and output filter capacitor size

and to minimize ripple currents. The wide switching fre-

quency range (125kHz to 1.5MHz) allows the use of small

inductors and capacitors.

Additional features include programmable overvoltage

protection and an output enable function.
