for LCD Backlight Applications
ADD5211
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The
ADD5211
is a four-string, white LED driver for backlight
applications based on high efficiency, current mode, step-up
converter technology. The boost controller drives an external
MOSFET switch for step-up regulation from an input voltage
of 4.5 V to 40 V and a pin adjustable operating frequency from
200 kHz to 1.2 MHz. An adjustable UVLO function is implemented
to reduce input current during power-off.
The
ADD5211
provides four regulated current sinks for uniform
brightness intensity. Each current sink can be driven from 40 mA
to 200 mA; the LED driving current is pin adjustable using an
external resistor. With an input PWM interface, the
ADD5211
drives up to four parallel strings of multiple series connected LEDs.
Additional features include LED short protection, LED open
protection, boost output short protection, overvoltage protection,
cycle-by-cycle current limit, and thermal shutdown for both the
IC and the LED array. An open-drain fault output is also included.
A programmable soft start is implemented to reduce inrush
current during startup.
