Integrated 16-Channel LED Drivers with Switch-Mode Boost and SEPIC Controller
General Description
The MAX16809/MAX16810 are integrated, high-efficiency white or RGB LED drivers. They are designed for LCD backlighting and other LED lighting applications with multiple strings of LEDs. The MAX16809/ MAX16810’s current-mode PWM controller regulates the necessary voltage to the LED array. Depending on the input voltage and LED voltage range, it can be used with boost or buck-boost (SEPIC) topologies. The MAX16809/MAX16810 LED drivers include 16 open-drain, constant-current-sinking LED driver outputs rated for 36V continuous operation. The LED...
