8-String White LED Driver with SMBus for LCD Panel Applications
General Description
The MAX17061 is a high-efficiency driver for white lightemitting diodes (LEDs). It is designed for large liquidcrystal displays (LCDs) that employ an array of LEDs as the light source. An internal switch current-mode step-up controller drives the LED array, which can be configured for up to eight strings in parallel and 10 LEDs per string. Each string is terminated with ballast that achieves ±1.5% current-regulation accuracy between strings, ensuring even LED brightness. The MAX17061 has a wide inputvoltage range from 4.5V to 26V, and provides a fixed 25mA or adjustable 15mA to 30mA full-scale LED current.
