MAX8596X Description
The series connection allows the LED currents to be identical for uniform brightness and minimizes the number of traces to the LEDs. The MAX8595X regulates constant LED current over the entire temperature range. The MAX8596X features an ambient-temperature derating function to avoid overdriving the white LEDs during high ambient temperatures, enabling higher drive current below +42°C.
