Programmable Switch-Mode LED Driver with Analog-Controlled PWM Dimming
General Description
The MAX16816 is a current-mode, high-brightness LED (HB LED) driver designed to control two external n-channel MOSFETs for single-string LED current regulation. The MAX16816 integrates all the building blocks necessary to implement fixed-frequency HB LED drivers with wide-range dimming control and EEPROMprogrammable LED current binning with a factor of up to 1.6. This device is configurable to operate as a stepdown (buck), step-up (boost), or step-up/step-down (buck-boost) current regulator. Current-mode control with adjustable leading-edge blanking simplifies control-loop design.
