MAX16826
EVALUATION KIT AVAILABLE
Programmable, Four-String HB LED Driver with Output-Voltage Optimization and Fault Detection
General Description
The MAX16826 high-brightness LED (HB LED) driver is designed for backlighting automotive LCD displays and other display applications such as industrial or desktop monitors and LCD televisions. The MAX16826 integrates a switching regulator controller, a 4-channel linear current sink driver, an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), and an I2C interface. The IC is designed to withstand automotive load dump transients up to 40V and can operate under cold crank conditions.
The MAX16826 contains a current-mode PWM switching regulator controller that regulates the output voltage to the LED array.
