MIC2846A - High Efficiency 6 Channel Linear WLED Driver

General Description

The MIC2846A is a high efficiency White LED (WLED) driver featuring two low quiescent current LDOs.

It is designed to drive up to six LEDs and greatly extend battery life for portable display backlighting and keypad backlighting in mobile devices.

Key Features

  • Dynamic Averaged Matching™ (DAM™) which is specifically designed to get the optimum matching despite process variations. This ensures a typical matching of ±1.5% between all six LED channels. The LED brightness is preset by an external resistor and can be dimmed using a single-wire digital control. The digital interface takes commands from digital programming pulses to change the brightness in a logarithmic scale similar to the eye’s perception of brightness. The singlewire digital brightness co.

MIC2846A High Efficiency 6 Channel Linear WLED Driver with DAM™, Digital Control and Dual Low IQ LDOs General Description The MIC2846A is a high efficiency White LED (WLED) driver featuring two low quiescent current LDOs. It is designed to drive up to six LEDs and greatly extend battery life for portable display backlighting and keypad backlighting in mobile devices. The MIC2846A architecture provides the highest possible efficiency by eliminating switching losses present in traditional charge pumps or inductive boost circuits. With a typical dropout of 40mV at 20mA, the MIC2846A allows the LEDs to be driven directly from the battery eliminating switching noise and losses present with the use of boost circuitry.
