It operates over a wide input range from 4.5V to 21V with a maximum output voltage of 36V and a 2.5A internal power switch. It can drive up to 36V output voltage in 6 strings with current up to 30m A per string. The string-to-string current matching is 1% typical, 3% maximum and the overall efficiency is greater than 90% due to the low current sense voltage and a low-impedance internal power switch. The wide PWM dimming range boasts a ratio of 500: 1. The 800k Hz switching frequency enables the user to optimize the external ponent sizes for high efficiency. When there are fewer LEDs in each string, users can use a lower output voltage protection level which yields an allowable reduction in associated costs, size and voltage ratings of the output capacitor. The SC440 also Features a prehensive open and short circuit LED protection functions. It disables the corresponding strings with LED open or LED short conditions while keeping other strings under normal operation. This feature allows LCD panels to remain viewable even under LED failure, wire disconnect, or shortcircuit conditions. The short LED protection function can be disabled. The internal thermal shutdown protects the IC from overheating at...
