Texas Instruments LM3538
The LM3538 is a highly integrated LED driver capable of driving 6 LEDs in parallel for single display backlighting applications. The LM3538 provides multizone Ambient Light Sensing allowing autonomous backlight intensity control in the event of changing ambient light conditions. The LM3538 provides excellent efficiency without the use of an inductor by operating the charge pump in a gain of 3/2 or in Pass-Mode.FEATURES

DESCRIPTION
Independent LED control allows for a subset of the main display LEDs to be selected for partial illumination applications. I2C-compatible control allows full configurability of the backlighting function. A PWM input is also provided to give the user a means to adjust the backlight intensity dynamically based upon the content of the display.
