SC441A

SC441A www.DataSheet4U.com POWER MANAGEMENT Features                High Efficiency Integrated Driver for 4-Strings of 150mA LEDs Description The SC441A is a high-efficiency multiple string WLED driver with an integrated boost converter. 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 forty WLEDs in 4 strings with current up to 150mA per string. The string-to-string current matching is 2% typical, 3% maximum. 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 700KHz switching frequency enables the user to optimize the external component sizes for efficiency. When there are fewer than 10 LEDs in each string, users can adjust the output voltage protection yielding an allowable reduction in associated costs, size and voltage ratings of the output capacitor. The SC441A also features comprehensive open and shortcircuit LED protection functions. It disables the corresponding strings with LED open or LED short conditions while maintaining normal operation of other, unaffected LED strings. This feature allows LCD panels to remain viewable even under LED failure, wire disconnect, or short-circuit conditions. The internal thermal shutdown protects the IC from overheating at abnormal conditions. The SC441A is available in a thermally-enhanced TSSOP20...
