General Description
The MAX16809 is an integrated, high-efficiency white or
RGB LED driver. It is designed for LCD backlighting
and other LED lighting applications with multiple strings
of LEDs. The MAX16809’s current-mode PWM con-
troller regulates the necessary voltage to the LED array.
Depending on the input voltage and LED voltage
range, this device can be used with boost or buck-
boost (SEPIC) topologies.
The MAX16809 LED driver includes 16 open-drain, con-
stant-current-sinking LED driver outputs rated for 36V
continuous operation. The LED current-control circuitry
achieves ±3% current matching among strings and
enables paralleling of outputs for LED string currents
higher than 55mA. The output-enable pin is used for
simultaneous PWM dimming of all output channels.
Dimming frequency range is 50Hz to 30kHz and dim-
ming ratio is up to 5000:1. The constant-current outputs
are single resistor programmable and the LED current
can be adjusted up to 55mA per output channel.
The MAX16809 operates either in stand-alone mode or
with a microcontroller (μC) using an industry-standard, 4-
wire serial interface.
The MAX16809 includes overtemperature protection,
operates over the full -40°C to +125°C temperature
range, and is available in a 5mm x 7mm thermally
enhanced, 38-pin TQFN exposed paddle package.
