ISL97900
RGB Buck-Boost 3-Channel Color Sequencing LED Driver
The ISL97900 is a highly efficient 3-channel, 1.5A sequential
LED driver powered from a single-cell Li-ion battery, or
regulated input voltage up to 5.5V. This LED driver incorporates
an independent current controlled driving mechanism for each
of the LED's, which allows accurate current control of the LED
brightness.
The ISL97900 utilizes a buck-boost converter to ensure that
optimum output voltage is maintained for a wide range of LED
forward voltages. The integrated buck-boost converter
operates well over 90% efficiency across a wide range of
operating conditions. The power conversion core implements a
proprietary algorithm that allows seamless transitions and
glitch-free operation between the buck and the boost modes
as the battery voltage drops during operation.
The ISL97900 architecture includes a 10-bit DAC, which
controls the LED currents. Each of the LED currents can be
programmed through serial interface.
The ISL97900 also includes the Dynamic Headroom
Management function to provide seamless adjustment for the
LEDs’ voltages, which reduces power consumption.
