Low cost six channel led backlight
driver with integrated power supply
The 34845 series represents high efficiency LED drivers for use in backlighting
LCD displays from 10” to 17”. Operating from supplies of 5.0 V to 21 V, the 34845
series is capable of driving up to 16 LEDs in series in six separate strings. The
LED current tolerance in the six strings is within ±2% maximum and is set using
a resistor to GND.
PWM dimming is performed by applying a PWM input signal to the PWM pin
which modulates the LED channels directly. An Enable Pin (EN) provides for low
power standby. Alternatively, a single wire scheme selects power down when
PWM is connected to the Wake pin and held low.
The integrated boost converter uses dynamic headroom control to automatically
set the output voltage. There are three device versions for boost frequency;
34845C is 600 kHz, and the 34845D is 300 kHz. External compensation allows
the use of different inductor/ capacitor combinations.
The 34845 includes fault protection modes for LED short and open,
overtemperature, overcurrent and overvoltage errors. It features an internally
fixed OVP value of 60 V (typical) which protects the device in the event of a failure
in the externally programmed OVP. The OVP level can be set by using an
external resistor divider. This device is powered using SMARTMOS technology.
Features
• Input voltage of 5.0 V to 21 V

Definition
Main voltage supply Input. IC Power input supply voltage, is used internally to produce internal voltage regulation for logic
functioning, and also as an input voltage for the boost regulator.
Power ground. This is the ground pin for the internal Boost FET.
Boost switch node connection B. Switching node of boost converter.
Boost switch node connection A. Switching node of boost converter.
Power ground. This is the ground pin for the internal Boost FET.
Enable pin (active high, internal pull-down).
LED string connections 1 to 6. LED current drivers. Each line has the capability of driving up to 30 mA.
Ground Reference for all internal circuits other than the Boost FET. The Exposed Pad (EP) should be used for thermal
heat dissipation.
Fault detected pin (open drain):
• No Failure = Low-impedance pull-down
• Failure = High-impedance
When a fault situation is detected, this pin goes into high-impedance.
LED current setting. The maximum current is set using a resistor from this pin to GND.
External PWM control signal.
Boost compensation component connection. This passive pin is used to compensate the boost converter. Add a
capacitor and a resistor in series to GND to stabilize the system as well as a shunt capacitor.
Low power consumption mode for single wire control. This is achieved by connecting the WAKE and PWM pins together
and grounding the ENABLE (EN) pin.
2.5 V internal voltage decoupling. This pin is for internal use only, and not to be used for other purposes. A capacitor of
2.2
μF
should be connected between this pin and ground.
External boost overvoltage setting. Requires a resistor divider from VOUT to GND. If no external OVP setting is desired,
this pin should be grounded.
