AS3693A QFN48
austriamicrosystems
Product Specification, Confidential
1 General Description
The AS3693A is a 16 channels high precision LED
driver with build in PWM generators for building
backlight panels in LCD-TV-sets.
External clock and synchronizing inputs allow the
synchronization of the LCD backlight with the TV
picture. Local dimming and scan dimming is
supported by 16 independent PWM generators with
programmable delay, period and duty cycle. Three
free configurable dynamic power feedback circuits
make the device usable for white LED as well as
RGB backlights. Build in safety features include
thermal shutdown as well as open and short LED
detection. All circuit parameters are programmable
via I2C or SPI interface.
