AS3695A
16-Channel White LED Driver for LCD
Backlight
General Description
The AS3695A is a 16-channel precision LED driver for use in
LCD-backlight panels.
All current sinks are fully integrated (integrated FETs) therefore
minimizing the overall bill of material. Each channel is equipped
with an independent PWM generator which can also be
synchronized to an external synchronization signal (VSYNC) to
enable local dimming.
A 10-bit high accurate DAC (trimmed in production) is used to
set the LED current.
Dynamic power feedback controls the external power supply
to guarantee best efficiency. Build in safety features include
thermal shutdown as well as open and short LED detection. The
device is programmable via the serial interface (SPI).
