10 Channel LED Backlight Driver
with Integrated Power Supply
The 34844 is a high efficiency, LED driver for use in backlighting
LCD displays from 10" to 20"+. Operating from supplies of 7V to 28V,
the 34844 is capable of driving up to 160 LEDs in 10 parallel strings.
Current in the 10 strings is matched to within
±2%,
and can be
programmed via the I
2
C/SM-Bus interface.
The 34844 also includes a Pulse Width Monitor (PWM) generator
for LED dimming. The LEDs can be dimmed to one of 256 levels,
programmed through the I
2
C/SM-Bus interface. Up to 65,000:1 (256:1
PWM, 256:1 Current DAC) dimming ratio.
The integrated boost converter generates the minimum output
voltage required to keep all LEDs illuminated with the selected current,
providing the highest efficiency possible. The integrated boost self-
clocks at a default frequency of 600kHz, but may be programmed via
I
2
C to 150/300/600/1200 kHz. The PWM frequency can be set from
100Hz to 25kHz, or can be synchronized to an external input. If not
synchronized to another source, the internal PWM rate outputs on the
CK pin. This enables multiple devices to be synchronized together.
The 34844 also supports optical/temperature closed loop operation
and also features LED over-temperature protection, LED short
protection, and LED open circuit protection. The IC also includes over-
voltage protection, over-current protection, and under-voltage lockout.
