Automotive 4-Channel, 130mA Backlight Driver MAX20444B 2 with Boost/SEPIC Controller and I C Interface General Description Benefits and Features The MAX20444B is a 4-channel backlight driver IC with Wide Voltage-Range Operation boost controller for automotive displays. The integrated Operates Down to 4V Supply After Startup current outputs can sink up to 130mA LED current each. Survives Load Dumps Up to 52V The device accepts a wide 4.5V to 36V input volt- High Integration age range and withstands direct automotive load-dump Complete 4-Channel Solution Including Boost events. Controller The internal current-mode switching DC-DC controller 2 I C Control for Minimum Parts Count supports boost or SEPIC topologies and operates in the Robust and Low EMI 400kHz to 2.2MHz frequency range. Integrated spread Spread-Spectrum Oscillator spectrum helps reduce EMI. An adaptive output-voltage- Phase Shifting control scheme minimizes power dissipation in the LED 400kHz to 2.2MHz Switching-Frequency Range current-sink paths. Fail-Safe Operation Mode Using the FSEN Pin 2 The device features I C-controlled pulse-width-modu- Versatile Dimming Scheme Allows Hybrid or lation (PWM) dimming and hybrid dimming. In either 2 case, the minimum pulse width is 500ns. Phase-shifted PWM-Only Dimming Using DIM Input or I C dimming of the strings is incorporated for lower EMI. Dimming Ratio > 10,000:1 Using Hybrid Dimming 10,000:1 Dimming Ratio at 200Hz Using PWM Comprehensive diagnostic information is also available Dimming 2 through the I C interface, while stand-alone operation is also supported. Complete Diagnostics LED Open/Short Detection and Protection The MAX20444B is available in a 24-pin TQFN or 24-pin Boost Output Undervoltage and Overvoltage side-wettable TQFN (SWTQFN) package and operates over the -40C to +125C temperature range.
