Datasheet

General Description
The MAX16807 is an integrated, high-efficiency white or
RGB LED driver. It is designed for LCD backlighting and
other LED lighting applications with multiple strings of LEDs.
The MAX16807 current-mode PWM controller regulates the
necessary voltage to the LED array. Depending on the input
voltage and LED voltage range, it can be used with boost
or buck-boost (SEPIC) topologies. The MAX16807 features
an 8V to 26.5V input voltage range. A wide range of adjust-
able frequency (20kHz to 1MHz) allows design optimization
for efficiency and minimum board space.
The MAX16807 LED driver includes eight open-drain,
constant-current-sinking LED driver outputs rated for
36V continuous operation. The LED current-control
circuitry achieves ±3% current matching among strings
and enables paralleling of outputs for LED string
currents higher than 55mA. The output-enable pin is used
for simultaneous PWM dimming of all output channels.
Dimming frequency range is 50Hz to 30kHz and dimming
ratio is up to 5000:1. The constant-current outputs are
single resistor programmable and the LED current can be
adjusted up to 55mA per output channel.
The MAX16807 operates either in stand-alone mode or
with a microcontroller (μC) using an industry-standard,
4-wire serial interface.
The MAX16807 includes overtemperature protection,
operates over the full -40°C to +125°C temperature
range, and is available in a thermally enhanced, 28-pin
TSSOP exposed pad package.
