Datasheet

General Description
The MAX8647/MAX8648 drive up to six white LEDs or
two sets of RGB LEDs with regulated constant current
for display backlight and fun light applications. By utiliz-
ing an inverting charge pump and extremely low-
dropout adaptive current regulators, these ICs achieve
very high efficiency over the full 1-cell Li+ battery volt-
age range and even with large LED forward voltage
mismatch. The 1MHz fixed-frequency switching allows
for tiny external components. The regulation scheme is
optimized to ensure low EMI and low input ripple. The
MAX8647/MAX8648 include thermal shutdown, open-
and short-circuit protection.
The MAX8647 features an I
2
C serial port, while the
MAX8648 features a three-wire serial-pulse logic inter-
face. Both devices support independent on/off and
dimming for main and subbacklights. The dimming
ranges are pseudo-logarithmic from 24mA to 0.1mA
and off in 32 steps. Both devices include a temperature
derating function to safely allow bright 24mA full-scale
output current setting while automatically reducing cur-
rent to protect LEDs at high ambient temperatures
above +60°C.
The MAX8647/MAX8648 are available in a 16-pin, 3mm
x 3mm thin QFN package (0.8mm max height).
