A8507
LED Backlight Driver for LCD Monitors and Televisions
Features and Benefits
Description
▪ Fixed frequency current mode control with integrated
gate driver
The A8507 is a multi-output WLED/RGB driver for
backlighting LCD monitors and televisions. The A8507
integrates a boost controller to drive external MOSFET and
six internal current-sinks. The boost converter is constant
frequency current mode converter.
▪ Each individual current sink is capable of 80 mA
▪ Adjustable overvoltage protection (OVP)
▪ Active current sharing between LED strings for ±0.6%
accuracy and matching
▪ 250 kHz to 1 MHz adjustable switching frequency
▪ Open or shorted LED string protection
▪ Overtemperature, cycle-by-cycle current limit, and
undervoltage protection
PWM dimming allows LED currents to be controlled in 500:1
ratio. The LED sinks are capable of sinking up to 80 mA
each, and can be paralleled together to achieve even higher
currents.
▪ No audible MLCC noise during PWM dimming
▪ No pull-up resistors required for LED modules that use
ESD capacitors
▪ SOIC 24-pin package for easy single-side PCB
manufacturing or TSSOP 24-pin package with exposed
thermal pad for better thermal performance
The A8507 provides protection against overvoltage, open or
shorted LED string, and overtemperature. A dual level cycle-
by-cycle current limit function provides soft start and protects
against overloads.
The device is provided in a 24-pin SOICWpackage (LB), with
internally fused pins for enhanced thermal dissipation, and a
24-pin TSSOP package (LP), with an exposed thermal pad
for enhanced thermal dissipation. Both packages are lead (Pb)
free, with 100% matte tin leadframe plating.
