A8530
Ultracompact 6-Channel Backlight
and Flash/Torch White LED Driver
Features and Benefits
Description
▪ Proprietary adaptive control scheme (1×, 1.5×, 2×)
▪ 0.5% typical LED current matching
The A8530 high efficiency charge pump ICs offer a simple,
low-cost white LED driver solution for driving four display
backlight and two flash/torch/video mode white LEDs. Using
a proprietary control scheme (1×, 1.5×, and 2×), the A8530
can deliver well-matched LED current while maintaining the
highest efficiency and low EMI. The LED current is regulated
over the entire range of Li+ battery voltage to provide uniform
intensity.
▪ 2 separate serial interfaces for dimming control
▪ Drives up to 6 white LEDs (4 display backlight, 2 flash/torch)
▪ 30 mA per LED channel for display backlight
▪ 100 mA per LED channel for flash/torch backlight
▪ 320 mA total output current capability
▪ Low EMI design and soft-start function
▪ Short circuit, overvoltage, thermal shutdown protection
▪ 0.75 mm very thin profile, 3 mm × 3 mm package
LED brightness and on/off can be controlled for 4 display
backlight LEDs and 2 flash/torch LEDs through 2 single-wire
serial interface pins.
TheA8530 is available in a very thin profile (0.75 mm nominal
height) 3mm×3mm QFN/MLP16 pin package. Applications
include:
Package: 16 pin QFN/MLP (suffix ES)
