General
The ADD5207 is a white LED driver for backlight applications
based on high efficiency, current mode, step-up converter tech-
nology. It is designed with a 0.15 Ω, 1.5 A internal switch and a
pin-adjustable operating frequency between 600 kHz and 1 MHz.
The ADD5207 contains four regulated current sources for
uniform LED brightness. Each current source can drive up to
25 mA and the LED-driving current is pin adjustable by an
external resistor. The ADD5207 drives up to four parallel
strings of multiple series-connected LEDs with a 1.5% current
matching between strings.
The ADD5207 provides phase shift PWM brightness control
methods. LED dimming control is achieved through the PWM
input. The device includes an 8 kHz LED-dimming oscillator
for driving each current source. The ADD5207 operates over an
input voltage range of 6 V to 21 V, but the device can function
with a voltage as low as 5.6 V.
The ADD5207 also has multiple safety protection features to
prevent damage during fault conditions. If any LED is open, the
device automatically disables the faulty current source. The
internal soft start circuit prevents a high inrush current during
startup. Thermal shutdown protection prevents thermal damage.
