Charge Pump Driver for LCD
White LED Backlights
ADM8845
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
Drives 6 LEDs from 2.6 V to 5.5 V (Li-Ion) input supply
1×/1.5×/2× fractional charge pump to maximize power
efficiency
The ADM8845 uses charge pump technology to provide the
power required to drive up to six LEDs. The LEDs are used for
backlighting a color LCD display, having regulated constant
current for uniform brightness intensity. The main display can
have up to four LEDs, and the sub display can have one or two
LEDs. The digital CTRL1 and CTRL2 input control pins control
the shutdown operation and the brightness of the main and sub
displays.
1% max LED current matching
Up to 88% power efficiency over Li-Ion range
Powers main and sub display LEDs with individual shutdown
Package footprint only 9 mm2 (3 mm × 3 mm)
Package height only 0.9 mm
Low power shutdown mode
To maximize power efficiency, the charge pump can operate in
either a 1×, 1.5×, or 2× mode. The charge pump automatically
switches between 1×/1.5×/2× modes based, on the input voltage,
to maintain sufficient drive for the LED anodes at the highest
power efficiency.
Shutdown function
Soft-start limiting in-rush current
APPLICATIONS
Cellular phones with main and sub displays
White LED backlighting
Camera flash/strobes and movie lights
Micro TFT color displays
DSC
Improved brightness matching of the LEDs is achieved by a
feedback pin to sense individual LED current with a maximum
matching accuracy of 1%.
