CAT4106
6 W Quad Channel DC/DC
LED Driver with Diagnostics
Description
The CAT4106 is an integrated multi−channel LED driver and high
power DC/DC converter suitable for powering backlighting
applications up to a total of 6 watts. Up to four matched LED strings
can be accurately programmed with uniform drive current set by a
single external resistor. Each output channel is suitable for LED string
voltages of up to 36 V. The driver automatically adjusts the output
voltage to drive the highest forward voltage string with the minimum
headroom voltage maximizing the efficiency.
High resolution dimming control is achieved by the EN/PWM logic
pin which supports multiple frequencies. This ensures precise PWM
dimming control while the device remains fully biased. In addition,
when held at logic low, the device to enter a full shutdown “zero”
current mode.

External programming resistors set the minimum and maximum
voltage limits for the acceptable “window of operation” for LED
strings. Any channel which fails to regulate within the window (Open
or Short LED) is detected and flagged on the FAULT logic output
(active low, open−drain).
