FAN5776
Synchronous Boost and Series / Parallel 10-LED Driver
Features
Description
The FAN5776 is a synchronous, constant-current LED driver
capable of efficiently driving up to ten LEDs in a five-string,
two-series LEDs per string configuration. Optimized for small
form-factor applications, the 1.8 MHz switching frequency
allows the use of tiny chip inductors and capacitors.
. Synchronous Current-Mode Boost Converter
. Drives up to 10 LEDs at 25 mA Each in a Configuration of
5 Strings of 2 LEDs in Series
. 5 LED Outputs: High-Side Current Sources
For safety, the device features integrated over-voltage, short-
circuit, and thermal shutdown protections. In addition, input
under-voltage lockout protection is triggered if the battery
voltage is too low.
. Two Default Groups of 3x2-LED Channels and 2x2-LED
Channels with Individual Enable and PWM Dimming
Control to Support Various Lighting Applications, such as:
o Backlighting of Dual-LCD Displays, LCD Display Plus
Keypad Illumination
The FAN5776 is comprised of low-dropout, high-side current
sources, enabling a high efficiency delivery of power from the
battery to the LEDs. The LED current control is established
with a series RSET resistor, which is connected between the
internal voltage reference on the chip and ground.
. Boost PFM Mode Maximizes Efficiency Under Light Loads
. 2.3 V to 5.5 V Input Voltage Range
. 1.8 MHz Switching Frequency
During operation, FAN5776 holds the boost regulator’s voltage
on COUT during the off cycle of the PWM dimming, which helps
minimize audible noise.
. Input Under-Voltage Lockout (UVLO)
. Output Over-Voltage Protection (OVP)
. Short-Circuit and Thermal Shutdown (TSD) Protection
. 12-Bump, 0.4 mm Pitch, 1.42 x 1.66 x 0.50 mm WLCSP
Applications
The FAN5776 is available in a very low profile, small-form-
factors 1.42 x 1.66 x 0.50 mm, 12-bump WLCSP package that
is “green” and RoHS compliant.
. Mid-and Large-Size LCD Modules
. Cellular Mobile Handsets, Smart Phones
. Smartbooks, Netbooks, MIDs
. Pocket PCs
. WLAN DC-DC Converter Modules
. PDA, DSC, PMP, and MP3 Players
