iW7027
16-Channel LED Driver for
LCD Panel Backlighting
1.0 Features
2.0 Description
The iW7027 is a versatile, 16-channel, high precision LED
backlight driver for medium to large size LCD display panels.
● 16ch LED driver with external power MOSFET, with 5V
and 9-16V(Typ=12V) input supply voltage range
● Patented BroadLED™ adaptive switch mode
technology for high current matching at maximum
efficiency
The LED current sink MOSFETs are external, allowing
maximum flexibility for different current and voltage
configurations. Built-in safety features include over-
temperature shutdown, open and short LED detection.

Channel Current matching accuracy ±3%
Enables use of cheaper, loosely binned LED arrays
for lower BOM cost
High Speed SPI daisy-chain interface simplifies the system
design when multiple IW7027s are used to support more
than 16 LED strings.
● Dynamic external Boost or Buck controller interface to
optimize system power efficiency
Scan mode provide flexible PWM mode to reduce motion
blur.

Dual interface controls one or two DC-DC converters
Programmable LED channel assignment for individual
DC-DC converters
Internal PLL simplifies the system requirement with only
Vsync signal needed.
● High speed SPI interface and SPI daisy-chain support
● PWM-generator clock
It uses Dialog’s patented 2-pin sensing technology to realize
LED short detection.
