SNVS857 –FEBRUARY 2014
LP8555 High-Efficiency LED Backlight Driver for Tablet PCs
1 Features
3 Description
The LP8555 is a high efficiency LED driver with
integrated dual DC-DC boost converters. It has 12
high-precision current sinks that can be controlled by
a PWM input signal, an I2C master, or both.

Dual High-Efficiency DC/DC Boost Converters
2.7-V to 20-V VDD Range
12 50-mA High-Precision LED Current Sinks With
12-Bit Brightness Control
Dual-boost configuration of LP8555 shares the load
to two inductors and allows thinner overall solution
size and better efficiency compared to single-boost
solutions. 12 LED strings allows driving high number
of LEDs with optimal efficiency since boost
conversion ratio can be kept low.

Adaptive LED Current Sink Headroom Controls for
Maximum System Efficiency

•
LED String Count Auto-Detection
Phase-Shifted PWM Mode for Reduced Audible
Noise
The boost converter has adaptive output voltage
control based on the LED current sink headroom
voltages. This feature minimizes the power
consumption by adjusting the voltage to lowest
sufficient level in all conditions.

Hybrid PWM and Current Dimming for Higher LED
Drive Optical Efficiency

Flexible CABC Support
EPROM, I2C-Register, or External Resistors for
Configuration
The LED string auto-detect function enables use of
the same device in systems with 2 to 12 LED strings
for the maximum design flexibility. Proprietary Hybrid
PWM and Current dimming mode enables additional
system power savings. Phase-shift PWM allows
reduced audible noise and smaller boost output
capacitors. Flexible CABC support combines
brightness level selections based on the PWM input
and I2C commands.
