Light-Management IC with Efficient 1x/1.5x/2x
Charge Pump for Backlight/Flash/RGB LEDs
General Description
Features
The MAX1707 provides complete light management for
main display backlight, subdisplay backlight (or RGB
indicator), and white LED camera flash with regulated
constant current up to 610mA total. By utilizing adap-
tive 1x/1.5x/2x charge-pump modes and very-low-
dropout current regulators, it achieves high efficiency
over the full 1-cell Li+ battery input voltage range. The
1MHz fixed-frequency switching allows for tiny external
components while the regulation scheme is optimized
to ensure low EMI and low input ripple. An integrated
derating function protects the LEDs from overheating
during high ambient temperatures.
♦ Guaranteed 610mA Continuous Drive Capability
4 LEDs at 30mA Each for Main Display
3 LEDs at 30mA Each for Sub or RGB
400mA Total for Flash
♦ 2-Wire I2C Serial Port
5-Bit (32-Step) Linear Dimming
32k Colors
Ramp-Up/Down Rates
♦ 92% Peak/83% Avg Efficiency (P

LED BATT
♦ Adaptive 1x/1.5x/2x Mode Switchover
♦ 0.3% (typ) LED Current Accuracy and Matching
♦ Low Input Ripple and EMI
The MAX1707 features an internally trimmed reference
†
to set the maximum LED current. An I2C serial port is
used for on/off control and setting the LED currents in
32 linear steps. When using the RGB indicator, the I2C
port provides 32k colors and programmable ramp-
up/down rates. The camera flash may be turned on/off
by the I2C port or a separate digital logic input.
♦ Low 0.1µA Shutdown Current
♦ Output Overvoltage Protection
♦ Thermal Derating Function Protects LEDs
♦ 24-Pin 4mm x 4mm Thin QFN Package
