Automotive 4-Channel, 130mA Backlight Driver
with Boost/SEPIC Controller and I2C Interface
MAX20444C
General Description
Benefits and Features
● Wide Voltage-Range Operation
The MAX20444C is a 4-channel backlight driver IC with
boost controller for automotive displays. The integrated
current outputs can sink up to 130mA LED current each.
The device accepts a wide 4.5V to 36V input volt-
age range and withstands direct automotive load-dump
events.
• Operates Down to 4V Supply After Startup
• Survives Load Dumps Up to 52V
● High Integration
• Complete 4-Channel Solution Including Boost
Controller
The internal current-mode switching DC-DC controller
supports boost or SEPIC topologies and operates in the
400kHz to 2.2MHz frequency range. Integrated spread
spectrum helps reduce EMI. An adaptive output-voltage-
control scheme minimizes power dissipation in the LED
current-sink paths.

• I C Control for Minimum Parts Count
● Robust and Low EMI
• Spread-Spectrum Oscillator
• Phase Shifting
• 400kHz to 2.2MHz Switching-Frequency Range
• Fail-Safe Operation Mode Using the FSEN Pin

The device features I C-controlled pulse-width-modu-
● Versatile Dimming Scheme Allows Hybrid or
lation (PWM) dimming and hybrid dimming. In either
case, the minimum pulse width is 500ns. Phase-shifted
dimming of the strings is incorporated for lower EMI.

PWM-Only Dimming Using DIM Input or I C
• Dimming Ratio > 10,000:1 Using Hybrid Dimming
• 10,000:1 Dimming Ratio at 200Hz Using PWM
Dimming
Comprehensive diagnostic information is also available

through the I C interface, while stand-alone operation is
also supported.
● Complete Diagnostics
• LED Open/Short Detection and Protection
• Boost Output Undervoltage and Overvoltage
• Boost-Voltage Measurement
• LED-Current Measurement
The MAX20444C is available in a 24-pin TQFN or 24-pin
side-wettable TQFN (SWTQFN) package and operates
over the -40°C to +125°C temperature range.
Applications
