MAX25024
Automotive Low Input Voltage I C 4-Channel
150mA Backlight Driver supporting ASIL B
General Description
Benefits and Features
The MAX25024 is a 4-channel backlight driver IC with
boost controller for automotive displays. The integrated
current outputs can sink up to 150mA LED current each.
The device accepts a wide 2.5V to 36V input voltage
range and withstands automotive load-dump events.
● Wide Voltage-Range Operation
• Operates Down to 2.5V Supply After Startup
• Survives Load Dumps Up to 40V
● 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.

• Phase Shifting
• 400kHz to 2.2MHz Switching-Frequency Range
• nMOS Input Protection Switch
Control is included for an external nMOSFET series switch
to reduce quiescent current when the backlight is off and
to disconnect the boost converter in the case of a fault.

the minimum pulse width is 500ns. Phase-shifted dimming
of the strings is incorporated for lower EMI.
