High-Performance Negative Charge Pump
for 6 White LEDs in 3mm x 3mm Thin QFN
General Description
Features
The MAX8847Y/MAX8847Z negative charge pumps
drive up to 6 white LEDs with regulated constant current
for display backlight applications. By utilizing an invert-
ing charge pump and extremely low-dropout adaptive
current regulators, these ICs achieve very high efficiency
over the full 1-cell Li+ battery voltage range even with
large LED forward voltage mismatch. The 1MHz fixed-
frequency switching allows for tiny external components.
The regulation scheme is optimized to ensure low EMI
and low input ripple. The MAX8847Y/MAX8847Z include
thermal shutdown, open- and short-circuit protection.

The MAX8847Y/MAX8847Z support independent LED
on/off and dimming control. The MAX8847Z has PWM
dimming control for LED1–LED6. The MAX8847Y has
PWM dimming control for LED1–LED4 and serial-pulse
dimming control for LED5 and LED6. The serial-pulse
dimming ranges are pseudo-logarithmic from 24mA to
0.1mA and off in 32 steps. All devices include a tempera-
ture derating function to safely allow bright 24mA full-
scale output current while automatically reducing current
gradually to protect LEDs at high ambient temperatures
above +60°C.
