RT8555
36V High Efficiency Boost Converter with I2C Controlled
6-CH LED Driver
General Description
Features
Wide Operating Input Voltage : 2.7V to 24V
High Output Voltage : Up to 36V
Programmable Channel Current : 10mA to 35mA
Channel Current Regulation with Accuracy 3%
and Matching 2%
The RT8555 is a high efficiency driver for white LEDs. It is
suitable for single/two cell battery input to drive LED light
bars which contains six strings in parallel and up to
10 WLEDs per string. The internal current sinks support
a maximum of 2% current mismatching for excellent
brightness uniformity in each string of LEDs. To provide
enough headroom for current sink operation, the Boost
controller monitors the minimum voltage of the feedback
pins and regulates an optimized output voltage for power
efficiency.
Dimming Controls
Direct PWM Dimming up to 20kHz and Minimum
On-Time to 400ns
PWM to Analog Dimming up to 20kHz with 8-bit
Resolution
I2C Programs LED Current, Switching Frequency,
The RT8555 has a wide input voltage operating range from
2.7V to 24V and contains I2C interface for controlling the
dimming mode, operating frequency and the LEDcurrent.
The internal 100mΩ, 36V power switch with current-mode
control provides over-current protection. The switching
frequency of the RT8555 is adjustable from 300kHz to
2MHz, which allows flexibility between efficiency and
component size.
