SC441D
High Efficiency Integrated Driver for
4-Strings of 150mA LEDs
POWER MANAGEMENT
Features
Description
The SC44ꢀD is a high-efficiency multiple string WLED driv-
er with an integrated boost converter. It operates over a
wide input range from 4.5V to 27V with a maximum out-
put voltage of 42V and a 3.0A internal power switch. It
can drive up to forty WLEDs in 4 strings with current up
to ꢀ50mA per string. The string-to-string current match-
ing is 2% typical, 3% maximum. The overall efficiency is
greater than 90% due to the low current sense voltage
and a low-impedance internal power switch. The wide
PWM dimming range boasts a ratio of 500: ꢀ.
Wide input voltage range from 4.5V to 27V
42V maximum output voltage
Drives up to 40 WLEDs in 4 strings
Programmable LED current for up to 150mA per
string
+/- 2% string-to-string current matching
Up to 90% efficiency
Wide 0.2% to ꢀ00% PWM dimming range
Possible analog dimming
Integrated 3.0A power switch
700KHz switching frequency for small size
Adjustable OVP for cost-effective output cap selection
Open/short LED protection
The 700KHz switching frequency enables the user to op-
timize the external component sizes for efficiency. When
there are fewer than ꢀ0 LEDs in each string, users can ad-
just the output voltage protection yielding an allowable
reduction in associated costs, size and voltage ratings of
the output capacitor.
Short LED protection disable
Thermal protection with auto-recovery
Thermally enhanced TSSOP-20 EDP package
Lead-free, Halogen-Free and WeEE/RoHS Compliant
The SC44ꢀD also features comprehensive open and
short-circuit LED protection functions. It disables the cor-
responding strings with LED open or LED short conditions
while maintaining normal operation of other, unaffected
LED strings. This feature allows LCD panels to remain view-
able even under LED failure, wire disconnect, or short-cir-
cuit conditions. The internal thermal shutdown protects
the IC from overheating at abnormal conditions.
Applications
Medium-sized LCD panel
Notebook Display
Automotive Car Navigation Display
Sub-Notebook and Tablet Computer Displays
Portable Media Players
The SC44ꢀD is available in a thermally-enhanced TSSOP-
20 EDP package.
