High Efficiency 8-Channel LED Driver with
I2C Interface and Phase-Shifted PWM Dimming
POWER MANAGEMENT
Features
Description
VIN Range — 4.5V to 27V, VOUT Range — Up to 50V
Step-up (Boost) Controller
The SC5010 is an 8-channel high-precision, high-efficiency
step-up (Boost) LED driver for backlight applications. It fea-
tures wide input voltage range (4.5V to 27V) , flexible output
configuration, wide analog and PWM dimming range,
phase shifting and fading. It also features video signal syn-
chronization (VSYNC), I2C interface, and numerous protec-
tion features. An optional disconnect p-MOSFET provides
true load disconnection and inrush current limiting.
Excellent Transient Response
Programmable Switching Frequency
Linear Current Sinks
8 Strings, up to 30mA/String
Current Matching 1ꢀ
Current Accuracy 1.5ꢀ
PWM Dimming
String-by-String Phase Shifting
Input Dimming Frequency 100Hz-30kHz
User Selectable 9 or 10 Bits Dimming Resolution
Optional Synchronization to VSYNC/HSYNC Signal
The boost controller, with programmable switching fre-
quency from 200kHz to 2.2MHz, maximizes efficiency by
dynamically minimizing the output voltage while maintain-
ing LED string current accuracy. It provides excellent line
and load response with no external compensation compo-
nents. Each linear current sink is matched within 1ꢀ for
superb lighting uniformity, and the accuracy of each string
current is 1.5ꢀ. An external resistor adjusts the current
from 10-30mA per string. It also features PWM dimming
resolution of 9 or 10 bits (user selectable) over dimming
frequency from 100Hz to 20kHz, synchronized to the SYNC
signal or the boost oscillator. String-by-string phase shifting
reduces the demand on the input/output capacitance,
decreases EMI, and improves dimming linearity.
