SGM37604A
High Efficiency 4-String White LED Driver
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
● 12-Bit Resolution for Dimming Control
● Up to 90% Boost Efficiency
● Switching Frequency: 1.2MHz
● Support 1 to 4 LED Strings in Parallel at Maximum
29.5V Output
The SGM37604A is a high efficiency 4-string white LED
driver with a 1.2MHz boost converter. The supply
voltage operates from 3V to 24V. The SGM37604A is
capable of driving up to 8 LEDs in series for 40mA
maximum LED current per string while achieving high
conversion efficiency. An adaptively current-regulated
method allows different LED string voltages while LED
current remains in regulation. The LED current is
programmed through an I2C interface or a PWM signal
input. These features make it optimized for compact
solutions and ideal for LCD display backlighting.
● 11% LED Current Matching across Process,
Voltage and Temperature at ILED = 12.21μA
● 1% LED Current Matching across Process,
Voltage and Temperature at ILED = 25mA
● 11% LED Current Accuracy across Process,
Voltage and Temperature at ILED = 12.21μA
● 3% LED Current Accuracy across Process,
Voltage and Temperature at ILED = 25mA
● PWM Dimming Interface
The SGM37604A is available in Green WLCSP-
1.78×1.36-12B and TDFN-3×3-12L packages. It
operates over the -40℃ to +85℃ temperature range.
