FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The TPS61187 IC provides a highly integrated WLED
driver solution for notebook LCD backlight. This
device has a built-in high efficiency boost regulator
with integrated 2.0A /40V power MOSFET. The six
current sink regulators provide high precision current
regulation and matching. In total, the device can
support up to 60 WLEDs. In addition, the boost output
automatically adjusts its voltage to the WLED forward
voltage to optimize efficiency.

The TPS61187 supports the auto phase shift
dimming method and direct PWM dimming method.
During phase shift PWM dimming, the WLED current
is turned on/off at the duty cycle controlled by the
input PWM signal and each channel is shifted
according to the frequency determined by an
integrated pulse width modulation (PWM) signal. The
frequency of this signal is resistor programmable,
while the duty cycle is controlled directly from an
external PWM signal input to the PWM pin. During
direct PWM dimming, the WLED current is turned
on/off synchronized with the input PWM signal.
