White LED Backlight Driver integrates direct PWM dimming.

Press Release Summary:



Capable of driving 4 LED strings or up to 44 LEDs at 120 mA total LED current, AAT1405 is optimized for notebook PCs, monitors, and portable TVs. PWM frequency of 100 kHz ensures silent operation, and soft-start minimizes inrush current. Operating from -40 to +85°C, IC has 4.5-26 Vdc input range and exhibits up to 92% efficiency. Other features include boost converter and up to 4 LED current sinks (30 mA each). Current limit, over-voltage, and over-temperature protections are standard.
