EVALUATION KIT AVAILABLE
MAX16814
Integrated, 4-Channel, High-Brightness LED
Driver with High-Voltage DC-DC Controller
General Description
Features
The MAX16814 high-efficiency, high-brightness LED (HB
LED) driver provides up to four integrated LED current-
sink channels. An integrated current-mode switching
DC-DC controller drives a DC-DC converter that pro-
vides the necessary voltage to multiple strings of HB
LEDs. The MAX16814 accepts a wide 4.75V to 40V input
voltage range and withstands direct automotive load-
dump events. The wide input range allows powering HB
LEDs for small to medium-sized LCD displays in automo-
tive and general lighting applications.
An internal current-mode switching DC-DC controller
supports the boost, coupled-inductor boost-buck, or
SEPIC topologies and operates in an adjustable fre-
quency range between 200kHz and 2MHz. It can also be
used for single-inductor boost-buck topology in conjunc-
tion with the MAX15054 and an additional MOSFET. The
current-mode control with programmable slope com-
pensation provides fast response and simplifies loop
compensation. The MAX16814 also features an adaptive
output-voltage control scheme that minimizes the power
dissipation in the LED current-sink paths.
The MAX16814 consists of four identical linear current
source channels to drive four strings of HB LEDs. The
channel current is adjustable from 20mA to 150mA with
an accuracy of ±3% using an external resistor. The
external resistor sets all 4-channel currents to the same
value. The device allows connecting multiple channels
in parallel to achieve higher current per LED string. The
MAX16814 also features pulsed dimming control, on all
four channels through a logic input (DIM). In addition,the
MAX16814A_ _ and MAX16814U_ _ include a unique
feature that allows a very short minimum pulse width as
low as 1µs.
The MAX16814 includes an output overvoltage, open-
LED detection and protection, programmable shorted
LED detection and protection, and overtemperature pro-
tection. The device operates over the -40NC to +125NC
automotive temperature range. The MAX16814 is avail-
able in 6.5mm x 4.4mm, 20-pin TSSOP, 4mm x 4mm,
20-pin TQFN and QFND packages.
