MAX16814
EVALUATION KIT AVAILABLE
Integrated, 4-Channel, High-Brightness LED
Driver with High-Voltage DC-DC Controller
General Description
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 provides
the necessary voltage to multiple strings of HB LEDs.
The MAX16814 accepts a wide 4.75V to 40V input volt-
age range and withstands direct automotive load-dump
events. The wide input range allows powering HB LEDs
for small to medium-sized LCD displays in automotive
and general lighting applications.
An internal current-mode switching DC-DC control-
ler supports the boost, coupled-inductor boost-buck,
or SEPIC topologies and operates in an adjustable
frequency range between 200kHz and 2MHz. It can
also be used for single-inductor boost-buck topology in
conjunction with the MAX15054 and an additional
MOSFET. The current-mode control with programma-
ble slope compensation provides fast response and
simplifies loop compensation. The MAX16814 also fea-
tures 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 output overvoltage, open-
LED detection and protection, programmable shorted-
LED detection and protection, and overtemperature
protection. The device operates over the -40NC to
+125NC automotive temperature range. The MAX16814 is
available in 6.5mm x 4.4mm, 20-pin TSSOP, 4mm x 4mm,
20-pin TQFN and QFND packages.
