The SC446 is a high-efficiency multiple string WLED driver
with an integrated boost converter. It operates over a
wide input range from 4.5V to 27V with a maximum out-
put voltage of 36V and a 2.5A internal power switch. It
can drive up to thirty WLEDs in 3 strings with current up
to 100mA per string. The string-to-string current match-
ing is 2% typical, 3% maximum. The overall efficiency is
greater than 90% due to the low current sense voltage
and a low-impedance internal power switch. The wide
PWM dimming range boasts a ratio of 500: 1.
The 700kHz switching frequency enables the user to op-
timize the external component sizes for efficiency. When
there are fewer than 10 LEDs in each string, users can ad-
just the output voltage protection yielding an allowable
reduction in associated costs, size and voltage ratings of
the output capacitor.
Applications
ÂÂ Medium-sized LCD panel
ÂÂ Notebook Display
ÂÂ Automotive Car Navigation Display
ÂÂ Sub-Notebook and Tablet Computer Displays
ÂÂ Portable Media Players
The SC446 also features comprehensive open and short-
circuit LED protection functions. It disables the corre-
sponding strings with LED open or LED short conditions
while maintaining normal operation of other, unaffected
LED strings. This feature allows LCD panels to remain
viewable even under LED failure, wire disconnect, or
short-circuit conditions. The internal thermal shutdown
protects the IC from overheating at abnormal conditions.
The SC446 is available in a thermally-enhanced TSSOP-16
EDP package.
