High Efficiency Integrated Driver for
4-Strings of 150mA LEDs
Description
ÂÂ Wide input voltage range from 4.5V to 21V
The SC441 is a high-efficiency multiple string WLED driver
ÂÂ 36V maximum output voltage
with an integrated boost converter. It operates over a
ÂÂ Drives up to 40 WLEDs in 4 strings
ÂÂ Programmable LED current for up to 150mA per
string
ÂÂ +/- 2% string-to-string current matching
ÂÂ Up to 90% efficiency
ÂÂ Wide 0.2% to 100% PWM dimming range
ÂÂ Possible analog dimming
ÂÂ Integrated 2.5A power switch
wide input range from 4.5V to 21V with a maximum out-
put voltage of 36V and a 2.5A internal power switch. It
can drive up to forty WLEDs in 4 strings with current up
to 150mA 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.

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.
The SC441 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 view-
able even under LED failure, wire disconnect, or short-cir-
cuit conditions. The internal thermal shutdown protects
the IC from overheating at abnormal conditions.
The SC441 is available in a thermally-enhanced TSSOP-20
EDP package.
