DESCRIPTION
The LM27965 is a highly integrated charge-pump-
based dual-display LED driver. The device can drive
up to 9 LEDs in parallel with a total output current of
180mA. Regulated internal current sinks deliver
excellent current and brightness matching in all LEDs.
The LED driver current sinks are split into three
independently controlled groups. The primary group
can beconfigurabled with 4 or 5 LEDs, for
backlighting a larger main display and the second
group can be configured with 2 or 3 LEDs, for
backlighing a smaller secondary display. An
additional, independently controlled led driver is
provided for driving an indicator or general purpose
LED. The LM27965 has an I2C compatible interface
that allows the user to independently control the
brightness on each bank of LEDs.
The device provides excellent efficiency without the
use of an inductor by operating the charge pump in a
gain of 3/2, or in Pass-Mode. The proper gain for
maintaining current regulation is chosen based on
LED forward voltage, so that efficiency is maximized
over the input voltage range.
The LM27965 is available in a small 24-pin WQFN-24
package.
