3 Description
The LP8555 is a high efficiency LED driver with
integrated dual DC-DC boost converters. It has 12
high-precision current sinks that can be controlled by
a PWM input signal, an I2C master, or both.
Dual-boost configuration of LP8555 shares the load
to two inductors and allows thinner overall solution
size and better efficiency compared to single-boost
solutions. 12 LED strings allows driving high number
of LEDs with optimal efficiency since boost
conversion ratio can be kept low.
The boost converter has adaptive output voltage
control based on the LED current sink headroom
voltages. This feature minimizes the power
consumption by adjusting the voltage to lowest
sufficient level in all conditions.
The LED string auto-detect function enables use of
the same device in systems with 2 to 12 LED strings
for the maximum design flexibility. Proprietary Hybrid
PWM and Current dimming mode enables additional
system power savings. Phase-shift PWM allows
reduced audible noise and smaller boost output
capacitors. Flexible CABC support combines
brightness level selections based on the PWM input
and I2C commands.
