3 Description
The LP8557 and LP8557I are high-efficiency LED
drivers each featuring an integrated DC-DC inductive
boost converter and six high-precision current sinks.
LP8557 is intended for applications that exclusively
use a pulse width modulated (PWM) signal for
controlling the brightness while LP8557I is intended
for applications that can utilize an I²C master as well.
The boost converter has adaptive output voltage
control. This feature minimizes the power
consumption by adjusting the voltage to the lowest
sufficient level under all conditions.
The adaptive current sink headroom voltage control
scales the headroom voltage with the LED current for
optimal system efficiency.
The LED string auto-detect function enables use of
the same device in systems with 1 to 6 LED strings
for the maximum design flexibility.
Proprietary hybrid PWM plus current mode dimming
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.
