Share
ACTIVE

The Evaluation Board demonstrates the RT4539A device provides a highly integrated white LED driver solution for Notebook and Tablet LCD backlight. The device is a white-LED driver featuring a 36V high efficiency asynchronous boost converter and six 35mA high precision current sinks with a maximum of ±2% current mismatching for excellent brightness uniformity in each string of LEDs. The RT4539A has five dimming modes including DC mode, direct PWM mode, PWM-26k mode, mix mode and mix-26k mode that can be controlled by PWM signal or an I2C master, or both. In addition, the RT4539A has a wide input voltage operating range from 2.7V to 24V and contains I2C interface for controlling the dimming mode, operating frequency, LED current slope time and the LED current. It is suitable for single/two cell battery input to drive LED light bars which contain six strings in parallel.

RT4539A

RT4539A 是高效率的 LED 驅動器,適用於 1-2 節鋰離子電池供電驅動 6 串 LED 並行連接的應用,其採用的內部電流吸入電路可達到最大 ±2% 電流一致性誤差,使各串 LED 之間的亮度保持最大程度的一致性。為了給電流吸入電路留出足夠的活動空間,Boost 轉換器對各個回饋引腳進行電壓監測並確保其最低值的穩定,因而可以獲得最佳的轉換效率。
RT4539A 有寬達 2.7V-24V 的可用輸入電壓範圍,通過其自帶的 I2C 介面可對其調光模式、工作頻率和 LED 電流進行調節。它所使用的導通阻抗為 250mΩ、耐壓 36V 的功率開關和電流模式控制架構具有過流保護功能,工作頻率可在 300kHz-1.6MHz 間進行調節,容許在轉換效率和元件尺寸間進行折中處理。
RT4539A 使用 WL-CSP-20B 1.71x2.371 (BSC) 和 WQFN-24L 4x4 封裝供貨。
