36V High-Efficiency Boost Converter with I²C Controlled 6-Channel LED Driver

The RT4540A is a high-efficiency driver for white LEDs. It is suitable for single/two cell battery input to drive LED light bars which contain six strings in parallel. The internal current sinks support a maximum of ±2% current mismatching for excellent brightness uniformity in each string of LEDs. To provide enough headroom for current sink operation, the boost controller monitors the minimum voltage of the feedback pins and regulates an optimized output voltage for power efficiency.The RT4540A contains I²C interface for controlling the dimming mode, operating frequency and the LED current. The internal 250mΩ, 36V power switch with current-mode control provides overcurrent protection.The switching frequency of the RT4540A is also adjustable from 100kHz to 1.6MHz, which allows flexibility between efficiency and component size. The RT4540A is available in a WQFN3x3-24 with pitch 0.4mm package. The recommended junction temperature range is −40°C to 150°C, and the ambient temperature range is −40°C to 125°C.
