The A8514 is a multi-output white LED driver for small-size LCD backlighting. It integrates a current-mode boost converter with internal power switch and four current sinks. The boost converter can drive up to 48 LEDs, 12 LEDs per string, at 80 mA. The LED sinks can be paralleled together to achieve even higher LED currents, up to 320 mA. The A8514 can operate with a single power supply, from 5 to 40 V, which allows the part to withstand load dump conditions encountered in automotive systems.
The A8514 can drive an external P-FET to disconnect the input supply from the system in the event of a fault. The A8514 provides protection against output short and overvoltage, open or shorted diode, open or shorted LED pin, shorted boost switch or inductor, shorted FSET or ISET resistor, and IC overtemperature. A dual level cycle-by-cycle current limit function provides soft start and protects the internal current switch against high current overloads.
The A8514 has a synchronization pin that allows PWM switching frequencies to be synchronized in the range of 580 kHz to 2.3 MHz. The high switching frequency allows the A8514 to operate above the AM radio band.
A8514主要特性和优势:
• Wide input voltage range of 5 to 40 V for start/stop, cold crank and load dump requirements
• Fully integrated LED current sinks and boost converter with 60 V DMOS
• Sync function to synchronize boost converter switching frequency up to 2.3 MHz, allowing operation above the AM band
• Excellent input voltage transient response
• Single resistor primary OVP minim...
