Description

The MAX8848Y/MAX8848Z negative charge pumps drive up to 7 white LEDs with regulated constant current for display backlight applications. By utilizing an inverting charge pump and extremely low-dropout adaptive current regulators, these ICs achieve very high efficiency over the full 1-cell Li+ battery voltage range even with large LED forward voltage mismatch. The 1MHz fixed-frequency switching allows for tiny external components. The regulation scheme is optimized to ensure low EMI and low input ripple. The MAX8848Y/MAX8848Z include thermal shutdown, open- and short-circuit protection.

The MAX8848Y/MAX8848Z support independent LED on/off and dimming control. The MAX8848Y dimming ranges are pseudo-logarithmic from 24mA to 0.1mA and off in 32 steps. All devices include a temperature derating function to safely allow bright 24mA full-scale output current while automatically reducing current gradually to protect LEDs at high ambient temperatures above +60°C.

The MAX8848Y/MAX8848Z are available in 16-pin, 3mm x 3mm thin QFN packages.
