LED7707 Monolithic DC/DC Converter for LED Driving
The new LED7707 is a monolithic DC/DC converter for LED driving specifically designed for LCD
backlighting and general lighting. It consists of a highly-efficient boost converter integrating a power
MOSFET and six controlled-current generators (ROWs). The device can manage an output voltage up
to 36V (example is 10 white LEDs x row). The boost section is based on a constant switching
frequency, peak current-mode architecture. The boost output voltage is controlled so that the lowest
voltage of the ROW, referred to SGND, is equal to an internal reference voltage (700 mV typical). The
input voltage range is from 4.5V up to 36V. In addition, the LED7707 has an internal 5V LDO regulator
that supplies the internal circuitry of the device and is capable of delivering up to 40 mA. The input of
the LDO is the main input voltage (VBATT). The boost section switching frequency can be externally
adjusted from 200 kHz to 1 MHz. It also has an internal fixed value of 660 kHz (typical), which eliminates
the need for a resistor, an important feature in minimum component-count applications. The frequency
pin (FSW) can also be used as the synchronization input, allowing the LED7707 to operate both as the
master or the slave. The generators can be externally programmed to sink from 16 mA up to 85 mA and
can be dimmed via a PWM signal (1 percent dimming duty-cycle at 1 kHz can be managed). For high-
current LEDs, it is possible to parallel the outputs to get the maximum output current value of 510 mA
(6 ROWs x 85 mA). The device is able to detect and manage open- and shorted-LED faults. If some
ROWs are not used, during the start up, the device is able to self-detect and automatically disconnect
the ROWs without any fault detection. Output over-voltage, internal power MOSFET over-current, and
thermal shutdown are provided as protection.
