Integrated 16-Channel LED Drivers with
Switch-Mode Boost and SEPIC Controller
Features
The MAX16809/MAX16810 are integrated, high-efficiency white or RGB LED drivers. They are designed for
LCD backlighting and other LED lighting applications
with multiple strings of LEDs. The MAX16809/
MAX16810’s current-mode PWM controller regulates
the necessary voltage to the LED array. Depending on
the input voltage and LED voltage range, it can be
used with boost or buck-boost (SEPIC) topologies.
The MAX16809/MAX16810 LED drivers include 16
open-drain, constant-current-sinking LED driver outputs
rated for 36V continuous operation. The LED currentcontrol circuitry achieves ±3% current matching among
strings and enables paralleling of outputs for LED string
currents higher than 55mA. The output-enable pin is
used for simultaneous PWM dimming of all output channels. Dimming frequency range is 50Hz to 30kHz and
dimming ratio is up to 5000:1. The constant-current outputs are single resistor programmable and the LED current can be adjusted up to 55mA per output channel.
The MAX16809/MAX16810 operate either in stand-alone
mode or with a microcontroller (µC) using an industrystandard, 4-wire serial interface. The MAX16810 includes
a watchdog and circuitry that automatically detects
open-circuit LEDs.
The MAX16809/MAX16810 include overtemperature protection, operate over the full -40°C to +125°C temperature
range, and are available in a 5mm x 7mm thermally
enhanced, 38-pin TQFN exposed paddle package.

All devices are 100% production tested at TJ = +25°C and +125°C. Limits to -40°C are guaranteed by design.
Guaranteed by design, not production tested.
Parameter is measured at trip point of latch with VFB = 0V.
Gain is defined as A = ∆VCOMP / ∆VCS, 0.05V ≤ VCS ≤ 0.25V.
See Figures 3 and 4.
A 65Ω pullup resistor is connected from OUT_ _ to 5.5V. Rising refers to VOUT_ _ when current through OUT_ _ is turned off
and falling refers to VOUT_ _ when current through OUT_ _ is turned on.

Detailed Description
The MAX16809/MAX16810 LED drivers include an
internal switch-mode controller that can be used as
boost or buck-boost (SEPIC) converters to generate the
voltage necessary to drive the multiple strings of LEDs.
These devices incorporate an integrated low-side driver, a programmable oscillator (20kHz to 1MHz), an
error amplifier, a low-voltage (300mV) current sense for
higher efficiency, and a 5V reference to power up
external circuitry (see Figures 1a, 1b, and 1c).
The MAX16809/MAX16810 LED drivers include a 4-wire
serial interface and a current-mode PWM controller to
generate the necessary voltage for driving 16 opendrain, constant-current-sinking output ports. The drivers
use current-sensing feedback circuitry (not simple current mirrors) to ensure very small current variations over
the full allowed range of output voltage (see the Typical
Operating Characteristics). The 4-wire serial interface
comprises a 16-bit shift register and a 16-bit transparent latch. The shift register is written through a clock
input, CLK, and a data input, DIN, and the data propagates to a data output, DOUT. The data output allows
multiple drivers to be cascaded and operated together.
The contents of the 16-bit shift register are loaded into
the transparent latch through a latch-enable input, LE.
The latch is transparent to the shift register outputs
when high and latches the current state on the falling
edge of LE. Each driver output is an open-drain, constant-current sink that should be connected to the

transmission is shifted in. The MAX16810 also features a
watchdog that monitors activity on the CLK, DIN, and LE
inputs (see the Watchdog (MAX16810) section). The
number of channels can be expanded by using the
MAX6970 and MAX6971 family in conjunction with the
MAX16809 and MAX16810.

constant-current capability is up to 55mA per output,
set for all 16 outputs by an external resistor, RSET. The
devices can operate in a stand-alone mode (see the
Typical Operating Circuits).
The MAX16810 includes circuitry that automatically
detects open-circuit LEDs. Fault status is loaded into the
serial-interface shift register when LE goes high and is

OUT is a push-pull output with the on-resistance of the
pMOS typically 3.5Ω and the on-resistance of the nMOS
typically 4.5Ω. The driver can source 2A and sink 1A typically. This allows for the MAX16809/MAX16810 to quickly
turn on and off high gate-charge MOSFETs. Bypass VCC
with one or more 0.1µF ceramic capacitors to AGND,
placed close to VCC. The average current sourced to
drive the external MOSFET depends on the total gate
charge (QG) and operating frequency of the converter.
The power dissipation in the MAX16809/MAX16810 is a
function of the average output drive current (IDRIVE). Use
the following equation to calculate the power dissipation
in the device due to IDRIVE:
IDRIVE = (QG x fSW)
PD = (IDRIVE + ICC) x VCC
where I CC is the operating supply current. See the
Typical Operating Characteristics for the operating
supply current at a given frequency.
Switch-Mode Controller
Current-Mode Control Loop
The advantages of current-mode control over voltagemode control are twofold. First, there is the feed-forward characteristic brought on by the controller’s ability
to adjust for variations in the input voltage on a cycleby-cycle basis. Second, the stability requirements of
the current-mode controller are reduced to that of a single-pole system unlike the double pole in the voltagemode control scheme. The MAX16809/MAX16810 use
a current-mode control loop where the output of the
error amplifier is compared to the current-sense voltage
(VCS). When the current-sense signal is lower than the
inverting input of the CPWM comparator, the output of
the comparator is low and the switch is turned on at
each clock pulse. When the current-sense signal is
higher than the inverting input of the CPWM comparator, the output is high and the switch is turned off.
Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
The turn-on supply voltage for the MAX16809/
MAX16810 is 8.4V (typ). Once VCC reaches 8.4V, the
reference powers up. There is a 0.8V of hysteresis from
the turn-on voltage to the UVLO threshold. Once VCC
reaches 8.4V, the MAX16809/MAX16810 operate with
VCC down to 7.6V. Once VCC goes below 7.6V (typ),
the device is in UVLO. When in UVLO, the quiescent
supply current into VCC falls back to 32µA (typ), and
OUT and REF are pulled low.
MOSFET Driver
OUT drives an external n-channel MOSFET and swings
from AGND to VCC. Ensure that VCC remains below the
absolute maximum VGS rating of the external MOSFET.
14
Error Amplifier
The MAX16809/MAX16810 include an internal error
amplifier. The inverting input is at FB and the noninverting input is internally connected to a 2.5V reference.
Set the output voltage using a resistive divider between
output of the converter VOUT, FB, and AGND. Use the
following formula to set the output voltage:
R1 ⎞
⎛
VOUT = ⎜1 +
⎟ x VFB
⎝
R2 ⎠
where VFB = 2.5V.
Oscillator
The oscillator frequency is programmable using an
external capacitor and a resistor at RTCT (see RT and
CT in the Typical Operating Circuits). RT is connected
from RTCT to the 5V reference (REF), and CT is connected from RTCT to AGND. REF charges CT through
RT until its voltage reaches 2.8V. CT then discharges
through an 8.3mA internal current sink until CT’s voltage
reaches 1.1V, at which time CT is allowed to charge
through RT again. The oscillator’s period is the sum of
the charge and discharge times of CT. Calculate the
charge time as follows:
tC = 0.57 x RT x CT
where t C is in seconds, R T in ohms (Ω), and C T in
Farads (F).
The discharge time is then:
tD = (RT x CT x 1000) / [(4.88 x RT) - (1.8 x 1000)]
where t D is in seconds, R T in ohms (Ω), and C T in
Farads (F).

Reference Output
REF is a 5V reference output that can source 20mA.
Bypass REF to AGND with a 0.1µF capacitor.
Current Limit
The MAX16809/MAX16810 include a fast current-limit
comparator to terminate the ON cycle during an overload or a fault condition. The current-sense resistor,
RCS, connected between the source of the external
MOSFET and AGND, sets the current limit. The CS
input has a voltage trip level (VCS) of 0.3V. Use the following equation to calculate RCS:
VIN
C1
L1
VCS
IP −P
IP-P is the peak current that flows through the MOSFET.
When the voltage produced by this current (through the
current-sense resistor) exceeds the current-limit comparator threshold, the MOSFET driver (OUT) turns the
switch off within 60ns. In most cases, a small RC filter is
required to filter out the leading-edge spike on the
sense waveform. Set the time constant of the RC filter at
50ns.
Buck-Boost (SEPIC) Operation
Figure 2 shows a buck-boost application circuit using
the MAX16809/MAX16810 in a stand-alone mode of
operation. SEPIC topology is necessary when the total

VOUT can be below or above VIN.

MAX16809/MAX16810
Integrated 16-Channel LED Drivers with
Switch-Mode Boost and SEPIC Controller
LED Driver
CLK is the serial-clock input that shifts data at DIN into
the MAX16809/MAX16810’s 16-bit shift register on its
rising edge.
LE is the latch-enable input of the MAX16809/MAX16810
that transfers data from the 16-bit shift register to its 16bit output latches (transparent latch). The data latches
on the falling edge of LE (Figure 4). The fourth input (OE)
provides output-enable control of the output drivers.
When OE is driven high, the outputs (OUT0–OUT15) are
forced to high impedance without altering the contents of
the output latches. Driving OE low enables the outputs to
follow the state of the output latches. OE is independent
of the serial interface operation. Data can be shifted into
the serial-interface shift register and latched, regardless
of the state of OE. DOUT is the serial-data output that
shifts data out from the MAX16809/MAX16810’s 16-bit
shift register on the rising edge of CLK. Data at DIN
propagates through the shift register and appears at
DOUT 16 clock cycles later. Table 1 shows the 4-wire
serial-interface truth table.
4-Wire Interface
The MAX16809/MAX16810 also operate in a standalone mode (see the Typical Operating Circuits). For
use with a microcontroller, the MAX16809/MAX16810
feature a 4-wire serial interface using DIN, CLK, LE, OE
inputs and DOUT as a data output. This interface is
used to write the LED channels’ data to the MAX16809/
MAX16810. The serial-interface data word length is 16
bits, D0–D15. See Figure 3.
The functions of the five interface pins are as follows:
DIN is the serial-data input, and must be stable when it
is sampled on the rising edge of CLK. Data is shifted in
MSB first. This means that data bit D15 is clocked in
first, followed by 15 more data bits, finishing with the
LSB, D0.

The MAX16810 includes a watchdog circuit that monitors the CLK, DIN, and LE inputs. If there is no transition on any one of these inputs for nominally 1s, the
output latches are cleared and outputs OUT0–OUT15
go high impedance like the initial power-up condition.
This turns off all LEDs connected to the outputs. The
shift-register data does not change, just the outputlatch data. When the watchdog triggers, the outputs
remain off until the driver output latches are updated
with data turning them on. Recovery is therefore automatic if the transmission failure is temporary because
the MAX16810 does not lock up in the watchdog timeout
state. The MAX16810 operates correctly when the serial
interface is next activated, and the watchdog circuit is
reset and starts monitoring the serial interface again. The
watchdog function requires no software change to the
application driving the MAX16810. The rise time for CLK,
DIN, and LE should be less than 10µs.

LED Fault Detection (MAX16810)
The MAX16810 includes circuitry that detects open-circuit LEDs automatically. An open-circuit fault occurs
when an output is sinking current less than approximately 50% of the programmed current flows. Open circuits are checked just after the falling edge of OE. The
fault data is latched on the rising edge of LE and is shifted out when new LED data is loaded into the output
latches from the shift register. If one or more output
ports are detected with an open-circuit fault, the D14
and D13 bits of DOUT go high. If no open-circuit faults
are detected, D14 and D13 are set to low. The data in
the other 14 bit positions in DOUT are not altered. Fault
status is shifted out on DOUT for the first two rising
edges of the clock after the falling edge of LE (see
Figure 5). LE is normally taken high after all 16 bits of
new LED data have been clocked into the shift register(s), and then DOUT outputs data bit D15. A typical
fault-detecting application tests all the shifted out data.
Bits D0–D12 and D15 are checked against the originally
transmitted data to check data-link integrity. Bits D13
and D14 are checked first to see that they contain the
same data (validating the status), and second, whether
faults are reported or not by the actual logic level.
OE
The MAX16809/MAX16810 use an external resistor,
RSET, to set the LED current for outputs OUT0–OUT15.
The minimum allowed value of RSET is 311Ω, which
sets the output currents to 55mA. The maximum
allowed value of RSET is 5kΩ (IOUT_ _ = 3.6mA) and
maximum allowed capacitance at SET is 100pF.
Use the following formula to set the output current:
RSET =
17,100V
IOUT _ _
where IOUT_ _ is the desired output current in milliamps
and the value for RSET is in ohms.
Overtemperature Cutoff
The MAX16809/MAX16810 contain an internal temperature sensor that turns off all outputs when the die temperature exceeds +165°C. The outputs are enabled again
when the die temperature drops below +140°C. Register
contents are not affected, so when a driver is overdissipating, the external symptom is the load LEDs cycling on
and off as the driver repeatedly overheats and cools,
alternately turning itself off and then back on again.

FAULT STATUS BITS
In stand-alone operation, the MAX16809/MAX16810
does not use the 4-wire interface (see the Typical
Operating Circuits). Connect DIN and LE to V+ and
provide at least 16 external clock pulses to CLK to
enable 16 output ports. This startup pulse sequence
can be provided either using an external clock or the
PWM signal. The external clock can also be generated
using the signal at RTCT and an external comparator.

PWM Dimming
All the output channels can be dimmed simultaneously
by applying a PWM signal (50Hz to 30kHz) to OE. This
allows for a wide range of dimming up to a 5000:1 ratio.
Each channel can be independently turned on and off
using a 4-wire serial interface. The dimming is proportional to the PWM duty cycle.
LED Current Amplitude Adjustment
Using an analog or digital potentiometer as RSET allows
for LED current amplitude adjustment and linear dimming.
PCB Layout Guidelines
Careful PCB layout is critical to achieve low switching
losses and clean, stable operation. Use a multilayer
board whenever possible for better noise immunity.
Protect sensitive analog grounds by using a star
ground configuration. Minimize ground noise by connecting AGND, PGND, the input bypass-capacitor
ground lead, and the output-filter ground lead to a single point (star ground configuration). Also, minimize
trace lengths to reduce stray capacitance, trace resistance, and radiated noise. The trace between the output voltage-divider and the FB pin must be kept short,
as well as the trace between AGND and PGND.
Computing Power Dissipation
Use the following equation to estimate the upper limit
power dissipation (PD) for the MAX16809/MAX16810:
i = 15
⎡
⎤
PD = DUTY × ⎢(V + x I+) +
∑ VOUTi x IOUTi⎥
⎢⎣
⎥⎦
i = 0
+ (VCC x ICC)
where:
V+ = supply voltage
I+ = V+ operating supply current
DUTY = PWM duty cycle applied to OE
V OUTi = MAX16809/MAX16810 port output voltage
when driving load LED(s)
IOUTi = LED drive current programmed by RSET
PD = power dissipation
