It features a wide input voltage range (4.5V to 27V), phase-shifted PWM dimming, analog dimming, a flexible output configuration, an I2C interface, and numerous protection features. The SC5014 exhibits 2% to 4% higher efficiency when using the same size inductors as existing LED drivers. But, unlike existing devices, it can also operate with inductors that are up to 10x smaller without sacrificing efficiency. This part can also use very low-profile inductors (as small as 2.2µH, 1mm height), which allows LED drivers to be built directly into the LCD panel to enable ultra-thin displays. The boost controller, with programmable switching frequency from 200kHz to 2.2MHz, maximizes efficiency by dynamically minimizing the output voltage while maintaining LED string current accuracy. It provides excellent line and load response with no external compensation components. An external resistor adjusts the current from 20-120mA per string. It also features PWM dimming resolution of 9 or 10-bits (user selectable) over a dimming frequency from 100Hz to 20kHz, synchronized to the boost oscillator. String-by-string phase shifting reduces the demand on the input/output capacitance, decreases EMI, and improves dimming linearity.
