Applications
The SC5012 is a 4-channel high-precision, high-efficiency
step-up (Boost) HB LED driver designed for backlight
applications. It features wide input voltage range (4.75V to
45V) , flexible output configuration, wide analog and PWM
dimming range, phase shifting, optional fading, external
boost controller frequency synchronization (FSYNC), I2C
interface, and numerous protection features.
The boost controller, with programmable switching frequency from 200kHz to 2.2MHz, can maximize 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. Each linear current sink is matched
within ±1% for superb lighting uniformity, and the accuracy of each string current is ±2%. An external resistor
adjusts the current from 40-150mA 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 SYNC signal or the boost oscillator.
String-by-string phase shifting reduces the demand on
the input/output capacitance, decreases EMI, and
improves dimming linearity.
SC5012 is available in 4mm X 4mm 24 Ld QFN package.
