G5966
Boost WLED Driver for Backlights
Features General Description
„ 5V to 24 V Input Supply Voltage The G5966 is a 6-channel boost WLED driver for
„ Boost Converter backlight applications. It features a high-performance
Š Automatically Adjusting Output Voltage boost converter, six channel current sink with 3% cur-
Š 1.0MHz Switching Frequency rent matching and accuracy, and PWM brightness
dimming control.
Š Integrated 2.0A 40V NFET
Š Internal Loop Compensation and Soft The boost converter automatically provides the regulated
Start output voltage for the WLED backlight without the need
Š Over Current Protection to calculate the output for different LED types. The
Š Over Voltage Protection switching frequency is 1MHz. It also integrates a 40V
Š Over 90% High Efficiency NFET that provides high output power.
„ Six Channel Current Sink
Š Maximum 30mA Current Sink The 6-channel current sink is ideal for constant current
Š 3% Current Matching and Accuracy driving, and, well matched less than 3% (typical). To
set the maximum driving current, the ISET pin is used
Š 100:1 PWM Brightness Dimming Range
to determine reference current. Each channel of the
„ Open/Short LED protection
current sink is set to 1000 times of this reference cur-
„ Thermal Shutdown rent. A PWM pin can be used for PWM dimming.
„ Small 16-pin 3mmx3mm TQFN package
The G5966 provides many protection schemes to
avoid any abnormal operation. Over current protection
is designed to protect internal NFET. It also provides
Applications over voltage and over temperature protection. The
„ Notebook Displays LED Backlighting G5966 can detect open or short LED and offer protec-
„ LCD Monitor LED Backlighting tions.

The G5966 is available in a 16-pin 3x3mm TQFN

package.
