MIC2844AYMT-TR

MIC2844A High Efficiency 6 Channel WLED Driver with DAM and Single Wire Digital Control General Description Features The MIC2844A is a high efficiency linear White LED (WLED) High Efficiency (no Voltage Boost losses) driver designed to drive up to six WLEDs, greatly extending Dynamic Average Matching (DAM) battery life for portable display backlighting keypad Single wire digital control backlighting, and camera flash in mobile devices. The Input voltage range: 3.0V to 5.5V MIC2844A provides the highest possible efficiency as this architecture has no switching losses present in traditional Dropout of 40mV at 20mA charge pumps or inductive boost circuits. The MIC2844A Matching better than 1.5% (typical) provides six linear drivers which maintain constant current for Current accuracy better than 1.5% (typical) up to six WLEDs. It features a typical dropout of 40mV at Maintains proper regulation regardless of how many 20mA. This allows the WLEDs to be driven directly from the channels are utilized battery eliminating switching noise/losses present with the use of boost circuitry. Available in a 10-pin 2mm x 2mm Thin MLF package The MIC2844A features Dynamic Average Matching Applications (DAM) which is specifically designed to provide optimum matching across all WLEDs. The six channels are matched Mobile handsets better than 1.5% typical, ensuring uniform display Handset LCD backlighting illumination under all conditions. The LED brightness is preset Handset keypad backlighting by an external resistor and can be dimmed using a single- wire digital control. The digital interface takes commands Camera flash (see MIC2843A datasheet) from digital programming pulses to change the brightness in Digital cameras a logarithmic scale similar to the eyes perception of Portable media/MP3 players brightness. The single-wire digital brightness control is divided into two modes of operation full brightness mode, or Portable navigation devices (GPS) battery saving mode for a total of 49 brightness steps. Portable applications The MIC2844A is available in the 10-pin 2mm x 2mm Thin MLF leadless package with a junction temperature range of -40C to +125C.
