43V 4-CH LED Driver
RT8510
General Description
The RT8510 is a high efficiency driver for white LEDs. It is
designed for LCD panels that employ a n array of LEDs a s
the lighting source. An integrated switch current mode
boost controller drives four strings in parallel and supports
up to 12 pieces of LED per string. The internal current
sinks support a maximum of ±2% current mismatching
for excellent brightness uniformity in ea ch string of LED.
To provide enough headroom for current sink operation
the boost controller monitors the minimum voltage of
feedback pins a nd regulates a n optimized output voltage
for power efficiency .
The RT8510 ha s a wide input voltage ra nge from 4.2V to
24V and provide a n adjustable 10mA to 40mA LED current.
The internal 200mΩ, 43V power switch with current-mode
control provides cycle-by-cycle over current protection.
RT8510 also integrates PWM dimming function for
accurate LED current control. The input PWM dimming
frequency can operate from 120Hz to 30kHz without
inducing any inrush current through the LED or inductor .
The switching frequency of the RT8510 is adjustable from
500kHz to 2MHz, allowing the user flexibility between
efficiency a nd component size.
