High Voltage 4 Channel LED Driver
RT8560A
General Description
The RT8560A is a 60V 4-channel LED driver capable of
delivering 30mA to ea ch cha nnel with 15 LEDs (3.6V per
diode) total 60 LEDs with one driver. The R T8560A is a
current mode boost converter opearated at 1MHz switching
frequency , wide V
on-chip current switch is rated at 1.5A.
The PWM output voltage loop selects and regulates the
LED pin with the highest voltage string to 0.9V allowing
voltage mismatches between LED strings. The RT8560A
automatically detects and disconnects a ny unconnected
and/or broken strings during operation from PWM loop to
prevent V
OUT
The 3% matched LED currents on all cha nnels are simply
programmed with a resistor or a current sink. Both a nalog
dimming and digitally controlled PWM dimming are
supported by RT8560A. Analog dimming is linearly
controlled by an external voltage. With a n on-chip output
clampping a mplifier a nd a 200kΩ resistor , PWM dimming
signal is easily low-pass filtered to an analog dimming
signal with one external capacitor for noise-free PWM
dimming. A very high contrast ratio true digital PWM
dimming can be achieved by driving EN pin to PWM
shutdown the chip or by driving ACTL pin.
range covers from 6V to 40V and the
IN

Ground pin of the chip. The exposed pad must be soldered to a large PCB
and connected to GND for maximum power dissipation.
PWM boost converter switch node.
Bipolar power switch base current supply. Typical beta of the power N PN
switch is approximately 70. VCC2 can be connected either to VCC1 or to a
separate lower voltage, as low as 3V, for better s ystem efficiency and/or
heat concern. A good bypass is necessary.
Power supply of the chip. For good bypass, a low ESR capacitor is required.
A resistor or a current from DAC on this pin programs the full LED current.

LED ACTL
By adding a 0.1uF filtering capacitor on ACTL pin, the PWM dimming signal
on DCTL pin will be averaged out and converte d into analog dimming signal
on ACTL pin.
Chip enable pin, when low chip is in shutdown mode.
Over voltage protection. PWM boost converter turns off when V
higher than 2.5V.
Soft start pin, a capacitor of at least 10nF is requi red for soft start.
PWM boost converter loop compensation node.
Channel 1 to Channel 4 LED current sink. Leave the pin unconnected if not
used.
