The RT8561A is a 40V 8-CH LED driver capable of delivering
30mA to each channel with 10 LEDs (3.6V per diode),
total of 80 LEDs with one driver. The RT8561A is a current
mode boost converter operated at 1MHz, wide VIN range
covers from 6V to 24V and the on-chip current switch is
rated at 2.5A.
The PWM output voltage loop regulates the LED pins to
0.6V with an auto-adjustment circuit allowing voltage
mismatches between LED strings. The RT8561A automati-
cally detects and disconnects any unconnected and/or
broken strings during operation from PWM loop to prevent
V
from over voltage.
OUT
The 1.5% matched LED currents on all channels are simply
programmed with a resistor or a current sink. Both analog
dimming and digitally controlled PWM dimming are
supported by the RT8561A. Analog dimming is linearly
controlled by an external voltage. With an on-chip output
clamping amplifier and a 300kΩ 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 ACTL pin with a PWM
signal.
Other protecting features include programmable output
over voltage protection, LED current limit, PWM switch
current limit and thermal shutdown.
The RT8561A is packaged with a tiny footprint package of
WQFN-24L 4x4 packages.

By adding a 0.1μF filtering capacitor on the ACTL pin, the PWM dimming
signal on the DCTL pin will be averaged out and converted into analog
dimming signal on the ACTL pin.
Channel 6 to Channel 8 LED current sink. Leave the pin unconnected if not
used.
1μF capacitor should be placed on this pin to stabilize the 5V output of the
