RT9396
I2C Interface PMIC with 6-Channel WLED Driver and 4-LDO
General Description
The RT9396 is a power management IC (PMIC) for
backlighting and phone camera applications. The PMIC
contains a 6-Channel charge pump white LED driver and
four low dropout linear regulators.
The charge pump drives up to 6 white LEDs with regulated
constant current for uniform intensity. Each channel
(LED1 to LED6) supports up to 25mA of current. These
6-Channels can be also programmed as 4 plus 2-Channels
or 5 plus 1-Channel with different current setting for
auxiliary LED application. The RT9396 maintains highest
efficiency by utilizing a x1/ x1.5/ x2 fractional charge pump
and low dropout current regulators. An internal 6-bit DAC
is used for backlight brightness control. Users can easily
configure up to 64 steps of LED current via the I2C interface
control.
The RT9396 also comprises low noise, low dropout
regulators, which provide up to 200mA of current for each
of the four channels. The four LDOs deliver 3% output
accuracy and low dropout voltage of 200mV @ 200mA.
Users can easily configure LDO output voltage via the I2C
interface control. The LDOs also provide current limiting
and over temperature functions.
