Data Brief
Description
This evaluation board based on the PM6600
consists of a high efficiency monolithic boost
converter and six controlled current generators
(rows) specifically designed to supply LEDs
arrays used in the backlight of LCD panels. The
device can manage an output voltage up to 36 V
(i.e. ten white-LEDs per ro w).
The generators can be externally programmed to
sink up to 30 mA and can be dimmed via a PWM
signal (1% dimming duty-cycle at 20 kHz can be
