Description
The A8507 is a multi-output WLED/RGB driver for medium size display backlighting. The A8507 integrates a boost controller to drive external MOSFET and six internal current-sinks. The boost converter is constant frequency current mode converter.
PWM dimming allows LED currents to be controlled in 500:1 ratio. The LED sinks are capable of sinking up to 80 mA each, and can be paralleled together to achieve even higher currents.
The A8507 provides protection against overvoltage, open or shorted LED string, and overtemperature. A dual level cycle-by-cycle current limit function provides soft start and protects against overloads.
The device is provided in a 24-pin SOICW package (LB), with internally fused pins for enhanced thermal dissipation, and a 24-pin TSSOP package (LP), with an exposed thermal pad for enhanced thermal dissipation. Both packages are lead (Pb) free, with 100% matte tin leadframe plating.
