Description
General part information
MAX20444C Series
The MAX20444C is a 4-channel backlight driver IC with boost controller for automotive displays. The integrated current outputs can sink up to 130mA LED current each. The device accepts a wide 4.5V to 36V input voltage range and withstands direct automotive load-dump events.The internal current-mode switching DC-DC controller supports boost or SEPIC topologies and operates in the 400kHz to 2.2MHz frequency range. Integrated spread spectrum helps reduce EMI. An adaptive output-voltage-control scheme minimizes power dissipation in the LED current-sink paths.The device features I2C-controlled pulse-width-modulation (PWM) dimming and hybrid dimming. In either case, the minimum pulse width is 500ns. Phase-shifted dimming of the strings is incorporated for lower EMI.Comprehensive diagnostic information is also available through the I2C interface, while stand-alone operation is also supported.The MAX20444C is available in a 24-pin TQFN or 24-pin side-wettable TQFN (SWTQFN) package and operates over the -40°C to +125°C temperature range.ApplicationsCentral Information DisplaysInfotainment DisplaysInstrument Clusters
