Description

The KTZ8850 is a multifunction power management IC combining a high efficiency step-up LED driver with dual output LCD bias power regulator. It features a versatile constant current LED driver with a high efficiency DC-DC step up “boost” converter architecture. The low-side 40V power MOSFET is integrated in the device, minimizing the total number of external components. Unique technology and high 1.3A current limit allow KTZ8850 to drive up to 36V output (single string of 10 LEDs in series or 2 parallel strings of 8 LEDs in series).

The optimized 1.1MHz switching frequency results in small external component size. The driver is equipped with an internal decoder that allows digital FB control dimming for 256-step (8-bit) current programming and can be used for dimming via I2C interface.

High resolution PWM dimming control is also included for extended dimming range. For power savings, the PWM pin can be used for Content Adaptive Brightness Control (CABC) schemes.

Various protection features are built into the KTZ8850, including cycle-by-cycle input current limit protection, LED open-circuit (output over voltage) protection and thermal shutdown protection. The leakage current in shutdown mode is less than 1µA.

An LDO and a charge pump generate dual outputs at +5V (default) and -5V (default), whose voltages can be programmed via an I2C interface. By integrating synchronous rectification MOSFETs for the step-up converter and charge pump, the KTZ8850 maximizes conversion efficiency up to 90%.

The device integrates compensation and soft-start circuitry, which results in a simpler and smaller solution with much fewer external components. High switching frequency (2.2MHz) allows the use of a smaller inductor and capacitor to further reduce the solution size.

The I2C-compatible interface controls the dual output voltages and accesses the programmable functions and registers on the device.

KTZ8850 is available in a RoHS compliant 18-ball 2.47 x 1.27mm WLCSP package.
