ON Semiconductor Launches 6 W LED Driver With Integrated DC-DC Boost Converter

March 04, 2009 - ON Semiconductor, a leading global supplier of high performance, energy efficient, silicon solutions has introduced the CAT4106 - a new 6-watt (W) LED driver with an integrated, high-power DC-DC boost converter and on -chip diagnostics to maximize efficiency in larger, general purpose LCD panel backlighting applications.

As the company's first multi-channel boost device, the CAT4106 is capable of driving as many as 40 white LEDs – or four strings of 10 LEDs with up to 36 volts (V) per string - for a total of 6 W of LED output power Additionally, the device enables designers to maximize backlighting efficiency and reduce space via its built-in diagnostics functions, which automatically adjust the output voltage to drive the highest forward voltage (Vf) string with the minimum head room voltage.
Typical application circuit with CAT4106.
The channel of the circuit and the short circuit LED will be detected And flagged on the FAULT logic output (active-low, open-drain). The device also provides thermal shutdown and overvoltage protection (OVP).

The CAT4106 features low dropout LED channels of 500 millivolts (mV) at 175 milliamps (mA) and a high-frequency pulse width modulation (PWM) interface, which supports multiple frequencies up to 2 kilohertz (kHz), providing precise, high-resolution Dimming control while the device remains automatic biased.

Features:
• Four matched output LED channels
• Integrated DC-DC boost converter
• Up to 6-watts LED total output power
• Low dropout LED channels, 500 mV at 175 mA
• High-frequency PWM interface, up to 2 kHz
• On-chip diagnostics with adjustable Short/Open LED detection

Packaging:
• 16-lead TQFN, 4 mm x 4 mm
• 16-Lead TSSOP, 4.4 mm, exposed thermal pad
Price and Availability:
The CAT4106 LED driver is available in a space-saving 4 mm x 4 mm 16-lead TQFN package and a 16-lead TSSOP package with an exposed thermal pad for enhanced power dissipation for $1.06 USD per unit in 10,000 unit quantities. Boards are available now. Projected lead-time for production quantities is currently 6 to 8 weeks ARO.
