The MAX16813 high-efficiency, high-brightness LED (HB LED) driver provides four integrated LED current-sink channels. An integrated current-mode switching controller drives a DC-DC converter that provides the necessary voltage to multiple strings of HB LEDs. The device accepts a wide 4.75V to 40V input voltage range and withstands direct automotive load-dump events. The wide input range allows powering HB LEDs for small- to medium-sized LCD displays in automotive and general lighting applications.An internal current-mode switching DC-DC controller supports boost or SEPIC topologies and operates in an adjustable frequency range between 200kHz and 2MHz. An integrated spread-spectrum mode helps reduce EMI. Current-mode control with programmable slope compensation provides fast response and simplifies loop compensation. An adaptive output-voltage control scheme minimizes power dissipation in the LED current-sink paths. The device has a separate p-channel drive (PGATE) pin that is used for output undervoltage protection. Whenever the output falls below the threshold, the external p-MOSFET is latched off, disconnecting the input source. Cycling the EN or the input supply is required to restart the converter. The external p-MOSFET is off when the EN pin is below 0.3V (typ). The shutdown current is 1µA (typ) at an input voltage of 12V.The device consists of four identical linear current-sink channels, adjustable from 20mA to 150mA with an accuracy of ±3% using a single external resistor. Multiple channels can be connected in parallel to achieve higher current per LED string. The device also features a unique pulsed dimming control through a logic input (DIM), with minimum pulse width as low as 500ns. Protection features include output overvoltage, open-LED detection and protection, programmable shorted LED detection and protection, output undervoltage protection and detection, and overtemperature protection. The device operates over the -40°C to +125°C automotive temperature range. The MAX16813 is available in 20-pin (6.5mm x 4.4mm) TSSOP and 20-pin (4mm x 4mm) TQFN packages.ApplicationsArchitectural, Industrial, and Ambient LightingAutomotive Displays LED BacklightsAutomotive RCL, DRL, Front Position, and Fog LightsLCD TV and Desktop Display LED Backlights

The MAX3948 is a 3.3V, multirate, low-power laser diode driver designed for Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and SONET transmission systems at data rates up to 11.3Gbps. This device is optimized to drive a differential transmitter optical subassembly (TOSA) with a 25Ω flex circuit. The unique design of the output stage enables DC-coupling to unmatched TOSAs, thereby lowering transmitter power consumption by more than 100mW. The MAX3948 receives differential AC-coupled signals with on-chip termination. It can deliver laser modulation currents of up to 85mA at an edge speed of 26ps (20% to 80%) into a 5Ω external differential load. The device is designed to have a high-bandwidth differential signal path with on-chip back termination resistors integrated into its outputs. An input equalization block can be activated to compensate for SFP+/QSFP+ host connector losses. The integrated DC circuit provides programmable laser DC currents up to 61mA. Both the laser DC current generator and the laser modulator can be disabled from a single pin. The device offers one dedicated pin (VSEL) to program up to four channel addresses for multichannel applications. The use of a 3-wire digital interface reduces the pin count while permitting adjustment of input equalization, polarity, output deemphasis, and modulation and DC currents without the need for external components. The MAX3948 is available in a 3mm × 3mm, 16-pin TQFN package, and is specified for the -40°C to +95°C extended temperature range.Applications10GBASE-LR SFP+ Optical Transceivers10GBASE-LRM SFP+ Optical Transceivers40GBASE-LR4 QSFP+ Optical TransceiversOC192-SR SFP+ SDH/SONET Transceivers

The MAX6964 I²C-compatible serial interfaced peripheral provides microprocessors with 17 output ports. Each output is an open-drain current-sinking output rated at 50mA and 7V. The outputs are capable of driving LEDs, or providing logic outputs with external resistive pullup up to 7V.Eight-bit PWM current control is also integrated. Four of the bits are global control and apply to all LED outputs to provide coarse adjustment of current from fully off to fully on with 14 intensity steps. Additionally, each output has an individual 4-bit control, which further divides the globally set current into 16 more steps. Alternatively, the current control can be configured as a single 8-bit control that sets all outputs at once.Each output has independent blink timing with two blink phases. LEDs can be individually set to be either on or off during either blink phase, or to ignore the blink control. The blink period is controlled by an external clock (up to 1kHz) on BLINK or by a register. The BLINK input can also be used as a logic control to turn the LEDs on and off, or as a general-purpose input (GPI). The MAX6964 supports hot insertion. The SDA, SCL, active-low RST, BLINK, and the slave address input ADO remain high impedance in power-down (V+ = 0V) with up to 6V asserted upon them. The output ports remain high impedance with up to 8V asserted upon them.The MAX6964 is controlled through a 2-wire I²C serial interface, and can be configured to one of four I²C addresses.ApplicationsKeypad BacklightsLCD BacklightsLED Status IndicationRGB LED Drivers

The MAX1573 fractional charge pump drives up to four white LEDs with regulated constant current for uniform intensity. By utilizing proprietary adaptive 1x/1.5x modes and ultra-low-dropout current regulators, it maintains the highest possible efficiency over the full 1-cell Li+ battery input voltage range. The 1MHz fixed-frequency switching allows for tiny external components and the regulation scheme is optimized to ensure low EMI and low input ripple.An external resistor sets the full-scale LED current, while two digital inputs control on/off and select amongst three levels of brightness. A pulse-width modulation (PWM) signal can also be used to modulate LED brightness, requiring no additional components.The MAX1573 is available in the tiny chip-scale UCSP™ (4 x 4 grid) and 16-pin thin QFN packages.ApplicationsCell Phones/SmartphonesMP3 PlayersOther Handhelds with Color DisplaysPDAs, Digital Cameras, and Camcorders

Fixed-frequency(1MHz) switching allows for tiny external components,and the regulation scheme is optimized to ensure low EMIand low input ripple.The MAX1574 uses an external resistor to set the fullscale100% LED current. An enable input (EN) is used forsimple on/off control or can be pulsed repeatedly to setlower LED current in multiple steps down to 5%. Once thedesired brightness is set, the MAX1574 maintains constantLED current as long as EN is kept high. If EN is keptlow for more than 2ms, the MAX1574 enters shutdown.The MAX1574 is available in a 10-pin 3mm x 3mm TDFNpackage (0.8mm max height).ApplicationsCamera Strobes/Flashes and Movie LightsCell Phones/SmartphonesLCD BacklightsPDAs, Digital Cameras, and Camcorders
