MAX8790AETP+T

The MAX8790AETP+T is an LED driver specifically designed to meet the power requirements of LED in direct LED drive applications. It is primarily used for LED back-lighting applications, including and but not limited to cell phone and entertainment displays. This LED driver is part of the family of PMIC - LED drivers.

The MAX8790AETP+T is a step-down switching converter with an internal power stage to provide current control architecture. It is designed to control the LED current with a minimum of external components. The output current can be externally regulated by connecting a resistor to the CTRL pin. The LED current accuracy is achieved by using the patented current regulation and temperature compensation techniques.

The MAX8790AETP+T is able to provide up to 4A of LED current at an output voltage of up to 25V. It is designed to provide low-noise operation, with low EMI emissions, no audible noise, and a low-ripple load transient. The device has a very low standby current of less than 500μA.

The device has a wide range of features, including short circuit and overtemperature protection, programmable soft start, external shutdown control and a wide 4V to 30V input voltage range. It also features two programmable PWM dimming options: a 2-bit PWM dimming option, and a 16-bit PWM dimming option. The device is also EMI compliant and can be configured to meet EMI requirements.

The MAX8790AETP+T is designed to provide a cost-effective solution for direct LED drive applications. It is an ideal choice for applications such as LCD/PDP televisions, direct back lighting of LCD based displays, and most LED lighting applications. The device is also suitable for automotive LED lighting applications.

In summary, the MAX8790AETP+T is a highly integrated LED driver specifically designed for direct LED drive applications. It has a wide range of features and a low standby current, making it an ideal choice for a variety of LED application fields. This LED driver is an example of the family of PMIC - LED driver, designed to meet the power requirements of LED applications.
