RT7304AGE Integrated Circuits (ICs)

The RT7304AGE is a sophisticated LED Driver from Richtek, specifically developed to be incorporated into LCD displays and various other lighting applications. It is a combination step-up/step-down regulator with dimming functions and LED open/short protection. It has two operating modes: one for single LED output and second for multiple LED outputs. This LED Driver is suitable for various lighting applications from small portable displays to the largest of LCD displays requiring multiple LED strings.

The RT7304AGE is a Power Management Integrated Circuit (PMIC) that features a built in step-up/step-down regulator with switched mode power conversion. It integrates up to eight independent adjustable current sinks and eight independent current sources. The unit operates over a wide input voltage range of 2.5V to 5.5V. This product also provides a wide range of multiple operating time base, with a frequency selectable in the range of 1MHz to 500KHz.

The RT7304AGE is primarily used in LCD displays, backlighting and lighting applications. Its primary features include adjustable output current, selectable step-up/step-down regulator, and LED open/short protection. It also has thermal shutdown protection and over-current protection. The current source provides constant output current with a reference voltage for current monitoring.

In terms of operation, the RT7304AGE requires two common interface signals, FB and CP. The FB pin is used to sense the output voltage, whereas the CP pin is used to adjust the output current. Furthermore, it has an internal digital dimming logic and PWM dimming input logic. The logic can either use a voltage, current, PWM or external clock as the dimming source.

The RT7304AGE can also provide up to 512KHz of dimming frequency, which allows for a very smooth and uniform backlight, or LED display. Moreover, it can also automate setting for the backlight intensity and dimming curve, providing extra saving for the designer or user. Finally, the product also supports device temperature monitoring for optimal performance.

Overall, the RT7304AGE LED Driver is highly advanced and efficient PMIC solution for LED display, and various other lighting applications. It is suitable for applications from small portable displays to the largest of LCD displays, and offers adjustable current sinks, sources, and dimming functions. Furthermore, this product provides adjustable current and voltage monitoring and dimming solutions with adjustable frequency, thereby allowing for a smooth and uniform backlight or LED display.
