The A8508 is a multi-output white LED driver for backlit LCD panels. It integrates a current-mode boost controller and eight individual current absorbers.
This boost controller architecture allows for greatly expandable boosts to optimize solutions for the number of LEDs required per string. The FSET/SYNC pin sets the desired boost switching frequency or synchronizes the value over the range of 300 to 800 kHz.
The LED pour current value can be set via an external ISET resistor (see Figure 1). The eight LED sink currents can also be combined to achieve higher currents for each LED string.
The A8508 provides output short-circuit and over-voltage protection, LED pin open-circuit or short-circuit protection, and over-temperature protection. The two-stage pulse-by-pulse current limiting feature provides soft start and protection against high current overloads on external current switches. As an option, the A8508 drives a P-FET connected to the FAULT pin to disconnect the input power from the system in the event of a ground short circuit in the boost converter.
The A8508 is available in a 24-pin TSSOP package (suffix LP) and is fitted with an exposed heatsink for improved thermal functionality. Contact the factory for additional options, including: 24-pin SOICW (LW) or a 5× 5 mm 28-contact QFN (ET) with an exposed heat sink. All packages are lead-free and feature 100% matte tin-plated pin frames.
