Maxim Integrated
General Description
The MAX8847Y/MAX8847Z negative charge pumps drive up to 6 white LEDs with regulated constant current for display backlight applications. By utilizing an inverting charge pump and extremely low-dropout adaptive current regulators, these ICs achieve very high efficiency over the full 1-cell Li+ battery voltage range even with large LED forward voltage mismatch. The 1MHz fixed-frequency switching allows for tiny external components. The regulation scheme is optimized to ensure low EMI and low input ripple. The MAX8847Y/MAX8847Z include thermal shutdown, open- and short-circuit protection.
