Description
The CAT4106 is an integrated multi−channel LED driver and high power DC/DC converter suitable for powering backlighting applications up to a total of 6 watts. Up to four matched LED strings can be accurately programmed with uniform drive current set by a single external resistor. Each output channel is suitable for LED string voltages of up to 36 V. The driver automatically adjusts the output voltage to drive the highest forward voltage string with the minimum headroom voltage maximizing the efficiency.
