Description
The A8504 is a multi-output WLED driver for medium display backlighting. The A8504 integrates a boost converter and eight current-sinks to provide a WLED/RGB backlight driver. The boost converter can provide output voltage up to 47 V. The flexible channel selection control and high voltage capability allow a wide range of LED backlight applications.

▪ Thin notebook displays
▪LCD TV
