RT8301
8-CH Constant Current LED Driver for Display Backlight
General Description
The RT8301 is a 8-CH constant current sink LED drivers with Dynamic Headroom Control (DHC) function. RT8301 can provide well current matching ability, adjustable VSET to choose the suitable dropout
voltage across the MOS / BTJ. Beside that, DHC will provide the stable VFB dimming, thus
voltage ripple is kept as small even during the dimming.
The RT8301 provides four channel constant currents with less than 3% differences in output current value among the 8-CH and ICs respectively. The constant current is adjustable by each channel external resistor (RISET). The LED brightness can also be adjusted via the EN/PWM pin with PWM dimming duty from 1% to 100%. The RT8301 can operate with external components for high current applications.
The DHC function generates feedback signal to DC/DC control loop and regulate the output
voltage. When RT8301 selects the LED string with the highest forward
voltage, and then the COMP is defined according to that particular string. The COMP
voltage is then compared with the
voltage of VSET to determine the
voltage level of VFB, which therefore control the switching of the primary controller.
RT8301's protection features include Short LED Protection (SLP), Open LED Protection (OLP) and Over Temperature Protection (OTP). When any channel triggers protection function, LED will be turned off and the FAULT pin will pull low.
The RT8301 is available in SOP-24 package t...
