Summary
Wide Input Voltage Range, High Efficiency Fault Tolerant LED Driver
Description
The A8502 is a multi-output white LED driver for small-size LCD backlighting. It integrates a current-mode boost converter with internal power switch and two current sinks. The boost converter can drive up to 24 LEDs, 12 LEDs per string, at 120 mA. The LED sinks can be paralleled together to achieve even higher LED currents, up to 240 mA. The A8502 can operate with a single power supply, from 5 to 40 V, which allows the part to withstand load dump conditions encountered in automotive systems.
