BD60910GU

●Description BD60910GU is maximum 8LED(minimum 4LED) serial LED driver with ALC (Auto Luminous Control) function. Best match for mobile application that needs long battery life.

●Features 1) Boost DC/DC for LED back lighting Drives maximum 8 to minimum 4 serial LEDs. Integrated high voltage switching transistor Soft start function. Over voltage protection (Detect voltage is controllable) Over current protection (2nd side) VOUT short to GND protection VOUT open protection. 2) Constant current driver for LED back lighting Current step can be set in 7bit(0.2m A 128steps), and 8bit(0.1m A 256steps) in sloping. Rise and fall time of sloping are set independently. Iout max = 25.6m A PWM brightness control by external input. 3) Auto Luminous Control (ALC) Periodic ambient detection reduces sensor consumption current. LED brightness can be controlled by 16steps ambient brightness level. LED current for each ambient level is freely customizable. SBIAS for sensor bias is integrated. (3.0V or 2.6V) Photo Diode, Photo Transistor, Photo IC(Linear/ Logarithm) can be connected. Automatic gain control built-in, so BH1600FVC can be connected directly. 4) Thermal shutdown (Auto-return type) 5) I2C BUS FS mode(max 400k Hz)Write/Read 6) VCSP85H3(3.00mm x 3.00mm) Small Size CSP package
