Frequently Asked Questions

What is the maximum number of LEDs this driver can handle for backlights?

It supports a total of 3 to 8LEDs for LCD Backlight.

Does it use bulky components like coils for power supply?

No, it uses a charge pump circuit for LED power supply, meaning no coiling is needed and contributing to small space.

What is the recommended input voltage range (VBAT)?

The VBAT input voltage must be between 2.7 V and 5.5 V, while VIO should be 1.65 V to 3.3 V.

Can this device be used in life-critical systems like medical equipment?

No, it is not designed for use in systems requiring extremely high reliability, such as medical instruments or aerospace machinery.
