Price range: $3.93 - $3.98
The MAX21610 is a 16-channel modular backlight driverfor use with automotive displays. The integrated currentoutputs can sink up to 100mA LED current, each dependingon the ambient temperature. Device power comesfrom an external 3.3V or 5V supply, while the LED current-sinkoutputs can operate at up to 17V.A feedback output pin (FB) is provided to control an externalDC-DC converter so that voltage headroom can be optimizedand the overall system power dissipation reduced.The global LED current for all strings is set through a serialperipheral interface (SPI), with individual PWM settings foreach of the channels. The PWM frequency can be determinedusing the internal oscillator or by synchronizing tothe external CLKIO input.The device features a high-speed SPI interface for control.Up to 10 devices can be daisy-chained to reduce connectioncomplexity.The MAX21610 is available in a TQFN package and operatesin the -40 to 125°C temperature range.ApplicationsCentral Information DisplaysInfotainment DisplaysInstrument Clusters
