Description

KTZ8868 is the ideal power solution for LED backlighting and LCD bias power of medium size panels. It integrates a step-up converter for LED backlighting, a step-up converter with LDO and inverting charge pump for LCD bias power, resulting in a simpler and smaller solution with fewer external components. High switching frequency allows the use of a smaller inductor and capacitor. Its input operating range is from 2.7V to 5.5V, accommodating 1-cell lithium-ion batteries or 5V supply.

The LED driver’s eight regulated current sinks can regulate up to 30mA with its maximum boost output voltage up to 40V. 11-bit linear or exponential ILED resolution can be obtained over I2C or PWM dimming. For additional flexibility, PWM dimming offers wide range frequency and duty cycle to support Content Adaptive Brightness Control (CABC).

The LCD bias power section includes a step-up converter, LDO and an inverting charge pump to generate dual outputs, OUTP and OUTN, whose voltages can be programmed via an I2C interface. By integrating synchronous rectification MOSFETs for the step-up converter and charge pump, the KTZ8868 maximizes conversion efficiency up to 85%.

Various protection features are built into KTZ8868, including inductor current limit protection, output short circuit protection, output over-voltage protection, LED fault (open or short) protection and thermal shutdown protection.

KTZ8868 is equipped with I2C interface for various controls and status monitor.

KTZ8868 is available in a RoHS and Green compliant WQFN55-32L (5mm x 5mm, 32 Lead).
