8-Channel 45V, 50mA LED Driver

The ISL97678 is an 8-channel PWM dimming LED driver for LCD backlight applications. The ISL97678 is capable of driving up to 96 pieces of 3.4V/50mA LEDs but larger numbers of LEDs are possible if the LED forward voltage combined is less than 45V. The ISL97678 has 8 channels of voltage controlled current sources with typical currents matching to ±1%, which compensate for the non-uniformity effect of forward voltages variance in the LED strings. To minimize the voltage headroom and power loss in the typical multi-string operation, the ISL97678 features dynamic headroom control that monitors the highest LED forward voltage string and uses its feedback signal for output regulation.
