MIC4812 High Current 6 Channel Linear WLED Driver with DAM and Ultra Fast PWM Control General Description Features The MIC4812 is a high efficiency linear White LED High Efficiency (no Voltage Boost losses) (WLED) driver designed to drive up to six high current Ultra Fast PWM control (200Hz to 500kHz) WLEDs for signage lighting. The MIC4812 provides the Input voltage range: 3.0V to 5.5V highest possible efficiency as this architecture has no LED current range up to 100mA per channel switching losses present in traditional charge pumps or inductive boost circuits. The MIC4812 provides six linear Programmable LED current with external resistor drivers which maintain constant current for up to six Dropout of 190mV at 100mA WLEDs. It features a typical dropout of 190mV at 100mA. Matching better than 1% (typical) The MIC4812 features Dynamic Average Matching Current Accuracy better than 1% (typical) (DAM) which is specifically designed to provide optimum Maintains proper regulation regardless of how many matching across all WLEDs. The high accuracy (1% channels are utilized typical) current regulated WLED channels ensure uniform 10-pin MSOP with ePad package display illumination under all conditions. The brightness is controlled through an Ultra Fast PWM interface Applications operating down to less than 1% duty cycle. The MIC4812 is available in an 10-pin MSOP ePad Billboard displays package with a junction temperature range of -40C to Marquee displays +125 C.
