Integrated, 4-Channel, High-Brightness LED  
Driver with High-Voltage DC-DC Controller  
General Description  
Features  
The MAX16814 high-efficiency, high-brightness LED (HB  
LED) driver provides up to four integrated LED current-  
sink channels. An integrated current-mode switching  
DC-DC controller drives a DC-DC converter that pro-  
vides the necessary voltage to multiple strings of HB  
LEDs. The MAX16814 accepts a wide 4.75V to 40V input  
voltage range and withstands direct automotive load-  
dump events. The wide input range allows powering HB  
LEDs for small to medium-sized LCD displays in automo-  
tive and general lighting applications.  
S 4-Channel Linear LED Current Sinks with Internal  
MOSFETs

to 150mA

S Boost, SEPIC, or Coupled-Inductor Boost-Buck  
Current-Mode DC-DC Controller  
200kHz to 2MHz Programmable Switching  
Frequency  
An internal current-mode switching DC-DC controller  
supports the boost, coupled-inductor boost-buck, or  
SEPIC topologies and operates in an adjustable fre-  
quency range between 200kHz and 2MHz. It can also be  
used for single-inductor boost-buck topology in conjunc-  
tion with the MAX15054 and an additional MOSFET. The  
current-mode control with programmable slope com-  
pensation provides fast response and simplifies loop  
compensation. The MAX16814 also features an adaptive  
output-voltage control scheme that minimizes the power  
dissipation in the LED current-sink paths.  
External Switching Frequency Synchronization  
S Adaptive Output-Voltage Optimization to Minimize  
Power Dissipation  
S 4.75V to 40V Operating Input Voltage Range  
S Less than 40µA Shutdown Current  
S 5000:1 PWM Dimming at 200Hz (MAX16814A _ _  
and MAX16814U_ _ Only)  
S Open-Drain Fault Indicator Output  
S Open-LED and LED Short Detection and  
The MAX16814 consists of four identical linear current  
source channels to drive four strings of HB LEDs. The  
channel current is adjustable from 20mA to 150mA with  
an accuracy of ±±3 using an external resistor. The  
external resistor sets all 4-channel currents to the same  
value. The device allows connecting multiple channels  
in parallel to achieve higher current per LED string. The  
MAX16814 also features pulsed dimming control, on all  
four channels through a logic input (DIM). In addition,the  
MAX16814A_ _ and MAX16814U_ _ include a unique  
feature that allows a very short minimum pulse width as  
low as 1µs.

Integrated, 4-Channel, High-Brightness LED

tion thresholds are programmable using RSDT and OVP  
inputs, respectively. An open-drain FLT signal asserts to  
Detailed Description  
The MAX16814 high-efficiency HB LED driver inte-  
grates all the necessary features to implement a high-  
indicate open-LED, shorted LED, and overtemperature  
performance backlight driver to power LEDs in small  
conditions. Disable individual current-sink channels by  
to medium-sized displays for automotive as well as  
general applications. The device provides load-dump  
voltage protection up to 40V in automotive applications.  
connecting the corresponding OUT_ to LEDGND. In this  
case, FLT does not assert indicating an open-LED con-  
dition for the disabled channel. The device also features  
The MAX16814 incorporates two major blocks: a DC-DC  
an overtemperature protection that shuts down the con-  
controller with peak current-mode control to implement  
a boost, coupled-inductor boost-buck, or a SEPIC-type  
troller if the die temperature exceeds +165NC.  
Current-Mode DC-DC Controller  
The peak current-mode controller allows boost, coupled-  
inductor buck-boost, or SEPIC-type converters to gener-  
ate the required bias voltage for the LED strings. The  
switching frequency can be programmed over the 200kHz  
to 2MHz range using a resistor connected from RT to  
SGND. Programmable slope compensation is available  
to compensate for subharmonic oscillations that occur at  
above 503 duty cycles in continuous conduction mode.  
switched-mode power supply and a 4-channel LED driv-  
er with 20mA to 150mA constant current-sink capability  
per channel. Figure 1 is the simplified functional diagram  
and Figure 2 shows the circuit used for typical operating  
characteristics.  
The MAX16814 features a constant-frequency peak  
current-mode control with programmable slope com-  
pensation to control the duty cycle of the PWM control-  
ler. The high-current FET driver can provide up to 2A of  
current to the external n-channel MOSFET. The DC-DC  
converter implemented using the controller generates  
the required supply voltage for the LED strings from  
a wide input supply range. Connect LED strings from  
the DC-DC converter output to the 4-channel constant  
current-sink drivers that control the current through the  
LED strings. A single resistor connected from the SETI  
input to ground adjusts the forward current through all  
four LED strings.  
The external MOSFET is turned on at the beginning of  
every switching cycle. The inductor current ramps up  
linearly until it is turned off at the peak current level set by  
the feedback loop. The peak inductor current is sensed  
from the voltage across the current-sense resistor R  
CS  
connected from the source of the external MOSFET to  
PGND. The MAX16814 features leading-edge blanking to  
suppress the external MOSFET switching noise. A PWM  
comparator compares the current-sense voltage plus the  
slope compensation signal with the output of the transcon-  
ductance error amplifier. The controller turns off the exter-  
nal MOSFET when the voltage at CS exceeds the error  
amplifier’s output voltage. This process repeats every  
switching cycle to achieve peak current-mode control.  
The MAX16814 features adaptive voltage control that  
adjusts the converter output voltage depending on the  
forward voltage of the LED strings. This feature mini-  
mizes the voltage drop across the constant current-sink  
drivers and reduces power dissipation in the device.  
A logic input (EN) shuts down the device when pulled  
low. The device includes an internal 5V LDO capable of  
powering additional external circuitry.  
Error Amplifier  
The internal error amplifier compares an internal feed-  
back (FB) with an internal reference (REF) and regulates  
its output to adjust the inductor current. An internal  
minimum string detector measures the minimum current-  
sink voltage with respect to SGND out of the 4 constant-  
current-sink channels. During normal operation, this  
minimum OUT_ voltage is regulated to 1V through  
feedback. The error amplifier takes 1V as the REF and  
the minimum OUT_ voltage as the FB input. The ampli-  
fied error at the COMP output controls the inductor peak  
current to regulate the minimum OUT_ voltage at 1V. The  
resulting DC-DC converter output voltage is the highest  
LED string voltage plus 1V.  
All the versions of the MAX16814 include PWM dimming.  
The MAX16814A_ and the MAX16814U_ versions, in par-  
ticular, provide very wide (5000:1) PWM dimming range  
where a dimming pulse as narrow as 1µs is possible at  
a 200Hz dimming frequency. This is made possible by  
a unique feature that detects short PWM dimming input  
pulses and adjusts the converter feedback accordingly.  
Advanced features include detection and string-dis-  
connect for open-LED strings, partial or fully shorted  
strings and unused strings. Overvoltage protection  
clamps the converter output voltage to the programmed  
OVP threshold in the event of an open-LED condition.  
12 _____________________________________________________________________________________  
Integrated, 4-Channel, High-Brightness LED  
Driver with High-Voltage DC-DC Controller  
The converter stops switching when the LED strings are  
turned off during PWM dimming. The error amplifier is  
disconnected from the COMP output to retain the com-  
pensation capacitor charge. This allows the converter  
to settle to steady-state level almost immediately when  
the LED strings are turned on again. This unique feature  
provides fast dimming response, without having to use  
large output capacitors.  
soft-start, the DC-DC converter output ramps towards  
953 of the OVP voltage and uses feedback from the OVP  
input. Soft-start terminates when the minimum current-sink  
voltage reaches 1V or when the converter output reaches  
953 OVP. The typical soft-start period is 100ms. The 1V  
minimum OUT_ voltage is detected only when the LED  
strings are enabled by PWM dimming. Connect OVP to  
the boost converter output through a resistive divider  
network (see the Typical Operating Circuit).  
For the MAX16814A_ _ and the MAX16814U_ _, if the  
PWM dimming on-pulse is less than or equal to five  
switching cycles, the feedback controls the voltage on  
OVP so that the converter output voltage is regulated at  
953 of the OVP threshold. This mode ensures that narrow  
PWM dimming pulses are not affected by the response  
time of the converter. During this mode, the error amplifier  
remains connected to the COMP output continuously and  
the DC-DC converter continues switching.  
When there is an open-LED condition, the converter output  
hits the OVP threshold. After the OVP is triggered, open-  
LED strings are disconnected and, at the beginning of the  
dimming PWM pulse, control is transferred to the adaptive  
voltage control. The converter output discharges to a level  
where the new minimum OUT_ voltage is 1V.  
Oscillator Frequency/External Synchronization  
The internal oscillator frequency is programmable  
Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)  
The MAX16814 features two undervoltage lockouts that  
monitor the input voltage at IN and the output of the inter-  
between 200kHz and 2MHz using a resistor (R ) con-  
nected from the RT input to SGND. Use the equation

input. During this mode, the converter output voltage  
is regulated to 953 of the OVP threshold voltage. If

of the nMOS typically 0.9I. NDRV swings from PGND to  
DRV to drive an external n-channel MOSFET. The driver  
typically sources 2.0A and sinks 2.0A allowing for fast  
turn-on and turn-off of high gate-charge MOSFETs.

Short LED Detection  
The MAX16814 checks for shorted LEDs at each rising  
edge of DIM. An LED short is detected at OUT_ if the  
following condition is met:  
flag output (FLT) goes low when an open-LED string is  
detected, a shorted LED string is detected, and during  
thermal shutdown. FLT is cleared when the fault condi-  
tion is removed during thermal shutdown and shorted  
LEDs. FLT is latched low for an open-LED condition  
and can be reset by cycling power or toggling the EN  
pin. The thermal shutdown threshold is +165NC and has  
15NC hysteresis.

Open-LED Management and Overvoltage Protection  
On power-up, the MAX16814 detects and disconnects  
any unused current-sink channels before entering soft-

connecting the corresponding OUT_ to LEDGND. This  
avoids asserting the FLT output for the unused chan-  
nels. After soft-start, the MAX16814 detects open LED  
and disconnects any strings with an open LED from the  
internal minimum OUT_ voltage detector. This keeps the  
DC-DC converter output voltage within safe limits and  
maintains high efficiency. During normal operation, the  
DC-DC converter output regulation loop uses the mini-

Applications Information  
DC-DC Converter  
Three different converter topologies are possible with  
the DC-DC controller in the MAX16814, which has the  
ground-referenced outputs necessary to use the con-  
stant current-sink drivers. If the LED string forward volt-  
age is always more than the input supply voltage range,  
use the boost converter topology. If the LED string for-  
ward voltage falls within the supply voltage range, use  
the boost-buck converter topology. Boost-buck topology  
is implemented using either a conventional SEPIC con-  
figuration or a coupled-inductor boost-buck configura-  
tion. The latter is basically a flyback converter with 1:1  
turns ratio. 1:1 coupled inductors are available with tight  
coupling suitable for this application. Figure 6 shows  
the coupled-inductor boost-buck configuration. It is also  
possible to implement a single inductor boost-buck con-  
verter using the MAX15054 high-side FET driver.

absolute maximum rating. As soon as the DC-DC con-

old, the PWM controller is switched off setting NDRV  
The boost converter topology provides the highest  
efficiency among the above mentioned topologies. The  
coupled-inductor boost-buck topology has the advan-  
tage of not using a coupling capacitor over the SEPIC  
configuration. Also, the feedback loop compensation for  
SEPIC becomes complex if the coupling capacitor is not  
large enough. A coupled-inductor boost-buck is not suit-  
able for cases where the coupled-inductor windings are  
not tightly coupled. Considerable leakage inductance  
requires additional snubber components and degrades  
the efficiency.

Output Capacitor Selection  
For all the three converter topologies, the output capaci-

converter output ripple to acceptable levels. The entire  
output-voltage ripple appears across constant current-  
sink outputs because the LED string voltages are stable  
due to the constant current. For the MAX16814, limit  
the peak-to-peak output voltage ripple to 200mV to get

Rectifier Diode Selection

Select a Schottky diode with a voltage rating 203 higher  
than the maximum boost-converter output voltage and  
current rating greater than that calculated in the follow-  
ing equation:  
The ESR, ESL, and the bulk capacitance of the output  
capacitor contribute to the output ripple. In most of the  
applications, using low-ESR ceramic capacitors can  
dramatically reduce the output ESR and ESL effects.

During normal operation, the feedback control loop reg-  
ulates the minimum OUT_ voltage to 1V when LED string  
currents are enabled during PWM dimming. When LED  
currents are off during PWM dimming, the control loop  
turns off the converter and stores the steady-state condi-  
tion in the form of capacitor voltages, mainly the output  
filter capacitor voltage and compensation capacitor  
voltage. For the MAX16814A_ _ and the MAX16814U_

±) There are two loops in the power circuit that carry  
high-frequency switching currents. One loop is when  
the MOSFET is on (from the input filter capacitor  
positive terminal, through the inductor, the internal  
MOSFET, and the current-sense resistor, to the input  
capacitor negative terminal). The other loop is when  
the MOSFET is off (from the input capacitor positive  
terminal, through the inductor, the rectifier diode,  
output filter capacitor, to the input capacitor nega-  
tive terminal). Analyze these two loops and make the  
loop areas as small as possible. Wherever possible,  
have a return path on the power ground plane for the  
switching currents on the top layer copper traces, or  
through power components. This reduces the loop  
area considerably and provides a low-inductance  
path for the switching currents. Reducing the loop  
area also reduces radiation during switching.  
PCB Layout Considerations  
LED driver circuits based on the MAX16814 device use  
a high-frequency switching converter to generate the  
voltage for LED strings. Take proper care while laying  
out the circuit to ensure proper operation. The switching-  
converter part of the circuit has nodes with very fast volt-  
age changes that could lead to undesirable effects on  
the sensitive parts of the circuit. Follow the guidelines  
below to reduce noise as much as possible:  
1) Connect the bypass capacitor on V  
and DRV as  
CC  
close to the device as possible and connect the  
capacitor ground to the analog ground plane using  
vias close to the capacitor terminal. Connect SGND  
of the device to the analog ground plane using a via  
close to SGND. Lay the analog ground plane on the  
inner layer, preferably next to the top layer. Use the  
analog ground plane to cover the entire area under  
critical signal components for the power converter.  
4) Connect the power ground plane for the constant-  
current LED driver part of the circuit to LEDGND as  
close to the device as possible. Connect SGND to  
PGND at the same point.  
2) Have a power ground plane for the switching-con-  
verter power circuit under the power components  
(input filter capacitor, output filter capacitor, inductor,  
MOSFET, rectifier diode, and current-sense resistor).  
Connect PGND to the power ground plane as close  
to PGND as possible. Connect all other ground con-  
nections to the power ground plane using vias close
