  • High-Efficiency Charge Pump for Up to Four White LEDs
    • Independent Adaptive Voltage Supply for Each LED
    • 24mA to 0.1mA Dimming Range
    • 1% (typ) Current Accuracy and 0.3% Current Matching
    • Low 65µA (typ) Quiescent Current
  • Dual 200mA Low-Noise, High PSRR LDOs
    • 16 Different Output Voltage Combinations Up to 3.3V
    • High 60dB PSRR at 10kHz
  • Flexible Single-Wire Control for Dimming and LDO Output Voltage
  • Low 0.5µA (typ) Shutdown Mode
  • Soft-Start Limits Inrush Current
  • Thermal Shutdown and Open- and Short-Circuit Protection
  • Tiny 16-Pin, 3mm x 3mm Thin QFN Package (0.8mm max Height) with Exposed Paddle

The MAX8822 drives up to four white light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with regulated constant current for display backlighting in cell phones, digital cameras, PDAs, and other handheld devices. By utilizing a proprietary negative 0.5x inverting charge pump and innovative independent low-dropout (LDO) adaptive current regulators, very high efficiency is achieved over the full 1-cell Li+ battery voltage range, even with large LED VF mismatch. The 1MHz fixed-frequency switching allows for tiny external components. The regulation scheme is optimized to ensure low EMI and low input ripple. Two 200mA, low-noise, high power-supply-rejection-ratio (PSRR) LDOs with programmable output voltages are included on-chip to provide power to camera modules or other devices.

The MAX8822 features a single-wire, serial-pulse control-logic interface that programs LED current and the output voltages of the LDOs. The LED dimming range is pseudo-logarithmic from 24mA to 0.1mA in 31 steps. LDO output voltages are programmable in 16 different combinations to meet various camera module requirements.

The MAX8822 includes soft-start, thermal shutdown, open- and short-circuit protection.

Product Details

The MAX8822 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled and tested printed-circuit board (PCB) that demonstrates the MAX8822 ultra-efficient negative charge-pump LED driver with dual LDOs. The MAX8822 drives up to four white LEDs (WLEDs) for backlighting and contains two 200mA, low-noise, high power-supply-rejection-ratio (PSRR) LDOs to power external camera modules or other loads. The EV kit includes a MAXQ2000 microcontroller circuit that provides the serial-pulse control necessary to adjust WLED brightness and LDO output voltages. Through the MAXQ2000, WLED brightness levels are sequentially incremented/decremented between 0.1mA and 24mA and shut down by pushbutton controls. Sixteen different LDO output-voltage combinations (from off to 3.3V) are selected by DIP-switch positions and latched by a pushbutton. The MAX8822 IC includes soft-start, WLED and LDO short-circuit protection, and thermal shutdown.
