Description

The A8510 is a multi-output white LED driver for LCD backlighting. It integrates a current-mode boost converter with internal power switch and 8 current sinks. The boost converter can drive up to 96 LEDs with 12 LEDs at 40 mA per string. The LED sinks can also be paralleled together to achieve even higher LED currents, up to 320 mA. The A8510 can operate from a single power supply, from 5 to 40 V.
