3 Description

The LM36922 is an ultra-compact, highly efficient,

two string white-LED driver designed for LCD display

backlighting. The device can power up to 8 series

LEDs at up to 25 mA per string. An adaptive current

regulation method allows for different LED voltages in

each string while maintaining current regulation.

The LED current is adjusted via an I2C interface or

through a logic level PWM input. The PWM duty cycle

is internally sensed and mapped to an 11-bit current

thus allowing for a wide range of PWM frequencies and noise-free operation.

The device operates over the 2.5-V to 5.5-V input

voltage range and -40°C to 85°C temperature range.
