DESCRIPTION

The LP8553 is a white LED driver with integrated

boost converter. It has four adjustable current sinks which can be controlled by PWM input or with I2C-

compatible serial interface.

The boost converter has adaptive output-voltage control based on the LED driver voltages. This

feature minimizes the power consumption by

adjusting the voltage to lowest sufficient level in all

conditions.

LED outputs have 8-bit current resolution and up to

13-bit PWM resolution with additional 1-3 bit dithering

to achieve smooth and precise brightness control.

Proprietary Phase Shift PWM control is used for LED outputs to reduce peak current from the boost

converter, thus making the boost capacitors smaller.

The Phase Shifting scheme also eliminates audible

noise.
