Simplified Schematic

3 Description

The LM36272 is an integrated two-channel WLED

driver and LCD bias supply. The ultra-compact size,

high

efficiency,

high

level

of

integration,

and

programmability allow the LM36272 to address a

variety of applications without the need for hardware

changes while minimizing the overall solution area.

The backlight boost provides the power to bias two

parallel LED strings with up to 29-V total output

voltage. The 11-bit LED current is programmable via

input from 60 µA to 30 mA. Each LED string can be

independently enabled or disabled to provide zone

dimming capabilities. The backlight boost can be

operated efficiently with an inductance range from

4.7 µH to 15 µH, allowing for efficiency and solution

size optimization.

The LCD bias boost provides the power to both a

positive LDO and an inverting charge pump. Both

positive

and

negative

bias

supplies

have

programmable output voltages of ±4 V to ±6.5 V with

50-mV steps and up to ±80 mA of current capability.

An auto-sequencing feature provides a programmed

delay from positive to negative bias activation, with

additional programmable voltage slew rate control.

Two wake-up modes allow both bias outputs to be

controlled with a single external signal and stay active

while consuming very low quiescent current.
