Analog Devices ADM8843 LED Backlight Driver Datasheet
The ADM8843 LED backlight driver from Analog Devices powers up to four white LEDs for LCD backlighting in devices such as cellular phones and camera flashes. It operates from a 2.6 V to 5.5 V supply and offers 1×, 1.5× and 2× charge‑pump modes to maximize power efficiency, achieving up to 88 % over the Li‑ion range. Individual shutdown control and PWM dimming are provided via the CTRL1 and CTRL2 digital inputs.
Key features include 0.3 % typical LED current matching, low‑power shutdown mode, soft‑start limiting in‑rush current, and a compact 3 mm × 3 mm LFCSP package. The datasheet provides detailed specifications, pin configurations, absolute maximum ratings, thermal characteristics, and typical performance curves.
