Integrating current-mode boost converter with internal power switch and 10 I²C programmable current sinks, Model A8517 provides 5,000:1 contrast ratio PWM dimming at 200 Hz. IC operates from 4.5–36 V, and can withstand up to 40 V load-dump conditions encountered in automotive systems. I²C interface allows user to set LED currents individually, up to 60 mA per LED channel. Housed in 28-pin eTSSOP package, driver is suited for LCD backlighting, instrument clusters, and daytime running lights.
