MAXIM INTEGRATED / ANALOG DEVICES MAX16838AUPV High-Brightness LED Driver

The MAX16838AUPV is a high-efficiency, dual-channel LED driver that integrates a DC-DC controller supporting boost, SEPIC, and boost-buck topologies. It features adjustable LED current from 20mA to 150mA per channel, adaptive voltage control to minimize power dissipation, and a PWM dimming range down to 1us pulse widths. With fault detection, overvoltage and overtemperature protections, and automotive-grade reliability, it is ideal for automotive display backlights, LCD backlights, and automotive lighting applications in a compact 20-pin TSSOP package.
