Specifications of MAX17061AEVKIT+

Lead Free Status / RoHS Status
Lead free / RoHS Compliant
The MAX17061A is a high-efficiency driver for white light-
emitting diodes (LEDs). It is designed for large liquid-
crystal displays (LCDs) that employ an array of LEDs as
the light source. An internal switch current-mode step-up
controller drives the LED array, which can be configured
for up to eight strings in parallel and 10 LEDs per string.
Each string is terminated with ballast that achieves ±1.5%
current-regulation accuracy between strings, ensuring
even LED brightness. The MAX17061A has a wide input-
voltage range from 7.5V to 26V, and provides a fixed
25mA or adjustable 15mA to 30mA full-scale LED current.
The MAX17061A internally generates a DPWM signal for
accurate WLED dimming control. The DPWM frequency
is resistor programmable, while DPWM duty cycle is con-
trolled directly from an external PWM signal or through a
control word through the MAX17061A’s SMBus™ inter-
face. This DPWM control provides a dimming range with
8-bit resolution and supports Intel display-power-saving
technology (DPST) to maximize battery life.
The MAX17061A has multiple features to protect the
controller from fault conditions. Separate feedback
loops limit the output voltage under any circumstance,
ensuring safe operation. Once an open string is detect-
ed, the string is disabled while other strings operate
normally. The MAX17061A also features short LED
detection. The shorted strings are also disabled after a
2ms fault blanking interval. The controller features
cycle-by-cycle current limit to provide stable operation
and soft-start capability. If the MAX17061A is in current-
limit condition, the step-up converter is latched off after
an internal timer expires. A thermal-shutdown circuit
provides another level of protection.
The MAX17061A’s step-up controller features an internal
150mΩ (typ), 45V (max) power MOSFET with local cur-
rent-sense amplifier for accurate cycle-by-cycle current
limit. This architecture greatly simplifies the external cir-
cuitry and saves PCB space. Low-feedback voltage at
each LED string 625mV (typ) at 25mA LED current helps
reduce power loss and improve efficiency. The
MAX17061A features selectable switching frequency
(500kHz, 750kHz, or 1MHz), which enables a wide vari-
ety of applications that can trade off component size for
operating frequency.
The MAX17061A is available in a thermally enhanced
28-pin, 4mm x 4mm Thin QFN package.
