The LED7706 is housed in a 24 leads 4x4-VFQFPN package with exposed pad that allows
good thermal performance. However it is also important to design properly the
demonstration board layout in order to assure correct heat dissipation.

Component selection
Inductor selection
Being the LED7706 mostly dedicated to backlighting, real-estate applications dictate severe
constrain in selecting the optimal inductor. The inductor choice must take into account
different parameters like conduction losses (DCR), core losses (ferrite or iron-powder),
saturation current and magnetic-flux shielding (core shape and technology).
The switching frequency of the LED7706 can be set in the 200 kHz-1 MHz range, allowing a
wide selecting room for the inductance value. Low switching frequencies takes to high
inductance value, resulting in significant DCR and size. On the other hand, high switching
frequencies result in significant core losses. The suggested range is 4.7-22 µH, even if the
