The MAX16807 LED driver includes an internal switch-
mode controller that can be used as boost or buck-
boost (SEPIC) converters to generate the voltage
necessary to drive the multiple strings of LEDs. This
device incorporates an integrated low-side driver, a
programmable oscillator (20kHz to 1MHz), an error
amplifier, a low-voltage (300mV) current sense for high-
er efficiency, and a 5V reference to power up external
circuitry (see Figures 1a, 1b, and 1c).
The MAX16807 LED driver includes a 4-wire serial
interface and a current-mode PWM controller to gener-
ate the necessary voltage for driving eight open-drain,
constant-current-sinking output ports. The driver uses

Detailed Description
Integrated 8-Channel LED Driver with
No Connection. Not internally connected. Leave unconnected.
Analog Ground
MOSFET Driver Output OUT. Connects to the gate of the external n-channel MOSFET.
Power-Supply Input. Bypass V
of a 0.1µF and a higher value ceramic capacitor.
5V Reference Output. Bypass REF to AGND with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor.
LED Driver Outputs. OUT4–OUT7 are open-drain, constant-current-sinking outputs rated for 36V.
Active-Low Output Enable Input. Drive OE low to PGND to enable the OUT0–OUT7. Drive OE high to
disable OUT0–OUT7.
Serial-Data Output. Data is clocked out of the 8-bit internal shift register to DOUT on CLK’s rising
edge.
LED Current Setting. Connect R
LED Driver Positive Supply Voltage. Bypass V+ to PGND with a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor.

Latch-Enable Input. Data is loaded transparently from the internal shift register(s) to the output
latch(es) while LE is high. Data is latched into the output latch(es) on LE’s falling edge, and retained
while LE is low.
LED Driver Outputs. OUT0–OUT3 are open-drain, constant-current-sinking outputs rated for 36V.

current-sensing feedback circuitry (not simple current
mirrors) to ensure very small current variations over the
full allowed range of output voltage (see the Typical
Operating Characteristics ). The 4-wire serial interface
comprises an 8-bit shift register and an 8-bit transpar-
ent latch. The shift register is written through a clock
input, CLK, and a data input, DIN, and the data propa-
gates to a data output, DOUT. The data output allows
multiple drivers to be cascaded and operated together.
The contents of the 8-bit shift register are loaded into
the transparent latch through a latch-enable input, LE.
The latch is transparent to the shift register outputs
when high and latches the current state on the falling
edge of LE. Each driver output is an open-drain, con-
stant-current sink that should be connected to the cath-
