Product Overview

The LP8555 is a Texas Instruments Power_Management LED backlight driver with integrated dual DC-DC boost converters and 12 current sink outputs across LEDA1-LEDA6 and LEDB1-LEDB6. Its recommended VDD operating range is 2.7-20 V, with a separate EN/VDDIO range of 1.7-5.5 V and logic terminals specified from 0-5.5 V for PWM/INT, FSET/SDA, and ISET/SCL.

For LED drive, each sink output supports up to 50 mA. At a 23 mA setting, output current accuracy is specified from -4% to +4%, with 1% typical and 5% maximum current sink matching at PWM = 100%. Saturation voltage is specified at 200 mV typical and 260 mV maximum at 23 mA, or 250 mV typical and 340 mV maximum at 30 mA.

The boost section provides two converters with a 7 V minimum boost output voltage and selectable maximum boost output settings of 18 V, 22 V, 25 V, or 28 V. The part is supplied in a DSBGA-36 package measuring 2.478 mm x 2.478 mm, with 76.2 °C/W junction-to-ambient thermal resistance and operation characterized across -40 to 85 °C ambient conditions.
