Toshiba Announces Two New Highly-Integrated LED Drivers
Both of these LED drivers feature integrated DC-to-DC boost controllers and multiple power MOSFETs for channel current regulations. The TB62D701 LED driver has eight MOSFETs, each capable of driving up to 150 milliamps and up to 58V, while the TB62771 has four MOSFETs capable of driving up to 200 milliamps each and up to 45V. The integration of these MOSFETs on chips will allow engineers to reduce component counts in their product designs, resulting in a smaller design footprint and a less costly bill of materials.
Both LED drivers can respond to a pulse signal as low as 500ns, which is equivalent to one percent of a 20 kHz PWM signal. Such high resolution dimming capability allows LCD TV applications to achieve a super contrast ratio for HD video and ultra-low power consumption at low brightness levels.
Each channel of the TB62D701 can be individually programmed to any desired level with its 8 independent PWM inputs. This unique feature is invaluable for local dimming, channels phase shift control, mood lighting, and any special color mixing applications.
"LEDs have become the lighting technology of choice for many applications thanks to their lower power consumption and high lumen output," said Andrew Burt, vice president of the Analog and Imaging Business unit at TAEC. "Our new TB62D701 and TB62771 LED drivers will push the power savings of LED-based lighting solutions even further thanks to their high levels of integration and the highly-efficient process technology used to manufacture them."
The TB62D701 uses a compact QFN-48 package (7mm x 7mm), but is also available in a HTSSOP 48-lead package for more general purpose lighting applications. The TB62271 is available in a small QFN-20 package (4mm x 4mm). More specific technical information for each of these LED drivers is available online at the TAEC website at LED drivers.
