Microsemi’s LX1994 is a compact,
high
efficiency,
controller which is designed to drive a
string of white or colored LED’s in a
backlight or front light system. The
LX1994 design is based on a dual
mode PFM architecture and provides
maximum typical efficiency greater
than 92%.
The LX1994 has many unique
design features and advantages over
competitor solutions. The features
included: low quiescent current
(100μA typical), low shut down
current (<1μA), dedicate ambient light
sensor
interface
dimming modes, low voltage and low
offset current sense, and integrated
OVP protection.

The use of external N-channel
MOSFET allows design to optimize
system efficiency.
The OVP protection comparator
eliminates the need of an external Zener
diode clamp. The OVP function can be
scaled

Maximum output current is achievable
by selection of the current sense
resistor. These features make the
controller ideal for PDA or digital
camera applications
To enhance system battery life, the
LX1994 provides 2 dimming options
and a dedicated ambient light sensor
(LX1970) interface.
The LX1994 supports a wide range
of system battery voltage inputs which
ranges from 2.0 to 5.5V. The LX1994
is guaranteed to start up at 2.0V input.
The LX1994 is available in miniature
10-pin MLP or MSOP packages.
