3 Description
The LP8868X-Q1 family is a non-synchronous Buck,
Boost, Buck-Boost LED driver with 4.5-V to 65-V wide
input range. By integrating the low-side NMOS switch,
the device is capable of driving LEDs as well as
charging batteries with high power density and high
efficiency. The device also supports single-layer PCB
design. The switching frequency is configurable from
100 kHz to 2.2 MHz with an optional spread spectrum
feature for better EMI performance.
The LP8868X-Q1 family supports four dimming
options, including analog dimming, PWM dimming,
hybrid dimming and flexible dimming. Each dimming
method can be configured through the PWM and
ADIM input pins by means of simple high and low
signals. The LP8868X-Q1 family adopts an adaptive
off-time current mode control along with smart and
accurate sampling to enable inductive fast dimming
(IFD) and achieve high dimming ratio.
The LP8868X-Q1 family also provides multiple
systematic protections, including LED open and short,
sense resistor open and short, configurable thermal
foldback and thermal shutdown. Fault output will
send out acknowledge signals as soon as any fault
condition is detected.
