Overview
|
Tablet PCs, which are becoming increasingly mainstream, possess several key requirements, including the need for lighter weight, longer operating time, decreased thickness, and improved viewability. In response, ROHM offers a broad lineup of LED driver ICs that meets the needs of tablet PCs and similar devices. |
Key Features
-
White LED drive (72 lamps max.) enabled from 2.7V
-
High efficiency PWM dimming enabled from 1% duty.
-
High efficiency thermal dissipation ensured with low EMI
|
Key Feature 1 : Operation enabled from a single li-ion battery
|
Operation is enabled from a supply voltage of 2.7V, enabling driving using a single li-ion battery, contributing to increased set miniaturization. A total of 72 lamps (12 units/line × 6 lines) can be powered, with a maximum current of 25mA per line (set via external resistor). In addition, automatic PWM-based backlight dimming is possible when used with ROHM's BD6092GU controller IC. The result is optimized screen visibility with minimal power consumption, increasing operating time for battery-driven applications. |
 |
Key Feature 2 : PWM dimming possible from 1% duty
|
PWM dimming from 1-100% duty is possible, enabling LCD backlight brightness adjustments over a wide range. Conventional DC dimming methods perform dimming by adjusting the current value. However, this results in significant differences in luminous intensity and brightness fluctuations. In contrast, ROHM utilizes PWM dimming that minimizes fluctuations at low brightness. In addition, constant current supply is ensured for each line, eliminating brightness variations between lines due to differences in VF.

 |
Key Feature 3 : Wide duty range provided for high efficiency operation
|
PWM dimming is utilized featuring a wide duty range, from 1-100%, resulting in high efficiency operation. For example, BD6581GU provides a power efficiency of 90% through 1-100% duty.
This is in contrast with conventional systems where the LED backlight power consumption exceeds LCD power consumption during low duty, making lower power consumption even at low brightness difficult to achieve.
ROHM LED driver ICs are equipped with a precision power supply control system synchronized with the PWM signal, ensuring high efficiency even during low brightness.
|
 |
Key Feature 4 : Easy EMI protection
|
Only one resistor is required for EMI protection even in LED backlight systems with the largest step-up voltage circuits, preventing unwanted interference to the wireless communication systems in tablet applications.
|
 |
Key Feature 5 : No countermeasures against output capacitor noise required
|
The system automatically reduces LED current ramp-up during PWM control, minimizing voltage changes to the output capacitor. |
