High-Performance Negative Charge Pump

for 7 White LEDs in 3mm x 3mm Thin QFN MAX8848Y/MAX8848Z

19-5233; Rev 0; 4/10

Typical Operating Circuit

General Description

The MAX8848Y/MAX8848Z negative charge pumps
drive up to 7 white LEDs with regulated constant current
for display backlight applications. By utilizing an invert-
ing charge pump and extremely low-dropout adaptive
current regulators, these ICs achieve very high efficiency
over the full 1-cell Li+ battery voltage range even with
large LED forward voltage mismatch. The 1MHz fixed-
frequency switching allows for tiny external components.
The regulation scheme is optimized to ensure low EMI
and low input ripple. The MAX8848Y/MAX8848Z include
thermal shutdown, open- and short-circuit protection.
The MAX8848Y/MAX8848Z support independent LED
on/off and dimming control. The MAX8848Y dimming
ranges are pseudo-logarithmic from 24mA to 0.1mA and
off in 32 steps. All devices include a temperature derat-
ing function to safely allow bright 24mA full-scale output
current while automatically reducing current gradually
to protect LEDs at high ambient temperatures above
+60NC.
The MAX8848Y/MAX8848Z are available in 16-pin,
3mm x 3mm thin QFN packages.
