Overview

The MAX1916EZT+T is a compact linear LED driver designed to power up to three LEDs from a 2.5V to 5.5V supply. It is specifically optimized for white LED backlighting in portable electronics, featuring excellent current matching of 0.3 percent to ensure uniform brightness across all connected LEDs.

Why Choose This Part

The device features a very low shutdown current of 0.05uA and a low quiescent current of 40uA, extending battery life in portable applications. Its TSOT-23-6 package and integrated switches minimize board space while providing high-precision current matching and thermal shutdown protection.

Applications

Smartphone Backlighting
Driving white LEDs for display backlighting in mobile handsets and wireless devices.
Handheld Terminals
Providing uniform illumination for LCD screens in PDAs, palmtops, and industrial handy terminals.
Digital Imaging Devices
Managing LED indicators and small display backlights in digital cameras and camcorders.
Battery-Powered Indicators
Efficiently driving status LEDs in low-power portable equipment where space is at a premium.

Getting Started

To implement the MAX1916, connect the EN pin to a PWM source or a DAC for brightness control, and use a single external resistor to set the maximum LED current up to 60mA. Ensure adequate decoupling capacitors are placed near the VCC pin to handle switching transients if PWM dimming is utilized.
