MAX8930
WLED Charge Pump, RGB, OLED Boost,
LDOs with ALC and CAI
General Description
The MAX8930 integrates a charge pump for white LED
display backlighting with ambient light control (ALC)
feature. The high-efficiency, adaptive-mode 1x/-0.5x
charge pump drives up to 11 LEDs (8 WLEDs + RGB
LED) with constant current for uniform brightness. The
LED current is adjustable from 0.1mA to 25.6mA in 256
linear steps through I 2 C. High accuracy and LED-to-LED
current matching are maintained throughout the adjust-
ment range. The MAX8930 includes soft-start, thermal

shutdown, open-circuit, and short-circuit protection.
Three 200mA LDOs are provided with programmable
output voltages to provide power to external circuitry.
These three LDOs can also be configured for a GPO
function through the I 2 C. A step-up converter is also
available on the MAX8930 for biasing a PMOLED sub-
panel.
The MAX8930 is available in the 49-bump, 3.17mm x
3.17mm WLP package.
