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 I2C. High accuracy and LED-to-LED current matching are maintained throughout the adjustment 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 I2C. A step-up converter is also available on the MAX8930 for biasing a PMOLED subpanel.

The MAX8930 is available in the 49-bump, 3.17mm x 3.17mm WLP package.
