The CAT3626HV4-GT2 is an IC (Integrated Circuit) component developed by ON Semiconductor. It is a highly efficient, 6-channel LED driver specifically designed for backlighting applications in LCD displays. It offers a wide range of features that make it suitable for various display sizes and types.
Key Features:
1. High Efficiency: The CAT3626HV4-GT2 uses a step-up DC/DC converter to provide accurate, efficient, and stable voltage supply for LED backlighting.
2. 6-Channel Control: It has six LED driver channels, allowing independent control of each channel. This facilitates precise backlight intensity adjustment for uniform lighting distribution.
3. Wide Range Dimming Control: The IC component supports PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) dimming control with a wide dimming ratio from 0% to 100%, enabling smooth and flicker-free adjustment of brightness levels.
4. I2C Interface: It features a standard I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) interface, allowing easy programming and control of the driver functions.
5. Programmable Fade-In/Fade-Out: The CAT3626HV4-GT2 enables the configuration of fade-in and fade-out times for smooth transitions during backlight turn-on and turn-off, reducing visual disturbances.
6. Comprehensive Protection: This IC incorporates several protection mechanisms, including overvoltage protection, undervoltage lockout, short circuit protection, and thermal shutdown
