GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The OZ526 is a high efficiency DC/DC controller with an integrated power
MOSFET that drives one string or two LED strings in parallel configuration, with
multiple LEDs connected in series. It is targeted for netbook and PND (Personal
Navigation Device) backlight applications.
OZ526 provides two LED current sense inputs in an “OR” configuration for
improved backlight reliability. This allows the backlight to remain functioning in
the event that any string(s) is damaged during normal operation. The control-
ler receives an external Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) signal for the dimming
control function.
APPLICATIONS
• GPS
• PND
