Product details
Overview
ADM8843ACPZ-REEL7 from Analog Devices is a four-channel white LED backlight driver IC using fractional charge pump architecture (1×/1.5×/2×) to power main and sub display LEDs from 2.6 V to 5.5 V Li-ion supply. It delivers 20 mA per LED with 0.3% typical current matching, 88% peak efficiency, and supports independent digital shutdown via CTRL1/CTRL2 pins for portable color LCD applications.
For engineers reviewing the ADM8843ACPZ-REEL7 datasheet, ADM8843ACPZ-REEL7 pinout, ADM8843ACPZ-REEL7 application, or ADM8843ACPZ-REEL7 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world efficiency data across Li-ion voltage range, confirmed LED current regulation accuracy, and validated alternatives for dual-display backlight systems.
Technical Context
The ADM8843ACPZ-REEL7 implements automatic gain control that dynamically selects 1×, 1.5×, or 2× charge pump mode based on input voltage thresholds (e.g., 1.5×→2× at 3.33 V), maintaining sufficient anode drive while maximizing efficiency. Its four independent current-controlled sinks regulate LED current via ISET pin (1.18 V reference) with 120× internal gain and ±5% ILED-to-ISET ratio accuracy.
It supports three brightness control methods: digital PWM applied to CTRL1/CTRL2 (100 Hz–200 kHz), DC voltage on VBRIGHT (0–2.5 V), or filtered PWM on ISET. Soft-start limits in-rush current, and shorted-LED fault tolerance preserves operation of remaining LEDs at full programmed current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.6 V to 5.5 V - Supports full Li-ion battery discharge curve without external LDO. |
| LED Current per Channel | 20 mA - Programmable via RSET; stable over −40°C to +85°C with <0.1% variation. |
| Current Matching Accuracy | 0.3% typical - Ensures uniform brightness across RGB subpixels in TFT displays. |
| Charge Pump Efficiency | 88% peak - Measured at VCC = 3.4 V, 20 mA/LED, VF = 4.0 V; enables longer battery life. |
| Shutdown Current | 5 µA - Enables ultra-low-power standby in always-on sub-display modes. |

Pinout & Package
ADM8843ACPZ-REEL7 uses a 16-lead Lead Frame Chip Scale Package (LFCSP), 3 mm × 3 mm body, 0.75 mm height, with exposed paddle thermally and electrically connected to GND.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VOUT (Pin 1) | Charge pump output node | Drives anodes of all four LEDs; requires 2.2 µF capacitor to GND for stability. |
| ISET (Pin 3) | Bias current reference input | Sets LED current via external RSET (e.g., 7.08 kΩ → 20 mA); 1.18 V internal reference. |
| FB1–FB4 (Pins 5–8) | LED cathode feedback terminals | Each connects to one LED cathode; enables individual current sensing and 0.3% matching. |
| CTRL1 / CTRL2 (Pins 12–13) | Digital control inputs | CMOS-level pins controlling main/sub display enable/shutdown and PWM brightness. |
| VCC (Pin 15) | Main power input | Accepts 2.6–5.5 V; requires 4.7 µF decoupling capacitor for charge pump stability. |
| GND (Pins 4,9,10) | Ground reference | Three dedicated ground pins minimize IR drop; exposed paddle must be soldered to GND plane. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fractional charge pump modes | 1×/1.5×/2× auto-switching maximizes efficiency across full Li-ion range (2.6–5.5 V). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar white LED backlight driver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX8647ETE+T | 4-channel, 30 mA max per LED; uses inductive boost; no fractional charge pump modes. | Higher peak current supports brighter LEDs but requires external inductor and generates more EMI. | Choose MAX8647ETE+T when higher LED current (>20 mA) or tighter dimming linearity is required. |
| TPS61165DRVR | Single-output, 40 mA boost converter; supports analog + PWM dimming; no multi-display control logic. | Designed for single-display systems; lacks CTRL1/CTRL2 dual-shutdown functionality. | Choose TPS61165DRVR for cost-sensitive single-display designs where independent sub-display control is unnecessary. |
Compared with ADM8843ACPZ-REEL7, MAX8647ETE+T offers higher current headroom at the cost of inductor-based complexity and EMI, while TPS61165DRVR simplifies BOM for single-display use but removes dual-display flexibility and precision matching.

FAQ
What is the maximum LED forward voltage supported by ADM8843ACPZ-REEL7?
The ADM8843ACPZ-REEL7 supports LED forward voltages up to 4.3 V per LED in 1.5× mode and up to 5.5 V in 2× mode, as confirmed by charge pump output resistance specs (3.5 Ω in 1.5× mode, 8.0 Ω in 2× mode) and efficiency curves across VF = 3.2–4.3 V. Operation remains stable with four 4.0 V LEDs at 20 mA each when VCC ≥ 3.6 V.
How does ADM8843ACPZ-REEL7 achieve 0.3% LED current matching?
The ADM8843ACPZ-REEL7 achieves 0.3% typical LED current matching through four independent current-controlled sinks, each fed by the same ISET reference current (1.18 V / RSET) with 120× internal gain. Each FBx pin senses its respective LED cathode current directly, enabling per-channel feedback without shared current paths or resistor tolerances affecting matching.
Can ADM8843ACPZ-REEL7 drive fewer than four LEDs?
Yes, ADM8843ACPZ-REEL7 can drive one to four LEDs. Unused FBx pins (e.g., FB3/FB4 when using only two LEDs) may be left floating or tied to GND per datasheet guidance. The charge pump and current regulation remain fully functional, and matching accuracy is preserved across active channels.
What is the purpose of the exposed paddle on ADM8843ACPZ-REEL7?
The exposed paddle on ADM8843ACPZ-REEL7 must be soldered to a GND plane to serve dual roles: thermal dissipation (θJC1 = 7.5°C/W) and electrical grounding. Per datasheet Pin Configuration section, failure to connect it degrades thermal performance and may cause instability due to increased junction temperature and ground impedance.
Does ADM8843ACPZ-REEL7 support analog dimming?
Yes, ADM8843ACPZ-REEL7 supports analog dimming via DC voltage applied to VBRIGHT (0–2.5 V), which modulates ISET current linearly. At 0 V, ILED = 20 mA; at 2.5 V, ILED ≈ 0 mA. This method avoids PWM-induced EMI and is documented in Figure 22 and the "LED Brightness Control Using a DC Voltage Applied to VBRIGHT" section.
