RT6010
Dual Channel High Efficiency and High Accuracy Average
Current Control LED Backlight Buck Controller
General Description
The RT6010 is a dual channel high accuracy average current
control LED backlight buck controller for 2 LED strings w/
o LED binning. Dual MOSFET drivers are specifically
designed to drive two power N-MOSFETs in an
asynchronous buck converter topology. The controller
provides variable LED current control by adjusting the CS
resistor value for digital and linear dimming. The controller
operates with T1/T2 Average Current Control (T
2
C) topology
to provide high accuracy
±3%.
The controller also provides
high efficiency (higher than 95%) under proper setting
without LED binning. The controller provides V
IN
from 8V
to 450V. It is preferred to operate the controller under a
current ripple of < 30% average current and about 85%
duty to optimize the performance.
The RT6010 can be easily connected in series by master/
slave synchronization for multiple channel, even for more
than 6-CH. The controller provides SPD (Smart Phase Shift
Dimming) that is easily implemented to synchronize master
and slave ICs. The controller provides both analog and
PWM dimming.
The RT6010 automatically detects LED bar open, LED
bar short to V
IN
, and LED bar short to GND to prevent
VOUT from over/under voltage damages. The controller
also outputs fault signal with programmable delay to
previous power stage, such as ACDC controller.
