Fairchild Semiconductor Announces 6-Channel LED Drivers with Extending Battery Life for Mobile Handset
The FAN5701 and FAN5702 are 1x to 1.5x charge pump-based 180mA, 6-channel LED drivers that backlight TFT LCD displays in mobile electronics. Their low transition voltage from 1x to 1.5x mode allows them to operate in 1x mode for a longer time period, achieving higher efficiency. Both LED driver products can be configured to support clamshell form factor mobile handsets that have both main and secondary displays. The FAN5701 and FAN5702 are housed in compact 16-bump WL-CSP and 16-lead UMLP packages to accommodate the slimmer and smaller form factor of today’s portable designs. In WL-CSP form factor the FAN5701 and FAN5702 occupy 2.56mm2, which is one of the smallest lighting solutions available in the market today and are instrumental in conserving PCB space. These LED drivers are part of Fairchild’s comprehensive offering of solutions for the mobile space. These solutions are instrumental in conserving power, space and supporting the rich functionality in mobile applications…
