The MSL2164/MSL2166 compact, high-power LED string drivers use external current control MOSFETs to sink up to 350mA per string, with matching better than ±0.8%. The MSL2164/MSL2166 drive 16 parallel strings of LEDs and offer fault detection and management of open-circuit and short-circuit LEDs.

The MSL2164/MSL2166 feature a 20MHz SPI serial interface. Both devices support video frame-by-frame LED string intensity control for up to eightinterconnected devices, allowing active area dimming and phase-shifted PWM outputs. They also include an advanced PWM engine that synchronizes PWM dimming to the video signal supporting forward, center, reverse and inverse PWM modes for reduced motion blur and waterfall noise.

The MSL2164/MSL2166 adaptively control any topology DC-DC or AC/DC converter that power the LED strings. The patent-pending “Efficiency Optimizers” minimize power use while maintaining LED current accuracy.

A unique combination of LED current control and pulse width dimming management offers simple full-screen brightness control, versatile area dimming and a consistent white point. Full-scale LED regulation current is set for each string using current sense resistors and a 10-bit register that controls global string current. The 12-bit global intensity register controls PWM dimming of all strings, and each string uses a 12-bit register to control individual string PWM

dimming.

The MSL2164/MSL2166 monitor the LED strings for open-circuit, short-circuit, loss-of-sync and over-temperature faults, and provide a hardware fault output (FLTB) to notify the microcontroller. Detailed fault status and control are available through the serial interface. Additionally, the MSL2164/MSL2166 include on-chip EEPROMs that allow customizing of the register power-up states via the serial interface.

The MSL2164/MSL2166 are offered in a 9 x 9 x 0.85mm, 64-pin TQFN package and operate over the -40°C to 85°C temperature range.
