Renesas launched a new white LED driver IC

Microcontroller (MCU) the world's largest manufacturer of Renesas Electronics (Renesas ELectronics) 24 issued a press release announced that due to the LCD TV LED backlight market showing significant growth, the company has to be (24) began mass production of a white LED used in LCD TV driver IC new product R2A50106FT, the sample price is 160 yen (about 13 yuan), and in May 2012 will increase to 2 million of the monthly output level.

Renesas said the boost control circuit R2A50106FT with Renesas new R & D, compared with the current consumption of the Renesas products, the highest can be reduced by 20%; in addition, the built-in R2A50106FT 8 channel constant current drive (constant-current driver channel), no external power supply control chip, LED maximum current of each channel can drive 160mA, can make the design simple, high grayscale LED backlight system and effectively reduce the number of parts used.
