Boost LED driver for backlight — 1 MHz, 400 mA switch, 16V output
The LM3501TLX-16/NOPB is a single-output step-up (boost) DC DC regulator from Texas Instruments, designed for backlight LED drive applications. It integrates the switch internally and delivers up to 400 mA switch current at a 1 MHz switching frequency, with a regulated output voltage of 16V.
The device operates from a supply voltage range of 2.7V to 7V, which covers single-cell Li-Ion and 3.3V/5V rails common in portable and embedded systems. Compared to the LM2703MF-ADJ/NOPB — a similar boost regulator with a 350 mA switch current and adjustable output — the LM3501TLX-16/NOPB offers a fixed 16V output and a slightly higher switch current ceiling, which simplifies the BOM when the output voltage is known and the load is fixed.
The 8-DSBGA package (8-WFBGA) is a 0.5 mm pitch BGA that requires rework capability — not a field-swap part. We source this component through our independent supply network. Submit an RFQ for current market pricing and lead time.
