Opt for inductive converter LED drivers
Achieving the desired brightness in mid-size LCD panel applications requires LED drivers to deliver a regulated current to the LEDs across all operating conditions. Typically, two types of LED driver topologies may be used: capacitive charge pumps and inductor-based switching regulators. This article focuses on the inductive converter LED driver circuits delivering between one to six watts of power to the LEDs. |
