<S> DATA DISPLAY GROUP A FORTEC GROUP MEMBER 1. Overview SmartLED-III is a 17W output LED backlight converter able to drive up to four rails of highbrightness LEDs. The converter is highly configurable by software and thus can be adapted to a multitude of different applications. SmartLED-III is intended as a universal LED Converter to drive LCD panel backlight systems (LED rails) with easy configuration for low and mid quantity sales projects to have a cheaper and/or adaptable product as compared to Mitsubishi (TDK), PowerSystems, CCBR/CDS converter. To compete with these already available...

Note (3) In the upper range of TOp total output power as well as the heat dissipation/cooling has to be checked. Forced airflow might be required. The diagram below shows the derating characteristic:

<S> DATA DISPLAY GROUP A FORTEC GROUP MEMBER 1) To use voltage control of dimming requires alternative firmware or configuration. Brightness control characteristics can be adapted on customer request. Please contact your sales partner for possible options. 2) To use external PWM control of dimming requires alternative firmware or configuration. Please refer to Ordering Information section. Leave VCONTRol unconnected, and apply PWM to VPWMIN. 3) Error Flag might be unavailable for very low dimming ratio (< 10%, TBD) 4) To use sync input requires alternative firmware. Please contact your...

<S> DATA DISPLAY GROUP A FORTEC GROUP MEMBER 8) Below 40mA SmartLED-III has lower precision about with ±20% tolerance. Higher precision could be achieved customized on project base on request. 9) Do not fall below that value to prevent flicker. 10) Use the Brightness Input / Output Transfer Characteristic feature of ChandlerRover for diming the brightness to 0nits with smooth transition and achieving the dimming range up to 1:6000@100Hz. 11) SmartLED monitors the LED strings to detect LED short-circuit and string open-circuit faults. When verified, all string faults force the ERROR flag and...

<S> DATA DISPLAY GROUP A FORTEC GROUP MEMBER The mechanical layout is made similar to current SmartLED-II connector placement, but due to different connector usage and power stage layout, some changes are necessary.

Additionally, the GPIO pin present on this connector may be used as an alternative enable input by configuration option. Location: CON8 Connector used: DF13-5P-1.25H (20) (Hirose) Notes: 1) 3,3V TTL/CMOS signal level.

<S> DATA DISPLAY GROUP A FORTEC GROUP MEMBER Datasheet 10. Hardware Information The SmartLED-III can support single, dual, triple and quad rails at a voltage/current rating of 9 -40 V at 30 - 260 mA. The total output power must not exceed 17 Watts, however! Output channels can be combined by connecting in parallel. In master-slave mode, also outputs of multiple boards can be connected in parallel to combine output power.
