Introduction
One inductor, one IC, one string of LEDs. This is the conventional way to build a boost LED driver for LCD display backlights. Although this is a perfectly acceptable solution for small LCD displays that only require a few strings, in larger displays the number of control ICs and inductors multiplies quickly, as do the expense and PCB real estate requirements. This is a major hurdle in the race to replace CCFLs ...
