iW7038
16-Channel Internal Current Sink LED Backlighting
Driver for HDR LCD TV/Monitor/Notebook Displays
General Description
The iW7038 is a 16-channel, internal current sink, high precision, LED backlighting driver for high
dynamic range (HDR) LCD TVs, monitors and notebook displays.
It combines adaptive DC/DC or AC/DC feedback control together with Dialog’s patented
BroadLED™ digital adaptive switch mode technology to enable the best system efficiency and
thermal performance.
The iW7038 also offers Dialog’s AnyMode™ comprehensive dimming control, which includes
head/tail/center mode PWM alignments to reduce motion blur. Additionally, it supports 13-bit PWM
dimming and 11-bit analog dimming to improve contrast ratio in HDR applications.
Full protections are included, including built-in LED open/short detection and protection during both
start-up and normal operation.

Note 1
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to
the device. These are stress ratings only, so functional operation of the device at these or any other
conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specification are not implied.
Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
