How do I drive an LED backlight?

23-10-2025

To light up an LCD, you don’t just need LEDs – you need a proper driver circuit.

A good LED driver ensures:

  • Stable voltage and current
  • Brightness control via PWM or analog dimming
  • Protection against overcurrent and overheating
  • Uniform performance over temperature and time

LED drivers come in many forms:

  • Integrated circuits
  • External controller boards
  • Embedded in your system design
