Abstract :
Monolithically integrated Light-Emitting Diode (LED) drivers greatly reduce the cost as well as enhance the reliability of LED system due to their reduction of bulky and expensive off-chip components and assembling cost. However, integrating all the passive and active components of an LED driver on chip is very challenging. This paper discusses current issues of designing a monolithically integrated LED driver and presents some considerations to these problems.
