60V fast dimming linear LED controller targets automotive lighting
The chip can control LED lights through an external BJT, delivering a constant current of a few mA up to 1.5A, or higher LED current if a MOSFET is used. This ability to optimize the external transistor makes the AL5816Q well-suited for many automotive LED lighting applications, such as rear light clusters, interior illumination, instrument panels, and license plate lighting. The combination of a high-input voltage and high-output drive current, coupled with a versatile high-voltage PWM dimming feature (taking a signal up to 50kHz) allows significantly BOM savings for a wide range of automotive applications. The 5-pin SOT25 package requires very few external components and does not need a separate switching inductor. It features a high-voltage PWM input for LED light dimming. The feedback pin operates at just 200mV, enabling the AL5816Q to control the LED drive current precisely while minimizing the drop-out voltage and reducing the LED system power dissipation, particularly when compared against traditional linear LED controllers.
