GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8240 LED driver/monitor, in combination with an external transistor, supplies a constant 12 V to drive LED lamps. This allows cost-effective LED lamp monitoring and short-circuit protection. The output is regulated at 12 V when the supply voltage is between 12.5 V and 27 V.
A CMOS compatible, level-dependent, digital input can be used for PWM control of the LED brightness. VOis turned on when the PWM input is high and turned off when the input is low. The AD8240 is designed to work with a PWM frequency up to 500 Hz, and a typical PWM range from 5% to 95%.
